SIENNA MILLER IS LADY SUSAN
IN JANE AUSTEN'S 'LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP'
DEZZY'S LITERATURE LESSON
LADY SUSAN is actually a short epistolary novel. It was published
almost a hundred years after it was written because Jane Austen never
really submitted it for publication. All of Lady Susan's suitors in the
novel are younger than her which is unusual for Austen who usually
liked to marry off her characters to older men.

TAMMY COMEDY TRAILER
WITH MELISSA MCCARTHY
And we're ending the working week with the first trailer for TAMMY comedy starring Melissa McCarthy! Coming to cinemas this July it follows Tammy
(Melissa McCarthy) who is having a bad day. She's totaled her clunker car, gotten fired from her thankless job at a greasy burger joint, and instead of finding comfort at home, finds her husband getting comfortable with the neighbour in her own house. It's time to take her boom box and book it. The bad news is she's broke and without wheels. The worse news is her grandma, Pearl (Susan Sarandon), is her only option-with a car, cash, and an itch to see Niagara Falls. Not exactly the escape Tammy had in mind. But on the road, with grandma riding shotgun, it may be just what Tammy needs.
I'm not a big Melissa McCarthy fan, but I do like Susan Sarandon.
ReplyDeleteShe's losing me as a fan too, Dave, she's becoming too crude and rude in her humour and keeps repeating herself.
DeleteYou must be psychic because you read my mind. :)
DeleteI do have special powers, you know... seriously :)
DeleteI'm not a big Melissa McCarthy fan either, oh 'special one' :)
Deleteyep, most of us are a bit disappointed with the direction she took after GILMORE GIRLS
DeleteWow, that's some cool dancing. Seduction by dance, huh? lol
ReplyDeletewe do love us good dance movies, always so fun, inspiring and lovely to watch. STEP UP is one of my all time fave franchises!
DeleteWe do like Step Up don't we darling. All dance is seduction if done correctly.
Deletewe do, dear, nothing warms my heart more than STEP UP movies, and I especially enjoyed the last one STEP UP REVOLUTION which had the most amazing choreographies ever seen on film
DeleteI'd never heard of Lady Susan before. Thanks for the lesson on that. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I still crack up at Melissa McCarthy, but you're right, she is starting to repeat herself in the same role over and over again.
I haven't either, but you know how much I don't love Austen :)
DeleteYep, and somehow I think that her way of humour is becoming offensive to all the overweight people too, you know, the way she has to be rudely goofy instead of having a classy humour
I agree with you, Dez, about Melissa McCarthy but Lady Susan looks delightful :)
ReplyDeleteI know you ladies like Austen's stories :)
DeleteDo you like apple? I do like apple? Okay, I enjoyed that bit.
ReplyDeleteI'm making an apple dessert for a friend this weekend :)
DeleteYum. Apples are so much fun to make into a dessert. What did you make?
Deletean apple cream (apples boiled with sugar and than instant vanilla pudding mixed into it) served in a fancy tall glass with whipped cream on top.
DeleteYUMMMMMMY
DeleteIt is, and very refreshing and low caloric :)
DeleteI'd like Make your Move. I enjoy watching intricate dance choreography.
ReplyDeletesuch movies are so enriching and enchanting and there is something noble about them
DeleteI just said what you and David just said. I think we're on to something.
DeleteWe must be right :)
DeleteThe problem with Melissa McCarthy is that all of her characters are the exact same. Eventually, people are going to grow tired of seeing the same thing over and over. On the other hand, maybe not. She is a funny woman.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you recall Jim Carrey did the same type of comedy for about ten years and than he disappeared because everybody grew tired of it, maybe the same will happen to Melissa.
DeleteNever heard of Derek Hough
ReplyDeleteHe is one of your most famous dancers, even I heard about him :)
DeleteHoly Christ, that picture of Sienna Miller scared the shit out of me. The first thing I thought of was "Dinosaur, flee, flee" The look in her eyes and those crazy feathers make her look like a deadly raptor :)
ReplyDeleteBut it is a pretty dress, still, isn't it? I think that the position of her body is a bit strange, the dress is a work of art :)
DeleteMy Rare One and I love Melissa McCarthy. I'm sure we'll laugh like hyenas all the way through this one!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day, Dezzy! Hugs 'n kisses to you!
thanks for the kisses, Debs! Hope you and the Rare one had a nice Valentines :)
DeleteI really wish Melissa would get better roles. She certainly has talent. I'm just so sick of this same old same old she keeps dragging herself into!
ReplyDeleteme too, I hope she wakes up soon from it all
DeleteTammy looks hilarious. She drove me crazy in the film Identity Thief. She was soo good in the role I ended up hating and loving her in it.
ReplyDeleteit is interesting that TAMMY is directed by Melissa's husband :)
