Now Showing: "Come What May" by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor

Admittedly, Nicole Kidman's birthday is an important event; but I don't even need an unimportant event to post anything with Ewan McGregor in it, let alone something with him singing in it. All I need is a pulse and a glimmer of consciousness, which is about all I have left after swooning along to this bit of aural sex for four minutes plus.

Here we see The Man himself, performing the hell out of Come What May, from the Baz Luhrmann film Moulin Rouge!; oh, and she's good in it too...

"Come What May" by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman

Baz Luhrmann's 2001 film Moulin Rouge! is a frenzied mess - obviously edited in a Cuisinart - a purported musical in which the hard work of the dancers isn't effectively shown, lest a snippet of film longer than three seconds accidentally find its way into the print; believe me, when I say something is too busy it's too busy, and this makes Hong Kong on a Friday rush hour in summer look as activity-free as Paris Hilton's CAT scan.

I realize that in saying this I am leaving myself open to assassination, as I once made the same point (although far more diplomatically) at a gay dinner party, and was nearly defenestrated; fortunately there were only six of them, and the spindly buggers couldn't lift me. I stand by my original assessment, though: if you don't have ADD going into this film, you will when you come out!

Still, I love the song Come What May for the honeyed tones of Ewan McGregor... And what's-her-name; she's good in it too.
