Woes and Laments of an English Degree

I'm completely pumped about a new film coming out, Dorian Gray, which is an adaptation of the Oscar Wilde novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. Also more reason to be pumped about it, Colin Firth (dreamy) and Ben Barnes (who also plays Prince/King Caspian in the films...also dreamy) are starring in it and it looks phenomenal.

The ONLY downside to this film?

The fact that it won't be released in the US!!

Bah!!

I blame the American public school system for not teaching about more British literature. (I suppose I really can't blame them...but Caitlin - you better have some Brit Lit in those lesson plans of yours! lol).

I just know for a fact that if this movie were to be released in the US...American audiences wouldn't really get it.

So yesterday I spend a good chunk of my time at Borders reading the Oscar Wilde tale, and you know what? It's simply marvelous!! It's so witty and unbelievably good that when I get $7.95 to spare, I'm going to buy it! I got about a fourth of the way through the book before I realized I should probably leave the store.

But in true Cassie blog fashion, here's the trailer for the film. I REALLY want to see it.



Also...I move into my new apartment TOMORROW!!! Too excited!!!
