Eva and I have been doing a film study of sorts

[conuly]

Mostly this is because we needed something to study so I can get a few months of writing work with her before she hies off to high school, and she wasn't interested in anything conventional.

Not that she's terribly interested in movies, but if I remember I can make popcorn.

Thus far we've watched Sweeney Todd, Billy Elliot, The Sound of Music, and (tonight) West Side Story. At her behest I think we're going to end up with Black Panther next week. She strongly didn't like West Side Story....

Any other suggestions?

10 Things I Hate About You (decent modern take on Taming of the Shrew with a better twist to it? Plus Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles and Joseph Gordon Levitt and David Krumholtz)

My Fair Lady (I admit I prefer the movie to the play Pygmalion for the ending.)

Victor Victoria. (Comedic, period, genderbendery, lots of GREAT actors)

I do love 10 Things.

As far as My Fair Lady goes, I don't think Eliza should end up with either one of them. She deserves better.

I am in the camp of "marriage of convenience".
