A TCM fantasy

The definition of agony is when you get an e-mail notification that the new GE trailer is out . . . while you're in a meeting at work. I did watch it twice as soon as I was back in my cubicle, with the sound off (people can hear everything in those cubicles). It's actually pretty cool that way -- very spooky and atmospheric.
But ANYWAY, without further ado, here it is!
My opinion: Young Pip looks perfect, Joe looks perfect, Magwitch looks perfect. Satis House looks perfect. Older Pip looks very good. Mr. Jaggers isn't there long enough to get a good idea of how he looks. Estella looks . . . okay. Miss Havisham looks like she needs a tube of Blistex for Christmas.
But overall -- I think the whole thing looks marvelous.
