I came back from Savannah and saw (all the way through) Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Thoughts on this movie?

Meh.

Meh, what, R? You didn’t like it?

Well, guess what? “Two tears in a bucket, Mother fuck-it!”.

Not really. The look of the movie is beautiful, but the plot wasn’t all that interesting. (Oh, no. Scary gay people.) I am pretty hard to please when it comes to movies, though.

@Jude I read the book when it first came out but I haven’t seen the movie. In your opinion, is it worth watching? I really enjoyed the book. It was one of those that we passed around amongst family and friends. I love Savannah and the book’s images and people were, to me, spot on. I love true crime and this book offered that and so much more. I love that “if you don’t have anything good to say about somebody…come sit next to me” attitude.

The book was a good read but the movie for me was just so-so. It usually happens that way if I read the book first.

I enjoyed the movie, but it’s been many years since I saw it. I would love to visit Savannah.

I ADORED IT!!!!

My sisters and I read the book, then saw the movie, then took a trip to Savannah. We really enjoyed all three. The sisters gave me a two-foot tall Bird Girl statue for the garden, but I’ve kept in on the fireplace hearth.

@bkcunningham If you haven’t seen the movie yet, it’s worth putting on the list. I love the fact that the real Lady Chablis stars in the movie.
