Velvet Goldmine

I'd forgotten the creepy-weird feel of this movie, and how much it made me want to have blue hair, and Ewan McGregor. After a dinner consisting largely of garlic and iced tea, I'm going to lay here on the couch and watch movies until I fall asleep.

I'm watching it right now too.
and yeah, it's got this weird combination of prophetic fairytale and distopian future thing going on that makes it almost unbareably claustrophobic. That and the fact that about 8 million thing in it are left hanging open. I've been told the screenplay (which I recently ordered but isn't here yet) solves some of that, but I'm not sure I want it solved.

I must observe that Soren rented the video for me, and we just watched it tonight.

I thought that Mandy's accent was deliberate -- that she put the faux-Brit accent on when she's trying to be aloof, and when she forgets her masques, she goes back to her normal speech patterns (which, for all the world, remind me of Pat Benatar).
