Or Judi Dench. I could be friends with either. I think John prefers Helen Mirren.

Just a suggestion. You of course get to choose your own.

Do you have another British actress to add to our growing circle of friends? That’s the only requirement.

Can I come and be your char lady? I’ll cook, too. And read drafts of dissertations…as long as I don’t have to write another one myself!

Hey, you can be friends with Emma Thompson and I can be friends with Kate Winslet and we can all move to England (where John and I can both get our doctorates) and everyone will be happy.

I like it.

I agree that the movie isn’t nearly as good as the book. I think they had to really water down some of the blatantly anti-religion things to begin with if they had any hope of it being successful in the box office. (In the current religious climate (highly encouraged by our present-but-not-for-much-longer administration) you can’t have movies that are so strongly against the idea of God as the books are.) But I still love the movie because it’s just so beautiful to watch.

I love the books (you probably already gathered that from my posts). Not just the story itself, but I think the story telling is excellent. It helps that I’m pretty anti-religion myself, I suppose. And married to a Catholic of all things.
