Hee!!! Christopher Eccleston with a Scottish Accent!!

[arabian]

I'm watching Shallow Grave -- second time, but it's been years -- on my way to going through all of Christopher Eccleston, Billie Piper, David Tennant and Catherine Tate's filmogrophies. I'm about ten seconds in and the film begins with Eccleston's character narrating ... and he's using a Scottish accent!!.

Please tell me I'm not the only Doctor-fan squeeing over this just because of the Tennant-Scottish connection? Please tell me I'm not alone here.

I haven't seen Shallow Grave yet, though it is on my list. In an amusing moment of synchronicity, I too decided to work on my CE filmography tonight, and got Jude from the library. I think I have to brace myself for it, though, as I've heard it's really sad.

Oy, you have not seen Jude? Oh boy. Prepare to have your chest opened, your heart ripped out, and then stomped upon the floor into a million pieces by sharp, stiletto heels.

Yes, it's THAT sad.

I can't find it anywhere near me. I am bummed, if I get this new job, I may break down and just buy it because I remember loving it, I love Kate Winslet and Christopher Eccleston and hey, who doesn't love a movie to watch every now and then that just rips them completely to shreds emotionally?

Yeah. I've heard it is completely heartbreaking, not to mention I hate Thomas Hardy, so I'd been holding out on this one. But really, Chris and Kate in the same movie... I can't help myself.

I figure I can do one of two things:

a) save it for a rainy, horrible day when I'm feeling depressed, and cry a lot

b) get really wasted on Irish Coffee while watching it.

We'll see which I choose.

Kate Winslet and CE really are spectacular in it. Which ever route you choose, I know you'll walk away with a renewed belief in the awesome power of his acting because he's just so, so good in this. I know he's good in everything, but this? Just gut-wrenching.
