Watching The Dressmaker for the first time, so there will be spoilers
I don't know what's weirder, watching Kate Winslet speak with an Aussie accent or watching her smoke. But Lenny, the lung cancer!
Kate even says "hm" like an Aussie, but you can tell who the real ones are
Liam looks identical to Chris
Wouldn't be an Australian film without Shane Jacobson. I met him at Rocky Horror, he was very kind, stopped someone from cutting in front of me for autographs
Say what you want about the cop-type guy, he matched his hat and skirt to his uniform top and tie very well
Nearly bit right through my finger in the footy scene
Thought she was nude but the black dress and the decolletage is nice
I don't get how changing her dress made the opposite team get distracted but alright
Pot brownies!
I've seen the Liam Hemsworth stripping scene in every single trailer. Gotta give the viewers something to look forward to
The actor that plays Gertrude's mum would make a great Emily Weiss
"Give it! Give it!" Kate, your Elena Vernham is showing
Same with "Teddy, look." and "No no no no no d-don't!" and "Those vile idiots, I invited them up here." and "God, she must have broken something when she fell." and "But... she's in pain!" and "She would've hated it, she would've hated this one!"
Also the "But... she's in pain!" delivery is me when my mum calls Elena crazy
Love that Teddy finds out that Myrtle's technically responsible for a boy's death and responds by making out with her
Cracked up laughing at Chancellor Elena Vernham's face and voice saying, "It's Superman!"
"I AM NO LONGER CURSED!"
Oh no, she's gonna get Titanic flashbacks, they're on a boat and Teddy's gone
"So, she is cursed." - my dad
Kate's got one panicked sobbing voice but it's a good one
Ay there's those hymn number things that were in Reefer Madness (2005), but unlike in Reefer Madness, none of the hymn numbers are 420
That's such an Elena mourning outfit
Ooh I reckon that extra's in Hairspray (2007) They just call her up whenever they need a background character for a film set in the 1950s-1960s
"10 shillings." "12 shillings." Makes me think of "5 galleons." "I'm your brother!" "Ten galleons."
"At least you've got Una." Extra in front right's reaction is hilarious and perfect. Should've got a raise for that
Seeing Myrtle asleep is making me think of that one ep of The Regime
Makeup guys did a good job, very realistic exhausted, red-eyes-from-crying look
Kate makes "Thank you, Trudy." sound like "Go fuck yourself, Trudy."
Now Kate looks like Elena in ep 6
The pot brownies are back!
Had to die right in the middle of the town for the perfect shot (as in the way the scene's set, there's no bullet)
Myrtle being sad and drunk is such a mood, so's her outfit
HAHA I have to gif that scene for Mae
The way she reads the letter 😂 "Winyerp... drama club..." She's so hangover, I love her so much, I'll hold her hair back if she vomits. I'll just step right through the TV screen. I wrote a song about a similar thing
And I have to gif THIS scene for Mae
"Marigold, this is very wrong!" "Yes... But I'm unstable."
The contrast between the pastel tiles and his dark blood is so pretty
Shane looks so good in Rocco makeup, with his beard and everything
Ah there's the clip that's in the trailer, editors did a good job spoiling the twist ending
"Where are you going, miss?" Home? "Paris." (disappointed voice) Aw
"You never met the rubbish." is a great final line

I'm getting closer (kind of)
I've been practicing The Stuff and The Stuff Reprise with my singing teacher and these are the highlights so far:
The fact that my singing teacher got the shock humour on first watch and absolutely loved it
She pointed out some interesting details that I probably noticed subconsciously but wasn't fully aware of. Like how The Stuff relies on the audience knowing that it's intended as a joke, because it's not delivered as a joke, it's delivered dead serious, which may have contributed to why Reefer Madness wasn't that successful, people just didn't get the comedy. How Mae switching from soft, smooth, head voice to twangy full belt at random points in the song shows how unhinged she is
"I don't sound like her, am I doing something wrong? Does it sound bad?" "No, you sound fine. You sound normal." "Oh that's what's wrong with it, I sound normal!"
Spent about five minutes of our session just practicing saying "it's the sstUFff"
My teacher: *watching Mae bludgeon Jack to death with a garden hoe* Isn't it so empowering to see women get their revenge?
My teacher: *as Mae pulls out Jack's heart* How on earth did you find this movie?
I explained to her what shadowcasting is. She thought that was really cool. "You should do that! We'll get you her full costume and you can act it out in front of her. It'd be even better 'cause you can sing it as well."
She was just as disappointed as I was to find out that most musical versions of The Stuff Reprise don't do the fake blood. I told to her my idea of using a blood squib and she thought we should use as much fake blood as possible, even more than the movie 'cause it'd be hilarious
