Theatre Fan posted a gif of Miranda Priestly on Twitter. Could an announcement be coming? theatrefan gets some good scoops doesn’t he? Shame he isn’t posting here any more! Do most of them not come from here?

Considering both Tammy Faye and Prada needed serious work, and Elton only just stopped touring, shouldn't we wait until they've had the work done to put them on 😂

Or maybe nobody should bother, and just leave it as an entertaining read and ok film. Ok film? OK FILM? ONLY OK? ? ? Streep (and Blunt a little bit) is the only ‘good’ thing about this morass of mediocrity. Its no better than a netflix chick flick, only elevated by a couple of great performances….I think.

Set it against a background of actual fashion, rather than a ‘could be anything’ office.

I too thought it was an okay film and in truth, in therms of the film (unless I'm missing something) am wondering what the fuss is about? I've seen the film (at least) twice. I agree it's a stellar cast and no disrespect to Meryl's performance but it's a bit, meh... for me.

I think they’re possibly threatened. The “scoop” biz is very competitive of course. Anyway I’m breaking my own guidelines, they don’t post here any more so let’s stop talking about them.
