Short excerpt of the first party scene with the beautiful girl in white. So Rémy found love with the girl in white (I think I’m right saying this) and Louise has a purely physical relationship with the guy with the 80s hairstyle and loses Rémy. Pascale Ogier was really good as Louise.

I think it may be, but I did quite enjoy it. After coming out of the cinema, however, I was not so sure about at least one turn of the plot. (The heavy handed methods used to silence the George Clooney character, and the complete failure of these attempts being reported as a fact that Michael Clayton had been murdered.)
Tilda Swinton was good though.
I wonder if there is already a word which means to be overcome by the beauty of horses. There should be.

A while back I kind of hinted that I’d be having a go at Hollywood, as I am not a fan of the movies that emanate from that part of America. The problem is that I therefore never go and pay good money to see them, and nor do I have a DVD player (apart from in my computer). You can imagine then that I would have reacted with scorn when an ad for I am legend (film) caught my eye in today’s paper.
“A TRULY THOUGHT-PROVOKING BLOCKBUSTER” NUTS — there is a magazine called Nuts! NUTS is the nuts, I suppose.
That phrase THOUGHT-PROVOKING BLOCKBUSTER sounded like an oxymoron if ever there was one, but A O Scott’s view that the movie “does ponder some pretty deep questions about the collapse and persistence of human civilization” has got me interested — sounds just up my street. I might go and see it.
