I'll be buying this the instant it arrives.

The features list doesn't mention any deleted scenes or extra footage, but my DVD of Harold and Maude includes the theatrical trailer, and it has some tantalizing glimpses of scenes that didn't make the final cut, most memorably, a couple of shots of Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon sharing a really passionate snog. I have wondered if this was deleted from the film out of concern that seeing a young man passionately kiss an elderly woman would be too off-putting. I hope this wasn't the case, and I'm glad I have the moment preserved in abbreviated form in the trailer, but it's a shame this didn't make it into the movie.

How I love Harold and Maude.

Catching up on Oscar and nominated films, finally.

My Week With Marilyn was a lovely film. Beautifully cast (although I did think Ormond was miscast as Leigh, but it was a tiny part). I never forgot that Michelle Williams was not Monroe, but she did a great job. The illusion of Monroe was very good. She had the voice down pat, it was a wonderful performance. She captured Monroe's insecurity and vulnerability.

Beginners was an interesting movie. I did not not like it, but it really did not move me in any way. I was more interested in the Christopher Plummer character than Ewan McGregor. There were some wonderful moments and I would have killed for McGregor's apartment. What I could do with that space!!!
