      Wait, I think I just described 'V for Vendetta'. How about Gina Frangello's 'My Sister's Continent?

      The british accent drives me crazy with passion for the women and berserk toward the men. I wonder if british women simply adore the male midwest accent. I have friends in England. I think I might take a boat ride. To the point, Keira Knightley has exceptional skills (I'll disagree with Umm's "Furthermore...") and opine upon her as an actress. She is in congress with breath-taking in performance yet all her roles have been cast from a sidelong POV, as if we should love her from afar, and I think it's time for Britainia to allow the World a good looksee into her imagination. Anything outside Cuchulainn, some contemporary reality will do, and preferably artsy - a script with which she has a kindred frame of mind along the lines of Julia from 1984, except serious.

      Monstrose's comments are disgusting considering how young this lady is and how old Charlie Rose is. Furthermore, she's a bit annoying and I don't see what all the fuss is about. Is it the underbite? Or the lispy charm?

      I loved the book and the movie looks chocolate box pretty - but I have to say that the silly scene with the Duchess making a feminist comment while the Duke is cutting off her frock is so campy as to kinda ruin the thing for me (much as I adore Ralph and admire Keira) On the other hand, I loved Sofia C's "Marie Antoinette" so maybe this will make me laugh, too. I hope someday somebody can make a movie that takes a hard look at the times both women lived in and the suffering of the masses while they ran up frock and gambling bills - and put the pretty gowns in context. Maybe a little "Marie meets Le Miz"would suit me better.

      I would like to endorse Mr. Montrose-Graem's comments: are we all watching and wondering how Charlie really feels as he interviews these enchantresses? Charlie has a job made in heaven. I can't wait for Isis's film to be made.

      P.S. a refreshing change from neo-con ideology and spin that dominates our airwaves as of late.

      A very pleasant interview. She is a charming and attractive actor that is getting better as she goes. Thank you Charlie.

      A beautiful fascinating woman always seems to bring the best out of you, Charlie. Keira to-night was no exception.

      {Occasionally I have the fantasy of occupying your skin and reacting the same way to beauty as you do. At another level I'm envious you have created for yourself the opportunity to meet and intercourse with such memorable ladies. Yet at another level I fantasize a scenario in which you meet the love of your life on just such an occasion. Yet another level I can see my daughter Isis - getting a degree in film-making later this year - creating a movie about your romance I dreamed up.\
