Hi I’ve nominated you for the Liebster Award https://mykindofmovie.wordpress.com/2015/08/31/ive-been-nominated-for-the-liebster-award/
Oh thanks Lauren!!!! You sweetie 🙂
Thats ok 🙂
I can see that you really love Capote, I need to read more of his work.
I dooooo!!! The only book of Truman Capote I’ve never read is ironically – Breakfast at Tiffany’s!
I would recommend his short stories a lot – they’re a great read!
How are you Mr Satrap? 🙂
I’ll make a note of that Emma, I’ve been getting loads of awards lately. Can’t grumble at all.
You are very well read Emma, I seriously need to get back into my reading again.
I’m pretty bad now I’m older. I used to be SUCH a bookworm when I was a kid, I’d read anything. I’ve let it slip as I’ve got older. Easier to lay in bed watching Family Guy innit! Ha ha ha. Plus I love re-reading books, which is a bad habit when you have lots of new ones to read !!!
Feels like we haven’t spoken for ages brother!
I know, how have you been sister?
Not too bad. Isn’t this weather depressing though!!!!! How’s you brother?
Grim weather, uh. I’m doing all right. Just in the process of watching a mini series that I plan to review called The Honourable Woman.
Ooh sounds interesting, Netflix?
I use Love Film, it could be on Netflix. Here’s a trailer if you’re interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQYsZEbu1RI
Thanks! I borrow one of my friend’s Lovefilm logins so could be done!!
What did you make of the trailer?
So many entries for this blogathon, but this one stands out among them. Good job!
Awwww….shucks! I’m really glad 🙂 (truly!) thanks Jay.
i should probably see this eventually. tnx for participating Ems!
Thanks for having me! It’s a great film 🙂

This was a really great review! I actually didn’t know this was a movie, and I really loved the book too, so I’ll definitely have to look into it!
Oh that’s really nice of you to say Jessica, thank you!!! (and thank you for reading!!)
I thought this really was a great and fitting adaptation from the book, you should definitely watch it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!!! 🙂
Yes, I’ll definitely let you know! Did you find the movie online? Have you seen the other Capote films? I have only seen Capote, and not Infamous.
I bought it from Amazon I think….I don’t remember it being TOO expensive. Yes I’ve seen Capote and Infamous! Infamous I only saw recently. That was a bit of a pricier DVD, around £20 if I remember rightly.
I think Capote has the edge slightly but Infamous is still worth watching! Toby Jones is fantastic and it’s more about Truman as a person, as apposed to just the Clutter murder case. It’s more light hearted I suppose.
Did you enjoy Capote? 🙂
Yes, I really liked Capote but thought it was so sad and depressing. I had to watch it in high school English class, and it was a terrible thing to watch at 8am!
Oh god, I bet it was!!! 😦
You may prefer Infamous then… It is still the essential story about him writing his book but it does have a lot more about his life in ‘society’ and I would say it’s a much more light hearted move than Capote, though of course it has its moments..!
I really like Toby Jones too (who plays Capote in Infamous), I think he’s a great actor!
I left a comment on your review over on Rob’s site, a sublime piece of writing Emma.
Thanks Vinster 🙂
No problem my lovely hype announcer. Thought of any more naughty introductions for Satrap?
