Little Children.<BR/><BR/>Not nearly as exciting a plot as Children of Men (if the trailer--Clive Owen, yum--is any indication). It's more of a character driven thing about adultery and intolerance and other ugly things.

Sounds very interesting. <BR/><BR/>I like the fact that romance novels seem to be branching out and breaking the rules. More publishers are taking chances on different styles and settings. I might actually be able to find a place for my erotic/comedy about a genie. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12777733587200293442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-1162407604605351542006-11-01T14:00:00.000-05:002006-11-01T14:00:00.000-05:00Yes, you have to know the rules and deliberately b...Yes, you have to know the rules and deliberately break them for effect... when you're sure the effect of breaking the rule is stronger than not breaking it.<BR/><BR/>Re: Kate Winslett...<BR/><BR/>She's nude a lot... and they didn't try to make her look all perfect either... Not that she isn't gorgeous, but she had bumps on her skin and stuff like that, that they normally fix with lighting or whatever in Hollywood movies.<BR/><BR/>Part of the story is Kate Winslet's character is supposed to be plain compared to Patrick Wilson's character and his wife... Lucky they cast Jennifer Connelly for that one... And she did always look perfect.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-1162404734153872862006-11-01T13:12:00.000-05:002006-11-01T13:12:00.000-05:00Good post Maureen -- I've been thinking alot about...Good post Maureen -- I've been thinking alot about rules too - and I think they give us some kind of framework when we're beginning but at some point the task has to be to break some of those rules. I think any rule can be broken as long as you do it right. Anything works if it's good.<BR/><BR/>how was the kate winslet nude scene?Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.com
