Yes, daughter. I quadruple read this announcement of Angela’s casting in Adaline to make sure that I was comprehending it correctly.
The movie’s about a woman who was killed in a car accident, but was resurrected by a shock of lightening. The car crash/lightening combo left her forever in her 20s, hence her looking like Katherine Heigl but having a daughter Angela Lansbury’s age.
To be totally frank, this movie sounds like a shitfest and my worst nightmare. I hate magical stuff. This sounds like Powder meets Practical Magic meets Benjamin Button, and I could live my whole life never seeing either of those movies again. But still, Angela Lansbury is a national treasure. She’s my favorite person ever. Will I see this movie? Yes. But only for Angela.
As much as I love you, Molls, I have to say that I LIVE for magical stuff like this. I mean, if there’s no magic or science fiction in something, I kind of insist that it be really funny and/or have horrifically cruel, strong-willed girls in it — which, honestly, is a magic unto itself.
Also, I kind of love all three of those films that you mentioned. But I have much, much less love for Katherine Heigl.
Word.
um, do you mean a national treasure for great britain? because yes she is!
No, Angela, noooooo! You’re so much better than this! Please just keep doing Sondheim on Broadway, as far from Katherine Heigl as possible!
“this movie sounds like a shitfest” is the single best phrase i’ve ever heard in my life. i laughed so hard when i read that. shitfest! hahahaha
