In Lieu of Content II: Copenhagen! Copenhagen for Everyone!

Keep in mind during this clip that they believe their house is bugged by the Gestapo ... it explains the bits that are all about subtext.

Not the best parts ... kinda squished ... hardly indicative of the transcendent brilliance of the whole ... but DUDE! COPENHAGEN! On YouTube! Someone has seen it besides me! (...and the people to whom I have force-fed it...)

P.S. I am still alive. Just busy and with little to say. Maybe some new art in a couple of days; I've been working on the Herbert West narrator.

What is James Bond doing wearing those old clothes?

Looking FABULOUS, that's what. :P

On british film in general

Everytime I see James Blond in another movie, and even the most in this one, it's like a revelation! And even more so about British film, their understated acting, which more effectively portrays the characters, is just more fun to watch.

YES.

I also have gained quite an appreciation for Daniel Craig (though not the sort of admiration most girls seem to have for him; he's got a weird head, man!). He's a really smart actor. Every time I read an interview with him he really knows what he's doing. Apparently on James Bond he had a daily argument with the director about James' character and how he would react to things and stuff, and usually won. Hooray for brains!

Understated British acting, as well as their vastly better sense of timing and delivery, trumps American performance almost every time. Also they cast people with interesting faces, not just the prettiest one who auditions. :) Compare/contrast the BBC and MGM versions of Nicholas Nickleby, for example. I wish more British movies and TV made it over here. Thank goodness for Masterpiece Theatre (a.k.a. BBC on PBS).

WORD. Especially the "not just pretty faces." I think my parents were a little surprised when, in my early teens, I took to watching Masterpiece Theater.
