"Love is good. Love is...good."

[3pipeproblem]

I just got back from Intolerable Cruelty. It was incredible! First of all, George Clooney, who I can usually take or leave, was very very good. Everyone was, in fact. And Miles...as evidenced by my Alan Shore (and Billy Flynn) obsession, I'm a sucker for cynical, arrogant lawyers. And he was literate, too!

The movie was just full of great Coen brothers moments. There's this whole scene in the beginning where a woman claims she was her husband's sex slave and that he built an "Infiltrator" out of the vacuum cleaner. She's all "I couldn't use the vacuum for a month!" While Miles is bickering with his partner in the background about why he feels so bored. It's just...wow. The movie is great. There's this whole thing with an inhaler and a gun and...go see it. Really. It's what all romantic comedies should be. They even managed to pull off Miles' big speech without getting sappy (and yes, it involves the line, "Love is good.") And George Clooney wears a kilt!

So, yeah. Go see it. I want to write fic, but the movie was so perfect I dunno if I can. It made me really happy, though.

Let me guess, will there be Intolerable Cruelty fic now? If so, even though I am probably not going to see the movie, I will read it.

Awww, I'm flattered. And yes, I'll probably give in and write some, although it won't be slash, because Miles is just one of those unslashable characters.
