I saw Queen of the Desert on the plane ride home from UK (not much to choose from). I was interested enough to look up the book when I got home, but must say that this was not Kidman's best performance by a long shot. Skip the movie, read the book.

I go every week after volunteering in it's concession stand. I sit alone but everyone in the theater is someone I know so I have the best of both, alone for the film itself but friends to discuss it with. I loved this film and would go to see Patricia Clarkson read the phone book.<br />CheersPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702753521139060960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-79197858301227848962016-06-14T10:18:15.762+00:002016-06-14T10:18:15.762+00:00Two of my favourite films have Clarkson in - The S...Two of my favourite films have Clarkson in - The Station Agent and Welcome to Collingwood.

Not too keen on SIR(!) Ben. The only time he really impressed me was as.....(yes, you guessed it).... Ghandi.<br /><br />I've always preferred to go to the cinema alone, though knowing no one else it's the only option I have nowadays. But, like you, after the film is over I do also long to discuss it with someone - ANYone! Maybe that's precisely the need that the blogs supply for both you and I.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-66734504645373164232016-06-14T07:15:35.103+00:002016-06-14T07:15:35.103+00:00Were you wearing a mac?Were you wearing a mac?Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-6619857441234657692016-06-14T06:06:47.348+00:002016-06-14T06:06:47.348+00:00Tom's beaten me to it - the poor woman probabl...Tom's beaten me to it - the poor woman probably thought you meant Jeremy !Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-33848846181493497062016-06-14T02:20:51.870+00:002016-06-14T02:20:51.870+00:00I really enjoyed watching "Learning to Drive....I really enjoyed watching "Learning to Drive."
