I sit here in the thunder, the green on the grey

Me: I should rewatch Sense and Sensibility (1995). It might pair illuminatingly with Persuasion (1995); I haven't seen it in nine years and I've never written about it; I saw it for the first time in 1996 with someone who didn't like it. That was a point in my life when I saw very few movies and did not think critically about them if I did. Those can be interesting to revisit.

*half an hour of movie later*

My critical faculties: FUCK, Alan Rickman is BEAUTIFUL.

Ladies and gentlepeople, that may be the review.

So...ages ago, I was complaining that Alan Rickman only ever gets cast in roles where he's gloomy and never gets to smile,a and there should be more movies where he gets to smile!

The friend I was talking to googled "alan rickman smile" and we discovered that (unsurprisingly) I was not the first to think of this -- or, at least, there were a couple of YouTube videos that were montages of Alan RIckman smiling. A quick check shows they're still there.

(Punchline: this trick does not work for finding montages of Paul Gross acting with his tongue, though goodness knows someone must have made some.)

I'm sure it's on YouTube somewhere, but when your search keywords include "gross" and "tongue"... :>
