Thanks for the preview, Cinephilia. I'm always disappointed when I see the movie *after* reading the book if it's a good one; they never get it right. I don't know why screenwriters feel so compelled to change everything when the novel is already perfect.

Yeah, I'm still trying to imagine Geraldine McEwen as Miss Marple after she so successfully etched herself in my mind as Alan Rickman's witchy advisor in Robin Hood. (Kind of like how I can't see Billie Whitelaw without thinking of Mrs. Baylock! Why is it the great villains we tend to find so unforgettable? Jen, whatever became of your treatise on movie villains?) Anyway, we of all people should know that typecasting is wrong, so I'll definitely keep an open mind!

The DW character sounds pretty interesting. Is he in it a lot? I can't wait to see it!

Do you suppose this is why the British title is "4:50 from PADDING-ton"? ;-) (Sorry, I couldn't help it!) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
