First Look: “Coco Chanel”
“Coco avant Chanel”
I have been waiting a long time for this, and I cannot wait to see this either. The film is set to be a anti-biopic of the fashion designer, focusing on her as a young woman – and her rise to the pinnacle of being a fashion legend – portrayed by “Amélie” actress Audrey Tautou. The film has recently begun production and is set for a late US release, possibly 2009, and an even later SA release.
What do you think? Will Tautou pull it off? I know what I think.
Update, 8.27: Warner Bros. have picked up the film, and shooting begins on 15th of September. [Variety]

Well, I hope you know what you think. :P

She is amazing. She is going to nail the role. I do hear Oscar chimes, not quite bells as of yet, but yeah.
I honestly cannot wait to see “Priceless” either, I hear she is too cute.

True.
Her and that film better make their way to my town soon.
I could get lost in her eyes……and her cute lips….and button nose….OMG, I should just stop before I am arrested.

How could you be arrested, she’s like at least 10 years older than you. If anything, she’ll be arrested for making YOU so horned up.
Her eyes are so deep and wondrous………………

I should be arrested, just because my affections are all over the place, with all kinds of people, I am so unstable.
They are, and I think I am popping “Amelie” into my DVD player right now.
Do you ever do that? Like, put a DVD on even if you are not watching, just so you know its playing; it is like a comfort thing for me.
J.D. said,
May 13, 2008 at 8:27 am
OMG YES. ‘Cept I mostly do it with television. And by “television,” I mean 30 Rock. Because 30 Rock IS television. :D
Why don’t I have Amélie on DVD…?
Nick Plowman said,
May 13, 2008 at 8:32 am
I have done it with 30 Rock as well!!! And Grey’s!!!!
But mostly of shows that have long since ended {The OC, Veronica Mars,,,Friends etc}
Maybe I should give you a belated birthday present.

I meant “Amelie” on DVD.
J.D. said,
May 13, 2008 at 8:43 am
Oh.
Yes please, grandma!
Nick Plowman said,
May 13, 2008 at 8:47 am
I resent that. It is also weirdly true.
J.D. said,

You’re my grandma?!
But mom said you died because you smoked too much!
:D
So screw you, Ma!

Nick Plowman said,
May 13, 2008 at 9:00 am
Shoot – that was not my intention.
I just want to bake you chocolate chip cookies and make you homemade milk, and then knit you little socks and stuff.
J.D. said,
May 13, 2008 at 9:05 am
But then we won’t have sex?!
Wait, what?
*sleep deprivation*
*enemy combatant*

*LOST*
Nick Plowman said,
May 13, 2008 at 9:08 am
Yeah, no sex. Coz that is physically wrong.
J.D. said,
May 13, 2008 at 9:10 am
What, the incest or the roleplay? Or the quasi-homosexual nature of the entire damn situation?
…
Can I have a cookie?
Nick Plowman said,
May 13, 2008 at 9:16 am
All of it and a bag of chips.
*passes plate of cookies and homemade milk in a bottle*
J.D. said,
May 13, 2008 at 9:19 am
Thank you, grandma. Mmmm, delicious!
*repression*

And scene.
That’s a wrap on this weeks episode of “My Granny is a Tranny.”
Tune in next week, when we finally figure out how she managed to hide that thing from Jose all those years.
Only on ABC Daytime.
Up next, “The Bold and the Beautiful.”
J.D. said,
May 13, 2008 at 9:31 am
Jose…?
OMG, you’re hiring illegals.
GASP!
Nick, I’m ashamed of you as a non-American for not setting examples for the rest of the world. *shame*
Nick Plowman said,
May 13, 2008 at 9:40 am
I am ashamed that you automatically assume Jose is an illegal.
HE HAS A GREEN CARD. I made it for him using Photoshop and a little elbow grease.
J.D. said,
May 13, 2008 at 9:49 am
Typical liberal horse-hockey!
Go make out with Tim Russert, you homosexual commie draft-dodger.
… wait, wasn’t that Pier Paolo Pasolini or something? Hm.
Nick Plowman said,
May 13, 2008 at 9:55 am
You lost me, again.
J.D. said,

DANT.

Never!!!
I just think someone else should enter our convo so we won’t seem like the only freaks on the farm.

Can she do it? I hope so. I’m happy to see her branch out from Amelie.
Nick Plowman said,
May 13, 2008 at 4:23 pm
I cannot believe you commented on this post after all the other crap above it….
But I am in complete concurrence.

I must’ve been hypnotized by Ms. Tautou. Can you blame me?
Nick Plowman said,

No, can’t say I can.
