to ask if you will be going to see Meryl Streep play Thatcher young and old?

[fickencharmer]

The film is said to be out in January. Some Tories are already saying the old lady should not have been portrayed.

But it was daughter Carole Thatcher who wrote about her mothers state
of health.

Why do they say that?

Yes, looking forward to it. Streep is a legend.

I will, I'm a huge Streep fan!

I'd like to but I doubt my DD will agree to it.

Deffo. Streep and Thatcher both legends (in v different ways obviously).

Is it just me or does the OP just not make a whole load of sense?

What does Carole Thatcher have to do with anything?

meta4 Why do they say it? Because they want the youthful so-called Iron Lady emphasised My answer to that is we all get old if we live long enough.

And, if as I suspect, the story is told backwards. Then you will see the old Maggie first.

Well I won't pay to see it on the cinema but will watch when it comes out on DVD. I love Meryl Streep.

I will not pay to see it in the cinema too expensive and nor will I buy a DVD. I will wait for it to come to the television. Not that bothered.

Are you being unreasonable about what?

No.
I'll give myself a conniption. Even the trailer makes me froth at the mouth.

I'd like to see it but I'm too scared I may start shouting or throwing things at the screen!

I will see it, but only to see my friend play Carol Thatcher!

Otherwise I would imagine I won't bother!

Streep is great. I just can't bear the idea of watching a film dramatising/glorifying Thatcher.

I can't stand Streep but admire the fuck out of Thatcher.

Streep will kill it so it wont be worth watching.

Do you think she knew what she was taking on when she accepted the part. I love Meryl but, I dont think I could stomach the film.
