Because February has an extra day during Leap Years, Midnite designated that during non-Leap Years today's capture/quote should fall on the 28th, but during Leap Years it would actually appear on the 29th preceded by a different capture/quote on the 28th. But considering that we won't see another Leap Year until 2016, here's what we have to look forward to:
1972 - Elizabeth: 'Carolyn, go to your room.'1972 - Carolyn: 'Everybody in this house tiptoes around him,
but no one cares how I feel!' And the real reason why I'm sharing that now is because I want to talk about Elizabeth's facial expression after she orders Carolyn to her room, yet Carolyn hasn't budged. I love it!
I also suspect that there's more to Carolyn's outburst than mere childish rebellion and more than anything having to do with Carolyn's own secret. (Think possibly more along the lines of Carolyn's apparently absent father (which is very briefly touched on in the film) and what we were told about in Liz' character descriptions but was nowhere to be heard in the film). But if that is the case, apparently it's more stuff that could be dealt with in the whole other film I keep mentioning.
And speaking of Carolyn's outburst, I have to say that I love Julia's three-pronged reaction to it: first, it's like, "Hmm, wow" - then it's like "Oh my God, how will Liz react?" - but then it's like "No, don't look at Liz. Avert your eyes and look down at the table," which is exactly what she quickly does:
The whole sequence, which lasts only a few seconds, is nonetheless priceless!
And one also wonders if Julia's quick aversion of her eyes has anything to do with why Julia made her "bitch" remark? Yet more undercurrent/subtext that could be dealt with in that whole other film.
