Marie Antoinette

[rm]

I know it's largely been panned, but I saw a commercial for Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette last night and am more excited than I could possibly say about it. While I suspect it may well be like AI or Moulin Rouge is for many -- an excessively ambitious and iredemeably flawed film that provides some measure of reluctant interest -- I have a strong, fundamental suspicion that it's going to manage to say something or other really important to me, whether it's because I just like costume dramas or that such things speak to the same interests that provoke the existence of Descensus or what, I really have no idea.

But I'm madly excited for it.

Every time I see a commercial for it, I start muttering at the television, "Oh, please don't totally suck! Please! Please don't totally suck."

I'm fairly certain I'm going to enjoy it, no matter how "good" it is. Costumes. Intrigue. Kirsten Dunst. Even if it is dreadful, it'll be a good dreadful, for me.

Good dreadful. (This is now my new identity. Heh.)
