Last Chance Harvey

I realise that none of you knew I was going to see Last Chance Harvey, because I didn't know myself until this afternoon, but I still think that SOMEONE could have let me know, perhaps in a kindly email, that in this film Emma Thompson gets stood up. I do not cope at all well with people being stood up, least of all people as brilliant as Emma Thompson, and I did not cry at all quietly. Emma Thompson wasn't upset, Emma Thompson merely accepted it as her inevitable due which was frankly one of the most tragic things ever to happen on any size of screen. Oh god. That aside (as if you could ever put something so horrible aside), it was still a pretty bad film.

ETA: I tried to put this behind a cut but it didn't work. Meh.
