koalenaПосмотрели The Boat That Rocked (спасибо ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dcdance за рекомендацию) -- приятное и веселое кино про 1960-е, пиратскую радиостанцию, которая круглые сутки транслирует рок с кораблика и про жаждущего крови радиопиратов министра. Цитируя IMDB: 1 лодка. 8 диджеев. никакой морали.
Очень рекомендую.
Домучила Virgin suicides (не понравилось) и стала перечитывать Welcome to the world, Baby Girl, а перечитав, взялась за Standing in the Rainbow. Очень люблю длинные семейные истории и люблю американский юг, перечитывание этих книг меня умиротворяет.
With home-cooked, Southern literary flair, Fannie Flagg (Fried Green Tomatoes) returns with Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! "Baby Girl," as she is lovingly referred to by her sweet, country cousins, is Dena Nordstrom, a tall, blonde, corn-fed girl who makes it big in Manhattan. Ms. Nordstrom is now the top TV anchorwoman in the city, beating out veteran journalists and making ungodly amounts of money. Although her life seems charmed, Dena is frazzled and miserable. She drinks uncontrollably, is a borderline compulsive liar, and is forced to undergo therapy because of her stress-induced ulcer. Her psychiatrist, Dr. Diggers, living up to her name shovels up a mountain of dysfunction and forces Dena to face her mysterious past. Meanwhile, back at the station, Ms. Nordstrom has made friends and enemies in very high places.

Set between 1946 and 2000 in Elmwood, Missouri, Fannie Flagg's Standing in the Rainbow revisits middle America and the charms of small town living.
Neighbor Dorothy broadcasts a daily radio show from her home. Known as "the lady with the smile in her voice," she keeps everyone in her community, as well as the surrounding areas, informed of local news. Mother Smith (her mother-in-law) plays the organ for the show acting as foil and confidant. To their embarrassment, her children Anna Lee and Bobby's secrets are often leaked to the listening audience. On at least one occasion, an author traveling through Missouri gets a good review from Neighbor Dorothy and finds himself on the New York Times' bestseller list upon his return to the city. Her husband, Doc (the town pharmacist) never knows who'll be in his house when he gets home, but he finds all the activity a pleasant release after a day dealing with his customers' ailments.
While the residents of Elmwood may live in a small town, they don't have dull lives. Like everyone else in America, they were affected by the great changes in the country between the '40s and the present.
Fannie Flagg's great strengths are her ability to keep a story moving and create memorable characters. Standing in the Rainbow includes : Norma and Macky Warren who recreate Norma's parents's marriage with happier results; Betty Raye, who unbeknownst to her outgoing family was switched at birth; the colorful Hamm Sparks, tractor salesman turned politican; the Oatman Family Southern Gospel Singers who have contacts all over the Southern gospel circuit (watch for cameos!); and many other townsfolk.
