Would You Rather...?


A) Watch Annette Bening murder her children?
B) Watch Charlotte Gainsbourg mutilate herself and possibly Willem Dafoe while grieving her dead child?

It's a cheery choice for this Wednesday morning. Good morning!

Sadly option A, which is like the only thing I've been thinking about, is not open to me. Annette Bening playing baby-killing Medea (just the thought of it makes me all tingly... er... The Bening in a juicy ancient tragedy not the killing part, obvs) is only available on stage in California. Go West East Mrs. Beatty, Go East! So this morning I'm doing option B at the New York Film Festival press screening of Von Trier's latest provocation / prank (?) Antichrist.

This is probably not the best first day out plan whilst recovering from the worst flu ever, but it will have to do.

What's your day looking like and which options await you?
