The whole look and feel of it is just fantasyland-wonderful. Cinderella's amazing blue dress has like 18 miles of stitching of 10,000 Swarovski crystals, with 270 yards of fabric, I think I heard them say. And the evil stepmother's fashions - downright smashing. But oh, those sets! Should be a hunk or two in it, too. Sounds fantastical. Should be total eye-candy.

Your description alone makes me want to watch it. Is it a movie or a series?

It's Disney's latest high-budget 21st century live-action movie of an iconic fairy-tale. Looks absolutely magical. Go look at the trailer in HD. But until you see it on your HD big screen, it can't look the same. Can't wait to see it on the big movie screen. The single Swarovski crystal "glass slipper", polished and shaped like a gem, that Cinderella saves from the ball and hides, found, held up and then smashed by the evil godmother in one scene, cost $15,000.00, I heard on one entertainment show! It looks like a tour de force in gorgeous period costume dramas, even if we do all know the plot.

Not necessarily the type of movie I'd like to watch. Mojo's latest on the new movie releases has Cinderella as the top movie for this week.

After watching Downtown Abbey and many of the BBC and other British/Canadian/Australian gorgeous period pieces, I am now a much bigger fan than I used to be of this genre. Before that, I've mostly loved British murder mysteries like Miss Marple, Poirot, any and all Sherlock Holmes renditions, Inspector Morse, Inspector Lewis, lately Miss Fisher(!) - it's beautifully presented at least, etc.; and now I've adapted myself to watching most anything filmed in high-quality HD, has lovely, quality sets and art direction, wonderful costuming and even the plot sometimes matter with these productions

. But with the big, showy pieces, it's mostly an eye-candy thing that big screen HDTV and high color has roped me into - hehe. Only thing is, I want to see Cinderella at the movies with all the works. I can't wait to feast my eyes on the fantastic Cinderella blue ball gown on the big screen.

Anybody see HBO's "Jinxed" about Robert Durst? I'm thinking about getting HBO just to watch the replay of the series. Sounds fascinating.

Ach...."The Jinx" is the main part of the title of the HBO series, not "Jinxed". Anyway, has anybody watched? Any good? Twitterites seemed to love it. Weird that the old guy got arrested the night before the final episode, which itself sounds like a bizarre, Hollywood ending!

Bryan Williams has a daughter that has a big part in this, if I heard correctly.

I took my niece to see Cinderella on Saturday. It was amazing! I truly enjoyed it. My nine year niece said "I have to have that dress", lol. There was an adorable little movie short of Frozen called "Frozen Fever", which was adorable as well.

I can't wait. We have an IMAX screen showing it at the theater complex fairly near me and I'm dying to see it on that. The movie looks so p and that ball gown especially. Can't wait.

I'm anxious to see Cinderella too, but I'm dying to see Beauty and the Beast. Emma Watson + Emma Thompson + Alan Menken = perfect

They actually made a fairly accurate prom dress based off the Cinderella dress, it's amazing
Disney Forever Enchanted Cinderella Ball Gown for Prom

Imax isn't worth the extra money in my opinion, I have perfect vision and couldn't see a difference. However movies are more expensive in NJ, normal is $11.50 and Imax is $17.50, my friends in TX pay about half that.

That's gorgeous! Who wouldn't feel like a princess in that gown!!! Wow! Not much $$$ either for all that fabric and work. It would be twice that in a real shop here in Texas I'll bet. Wonder how many lookalikes will be dancing at the prom in Cinderella blue gowns this year.

Yeah, I think the local IMAX theater ticket is $12/13.99 - not at much as I thought. It would be worth it at twice that - that's how bad I want to see that pretty movie.

ShowGirlLola · 03-31-2015, 05:05 PM

I just saw Cinderella, it was gorgeous, totally worth seeing just for her dress. I think it's my new favorite version of Cinderella.

The Frozen Fever short was really cute too.

What the heck is the Fulcrum in Blacklist?

EarthAngel · 04-09-2015, 03:12 PM

I'm thinking it is a code of some sort?? Lizzy keeps it in her stuffed rabbit...so maybe it is a thumb drive? Some day they will reveal it!

I ask because a while back I turned over to the program as she was finding what looked like a tiny-sized thumb drive or SD card but I forgot where she found it or what she did with it if I even saw that part. Haven't watched since but now I'm watching the episode aired just before Easter and a guy told Red he needed to produce the Fulcrum, if he has it. Wasn't this Fulcrum something that Lizzy's father had and somehow died for when she was a young girl? If so, how was it her father had a thumb drive or SD card 15 or more years ago? And a code to some computer that was generated all those years ago? Wonder what's on the computer?

Ah, I just heard Lizzy say Red told her it's a blackmail file. What the heck?
