I almost forgot about posting today. It’s late, and I want to go to bed, so this will be short. John and I just watched The Remains of the Day, and we’re not quite sure what to make of it. I enjoyed it, but I wasn’t prepared for how it ended. I feel like I missed something. That’s not exactly right; I don’t think I missed anything. It feels like there was something missing. But I love Emma Thompson. And she looks so young in this movie!
I just checked out IMDB. She was 34 when this movie came out (and I think she looked young. That’s a good indication of how I feel about my impending birthday, right?), and she’s only 50 now. I thought she was older. AND she’s married to the guy who played Willoughby in Sense and Sensibility. I wish she were with Kenneth Branagh, but since I can’t have that fantasy, at least I can be happy knowing she snagged a very good-looking Austen character. 🙂

I was dismayed when they got divorced. Especially after seeing an interview with her where, in answer to a question about what it was like working with her husband all the time, she said something along the lines of “how can you get tired of working with your best friend?”
I confess, I’m more of a Kenneth Branagh fan than an Emma Thompson fan though.
Have you seen Stranger Than Fiction?

I LOVE Stranger Than Fiction. Also loved Dead Again.
