NY Times Movie Blurb Poetry

[lumineaux]

“Anonymous” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Swordplay, bodice ripping, bawdy speech and the cold-blooded murder of the truth.

From A.O. Scott's review: " “Anonymous,” a costume spectacle directed by Roland Emmerich, from a script by John Orloff, is a vulgar prank on the English literary tradition, a travesty of British history and a brutal insult to the human imagination."  (http://movies.nytimes.com/2011/10/28/movies/anonymous-by-roland-emmerich-review.html?hp)

Yeah, I think I'll be skipping this one after all.

I'm curious enough to get it on rental sometime. But I can just decide I'm watching speculative fiction.

About what I thought it would be. Furthers my lack of desire to see this film.

Josh planned my big birthday date around seeing this movie, thinking Shakespeare (I have a decent library of stuff around the "controversy" but I don't believe it) + Beautiful Costume Drama + Jacobi & Redgrave .... I know he meant well. Still, I see so few movies in a year, it seems a pity to waste an evening on this one.
