Five!

I’ve started watching Queen of the Desert, which I had never heard of before today.

The self-important Nicole Kidman is playing Gertrude Bell I mentioned earlier I was listening to her letters.

Werner Herzog directed it about 10 years ago.

It’s interesting so far, even Nicole.

I just saw this note, Elmore, from my library. They’re ordering Annabelle and Thatch.

“This title will be ordered. However, because we are unable to obtain it from our regular library suppliers, please allow 12-16 weeks for it to appear in the catalog. When it appears in the catalog, you will be able to place a hold.“

I am now about an hour into this movie and, well, it does great disservice to a great woman. Herzog doesn’t capture her bravery, intelligence, daring or revolutionary spirit. He defines too much of her life by romantic relationships, which take up only moments in her biography. In other words, he defines her by the men in her life and not on her own terms. A woman should have written and directed this.

But page five?

bk · « **Reply #130 on:** August 21, 2025, 10:55:00 PM »

Really?

bk · « **Reply #131 on:** August 21, 2025, 10:55:13 PM »

That's a little nutty.

bk · « **Reply #132 on:** August 21, 2025, 10:55:21 PM »

A little wacky.

bk · « **Reply #133 on:** August 21, 2025, 10:55:29 PM »

Not to mention tacky.

bk · « **Reply #134 on:** August 21, 2025, 10:55:50 PM »

Where's Bob Mackie?

bk · « **Reply #135 on:** August 21, 2025, 10:56:57 PM »

Or Nurse Jackie?

bk · « **Reply #136 on:** August 21, 2025, 10:57:22 PM »

Perhaps if I wear khaki.

bk · « **Reply #137 on:** August 21, 2025, 10:57:54 PM »

Or find a lackey.

bk · « **Reply #138 on:** August 21, 2025, 10:58:01 PM »

From Iraqi.

bk · « **Reply #139 on:** August 21, 2025, 10:58:52 PM »

Or maybe watch Boston Blackie.

bk · « **Reply #140 on:** August 21, 2025, 11:00:42 PM »

Must shave.

bk · « **Reply #141 on:** August 21, 2025, 11:14:13 PM »

Have shaved.

bk · « **Reply #142 on:** August 21, 2025, 11:14:23 PM »

bk · « **Reply #143 on:** August 21, 2025, 11:14:30 PM »

Page five.

bk · « **Reply #144 on:** August 21, 2025, 11:14:40 PM »

Crazy.

bk · « **Reply #145 on:** August 21, 2025, 11:14:47 PM »

And lazy.

bk · « **Reply #146 on:** August 21, 2025, 11:15:01 PM »

Not fresh as a daisy.

bk · « **Reply #147 on:** August 21, 2025, 11:15:18 PM »

A little hazy.

bk · « **Reply #148 on:** August 21, 2025, 11:16:38 PM »

Maybe they need some bolognese?

bk · « **Reply #149 on:** August 21, 2025, 11:17:28 PM »

They sure need something.
