Am I really a person? Are we sure that I’m not a ‘bot programmed by the resident genius, BJ? A figment of Robin’s imagination maybe?

lizzie, your comment reminded me, i have in fact met mr. merchant and have the photo to prove it. he was lovely and interesting and i was saddened when he died. i dig those pretentious english period pieces, so escapist. anyhow, i’ve added him to my list (i’m going about this in reverse, i have to meet them first, then i put them on the list, it’s a lot less exhaustive).
ps i thought this was patrick’s blog.

Who is Meryl Streep?

Liam Neeson — Rob Roy anyone?

(What Patrick actually wrote -
Snails and slugs are gastropods, which make up the largest class of mollusks with more than 60,000 species. Most of these species can be identified by their shells.

Did you know a garden snail named Archie, owned by Carl Branhorn of Pott Row, England, covered a 13 inch course in 2 minutes at the 1995 World Snail Racing Championships, held in Longhan, England?)

I’m standing firm on my assessment, Robin. I am as easily amused as they come, but that movie was impossible to watch. It drags on and on without telling either story successfully, and I gave not a crap about any of the characters. I’d put it up there with Howards End and The Remains of the Day in the category of ‘Pretentious Movies Set in England that Bored the Hell out of Me and Completely Failed to Tell a Story, Despite Having a Fantastic Cast and Plenty of Funding’.
I’m obviously allergic to Merchant/Ivory productions, and any movies with similar dander.

lizzie, darling, “the french lieutenant’s woman” need not be your favorite, but it is far, very far, from crap. i intend to rent “adaptation” on your recommendation this weekend. one other thing you may need to know about me, “i had a farm in africa…”

Annette, I always spell-check you’re work, except for this time. I try to make you look good.

It’s why I also write Patrick’s comments. That guy is SOOOO boring.

Lizzie, calling something other than “Howard the Duck” or the Bridget Jones sequel a crap movie is pretty harsh. Please rethink your position.

Ugh, French Lieutenant’s Woman is such a crap movie, I can’t stand it! But have you seen Adaptation? Not only is it one of Meryl Streep’s best performances, but it’s one of my all-time favorite movies!!

Meryl Streep is just way too amazing for words, and I love (almost) everything she does. She definitely deserves a spot on your top 30!!!

the arms rock. i would definitely put meryl streep on my list, penciling in as we speak, (saw “devil” this weekend, she was fab, i want every item of clothing she had on her back, including the coats, and i live in warm country, and the handbags, from someone who hasn’t changed her “purse” in ten years). of her many, many roles that have left me awestruck, i recommend everyone to “before and after”, a real “there but for the grace of god” story, and she and liam neeson (google it, patrick) are perfect.
ps robin, i know this is your blog, but can you pls. do a spell check on the postings, succh as mine (that was a test).
