my first response is that we don't need another grey gardens, or an extension of the original, since the first one is perfect.

i've seen it several times and will watch it again - it's one of those rare films that i can come back to. i think it's that viewing it teeters on boring at times. this allows the mind to wander and with each viewing certain things become almost new again.

i don't want to see anyone in makeup and prosthetics prance around as the edies. they are perfectly disfunctional in the way they represent themselves in the original. the mystery around their circumstances adds to the charm of the train wreck that is their lives.

don't we all have a big edie and little edie in our family tree?
