meddow:Fake Film Meme: The Social SciencesThe life of physics professor Charlotte Patrick (Anna Chancellor) is in shambles. Her twenty year relationship with her former professor, publicly beloved television astrophysics Sir Hubert Fallow (Tom Wilkinson) has came to a messy and public end two years prior which ended his television career, her last ten years of research has come to naught and she’s desperate for funding. Now Hubert has taken up the vice-chancellor position at her university and seems determined to make her life more difficult.Her best friend Anna Mills (Michelle Fairley) has just been awarded tenure and only now finally feels secure enough to find the time to look up from her microscope. She wants to pick up where she left off, but doesn’t quite know where to start. Social rituals are so much more complicated than cellular biology.Meanwhile, Charlotte’s old friend Kate Weston (Allison Janney) has arrived. Having unwittingly become one of the world’s most famous chemists by whistle-blowing and halting the manufacture of dodgy erectile dysfunction drug, her career has been reduced to a punchline on late night talk shows and she’s decided to deal with it by hiding in Charlotte’s spare room and drinking all her wine.Thing aren’t quite as any of them would like, but it’s fine until Hubert suggests in an interview that he was the brains behind Charlotte’s early work, ruining her reputation and all hope of funding. Then the three friends decide its time to turn their scientific minds to a whole new subject: revenge.After all, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.(For sophiagratia who wanted Anna Chancellor, Allison Janney and Michelle Fairley in a campus comedy). -- source link
