15th May Better the Devil you know

 

So a little jolly out to the cinema this afternoon for TOM and I to see The Devil wears Prada 2, or would it be The Devil wears Primark. The first film was a cracker and gave much food for thought in the exploring Faith through Film series that I have  run for many years. 

In a surprisingly empty theatre, although perhaps for many a 1pm showing was a bit early, we settled down both to enjoy the film but also to work out just what outfits we might be able to copy for our next Norwegian cruise, seeing as the principle actors appeared to change clothes every scene.

As for the film it was good but I think because it featured many of the same characters from the initial version and as such their persona, cutting comments, put downs and general role in the plot was already known (too well known) to the audience there was little new to the overall script.

Still it did give me the thought that I might well base by future ministry in Borders Mission on the character of Runway chief, Miranda Priestly, both in terms of her tassle abundant jackets and withering put downs.
