Imagine Me and You (former title: Click)

I just watched IMAY and I loved it. But did it REALLY get an R rating in the US? I'm a bit surprised (not much though, sorry), because here in Finland it got the lowest possible rating, an S, which is the same as MPAA G.

 But yeah, Imagine Me and You rocked, it was so sweet.

It's in parts but it's an awesome movie

=]

this movie has a certain message and thats very important..

i think thats why i love it so much..:D

mhuaaaa

I finally just saw Imagine Me And You, and I just love it. It has to be one of my favourite lesbian themed movies, if not one of my favourite movies in general! I loved it so much! Awesome acting, great soundtrack and a really believable love story between Rachel and Luce!

i just love this movie. its so cute and just genuinely about love between two ppl. luce and rachel make such a cute couple. although you do kinda feel bad for heck and i wish the ending would have gave us more than just luce and rachel sitting on a bench but oh well...one of my fav movies.

Sounds interesting, thanks very much for the info!

I like Lena Headey, who from the sound of it will be playing Piper Perabo's love interest.... she's done a couple of lesbian(ish) roles now, I think: she was Sally in 'Mrs. Dalloway' (who has a sort-of romance with Clarissa), and she was Jennifer Ehle's Victorian lesbian lover in 'Possession'.

From the interviews, I have to say that I think Oliver Parker sounds like a bit of a moron.... but Piper Perabo's English accent is sooo cute! :lol:

ETA: it sounds like the film will be coming out in the UK on [b:defe0704df]4th November 2005[/b:defe0704df] (source: www.launchingfilms.com )

[quote:52cb11fbc9="Claudia"]:? It partly depends on how you define 'successful', I guess... To the people who make movies, it's mostly about how much money they will draw in. I agree that some of the films you mention above were break-outs in terms of lesbian film (ie they attracted a substantial mainstream audience), but they were still pretty small potatoes in the broader scheme of things. The problem lesbian-themed films continue to have is that some people won't see them because they're prejudiced, and some people won't see them because they're not interested. You're automatically cutting down your audience in one way (though, obviously, some films manage to overcome this through having popular actors/well-thought-out marketing strategies etc.... part of what made Jessica Stein successful was that they made it look like a straight girly date-movie.... which in a lot of ways it was). It may be that they will be able to do the same with this movie... and I certainly hope so.

But if you notice, Ol Parker (the director) explicitly said that when he was pitching this movie to executives, he didn't tell them it was about two women, because if he had, "it wouldn't have got made". So, whoever those executives were, they evidently didn't think that a lesbian relationship was the route to a successful movie.[/quote:52cb11fbc9]
Executives often don't know a viable movie concept from their buttholes. Anyway, I believe that the recipe for a successful romance movie (wether it is the monetary or critical kind) is to have a special twist to it and that women falling in love/lust with women is a fairly good good kind of twist. And in this case, when it's two pretty, model-like lesbians (or bisexuals or "modern sexual mysteries (tm)" or whatever) I especially think it's a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention that I know straight guys who are drawn to anything with the word "lesbian" in it.
I suspect it isn't exactly going to be an all out "lesbian movie", it's either going to have a tragic ending (society forces them to be apart or the "straighter" one of the girls shacks up with a man, etc) or some failed attempt at social/sexuality/introspective commentary a la Chasing Amy. And I hardly think the director is trying to pull of a Julia Roberts kind romantic comedy either, since he'd need a spiritually lifeless superstar for that, and Piper Perabo isn't quite at that yet.

Or it might just be my special brand of cynicism talking.

Does anyone know if there are trailers for the movie showing on American television yet? If they don't advertise it how will people outside the gay culture know about it? I believe they were advertising the hell outta Brokeback Mountain on almost every network.
As far as the movie goes I hope the girls end up together and they don't pull a "Kissing Jessica Stein" on us.

I haven't seen any on TV, but I've heard they've played the trailer in the theaters (Brokeback and Memoirs of a Geisha, I think - though one of those was in the UK, maybe?). Honestly, I thought that was impressive - I've never gone to a well commercialized film and seen a preview for a film centered on a romance between two women... Also, they've got the poster for this film up at a theater where I live (and one in a nearby town, I'm told), and this isn't a large city, so even that was kind of shocking. But good :)

I saw the film last night. So freakin' cute. If you like your movies cute, sweet, sentimental and sappy (I mean this all with the highest possible regard), than this film is for you.

My friend and I have been discussing it all morning and we think this film is quite revolutionary in its own little way by being completely conventional. This is a pretty standard romantic comedy that has lots in common with films like Four Wedding and a Funeral and Notting Hill, but the couple the audience is asked to root for are two women. This film isn't about realizing your gay or turning into a lesbian. It is simply about looking at another person and realizing they are made just for you, except the package they come in isn't what you expected.

Two quick observations:

- Piper Perabo pulls off a Brit accent quite well. I don't think her accent slipped once.

- Lena Headey will set off a wave of girlcrushing across the globe. Her character, Luce, is so sweet and beautiful, everyone will want to find someone just like her... probably even your straight girlfriends.

Hey, you can watch 2 short clips from the movie at the planetout website, here's the direct link : [url]http://planetout.com/video/article.html?id=1753&navpath=/entertainment/special/[/url]
Be sure to check out the one called "About space"...

Whoa those clips were awesome. And of course there's one on myspace as well. That's three clips I've watched today and they were all cute. My friend and I saw the myspace one in our university's library and she sighed and said, "Let's become British lesbians." Sounds like a good plan to me.

In case someone misses out the clips in MySpace:

You can save the exclusive clip, about 3.47MB. This one is very nice. :D

do you have the myspace link?

