And Mr Cartright, testily making his way along the corridor to fetch his errant pupil, heard the glorious, glorious tenor voice echoing from ceiling and walls, and fell back respectfully to let the young vision in white sail past, like a tall ship, out into his unfettered youth.

Mrs. Doubtfire (1993, Chris Columbus)

13/12/2023

Mrs. Doubtfire is a 1993 comedy-drama film directed by Chris Columbus, loosely based on the 1987 novel Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine.

The film, starring Robin Williams, Sally Field and Pierce Brosnan, follows a recently divorced actor who disguises himself as a housekeeper so he can interact with his children.

The film won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and two Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.

Although the film received mixed reviews upon release, its reception and popularity improved considerably, placing 67th on the American Film Institute's AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs list.

Daniel Hillard is a voice actor with an extraordinary talent for changing voices who works and lives in San Francisco, but who quit after an argument with his boss. Miranda, Daniel's wife, who returned home early thanks to a phone call from her neighbor who was exasperated with the situation that had arisen, argues furiously with her husband, accusing him of being immature and unreliable and ending up asking him for her divorce.

One Saturday evening, coming to Daniel's house to pick up her children, Miranda informs her ex-husband of her intention to hire a housekeeper.

During Miranda's birthday dinner, blinded by jealousy and alcohol, Daniel sneaks into the kitchen and fills Stu's plate with chili pepper, who is allergic to the ingredient. Daniel, dressed as Mrs. Doubtfire, realizing the trouble he has caused, rushes to the aid of his rival, but when he practices the Heimlich maneuver to make the morsel come out, the mask comes off revealing his true face.

Blake Lively did not pass the audition for the role of Natalie Hillard, which later went to Mara Wilson. Robin Williams was chosen by Anne Fine herself for the role of Mrs Doubtfire, while Tim Allen was proposed for both the role of the housekeeper and that of Stu, but he rejected both parts.

The producers wanted the parents to eventually get back together and remarry, but Robin Williams, Sally Field and Chris Columbus thought this ending would be too unrealistic and would give false hope to children of divorced parents.

The film was shot in San Francisco, Oakland, Redwood City and San Ramon between March 22 and July 1, 1993.

The film was released in cinemas in the United States on November 24, 1993, and in Italy on February 11, 1994.

Mrs. Doubtfire earned $219,195,243 in the United States and Canada and $222,090,952 in other countries, for a worldwide total of $441,286,195, making it 20th Century Fox's highest-grossing film internationally at era and the second highest-grossing film of 1993, behind only Jurassic Park.

During the week in which that bitch of a prosecuting counsel kept flapping that bloody wig in the jurors’ faces and letting rip about my capacity for secrecy and my pure cunning, I felt obliged to offer Trevor back the ring he’d given me. ‘I will admit,’ he said, ‘that Dad has spent a good deal of time this week warning me I might regret saying the words “till death do us part” to a homicidal maniac. But shall we just press on? See how it goes?

[Image Description: 4 quotes from plays and 1 painting. The quotes read as follows, 1: “Someone will see to you! The evil you are is the evil you get.” 2: “Klytemnestra: ‘If you kill me, you kill yourself. Orestes—‘ / Orestes: ‘You did wrong. Now you suffer wrong.’” 3: “He filled this house like a mixing bowl to the brim with evils, now he has drunk it down.” 4: “Menelaos: ‘No, don’t do it!’ / Orestes: ‘Oh, be quiet. Endure what you deserve.’” The painting is of King Agamemnon, murdered in his bath, with a net embroidered over him in red. End description.]

Old book fans really hating on the show, huh? As if we’re ever getting a Lestat more book accurate than Sam Thyne Reid??? I’ve been reading these books since I was 9 and I couldn’t love the show more!!!! You know I don’t know what it is anymore that they’re even complaining about if not the inclusion of bipoc stories? Is it really the pastiche aesthetic that y’all are gnawing bones over? It wasn’t even accurate in the movie!!!! If y’all have any fucking patience we’re getting timeline accurate flashbacks as soon as season 2!!! Lestat is book accurate, and I’m gonna fucking say it, so are Louis and Armand!!! Maybe y’all just haven’t read the books in a while, but whatever nostalgia y’all are salivating for is just that, it doesn’t really have anything to do with Anne’s writing. I’m rereading TVL and PL and nothing in my brain has had to shift from the show to the book, I’m seeing and hearing Sam Reid and Assad Zaman. Y’all really wanted a redhead minor as Armand? Nobody cares! Assad embodies everything that makes Armand’s character. Honestly some of you sound like the same assholes who told me I couldn’t be goth because I was black. Either that or you just don’t understand what adaptation actually means. Either it’s racism or frankly racist leaning and salivating for an ✨aesthetic✨. And y’all better not come crawling when season 3 comes around just because it’s suddenly more palatable and accurate to you. Disgusting!

#I’m so tired #if the changes are just too much for you then fine #but don’t pretend the show is wrong or bad somehow #it just doesn’t fit your narrow view of vc #a series that was always oscillating and evolving in tone and aesthetic #show louis IS book louis #just with added complexity that book louis sorely needed #sam reid was born to play lestat #we’ll never get another that is this passionate about the source material or who loves Lestat more #iwtv #interview with the vampire #the vampire chronicles #amc iwtv #vc #anne rice

"I get annoyed having to explain obvious mechanics"

"you're either playing your job or sabotaging"

Some of you really need to learn to accept the fact that there will always be new players who don't know things and that this is not only okay but necessary for the game's survival.

#anne's ishgardian salt rock #i mean that you generally to be clear i don't think i'm talking to most of my followers #most responses to that s #poll have been fine #but like. damn #idk what to tell people with this attitude #idk how to tell you that a sprout not playing their rotation optimally at level 50 is not 'sabotage' jfc #this kind of shit is exactly why i was always scared to play an mmo #thankfully it's the minority in ffxiv #but it's still out there #stop assuming the worst! people are just inexperienced #you were once too. is that so hard to remember?
