I also recommend, “Brooklyn.” The film doesn’t dwell on it, but it shows how many institutions were available to folks then, and how common it was for people to assist one another. The ethnic club dances, the Parrish priests on both sides of the Atlantic, her co-workers and boss, her landlady (and the very concept of a boarding house). Both her and her paramours sense of duty to their families, and theirs to them…

We have so much less community now.

Saoirse Ronan is not only a very good actress; based on her performance on various talk shows she’s also a pretty smart one, with a slightly wicked sense of humor.

So maybe her dress was intended to look funny.

I skipped the Oscars, as usual, but I like looking at the dresses the next day. Apparently not that many actresses know how to dress themselves, despite considerable advantages of beauty and fortune. Only rarely do they look as good as they obviously can when a competent wardrobe specialist takes the job on. Zellweger was an exception, showing off some serious gym work, too.

Neo: I believe her name is Wiig, not Whig. (Although in our overly-politicized era, “Whig” may be coming back…)

I really like that mushroom dress. (Perfect for Hallowe’en…unless someone—at Yale U., for example—sorely objects to humans dressing up as fungi…)

Very organic. Very back-to-nature. The wearer just sprouts right out of it. Beautiful!

And it’s practical! (You don’t need a napkin when you go to, say, one of those buffet restaurant places. That thing’ll catch everything. Just search the folds to find what you dropped and pop it back into yer mouth. No food wasted!! No forests cut down to make paper napkins!!)

And protective! (That is, if it’s made of some harder material, say jute or fiberglass or something. Because who knows when you’ll need to keep presumptuous movie producers at bay? At least it’ll give you enough time to whip out the pepper spray, that is, if you want to).

True, the color scheme is a bit wonky, but you can’t have everything.

Yep, one great dress.
