VUBOQ went to the movies
(and a $25 all you can drink 5-8PM happy hour last night, but that's another story).
Carolyn, Kristen, and I met at 11:30 this morning in Scarylandia (aka Virginia) for a day at the movies. First, we watched Judi Dench in Notes on a Scandal. Twenty minutes after that movie, we saw Helen Mirren in The Queen. I thought Notes was a better, more interesting, more complex film. And, Judi Dench's performance was amazing. Helen Mirren's performance in The Queen was the only interesting thing about that movie. If you haven't seen either, I would recommend seeing Notes first. I would very much like to see Judi Dench win the Oscar, but -more than likely- Helen Mirren will carry the day. dang.
After the movies, Kristen went to pick up her husband, John, and we had sushi. Well, they had sushi. I had vegetable tempura. I am feeling all fat and bloated. I think I will spend the rest of the evening reclining on my sofa. Perhaps I will knit.

I love Dame Judi Dench!
ReplyDeleteI too would love to see Dame Dench prevail over Dame Mirren, but it's not gonna happen .. the fix is already in
ReplyDeleteI love Helen Mirren, and adore Judi Dench. I haven't seen either movie yet, but am looking forward to both.
