Mood: Wow!

Beckett....I love you.

[link]

Watch this! At least just the first two minutes.

Here's the script if you're interested in actually understanding what they're saying: [link]

Beckett is GENIUS! I love it

And the director did an amazing job in the film version. [link] The website for the film (the interviews with the actors are really interesting)

And even if you're not a fan of absurdism then the cast is brilliant- Juliet Stevenson, Kristin Scott Thomas...ALAN RICKMAN! Three of my fav actors definately. Listen to their voices...perfect! I'm ridiculously jealous. I could listen to Alan Rickman aaallll day haha (is it odd that I'm like obsessed with him because of his voice? I've always had this weird thing with unique voices, particularily stage voices...and people with talent haha. Ok, way off topic, and now you all know I'm a freakXP)

I dunno, am I weird? I just think this is SO cool haha.

Ok, you're aware that I ranted about Beckett in my last journal right?
You know I love this. Beckett, three of my favorite actors, the staging, and people in giant urns. What's not to love?
And yeah. I'm totally in love with Alan Rickman, which you also know, and it's all because of his voice. I could seriously fall in love with someone just because they had a beautiful voice. And Kristin Scott Thomas has a wonderful voice to. Besides her amazing acting, it's what I enjoy most about her performances. And it's so weird to see Juliet Stevenson in something absurdist when you think of her in A Doll's House.
So, I'm just as much of a freak as you.

I don't think you're weird. Well, not any weirder than I am; I work at call centres because I have a voice fetish.

That was really impressive; I've never heard such amazing diction. It really makes you shut everything out and focus like a monk on what they're saying.

That's...comforting? Haha

I know! It does. I want to see a stage production so bad, using spotlights instead of the camera. That would be intense, to say the least.

You rant about Beckett everywhere

Of course you are, who's not?
And yeah...it's an odd transition. She did A Doll's House first, right?

I think so, yeah.

Nah, you're not too weird - I love that too.

And Beckett is pretty much my hero - my favorite film based on his work is the version of Endgame with David Thewlis and Michael Gambon...it's addicting, somehow...
