Very nice photos! I'd much prefer see Matthew Goode any day rather then any more semi-educated, wrongheaded reviews like the last (Charles Ryder in trade? Uh, no--)

So, on that note:

Who, me? He wouldn't have to ask me twice to marry him. ...

This movie will surely start a "dandy" fashion trend, I'm salivating just looking at some of the boys' outfits! 

It's a good weekend for costume dramas with the opening of BRIDESHEAD REVISITED (REVISiTED) & Catherine Breillat's  THE LAST MISTRESS.

Here's a nice shot of Ben, so he doesn't feel slighted.

Aha, so that's Ben on your avatar, Gil!

I'm going tonight, prepared for whatever.  I'll report back.

In this photo it looks to me like Emma Thompson is morphing into Diana Rigg (the cheeks getting hollower and hollower).

I'm going tonight, prepared for whatever.  I'll report back.

The reviews I've read have been good so it should be a good time,  I think I'll see it tomorrow.  And yes that's Ben's nose on my avatar.  I loved PERFUME and became a Ben fan after seeing it.

I've seen Ben on stage in London (the first production of His Dark Materials at the National Theatre in 2003) and his very young Hamlet (directed by Trevor Nunn at the Old Vic in 2004).

I didn't see Perfume. It just seemed--hmm. Ben is an odd egg. Not every one's cup of tea--not mine, anyway, that's for sure. But that's what makes this old world turn around, no?

Good luck, all, with Brideshead. I can't believe it will be even slightly worthwhile, but--maybe the costumes are interesting.

And there's always Oxford--and Christ Church!
