Beauty and the Beast (2017) dir. Bill Condon

artasweapon-21

One of the worst live action remakes, if not the worst, I have ever seen as per the following:

1. Emma Watson: WAY to big a name. Already had baggage attached (aka people were going to already see her in a certain light playing Belle because of her time in the Potter movies which had a worldwide following). Her snobby refusal to wear a corset because “femenism” (girl you’re in a movie that although is a fantasy it is set in a very real time period). Bland acting mostly. And very off putting at times with her femenist approach to Belle - just very out of character defiance at inappropriate points in the story.

2. Beast was never scary in any point of the movie. Neither was his design very frightening. The animated original did tons better making the beast go from terrifying to a changed more gentlemanly creature.

3. Luke Evan’s was completely mistcast as Gaston hands down. Didn’t have the body. Didn’t have the voice. Didn’t even convince me he was a brutish thick headed thug of a man like Gaston is supposed to be.

For Taylor Swift

From an admirer and fan.By now Taylor has probably moved from Atlanta to the next city on her tour. Unfortunately living paycheck to paycheck and having very few friends who like her music, and having to work both nights left me unable to attend. But I definitely browsed around social media looking at people’s reactions to what was her allegedly 12th and 13th shows on the REPUTATION STADIUM TOUR. (Allegedly)

I just wanted to share a few things

First of all, I was introduced to TSwift thru my sister, who back in her tween years

Hi, Anea. I'm super excited about the upcoming BATB movie but very disappointed in Belle's iconic ball gown like many others. That said, I'm not a fashion person, other than realizing that yellow can be a hard color to pull off, so I don't know how the dress could have been made better. My question, then, would be what kind of alternative material/cut/etc. could have made the dress more like in the animation (better, iconic, gorgeous, flowing, all that stuff)? Thank you!

All I ask for is Belle’s golden dress as designed by Miguel Angel Huidor, for Stage Entertainment. Soft yellow sprinkled with gold, gorgeous drapes, a Rococo touch, always spectacular.

Had the upcoming BATB movie shown this dress, it would have been an utter legend and copied to death. It offers so much for the eye to look at, without really stealing the focus from the Belle actress. Just complimenting her.

I think that’s the problem with the BATB movie dress - it doesn’t have any details or any oomph, nothing for the eye to look at. Which is nice enough for the actress, as it’s full focus on her. But it’s quite underwhelming for being *the* golden dress everyone had expectations for.

If I could choose I would have given the dress a more subtle yellow shade, maybe by adding a sequin overlay on the silk, or more ornamentation as that seen on the hem. I would also have given the bodice a more historical touch, by adding a sequinned or pleated “bertha” neckline.

Like this 1860s Emile Pingat dress:

So yeah, a paler shade, more overlay details, more details in general, or a way more spectacular neckline at least. That’s stuff I would have added.

did-you-know

About ½ of your friends probably don’t think of you as their friend.

Climbing the social ladder causes a lot of one- sided friendships, because those lower on the ladder often claim to be friends with people who are higher up, while those at the top are more selective about who they consider to be in their circle. Basically, no matter where you land on the ladder, you have more fake friendships than you think you do.
