I'm enjoying this more than I did actually watching the movie. And you're achieving what I had thought was completely impossible--making me want to sit through the movie again!
That is great to read. Our hope for this slideshow has been that with Midnite and I sharing some of our favorite moments in the film, it might motivate people to give the film a deeper look and a better understanding of why we like it. If we achieve that in even one person, our efforts will be well worth it.
HBC is such a hoot. I wish more of her deleted scenes had been released.
If only. But who knows what might happen some day down the road...
I don't remember anything being said, anywhere, about the Depp Shadows' Elizabeth's husband. Can you refresh my memory?
Well, no, so far as I know there wasn't any mention of Liz' husband in anything related to the film. I'm sorry for any confusion I may have caused. What I meant with regard to him is that at the party when Carolyn recites the intro to Alice Cooper's "Ballard of Dwight Fry" that deals with a child asking its mother where its father is, that definitely strikes a cord with Liz - and one can tell that Carolyn does it with the intention of getting a reaction from Liz. But when it comes to what was written in Liz' character description, it said that she hadn't left Collinwood for 10 years. Yet that exchange of looks at the party is all we get so far as referencing Mr. Stoddard's absence goes - and the part about Liz not leaving Collinwood isn't referenced at all. Though both are things that would have an effect on Carolyn and her behavior.
I know this is beyond the realm of trivia, but can anyone tell me what the food item is suppsed to be that's huddled on Julia's plate? The only thing that comes to mind is those melon balls that Seventies hostesses used sometimes to soak in champagne or something.
I believe what's on the serving platter and in people's plates are the vegetable for their meal. It looks like they're eating unpeeled new potatoes (which is what the round things are) and carrots:
Though as for the other serving in their plates and on the platter, it looks like it might be greenish and leafy, but I can't really tell with any certainty what it is. Perhaps some sort of cabbage thing.
