Mr. Rudolpho's Jubilee (2017)
Great little comedy
A charming oddball comedy. I saw it in preview last night and loved it. Quaint and subtle, it's a delight to watch. It's not quite your avew3rage comedy. You'll certainly need a taste for the off-the-wall and intelligent. If you like your comedy simple and upfront then this may be the wrong pick for you. If you want some whimsy, give it a go.
Agent Carter (2015)
Anachronism
The Typewriter/Fringe thing that's already been mentioned - jumped straight out. More importantly I can't understand how some of the obvious anachronisms slip by. This is a mega-dollars TV productions and I was wondering how at no point someone looked some of the scipt and didn't say, "Er, excuse me...". Ther'se a crying need for a script editor with a wider knowledge than Hollywood. 1. Opening scene. 1946 and Carter is using a modern paper teabag. I didn't see a teabag until around 1970.I know gauze tea bags were in existence earlier in America, although they didn't reach the UK until the 50s or take off until the late 60s. But a Brit using a teabag? I don't think so. Prejudiced me against the show in the first 5 minutes. 2. Customer complaining about their BLT, a term that wasn't in use until the late 50s at the earliest. Probably 60's 3. We'll ignore the mobile phone as I assume this is supposed to be a Stark invention.
Somehow I just felt that no one on the editing team had a very good sense of placing this in time. It felt terribly inauthentic.
Something odd about the sound editing too.
