stage beauty

I went out on a limb and saw stage beauty tonight at the nineteenth street theater. There's really only one reason I even knew about the film and that's because Billy Crudup shares the headline with my girl Claire Danes.

I'm betting that most of the world will never see it considering there was near zero advertising and no major theater releases. That's really too bad. I enjoyed it. Sure, it was a bit slow at times but it was funnier than I anticipated and Crudup and Danes were phenomenal. Maybe I was too open-minded because Claire Danes was involved but, as far as dramas involving Shakespearean characters go, I thought it was worthwhile.

Only slightly more shocking than the fact that you went to see what ammounts to an indy film in the theaters is that Claire Danes apparently still has a career. Waaaaitaminute, is this the movie where she flashes tittie? It all makes sense now!

Ah, okay, first things first. YES, Claire shows her breast for like 5 seconds but I really had no idea until it happened. Second, how the hell did you know she did?!?
