Just sat through crappy crap crap boring movie called "Evening" for the sake of Hugh Dancy (who some of you may or may not know, or care, is my best so far movie!James). Lots of powerhouse chick actors in this movie, for all the good it does them. Movie has no idea what it wants to be or what it's trying to say. Still, I did heart Meryl Streep and Vanessa Redgrave at the end there.
But back to Hugh, I only watched it for him and then he goes and rewards me by playing the drunken, far too senstive, sekrit gay (maybe bi) boy tragically in love with the childhood friend that his sister is also in love with. There was even a bare second of boykissing before he was of course rejected and then tried to play it off with inebriated gallantry. Yays!
Then Claire Danes shows up and annoyed the shit out of me as she usually does with her frowning=acting schtick. (She seems like she'd be okay to talk to in RL, but she has never once sold a film role to me). But it wasn't all her fault, the writing was rather atrociously cliche most of the time.
Hugh isn't quite as tall as I imagine teh James, or as secretly nerdy, but between this and (the just as awful) "Blood and Chocolate", and "the Sleeping Dictionary", I think we may have something. (HBO's "Elizabeth" as well, but that was actually a good movie so...)
