Coetzee's Disgrace has been filmed by Steve Jacobs, and is screened in Norway now. With Malkovich as Lurie, the leading role. Malkovich as Lurie! I'm doing a very fangirly squee. This appears to be a good review, at least they've grasped much of the book.

Mamma Mia

Mother got Mamma Mia on DVD, and we just saw it. I don't get the craze. It's sweet enough, I suppose. And incredibly embarassing. Is it a parody of a musical? The moves, the dancing is so horrid it has to be. Nostalgia, in part. Thinking "oh, well, I could have had that, hadn't I been sensible and left it behind". It's cheerful, and I suppose a pepper-up for miserable hosue-wives. And people we think of as stars, superhuman, almost, deign to sing as badly as we do. Is that it?

I will admit that I found an ABBA CD and am happily mouthing along (people are present, and I don't embarass myself singing as readily as Brosnan).
