It's one of the few movies on which I'd gladly have spent 13$. Everyone (except one person) is magnificent--especially John Malkovich, who steals the movie. Dish was never a Malkovich fan, felt he delivered all lines in the same way...until, as DishBrother analyzes, In the Line of Fire, though he backslid a bit in The Man in the Iron Mask. Something turned in Malky over the years and he's become a *really* good actor. In Red, be ready for his brilliance. Mirren gave me goosebumps. The only moment I couldn't bear was Bruce Willis french kissing Mary Louise Parker. Ewwww. Maybe Dish has become too prude.Russell Brand just gave an actual, professional monologue on SNL, which hasn't been done in a very long time. Twenty minutes in, the sketches are still unwatchable.

Wanted to report that SideKick and I saw Black Swan last night. That was f*cked up! I'm so on the fence about Natalie's nomination .. I have a problem with someone winning an Oscar for fingering herself and being eaten out in a dream. None of that lolly-gagging took place in the King's Speech .. although imagine how much fun that might have been had it been included!
Black Swan really is not a delightful movie. If Dolly had starred, she would have cheered it up a bit. I think The King's Speech will win because it's more of a crowd pleaser and the voters LOVE disabilities. I did like The King's Speech a lot, too. I'll admit I did love Black Swan (except the ending a bit too much now that I think about it) and it resonated someplace in Dish's tortured soul.
