bellatrix wearing potter glasses O_O

helena makes an awesome rosemary! not sure about the guy playing gordon, though. but seeing as this is one of my favorite books, i'm going to keep watching and give him the benefit of the doubt.

Can people not hate on Kate Winslet? Let's just talk about how amazing Helena Bonham Carter is, k.

[LucyLovettLestrange]

@xitsCASS I wasn't hating her or anything. But sure ;) ( I hope you're not mad or anything, didn't mean to offensive) This was how I became a HBC fan and begging your pardon if you like Kate Winslet. *blushes*

[mickeyprat]

I think Orwell would have hated this. But he didn't much like the book either (not that the two are REMOTELY similar in tone or atmosphere).

If you want to see Richard E Grant playing essentially the same character but with a far better script you're better off watching Withnail & I...

[LucyLovettLestrange]

Have any of you seen Enigma? ( It's a Kate Winslet film) HBC also kind of looks like Hester from Enigma

[SweeneyToddKicksAss]

@LucyLovettLestrange KATE WIINSLET couldn't suck HBC's saggy tits for £1000,1000,1000,000 

[LucyLovettLestrange]

@SweeneyToddKicksAss I used to like Kate Winslet but she quickly lost my respect because she deliberately flaunted her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio by doing Revolutionary Road. HBC works with Johnny Depp all the time but doesn't take it for granted. I take it you don't like Kate Winslet?

[SweeneyToddKicksAss]

@LucyLovettLestrange AWKWAAAAARD

[LucyLovettLestrange]

@SweeneyToddKicksAss I'm not angry at you. I was just asking. KW lost my respect by deliberatly flaunting her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio by doing Revolutionary Road. I love HBC because she doesnt take working with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton for granted.

[SweeneyToddKicksAss]

@LucyLovettLestrange HBC does not take your opinion seriously, HBC is a non-sequitor. I am Funnybot.

[LucyLovettLestrange]

@SweeneyToddKicksAss HBC is great and thanks for all of the HBC movie uploads! ;)

[SweeneyToddKicksAss]

@LucyLovettLestrange No problem non-sequitor.

[jattymoans]

Reading this book now

[Bidia280795]

I literally love you for uploading so many great Helena movies! :L

[SweeneyToddKicksAss]

@Bidia280795 I love you too, its like Jesus love. not real love

[neyann]

"Helenaists" Now, that cracked me up. As a matter of fact, I might get a tshirt saying this - it's not too obvious yet charming and funny :-) thx for the upload!

[TheSnowballEarth]

Just under a few minutes left to wish a Happy Birthday to George Orwell, not that he can acknowledge such things. A neat film. Been a REG fan since "Withnail & I."

[Zimnyification]

I loved this book, along with all of Orwell's works. I'm glad to see the humor is preserved in this movie, and it's already shaping up to be a better rendition to a film production than the film travesty that was 1984.

[redheaddolly]

She's CUTISH with those eyeglasses!

[missinesamaro]

Long live George Orwell!!

[strepsil08]

What the fuck is this pile of wank? Keep The Aspidistra flying is a story about social alienation and personal despair, not a fucking love story.

[Zimnyification]

@strepsil08 Pile of wank? Hahaha, Brit vernacular.

This is true, and the end of the book was a little cheesy for me. Didn't quite fit with the book or the traditional Orwell ending (but damn does that man know what sentence to put at the end of a book.) By the way, have you read Coming Up for Air?

[angerbell3]

thank you for posting this!

[1freshman15]

haha the Bovex thing made me laugh

[inkstersco]

Gordon's office looks very postmodern

[OscillateWilde]

I like the Gordan Comstock would lives in my head. Not this cunt.

[csi3willows]

I'm a new Helena fan and I just keep going down her filmography and watching movie after movie and finding that many are on youtube...it's been a week long marathon of Helena and possibly every single British actor/actress to grace the screen...thanks for loading all these

[SweeneyToddKicksAss]

No problem :) and good luck with your marathon. I hope you can tick some films off the list just by watching my uploads lol.

[koln1996]

She's simply wonderful in a little-known film called "Where Angels Fear to Tread" (1991) with Helen Mirren, Judy Davis, and Rupert Graves ("A Room with a View")!!!

Don't miss it!!!

[singer1394]

@csi3willows Same haha ..except i was always a fan xD

[AlbertPaysonTerhune]

@csi3willows Unless I am mistaken, Helena is Jo Grimond's granddaughter and has other interesting connections as well.

[AlbertPaysonTerhune]

@csi3willows Helena is a great-granddaughter of Asquith and a relative of Jo Grimond. But I still have never liked her. She was good as that tart in the Forster novel's film version though....give me a moment, I'll think of it. Howard's End.

[SexKitten93]

@AlbertPaysonTerhune Then why did you watch this then?

[irinka94]

@csi3willows exactly!as if there was some fairy godmother on youtube whose work was to upload helena's movies!!!

[Linalichan]

wow I've been looking all over for this. Thank you so much!

[neil73]

Excellent film, almost as good as the book.

Thanks for posting!

[Liane3181]

Where can I find this music for piano?

[Liane3181]

I love this film's music, but I think the film is so and so!

[Radgryd]

LOL Helena reminds me of her Sweet Revenge role as disguised Secretary XD

[SweeneyToddKicksAss]

xD I know right. BOVEX ahaha

[LucyLovettLestrange]

@Radgryd  Yeah she was great in Sweet Revenge and I do see that in her in this film as well! ;)

[northanortha]

Question: Why, if he has only just this minute quit his job, does he not have any money to pay for tea?

[SweeneyToddKicksAss]

I think he gets his sister to pay for it.

[northanortha]

@SweeneyToddKicksAss

But why can't he afford it? He just quite that day, and should still have his latest wage.

[sugarkaneandchloe]

Beause this is a crap film version that bears very little resemblance to the book :(

[zoowijoowi]
