A friend, who will remain nameless just in case the pirated dvd police are reading this blog, told us she couldn't get this movie to play in English on her dvd player. Even though it's set in England, the characters insisted on speaking Spanish. How frustrating for her.
This is a movie we wanted to see: we've been big Colin Firth fans beginning with Apartment Zero many years ago (and despite the unfortunate Mamma Mia). So we invited our friend over to see if it would work on our machine. El sr J, very clever at technology, figured out how to do it. So the three of us watched it, made some snarky comments about the royals, and drank some tea, too. Every once in awhile "Property of Weinstein Bros.--do not copy" was displayed across the top of the screen. At a cost of 20 pesos, this "do not copy"copy is probably a better bargain than renting from Blockbusters (pay for the bus to get there and back, pay the rental fee, pay the late fee when you forget the due date). Bloody illegal, of course. Our friend has a lot more movies. We have Black Swan for tonight. Should we feel guilty?