[quote:98b159b1db="peanutbutterwolf"]do you have the myspace link?[/quote:98b159b1db]

We almost posted at the same time. I guess you already found the link.

By the way, isn't it a good way to seduce?
Luce: You feel my hand?

yes, it is!

i was at the screening earlier today. it was cute and funny. totally a date movie.

i now have a crush on lena heady. absolutely breathtaking.

I saw a screening today too... that was a great scene - and there are many others. Also crushing on Lena Headey now... *swoon*

:lol: Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see....

I'm actually less pessimistic than you about the ending. They've consistently referred to it as a 'romantic comedy', so I don't think it will end tragically. And I'm prepared to believe (given that it's a small UK film, rather than a big American one) that they might actually have the decency to let the girls stay together at the end. But, only time will tell...

"Maybe if you put them both there." :lmao:

In my case, it didn't work for the first time because I didn't accept the cookies (I'm using Firefox). Then it worked when I took the cookies.

I love that clip!!! I can't wait to see this movie!!! Damn, I need to have a moment like that... anyone want me to take them to a hockey game???? lol

I'm already one of those, it's not all it's cracked up to be! :lol:

I joke obviously...

It just gets worse! 8O United International Pictures are the UK distributers and their official site says March 31st:

BAH!!!!!

March 31st it is then *goes into a quiet sulk*

I know. I noticed that a few days ago. It seems really silly that it is an English film and the last place it is being released is here in England!

Oh well, that's distribution for you I suppose.

....that sucks. Cineworld said it was coming out february 17

[quote:5782f42975="rovingeye"]....that sucks. Cineworld said it was coming out february 17[/quote:5782f42975]

Nah, their site has also been updated with the 31/03/2006 release date:

*still quietly sulking*

Fox Searchlight does try to promote this movie. At least, I saw the ad on some websites I visit every day: IMDB & New York Times

Now [url=www.imdb.com]IMDB[/url] shows its information in the front page under [i:3adc584b17]Coming Attractions[/i:3adc584b17] and ads in the top and side panels. I guess, every IMDB frequent user should be able to notice this movie or he/she is blind. :wink:

Not mention that Fox Searchlight still holds some free screenings in many cities after the opening of the movie. I wonder whether anyone drive to attend the screening... :roll:

Ok, I dont have anything to really say about the movie I was just wondering why during the interview Piper was speaking with a english accent (she is orginally from New Jersey), I know she is supposed to be english in the movie but during the interview she could have spoken like she normally does.

Not that I have anything against English accents or anything, personally I think english accents are sexy.

It just puts me off that she would use it during the interview.

Ok, now that I am at the end of my post I kinda have an answer to my own question. I guess she just got used to it or something.

I ususally tend to overanalyze things, try to ignore the rambling.

yet another crappy thing about small towns. No theater will be showing Imagine me and You. So Ill have to wait until it comes out on DVD. sigh. oh well Ill wait for piper anyday! lol :) :P

I plan on going to the free promotional viewing on Wed. here in Atlanta and wanted to know, can anybody give me a few details about how these things work? I've never been to a free viewing of a movie before.

Is it on a first come first serve basis. Do we have to wait in line for tickets before the movie or just get tickets as we enter the theatre? And then they just tell you when the theatre is full and they can't take fill anymore seats. Should I get there early?

Thanks to anybody who can help me. I can't wait to see the movie.
:D

I had these same questions before seeing a screening last week. Assuming this screening is listed on the official website as a free screening, make sure you print out the RSVP confirmation sent to your email and bring it (you need to find your showing and hit the RSVP link). That works like a ticket and I don't know that you'll get in without one. They'll just take that from you when you enter the theatre. There will also be security at the door checking your bag/purse before letting you in. The line outside the theatre was quite long when I went, but the theatre didn't even fill up to maximum capacity. I arrived about a half hour before the movie began and still found good seats. It might depend on the size of the theatre, but I wouldn't show up too early for it, unless you want *really* good seats (the best ones were already 'reserved' anyway)...

I went to a showing in San Francisco, where there were multiple ones for a couple weeks. Not sure how many are in your area - that might also affect the turnout for one screening. Anyway, hope that helps some.

Thanks for answering so quickly. I didn't know I had to RSVP and print out an email from the official site. I would've just gone there tomorrow and been like :dunno: There are multiple screenings at various theaters here in Atlanta, but this one is closest to my house.

Now I'm all set! THANKS A LOT!! :woo:

Thanks a lot :thumbsup:

Most likely because it will end up being a DVD extra, and to use her natural accent would be a bit jarring after watching the film. Also maybe she is just proud of it, as it is rather good, not perfect but good. Pity Americans only think there are two different types of English accent...posh and cockney, would have loved to her try and do a Brummie or Georgie accent. I'm Irish, and I winch every time I hear someone try and do an Irish accent on screen.

Okay! :devil:

Boy that place was PACKED last night. It was at a theatre in the mall. My gf and I got there almost 2 hours before because we wanted to walk around and shop before the movie started, but decided, just in case, to wander on upstairs to ask about the movie and see if anyone was in line. We get up there and there were already about 50+ people in line. 8O We did not plan on waiting in line for an hour. Oh well, shopping's out. :roll: A lot of parties got separated, especially parties of 3 or more.

Cute movie. Nothing incredibly fascinating about it but it was a good, happy ending date movie. Lots of funny scenes. With 2 cute women, and even the guys were cute. :lol: Piper did good. "Lost and Delirious" was so depressing.

Wonder how much money this film will make? Lots I hope! I really think this, and "D.E.B.S" are more progressive gay-girl films than all the ernest yet dull fodder of the last 15 years.

Let's make good movies of all kinds which have good, cute gay-girls couples profitable! :wink:
