Beautiful!
That picture of Maggie Smith and Emma Thompson is so funny I am laughing and crying. They are both so IN that moment, arent they??
I love seeing Emma T in screwy comic roles, she is soooo funny, and here a wonderful clown to Maggie Smith's straight man. And Smith must know how funny she is when she is NOT funny. Like her character in A Room with A view. It makes me howl with laughter.
And her in Gosford Park!! All told she probably has 20 lines in that movie but she hits a home run on every one. Bob Balaban going on and on at the dinner table about his movie and he says, "Oh, but I don't want to spoil the ending for you ..." and she says, "Don't worry, none of us will ever see it." Like, she is SO RUDE but she says it with total guileless honesty ... HILARIOUS!!
She is wicked in Gosford Park - I'd forgotten about that!
Emma Thompson played the Fool in King Lear onstage back in her early career and it's a performance I would just LOVE to have seen. She's got the whole Monty Python improv background but also this Shakespeare thing - the pictures of her in the role are extraordinary.
