The people who lost their land to build that airport did not get a good deal. And then the airport went nowhere fast. It's one of the many reasons why PET (aka Justin Trudeau's dad) is not remembered super fondly in this province. :shrug:

It's a great movie, if you ever do watch it, but it is about a real-life theatre in London that put on nude shows during WWII. There isn't much sexuality in the movie, if any. But, because of the subject matter, there is plenty of nudity. It stars Judy Dench as the elderly socialite who launched the theatre as a way to cure herself of her boredom, Bob Hoskins as her theatre manager, Will Young as the emcee of the shows and Christopher Guest has a relatively small role as the man in charge of making sure the theatre puts on nude "tableaux" because, if the ladies moved while nude, then that's smutty and not allowed. It's an odd mix of seriousness and silliness. And it's kind of my favourite war movie, in an odd way. :lol: Quote:
Honestly, though, you can't buy the chemistry the main three had from the get-go. And it obviously got better and better as time went on. So I wouldn't change the casting of the Harry Potter movies. Quote:

I mean, I go back to Daniel Radcliffe. He's an only child, so he would be used to being mostly in the company of adults. But kids that have siblings... it's gotta be strange to not only be working but be working with adults. |

Sounds like it has a good cast too. Quote:
I do have to admit that Dan is actually taller than me. I've met him a few times outside the stage door when he was doing Broadway plays in NYC. He doesn't tower over me or anything, but I shouldn't really talk about his height when I am a shorty myself. I'd love to see the main trio in films together again, even if they can't all be in the same movie at the same time. Quote:

There's just no putting into words how tremendously weird it is when the first person you remember as a baby becomes a parent of their own. Quote:
I'm trying to think of any actor in the HP franchise I might have had a crush on at some point and I'm kinda drawing a blank... David Tennant, maybe, but in a different role. |

But I do like movies that takes place in one setting and everything unfolds over one day or a week. Like 12 Angry Men is so good and it's just in a deliberation room. Quote:
Matthew Lewis was someone who benefited from puberty. I think of him as a younger Clive Owen. Quote:

Like I feel as if both DanRad and Nicholas, being child actors and probably being rejected at a ton of auditions over the years, learned to have a c'est la vie attitude. Quote:

The only thing I can add, really, is that Mrs Hendesen Presents isn't necessarily just set in the theatre, but it's like a biopic of that theatre. So it is set over an unspecified amount of time and it is mostly in that theatre, though it doesn't always stay there. But it's about that theatre and the people in it. Quote:

I could see something like that vibe for a reunion of the HP trio. :lol: Quote:
Now that I'm on the other side of it, I really get it. :lol: Quote:

But Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon in Sense & Sensibility... Him, I could have had a crush on, for sure. :) |

Still talking about celeb crushes? Cause mine fueled my fire. Thanks a lot, Stephanie Beatriz, remember when she liked my comment and I got giddy? Well, yesterday she actually answered me in a comment I left her :thud: Basically she was in a scary supernatural play in London and I wished so much to see her in a “scary” acting role. So I left a comment about hoping she will someday act in a horror genre movie or show. Then an hour later, I get back on and she wrote me “wellll… :look: definitely google that!” So after my shock, I did google and turns out her next project is indeed a horror movie. :eek: :lol: I can’t believe she answered me and it was a wish granted :lol: I just can’t with this woman and crushing on her. She officially Texted me to give me good news :bawl: |

Is the theater in Mrs. Henderson a real life theater? Quote:

Mrs Henderson was a real woman and her theatre, The Windmill, was a real theatre. When she died, she left it to her manager (played by Bob Hoskins in the movie). When he died, he left it to his daughter. I think it closed under her watch. Quote:
But I do get a bit winded when people I remember being babies demonstrate that they're now adults. :lol: :shrug: Quote:

Also, I've seen him in comedies. Dogma, Love Actually, Galaxy Quest, etc. Heck, he was even funny in Die Hard and Robin Hood, even though he played villains there. |
Yeah, that was the first ever an actor I love told me herself that her next project is exactly what I was wishing for. :eek::eek: I was at work and almost fell over backwards on my chair. And it doesn't help cause I have a crush on her that basically texted me to give me good news. I think the horror movie will be out near the end of the year. I can't beleive Rosa Diaz and Mirabel wrote to me!! :lol:
Yeah, its funny, I have been a fan of X-Files and About a Boy for years and I wasn't expected EVER to see the two of them going at it. Plus I think that was a first for me to see Gillian actually die on screen. :eek: |

This makes me feel old cause I remember watching the X-Files pilot when it first aired in 1993 and literally no one knew who Gillian Anderson was at the time. It was her first TV role. And now she's a legend. :lol: Yeah would have been fun for her to keep coming back as that character, it was a great character who was funny, but crazy. |
Quote:
I never watched X-Files either. I'm at the age where it "should" have been at least something I was aware of, but I wasn't for the longest time. So Gillian Anderson first came to my awareness in Playing By Heart, an ensemble movie where her involvement probably didn't get much attention. So, to me, it's awesome that she's now considered a legend when she was once someone in the cast of a movie with Sean Connery, Gena Rowlands, Angelina Jolie, Dennis Quaid and many more. :lol: Quote:

It's funny that you should mention Snape's arrested development, which is totally real and obvious, because I feel like Sirius's experiences had the same result for him. I don't know how much maturing Sirius did post-Hogwarts, but spending 12 years following the murder of his best friend probably didn't help him grow older gracefully. Quote:
Love Actually was very odd, in a sense, for the reunions of not only Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman but because Hugh Grant plays her brother in this one. :lol: |
