Upcoming PBS Series on Women, War & Peace

It looks good. SWINTON! will be one of the narrators, and I’m relieved to see more than one quick news-story or 15 minute segment on how things suck. Instead it is a multi-episode series that looks like it asks some big questions. Definitely part of the posse, not the problem. Set your DVRs or what have you for October.

I can’t embed the PBS promo, but here’s one for Pray the Devil Back to Hell.  It’s an inspiring start to the conversation that hopefully takes over our Tuesdays in October. It will also make you feel like everything is possible, and that if you are on your couch watching a documentary, you are not doing enough.

 

 

 

 

I Haven’t Recovered

Just found out that Tilda Swinton is planning a remake of Auntie Mame; which is probably the best movie EVER. They say are going to make it modern and super commercial.  That’s all fine and good as long as SWINTS does it right, which she tends to do.  I wonder if she’ll use her own wardrobe?

Oh, how I wish I could have been in that development meeting.   Just the idea of such a thing happening is like champagne where my blood used to be.  A very happy circulatory system indeed.
