"the devil wears prada"

i'm confused about what happens at the end -- does she take the new job or does she go off with her bf to boston? it seems like she takes the job, but that leaves the bf situation awkwardly unresolved.

note that i haven't seen the movie, and i probably won't because i've heard from several sources how poor a grasp of fashion design it has.

i hope that's coherent.

This might be my favorite Stanley Tucci performance. That moment, having champagne with Anne Hathaway, when he can't contain his enthusiasm over the possibility that he might leave Miranda's clutches, is the best thing he's ever done.

No one's singled out Emily Post's acidulous coworker, though.

In fact, Tucci, Streep, and Post give three of the best performances I've seen this year (Anne Hathaway and the terrible grunge-lite boyfriend get hopeless roles, but Hathaway is turning into a rather smart actress, and she always managed to give a line an unusual spin).

Actor STANLEY TUCCI couldn't keep his hands off co-star ANNE HATHAWAY on the set of new fashion comedy THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA - because he was fascinated with her breasts.
The actress reveals she had to eventually rebuke her co-star
when he kept elbowing her in the chest, because she felt it was inappropriate, and it hurt.
She explains, "There was this one day where he kept elbowing me in the breast. He wasn't doing it to be like a dirty old man, but if we were doing a scene or I was just crossing to get to my mark (on the set) he would just smack me in my boob and elbow me.
"If you're a girl you know that hurts. So, after about the fourth time, I finally turned to him and said, 'Stanley can you please stay away from my t**s?' "Stanley got really flustered and he said, 'What do you expect, you're flinging those melons around like it's harvest season!'"

yess. i saw him with the bf at circle in the square.

cute movie

It was terrible. I like the combative Ath above, and I hated the ghastly nasty aggressive Streep speech about how fashion is actually important for all of us. Thank god this pile of bs is all in the longago past now.

do you dress well?

ghastly, nasty, aggressive, Streep, speech

this is fun but kind of... self-parodic. the scene where they queer-eye hathaway and it's like the end of 'grease' or some shit. it's like, really? the ultimate hot girl before/hot girl after bit.

yeah it's totally disney. but she was kind of perfect in the part.

she and emily blunt are certainly keeping me watching tbh.

so jealous of you watching this right now! i just love how hathaway's eyes are so big and innocent, she looks like a beautiful deer

oh i thought this was about the horrible band. i have friends who love them and it makes me sad

great movie

boy that adam grenier is some actor.

lol adrian. he's all look, i'm a cute guy, see??

isn't he?

i've seen my first 2 hathaway movies in the last month. she can act, rite?

ya he totally is. he lives in my hood. i think she's a pretty awesome actress! seems really comfortable onscreen.

the writer in this is a fucking dick and he looks like a tweaker also.

he's actually a former tv psyhchic

lol 4 lyfe

Will absolutely see the sequel, out soon; guaranteed to be the worst-dressed person in the theatre.

shocked no revive!

Anyway, as many highs and lows as the first. Streep, Tucci, and Blunt are terrific, Hathaway less so -- she plays Andy like Andy and Hathaway haven't learned a thing about the world and acting, respectively, in 20 years.

rewatched the first one this week, I had forgotten everything about it other than the night scene in Paris for some reason. Will watch this this weekend.

amazing how ghastly posts like this weren't flagged in 2009

I can't recall if 2009 was in the FP or SB era. Thank god this is all in the long ago past now.

I enjoyed this. Correct, not as good as the first one, but not a huge dip in quality. I'm an unapologetic Hathaway fan and I thought she was great in it.

i loved justin theroux's hammy seth rogen-esque character

my basic tier for this - did the tucci deliver?

by my grade, a smashing sucksess!

This is just very fucking bad isn’t it? I’m not sure I even got up to whelmed at any point, just very derivative and tired, I swear to God I groaned out loud when I realised Andy is wearing a torn up version of the CERULEAN BLUE SWEATER HAHA ISN’T IT FUNNY IT’S A REFERENCE JUST FOR YOU EXCEPT NO IT ISN’T IT’S A METAPHOR FOR THE WHOLE SORRY SLOPFEST WALKING AROUND IN THE BONES OF THE SUPERIOR ORIGINAL HAHA FUCK OFF

xp I did not even realize that was Justin Theroux

I loved how Theroux actually looked sort of repellent for the first time ever… and then I found out he had work done & that is his face now? Lol sob. (I think it’s the same thing that happened to Julian McMahon)

anyway this was ok?
It wasn’t good. If anything it’s a pretty bummertown summation of the state of magazine publishing … but like, why.
it wasn’t very fun or funny or fashiony & the characters were so sanded down from their original iterations

A thin gruel that I guess was edible & inoffensive

I've been wanting to see this since it opened, but every day I check the seating at the London Cineplex and it's almost full, even in the early afternoon. I'd rather wait till audiences thin out.

But in Stratford this afternoon, a near-empty theatre (no reclining seats, though)...Glad I saw it. Biggest complaint for me was two guys I've liked a lot in the past: B.J. Ryan in The Office and Justin Theroux in The Leftovers. The first seemed miscast, the second just bad. (Guessing that's the third Elon Musk I've seen at the movies--getting tiresome, and A.I. as an existential threat will likely be another exhausted movie topic before long.) All the principals were fine, and I was--it's true--even moved by a couple of scenes. (Streep/Tucci's moment especially.) The campiest line in the film was the contractor complimenting Anne Hathaway on her four-part piece on the federal reserve; I almost laughed out loud. I evidently missed Rory Mcllroy.

B.J. Ryan in The Office

...who once had back-to-back 30-save seasons but, as far as I know, never appeared in The Office. That would be B.J. Novak.

(For the sake of symmetry, wish I'd also said Justin Morneau in The Leftovers.)

i would watch any DWP spinoff if all i was promised was that it has the Tucci's and the Theroux's characters

Forgot to mention something I really liked: Miranda's assistant sitting next to her in staff meetings and making sure she doesn't say anything impolitic. As presented in the film, literally a Miranda whisperer.
