Yes, it was inevitable; Yes, i was prepared, even waiting for it; but it came so late in the movie that i was almost at the point of thinking that we would be spared and they wouldn't dare. thankfully i was in good company; a shared disgust of biographical readings - how dare we assume that a woman could have an original thought unconnected with her immediate experience! george eliot who? - and a shared love of james mcavoy will get you very far in this world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36119718.post-50044834168113035172007-05-30T12:50:00.000-04:002007-05-30T12:50:00.000-04:00Luuurve the photo caption, by the way.I still have...Luuurve the photo caption, by the way.<BR/><BR/>I still have to see this movie, and I will, but “fiction is desirable...”?
