It's such a tease. Worthy means worthwhile in rather a dull way. The film isn't exactly exciting, is it? The fostering parents' "secret" isn't exactly earth-shattering. The "quiet girl's" doings are depicted in a very "truncated" way. Worthwhile or worthy? Might have been better if it was all in Irish Gaelic as I couldn't understand the English dialogue. They should have been (on average) n-n-n-NINETEEN! "Shields did have a stand-in in the Blue Lagoon..." I don't know about that, but seven year old Elva Josephson didn't have a stand-in for her nude scenes in the same film. Seduction is persuasion which implies that Tess had sexual feelings: modern sensibilities don't allow girls to have such things. No, there was a real life murder case where a woman was murdered this way. Being a werewolf was his identity: he couldn't (or wouldn't) deny it. Haven't you seen programmes about serial killers? When people comment about people smoking in 50s movies, it's as if they were surprised that people in period movies travel in horse drawn carriages rather than cars. Why would a thirty year old need reading glasses anyway? Thomas talked about brother-sister marriage being allowed in ancient Egypt, so he clearly regarded Alice as his sister really. The switched-at-birth bit was his fantasy. The point is that if everyone knows how to do something, it's impossible to ask how. You must have some experience of this? Double CD's where you don't know how to access the second one. Or hand driers where you have to put your hands in from the top rather than from the sides. What about Netan Yahoo. There's a blond, a brunette *and* a redhead. Heaven forfend that we should be allowed to understand what is going on in a ballet! I'm not sure that narrative is right, or subtitles. Clearly something is required: perhaps the printed programme should be sufficient, though dimmable electric lights make it hard to read. The first time that Craig was expelled from Malkovich's brain he was deposited in a particular place, near the New Jersey Turnpike. How did he know that people would always land there until it happened for the second time? Because Merkins don't understand titles. (The UK version was called "Sardonicus".) I think that he correctly signs his name just "Sardonicus" on the document near the end. Perhaps the children are killed in order to "conceal the consequences of an irregular union" as the Revd. Malthus said in a slightly different context. (He of population control fame.) And is it not sometimes called a "fate worse than death"? (Oh dear, I seem to be justifying child murder.) Probably not genuine, as noted. Anyway, if they'd shown the girls dancing they'd have to had shaved Janina Faye's pubes as she was 13 when she played the part. Only joking.
