"When did Annette Bening turn into Annette Benign?"--Salon review of Open Range
Dreamed of being photographed riding a single horse with two other people(?); watching Bride of Frankenstein (which I have seen) on TV with someone who hadn't seen it.
Went to Suspect Video and rented some more videos.
Watched episodes 18-20 of Revolutionary Girl Utena. My favorite is the one with Wakaba foolishly getting involved with that creep Saionji. [She sent him a love letter, and he posted it on a bulletin board!]
Dinner was pork chops.
Saw the DVD of Gimme Shelter, the Maysles brothers' documentary of the Rolling Stones' disastrous Altamont Speedway concert (for the second time). Pretty disturbing. If you ask me, they needed a higher stage.
Saw the video of Fire Over England, a British movie about standing up to the Spanish Armada. (It was made on the eve of World War II, with all parallels strictly intentional.) Flora Robson had the role of a lifetime as Elizabeth I, but it was a precious production with rather cheesy direction. Laurence Olivier tried too hard.
