"The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" trailer gives a glimpse of its gay aunts

I will definitely be seeing this one, I like the versatility of her character. Especially in the gay community, a person can lead many different lives, even at once. Very relevant for me.

Let's get one thing straight, I'm not.

is absolutely amazing.  I will definitely try and catch this in the theaters!

...oooh!  Monica Bellucci?  8)  ...I may have an eye-gasm!

Pippa Lee is one of my favourite books of all time - I read it over summer and literally could not put it down!! It is so so good. I reckon the movie will do it justice too since Miller is directing too I believe?

Anyone else find this book incredible?

I read it last fall, knowing that Miller had written the novel with the intention of turning into a movie. The novel definitely plays out that way, and I liked it quite a bit. However, the trailer gives the movie a bit of a saccharine tone that the book didn't have, or maybe that I just didn't tap into in my interpretation of the book. Maybe it's the voiceover, the way the credits were advertised at the end, or that freaking generic peppy song, but I really hope that kind of tone isn't carried throughout the whole movie. The whole thing seems packaged to be a feel-good read-sell to middle-aged women who empathize with Pippa, like it's positioning having a nervous breakdown and cheating on your spouse as an uplifting thing that fifty-somethings can do to rekindle their youth. This isn't Calendar Girls.

In terms of Julianne Moore's role, her character in the book was poised more as the bad-girl girlfriend of Pippa's straightlaced yet gay aunt. That part of the novel was set in the seventies, thus the hair. It might not have even been a stereotype yet - just what was in fashion.

The book was really good, and I'm just hoping that the dark adventure of Pippa's youth and the quiet marital discomfort of her fifties aren't both bathed in a pink and white coat of uplifting inspiration. Then again, it's Rebecca Miller's book and Rebecca Miller's screenplay and Rebecca Miller's movie, so I'll assume she knows what to do with it. 

If you didn't have Farrah hair then, you went with something like that. So period piece hair, not necessarily stereotype hair. Heh. The shirt was a dead giveaway too. 

And I second being excited to see Winona in something again! That's what got my attention.

I saw this a few days ago. It is quite an interesting film and of course the actors are really great. The story is interesting. The lesbian content is not central but I still quite liked it!

yeah, absolutely!!

i can't wait to see this movie.

;D

always luv lesbian'z scenez..

hahaha

Great to see her, she is one of my favourites.  And Winona and Robyn (would have been great to watch together).

Both of them are gorgeous.  Hoping to get the book shipped soon.only in this part of the world book packages tend to take a hike :-(

... Wiki is telling me that this has already been released in the UK in July. Is that right does anyone know? Because I have no recollection of it being advertised, I would have so gone to see it! Frustrating if it has alredy been released, I want to see it!!

really good and i think i remember seeing this at target when i went into the book section but never thought anything of it..so i have to read this, time travelers wife, lovely bones, and so much more..i like that this cast is diverse..i loved the old man ahah i forgot his name..but he was hilarious in little miss sunshine lol 

"what do u get with two cheaters date each other?"

ans: the only conclusion i have come to is one of them will screw the other over..

I love how Julianne Moore doesn't care how she looks, and just acts a role!! 

I really injoyed the book, its a light fun read, it brings up a few important issues and, I thought, handled them well without dragging the book down into either a depressing state or something or a lecture. It was definatly the kind of book that you would read on a train or while on holiday, that would make you think about some issues, although for me, givin the fact that I read an average of 3 books a week, it doesn't make you think to long. I thought the aunts were both delt with pretty well (from what I remeber, I've read some 150-170 books in the intram!!) and I will definatly be going to see the film, although the perm Blake Lively was sporting in a couple of the shots was NOT good!!! haha

and despite having no money, pre ordered the DVD on Amazon (UK) at the weekend. Eep.
