I found it odd that they made a really big point of setting the piece in 1972 and then the costumer did absolutely nothing to reflect that in "angie's" wardrobe and hairstyles...


everything she wore in the film could easily be worn today and look perfectly current.

not a can of worms. just off topic...


the point is the schism within the fanbase is real and unpleasant. the delivery system..."fazebook", this site or any other online message board...is sort of irrelevant.

the subject of the film came up yesterday over on one of the FB boards to yet again the usual wails of discontent. it was a "travesty". it made a "mockery" of the series. blah. blah. blah...


I really have to say this here at this board we exist in something of a deluded isolation bubble in terms of the film. the moderators liked it. as did several of the more active posters. so we've been lulled into the false impression that fans have gradually cottoned to it's offbeat sensibility. that's there's been an overall softening up towards it after the initial wave of outrage and hostility.

but that's really not accurate. from what I've seen elsewhere most "fans" still despise it with a passion bordering on a mania. the lynch mob mentality is still out in force. to even suggest you might have enjoyed it is to instantly find oneself on the defensive.

and even here we've seen that several prominent members, some who've posted here for over a decade with great enthusiasm, have hit the highway. i'm afraid that the film has created an irrevocable schism within the fanbase that's never going to be healed.

I have to say that a lot of the film's stabs at humor fell flat...


but calling Angelique "Angie" was actually pretty inspired.

Is there a context for today's capture and quote?  I'm completely blanking on this part of the movie.

when barnabas arrives at "angie's" office there is a decanter of blood on the conference table. he asks her who's blood it is before, if I recall, drinking a glass from it.

i'm not sure what this means but I just read that an AMC actor named Thorsten Kaye who was apparently a key player has defected to 'the bold and the beautiful'...


the pivotal role of "Ridge Forrester" has been recast as the actor who originated the part since the series' premier departed.

the timing of the dream is odd too...


I haven't actively been viewing the series in a couple of years. I honestly cannot recall the last time I popped a DVD in. and certainly not the 1968 period.

viewing the depp film has really been my only recent activity around the series so it's funny I would have a dream specifically about that period and those actors at this point.
