Actor Chiwetel Ejiofor was--with Audrey Tautou and a never-an-off-note supporting cast--absolutely brilliant in 2002's gritty Dirty, Pretty Things, so Dennis pitched 2005's Kinky Boots into the Netflix queue. (Title aside, it's tame enough that you could probably watch it with your Grandmother. Indeed, the older ladies get the credit they truly deserve in this flick, and Grandma might just appreciate that you're finally treating her like the adult who's seen waaaaay more than you have.)
But I digress.
The plot is not only that doing more of what doesn't work is the simplest formula for extinction. It's also that merely reciting poetry below the boudoir window of one's new niche isn't good enough: It must be embraced. And, naturally, taken 'round to Mother's for tea. If you're not entrepreneurially-minded, it's still entertainment that doesn't lose touch with the human side of either filmmaking or business.

A quick aside about the two-day blogging hiatus: Dennis and I were en route from vacation and were stuck in either airplanes or airports for well over 24 hours. Apologies for the uncharacteristic lapse: JFK Airport does not have wi-fi, and sleep took precedence by the time we were safely back home.
