I'm almost too distracted by Keira Knightley's Marge Simpson hairdo (or is it Bride of Frankenstein?) to fairly discuss The Duchess. But good news: The trailer shows her sporting other, less distracting 'dos, like the pretty kinky curls. But despite this being a "true story" which, among other things, portrays the aforementioned duchess as "the empress of fashion herself," her hair is beside the point, or at least it probably should be. It's hard to tell exactly what the movie's about, but it looks like she's supposed to love one guy (Ralph Fiennes) and chooses another. Okay, someone needs to call the casting director for this movie, because I'm sorry, but you never put Ralph Freaking Fiennes in the role that the woman doesn't choose. Have you looked at him? Listened to him speak? He is gorgeous in every way, and there is no woman in the world who would not choose him. This is a fact. But if you can suspend your disbelief, it looks like there's scandal and sex and intrigue and sweaty makeout sessions (luckily without the high hair). Let's hope at least a few of those involve Mr. Fiennes.
