"A Single Man" (beware spoilers)

--- Quote from: Kerry on May 17, 2010, 01:48:14 am ---Just finished reading "A Single Man" and was interested to read Christopher Isherwood's description of Kenny:
"Kenny Potter sits in the front row because he's what's nowadays called crazy, meaning only that he tends to do the opposite of what most people do; not on principle, however, and certainly not out of aggressiveness. Probably he's too vague to notice the manners and customs of the tribe, and too lazy to follow them, anyway. He is a tall skinny boy with very broad stooped shoulders, gold-red hair, a small head, small bright blue eyes. He would be conventionally handsome if he didn't have a beaky nose; but it is a nice one, a large humorous organ."
Fey, delicate, effete, doe-eyed, blow-dried? I think not. :-\
And I could find no reference to fluffy sweaters. ::)

Well, Jamie Bell certainly would fit that description. I understand why he was the first choice.
Front-Ranger:
I'm looking forward to seeing Jamie Bell in The Eagle! He's been away from the big screen too long.

I was very happy for Colin Firth's Oscar last night for "The King's Speech".
He very graciously thanked Tom Ford.

It was a lovely speech, pun intended. ;D

I think it will be a while before Netflix gets their copy of A Single Man back from me. I watched it again last night and enjoyed looking for things I knew about this time around.
The scenes with Jim, especially the one where they meet, is just so sweet and understated.
