I'm going to see The Lone Ranger with my daughter later on this afternoon. I don't think it's got many good reviews, has it? I wonder what I will make of it even it does have Johnny Depp in it!

Faith, thank you very much - from you, I take that as praise and am grateful!
It came at precisely the right moment; not the sort of movie you can watch when you're not in just the mood, is it?"To be the queen, she agreed to be the widow!"

The pre-modern world was willing to attribute charisma to women well before it was willing to attribute sustained rationality to them.

Stumbled upon the old 1960 film, 5 Branded Women, and watched it on Youtube (in English with Spanish subtitles; it's not available on DVD). I hadn't seen it since I was kid, but had never forgotten the scene where they cut the women's hair off for consorting with a German Lothario during WW2. I had also forgotten it took place in Yugoslavia (and not France, as my rusty memory thought).

I watched Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris on the plane coming home from Brussels, Luxembourg and Paris!
