De-Lovely

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Is anyone else as excited about this as I am? I am a huge nerd, so I would understand if I am the only one.

It's a movie about the life and music of Cole Porter, starring Kevin Kline as Cole and Ashley (Mike's sweetie!) Judd as his wife Linda. There are a lot of contemporary artists singing Porter's songs in the movie.

Robbie Williams - "It's De-lovely"

Elvis Costello - "Let's Misbehave" (C-girl's future ex-husband!)

Alanis Morissette - "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love"

Sheryl Crow - "Begin the Beguine"

Mick Hucknall - "I Love You" (I adore his voice)

Natalie Cole - "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye"

Diana Krall - "Just One of Those Things"

Who writes lyrics like this anymore? Sigh...

So In Love

Strange dear, but true dear,

When I'm close to you, dear,

The stars fill the sky,

So in love with you am I.

Even without you,

My arms fold about you,

You know darling why,

So in love with you am I.

In love with the night mysterious,

The night when you first were there,

In love with my joy delirious,

When I knew that you could care,

So taunt me, and hurt me,

Deceive me, desert me,

I'm yours, till I die.....

So in love.... So in love....

So in love with you, my love... am I....

Future EX-husband? E.C. does get DE-vorced alot.

Time magazine get De-Lovely a bad review, but, to quote another cinematic masterpiece, Big Daddy: "most critics are cynical a--holes."

Cole Porter was from my great home state of Indiana.

I probably won't get to see De-Lovely till it's out on DVD. I live in a town that keeps Pirates of the Carribean for a month and a half, but would never get a movie about a homosexual classic song writer.

Ever hear U2's remake of "Night and Day" by Porter? It's on one of those "Red, Hot, and Blue" tribute CDs for Aids research. An amazing song. Sinatra also redid the song but the U2 version is way better than his and I love Sinatra.
