Life for Lola

To the flea pit last night to see "The girl with the pearl earring". It was an absolute joy of a film visually but I found the story a bit leaden. To be frank I didn't like the star turn, I found her a bit too breathy and Colin Firth was Colin Firth so only seven out of ten from me. The ladyfriend lapped it up, she thought it was excellent. I urge you all to see it for the cinematography alone. I am rather partial for a bit of Vermeer take a look at this website. The film certainly gets the thumbs up for capturing the moment. In actual fact, it was a fabulous film - for the mother in law alone.

We went to see the film in Henley, the dolly at the box office said it was a good house. It was infact full of snotty middle aged women peppered with the occasional lone male. The whole place was clucking like a chicken shed through the adverts and trailers. The conversation was full of HRT this, botox that and sagging vaginas.......and that was just the men.
