Hey you are totally allowed to tiptoe around whatever you would like honey! I was a bit like that when I first saw it, but then I wrote a paper on it, and saw it 6 times in 4 days, and it kind of lost most of its power.

I still love it so much though.

Thank you for reading despite trepidation. And for saying that I captured their voices. As I'm sure you can imagine, that was my biggest goal :)

6 times in 4 days! Whoa, yeah, I can imagine that would have some kind of desensitising factor about it! :-)

Yes...the voices. Even though it is so long since I saw the movie, I can still hear their voices. So...haunting. Yes, you did bloody awesomely, River.

Oh my, I just remembered that was the year that Geena and Susan were up against Jodie in the Oscars. And as much as I admire Jodie, I really wanted either Geena or Susan to win.

Geena and Susan totally deserved to win for that.

They are so lovely about T&L on the commentary on the dvd. Geena recalls Brad coming in to audition for his role and she was begging them to pick Brad cos he was so hot.

Geena, you sauce-pot you! LOL!

Tell me, was there ever an alternative ending?* And is it on the DVD?

*as heartbreaking as it was, I'm glad it was the ending for the sheer force of emotion it elicited.

As far as I can remember from the commentary, there was never an alternative ending, beyond what the studio suggested. they were promptly told to fuck right off.

The kiss was susan and geena's idea.

Ridley Scott thought it would be inappropriate, but they dissagreed and won. It was, of course, perfect.

must watch the commentaries again actually. So good.

I saw it on a plane once and they cut out the rape scene. So Harlan picks Thelma up, puts her on the car, turns around and suddenly Thelma is standing next to Louise, and Louise shoots him in the chest. for no apparent reason. Talk about ruining the film! I was HORRIFIED.

God. Damn. They should only show movies that do not "need" editing on planes. If that just leaves kiddie flicks, then so be it. grr.
