Let's have a fangirl freakout over Greta Gerwig's LITTLE WOMEN (Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Laura Dern, Meryl Streep, Timothée Chalamet)

My only complaint is that Bob Odenkirk was a real weird choice for the dad. Chris Cooper was indeed great though.

I am rereading the book after many decades

my mental pictures for the characters are a mashup of the Gillian Jacobs & Greta Gerwig movies - this is how it breaks down in my imagination currently

Winona Ryder = Jo
wotsername Hermione = Meg
Claire Danes = Beth
Florence Pugh = Amy (but sometimes Kirsten Dunst ie when Jo cuts her hair & Amy gasps YOUR ONE BEAUTY I always hear in Dunst’s voice)
Susan Sarandon = Marmee
Odenkirk = Father
Timotheeeee = Teddy/Laurie
Cooper = Mr Laurence
Louis Garrel - Friedrich but only bc i am happier picturing him being hot instead of crusty

and the reason I think i picture Odenkirk is not his look but his voice? i hear Bob’s gravelly voice in the words of father. i think the casting does work but we just dont get many scenes w him unfortunately. if there was more of him, like the long scene in the book where he tells the girls what they mean to him & how theyve grown i think it would make more sense & it IS legit weird seeing him in the movie no argumenr

My only complaint is that Bob Odenkirk was a real weird choice for the dad. Chris Cooper was indeed great though.

oh i thought the reason for the bump here was the "lou alcott was a trans man" viral thread

"LOL it's Bob Odenkirk!" did take me out of the movie but it was such a rush that I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Do we have high hopes for the Barbie movie?
