when joan baez doesn't change the pronouns in love songs so she serenades you gayly

#everyone these days is all 'oooh keri russell of the prestige cable drama scene' #but let's not forget the importance of her romcom era #i wasn't sure about this one at first in that way where people make movies/shows about the *trappings* of a regency-set story #while missing basically the entire point of regency settings and the things that make them compelling #aka the bridgerton scenario #a vaudeville sort of clown-show of people going through the fancy dress motions - ends up all pose and no meaning #all hat and no cattle #where they make them about clothing and dances and tea when regency stories need to be about money basically #it's the money (lack of/fear about/differences of) which give the dances and tea and clothing their meaning #(aka as austen says: everything is about sex except sex which is about money) #(source: she says that when i read it) #and 10 minutes into this one I realised it actually wasn't doing the regency halloween costume bit: it was ABOUT people who do that #actually 10 seconds in when jane seymour appears in a bonnet and holding a lamb #a lamb which on closer inspection is rigid and plastic #and yet it's still quite good spirited: it's making fun of that sort of surface-level fixation but at the same time is quite affectionate #also james callis is there doing possibly the Biggest Acting I've ever seen him do and you know what a high bar that is #the director basically let james callis and jennifer coolidge loose in a country house and didn't reign them in #a good time!

nvm i’ve said too much #unknowme
