OH. MY. GOODNESS. New favorite, kiddos. New freaking favorite.
I don't know how many of you watched the Golden Globes, but I was that silly girl who predicted The Social Network would win everything because it was the only one of the heavy hitters I had seen, and, let's be honest, Jesse Eisenberg rocked my facebook stalking socks off. And I was right a few times. But last night, I saw The King's Speech, and now I want to write heated, poop-smeared letters to the Hollywood Foreign Press for not falling at the feet of its movie supremacy. Movies do not make me cry unless they involve dead/sick/injured/otherwise unloved animals, but this film had me choked up more than once. Okay, I'm a little bit of a sucker for historical dramas (Apollo 13, anyone? I'm your girl.), but when you throw two actors like Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush into pre-war Britain and watch their characters clamor for dignity in the wake of Nazi Germany, I'm gonna need a few tissues. Oh, and it's also hysterical.
Just please go see this movie. Don't make me ask twice.
