"If we had monkeys in Scotland, we'd probably deep-fry them!"--The Last King of Scotland
Dreamed of a 1964 remake of The Grapes of Wrath with the Joads in a ritzy condo(!) and Catherine Deneuve as one of the daughters; an ancient Chinese battle in which the forces of the Han Dynasty founder attacked their opponents with flaming arrows and made their baggage train explode because the people who should have put out the fire ran away.
Saw The Last King of Scotland at Canada Square. (I used the coupon they gave me because of technical problems at the Chinese opera cinemacast.) Forrest Whittaker was brilliant, while the movie started out funny but ended up dreary, like the real-life story. (Here's a tip: when in Uganda, don't cuckold Idi Amin.)
Donald came over for dinner, which was churrasco chicken.
