My friend Jeremy would be so proud--TiVo caught The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert off the Sundance channel sometime yesterday, so I sat down to watch it last night. I fear the thought of what TiVo is going to recommend next, though, I have to admit.
Anyway. Not a bad movie--but very very surreal in parts, maybe more because I see Hugo Weaving and I think Elrond, and I see Terence Stamp and I think Zod. I mean, Bernadette going from tearful about Trumpet to "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!" in one's mind is kind of freaky, you know?
The costumes, though, were amazing, and I think the part that really made me cackle was them getting the aboriginal guy who caught them mid-rehearsal all dressed up.
So, yeah. Very surreal, but enjoyable.
Yay, DirecTV.

It won the Oscar for Best Costumes in 1994. They had a total costume budget of $25,000, and they used it to the absolute best of their abilities. The woman of the male/female team who won wore a dress made completely of American Express Gold cards when they accepted the award. :)
