Watched The Favourite this weekend with Emily.  I liked it but she HATED it. :hmm: (yes, I know it is full of historical inaccuracies)

Why did she hate it?

She mainly complained about how the ending was "so stupid".

I agree. Could you believe they would get rid of Marlborough after he nearly won the war? Ridiculous.

As an aside, isn't Winston Churchill a descendant of Rachel Weisz's character? :hmm:

Oh.  Makes sense as I know the Spencers are related to the Churchills.

:huh: Elaborate.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

As in it just sorta ended.  I take it you don't agree?  Neither do I.  I liked it (including the ending).

I was glad to see something set in the early 18th century, not really a time period explored in movies about England usually, but was really sad they didn't have Prince George in it (having died before the movie stated) as I think he was super cool.

I think one of the criticisms of the film was that Prince George WAS alive for most of the supposed timeline of it?

One of the nicest people to ever be a Royal and not be brutally murdered for it and he barely got mentioned. I was sad.

Yeah, in fact Sarah's lack of sympathy when he died was a major cause of their rift, but then the filmmakers make no attempt to claim historical accuracy.

yeah, I'm still waiting for the historical movie were Montcalm pushes back the English to England and takes the fight over there.  :(
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.
