She wholeheartedly endorsed the two bits that Joss added and was okay with all the bits that were compressed.
I know the opening morning after was an add, but what was the other?
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The photographer? Heh. I was wondering about her prominence.

I am crossing my fingers that the Ridgeway in Memphis keeps showing it over next weekend. There was no way in hell I was making an additional drive yesterday (my head was too stabby and groggy to even go see a stoner comedy at the local cinema, or to sit through an episode of
Henry Cavill Gettin' it OnThe Tudors
at home, for that matter).

Yep, the opening scene and the bit where Hero watches the funeral procession.
Apparently, _everyone_ includes the damning window scene, which does not appear in the play. BW does not object to this addition because the original play makes Claudio seem irredeemable and Hero a fool for taking him back.
BW also talked about how much she enjoyed the portrayal of the Friar. In fact, she said it was her favorite representation of that character, ever. I feel compelled to write to the actor and say so because, damn, that's high praise.
OH, she also applauded Clark Gregg for Leonato's clear softening to Hero at the end of his 'you are dead to me' scene. She felt that the shift made much more sense than the original text.
AND, she asked if Joss wrote music before (bwah) and said that throughout her entire career, she has _fought_ with directors to do what Joss did by incorporating the text into songs.
She also loved the cinematography and, overall, deemed it a huge improvement on the play.
I loved the movie, for its own sake, but I loved it even more to hear that a leading expert on the source material thought Joss did an amazing job.

FYI, the one word was "Jew."
She also said that the dialogue was delivered more naturally than she'd ever seen it.
The older lady who accompanied us said that she felt like she wasn't 'translating' in her head by about 5 minutes in.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
FYI, the one word was "Jew."
What was it changed to?
Mainly I'm wondering what was so anti-semitic that Joss felt he needed to change it where he was apparently totally comfortable leaving "I would marry her were she an Ethiope" intact.

That is very cool to hear, bonny.

I fear that I will have no chance to see this in the theater. Apparently, Eastern Iowa has never heard of Art Movie houses.
I finally saw Gatsby and was underwhelmed. I was lured in by the Art Deco-ness of the logo into thinking that the production design would be likewise. Oh well. I think Di Caprio is kind of weak as an actor. And McGuire is also disappointing.
