Jan. 23rd, 2022 10:45 amI had been wanting to see Silent Night, the most recent film featuring Keira Lovely Knightley.(Though she also has a several-second cameo in Greed if anyone needs a quick fix.) I'd hoped to see it in the cinema but it didn't come to Edinburgh, so when I found out it was online rental, I chose it for Triv Group Film Night. Initially we'd planned to do it a bit closer to Christmas so the thematics also made sense. I had been a bit confused, to be honest, why it wasn't wider release, and more of a push for a Christmas film released around Christmas.
( It became clear. (Fake edit: I am worried that people might read this cut text and think it was clear because KLK wasn't radiantly wonderful in it. She was. That was not the reason.) )
In nicer Christmas media news I just watched the Only Connect "Cold" special and loved Victoria Coren Mitchell's snowflake outfit. I have enjoyed all of her outfits this year and learning that they were a tribute to Moira Rose off of Schitt's Creek only increases that. Like many people I had assumed that they were a Taskmaster thing but I am delighted to find that it's just her own desires. She was exactly what I'd hoped on Taskmaster. I think less of Greg Davies (whom I love) for not giving her more marks for her excellent joke prize items.
On the end of year meme which I regret seeming to have stopped, there was a question about how one's style has changed/what clothing trends you embraced or something like that, which was traditionally answered by most people I knew with a handwave about no longer having to be in thrall to fashion, or having found one's style years ago. Well for absolute years I have resisted anything akin to tucking things in, for a variety of reasons including still resenting having to tuck a shirt in at school, disliking the feel of it and often not liking the way it looks with larger breasts and a generous stomach - but yesterday for the first time I think ever I put on a new top that I felt was slightly too long, thought "why not try it" and essayed a sort of French tuck and enjoyed what I saw. So even if I never do it again that's a new trick for this old dog.
