JeanneP, I wish I could help you out, but your description doesn't ring any bells for me. I do remember the others -- Carolyn, Octavia, Roshanarose, and of course, Gumtree.
Thanks for bringing me up to date on Judy Dench and James Bond. And if I do watch Skyfall, MaryPage, it'll be from Netflix and not anything I buy.
Speaking of Netflix, on the news this morning their stock is skyhigh today. In Sept. it was $53 a share, and now it's over $200. Oh shucks, another missed opportunity.
Two of my girls were visiting over the weekend, so I didn't have a chance to watch Miss Jean Brodie until last night. Loved it, and of course, Maggie Smith was just great. And the rest of the cast too, as Rosemary mentioned. I didn't recognize any of the other names of the cast, but especially liked Sandy, Mary McGregor, and Miss Gaunt. I kept looking for the Maggie Smith of Downton Abbey, but really couldn't find her. I forget when the film was made, but I loved the large group scenes, the school scenes especially.
When my girls were here we watched
Babel (Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, and a host of others) that I've seen about three or four times and always try to force on others. ANd
The Hurt Locker -- great directing (K Bigelow), but the film really didn't do anything for me. If I had been watching it by myself I would not have finished it.
Rosemary, isn't it part of a mother's job to drive her children nuts?
