[meme] trivial

[01] -- Look up TEN of your favorite movies on IMDB.
[02] -- Click the "trivia" link in the sidebar.
[03] -- Post a fun and random bit of trivia from each film.
[04] -- Tag five people!



1. The Hours: Nicole Kidman loved wearing the prosthetic nose and wore it in private too, mainly as she was undergoing a divorce from Tom Cruise at the time and was attracting a lot of paparazzi interest. Much to her delight, by wearing her fake nose out and about, she found she could easily evade the paparazzi as they didn't recognize her. [seriously, HOW AWESOME.]

2. Clueless: The baseball hat that Josh (Paul Rudd) wears is a KU hat for Kansas University. Paul Rudd is from Kansas and graduated from Shawnee Mission West High School. [New hometown, REPRESENT.]

3. Notes on a Scandal: When Barbara has had her meeting with the headmaster at which he reveals what he knows about her stalking of Jennifer Dodd, she throws up in a school toilet. In the background, on the wall, is written the graffiti: "Babs Covett = nasty old lezza. I want to lick her mangy twat."

4. Harold and Maude: Elton John was considered for the part of Harold.

5. Gone with the Wind: Margaret Mitchell's first choice to play Rhett Butler was Basil Rathbone. [There's lots of awesome trivia, most of it involving Mitchell, but the spit-take of Rhett=Holmes is too awesome to pass up.]




UM. I could only think of five favorite movies. But anyone who actually sees movies is welcome to steal the meme.

You know, I was secretly disappointed when Sheba and Barbara didn't end up doing it.

Normally I don't like Judi Dench, but she was pretty goddamn awesome. Figures it'd be the one time she didn't get an Oscar nom.

I am convinced that the girl Barbara chats with in the last scene is TOTALLY INTO her and will be her one true love and marry her and have insanely hot but also vv prim sex with her forever and ever.

Um.

Not gonna lie, I've been in love with Judi Dench since I was like 12.

Yep, that would be what sold me. Forever. (In 1992 I was 7.)

*laughs* you're awesome.

I...can't remember why I don't like her. It's like the Claire Danes thing - now it's just HABIT.
