not to want the 'Diana' video for Christmas?

[ohmymimi]

It's bound to be out by then. Never keen on her, but also sorry for her sons having her life raked over again.

[LittleAbruzzenBear]

If someone bought that for me I would think they really don't know me at all.

[ItIsKnown]

I wouldn't want it but would LOVE the Kate and Wills one.

[MrsCakesPremonition]

From what I've heard of the film, it is a fantasy with very bad dialogue. It seems unfair to imply it has anything to do with Diana at all - it's not her fault that the film got made.

[Darkesteyes]

My mum worshipped Diana when i was a kid and i do mean WORSHIPPED....still does. Shes got pictures of her and William and Harry as kids up on the wall.
Always chastised me for my weight when i was younger and held Diana up as the example of the perfect girl/woman.
Because of this i grew to hate her when i was a teen. But as i got older i realised how unhappy shed been. It was my DM at fault not her. It did flit across my mind to buy this DVD for my DM for Christmas. But i wont because.
a. i think the film is in poor taste.
b. i really dont think i could take all the "Oh wasnt she wonderful Doesnt she (Naomi Watts) look like her" on Christmas Day. I could do without those 1980s flashbacks.

[LittleAbruzzenBear]

ItIs that looks hilarious in a so bad it's good way.

[ZingWantsCake]

I don't expect to be given it.

if I was, perhaps I would sell it on Ebay. collection only - so I can judge the buyer in person

btw it is easy for me to remember when I came to England for the first time.
I flew the day after she died.
I did go up to Westminster Abbey with a few friend to ogle at celebrities.
my first time in London and not a single red bus in sight?! v. disappointing

The Wills and Kate one was a work of absolute genius.

I havent seen the Diana film and wont seek it out. Perhaps Naomi watts thought this film was going the way of The Queen and the Kings Speech.

[AndThatsWhatIThinkOfYou]

who buys 'videos' these days?

[HarpyFishwifeTwat]

Why did Naomi Watts want to do it?

Meryl Streep as Thatcher, Helen Mirren as The Queen and Colin Firth as the King all have something in common...

[ohmymimi]

OK, Andthats, I'm changing my nn to 'dinosaur'.

[valiumredhead]

I would LOVE that as a xmas pressie! I am queen of crap telly, so xmas afternoon on the sofa curled up with a box of chocs watching that shite would be my perfect xmas!

[mrsjay]

I saw a clip today and it looks bloody awful really terrible acting and Princess diana comes across as a drippy moo, I really dont want to see it I was never a fan of hers and nevr that interested in her life either, I can remember the Royal wedding and people oooing and ahhing she always seemed over hyped to me,

[mrsjay]

The Wills and Kate one was a work of absolute genius.

it was amazing I think this film will be cringy though or probably should have gone straight to true movies

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Yanbu. I was 8 when she died. I think, ageing things up, I thought she was a whiny arse attention seeker. Didn't get the en mass mourning then and certainly don't get the way she is being turned into a saint now.

[ItIsKnown]

With the usual disclaimer of feeling terrible for her children I can safely say I felt physically sick on the day of her funeral. Nauseating.

I used to take taxis a lot in those days and the radio would be endlessly playing from Aladdin.

[AlannaPartridge]

I went on a first date with a guy the day after she died. He sat sobbing over his curry.

Never saw the twat again.

Whole thing was completely and utterly OTT - and this country has not been the same since.

No, I don't want the DVD for Christmas either. YA-definitely-NBU.

[AlannaPartridge]

Best thing about this film (tenuously) was Naomi Watts making a prat of herself on Simon Mayo's show

[HarpyFishwifeTwat]

I liked Diana, I thought her death was sad but by the day of her funeral I could not get "Oh What A Circus" from Evita out of my head.

[Darkesteyes]

Todays celebrity culture can be traced right back to the obsession with Lady Di/Princess Diana which began in the early 80s.

[Amy106]

No, I don't want that for Christmas either.

[ZingWantsCake]

I'd rather watch the DVD then read "Princess Diana" one more time.

she was never a princess. why can't people understand that?
