Okay The Film Experience simply must take a long break from Meryl Streep. I blog about her way too much I realize... So we'll take a long break (by which we mean until she wins her first award or nomination of the season) ...so the long break might be a short one. Such is awards season!

I have done battle every single day of my life."
Until then, a break. I need it for sanity. As The Iron Lady might say "It's absolutely non-negotiable." But I couldn't leave Streep be without sharing this 100% Authentic Screencap From the Film In Which Margaret Thatcher seems to be planning battle against all the Best Actress players this year. WTF?!
We also can't begin our official Meryl break until after posting this UK trailer of The Iron Lady in case you haven't seen it (no US trailer beyond that old teaser yet).
YES
- Well, we never miss a Streep movie.
NO
- Ehhhhh, I hope this doesn't glorify that woman (Thatcher not Streep). The neo cons have done enough damage to the world without a liberal goddess (Streep) endorsing one of their icons.
- This doesn't look that promising for Jim Broadbent and he deserves another year as great as 2001.
- Phyllida Lloyd in the director's chair again. Really? If Meryl wants to support female directors we HIGHLY approve but we could name 23 off the top of our heads that would be more deserving of double dipping with some world class actress who could make financing their next film much easier.
MAYBE SO
- Of course it's rude to assume that Ms. Lloyd couldn't make a huge leap forward in skill after that learning on the job business with Mamma Mia! 'So, this is what a camera is!' We would hate to be judged by our very first blog entry forever ;)
