I haven't seen Hitchhikers yet, but I'm dying to. I DID see Stage Beauty and just loved it. I saw it at Blockbastard and thought, Billy Crudup as a cross dresser? You're kidding right? This I've got to see.

Not only is it an actor's movie (I'm not one, but since I know YOU, I can usually see their p.o.v.), its also a historian's movie. And actually my favorite part is what it says about sexual identity. What is feminine? What is masculine? How do you define those? And in the end, it was not a question of whether it should be a man or a woman as Desdemona, it was that it should be acted as reality, not as some posed scene with animated set dressing.

My other new favorite is the Grudge. Did you see that?
