Kenneth Branagh as Cyrano! Tom Hiddleston as Christian!
Cyrano is the genius with the gigantic nose. Christian is the handsome dolt whom Cyrano helps to win Roxanne, the woman Cyrano loves.

Movie #58: L’Auberge Espagnole. We thought we’d cheer ourselves up during our house arrest by watching the trilogy by Cedric Klapisch starring Romain Duris: The Spanish Apartment, Russian Dolls, and Chinese Puzzle.
We fell asleep.
Movie #59: The Immigrant by James Gray, starring Marion Cotillard, Joaquin Phoenix, Jeremy Renner. A full review coming up. Warning: Do not watch this movie while recuperating from an illness, it’s intense. As always, Joaquin is terrifyingly good.
First movie we saw in the cinema post-virus: The Edge of Tomorrow starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, written by Christopher McQuarrie et al and directed by Doug Liman. We love it but related to Tom Cruise’s character so much: just as he kept dying and waking up, we kept falling asleep and waking up. It wasn’t the movie’s fault—we couldn’t sleep the previous night because our left rib still hurts from the 2D echocardiogram they did at the hospital. (Apologies to our seatmates in case we were snoring or sleep-talking, which we sometimes catch ourself doing.) The tech really crushed our rib cage; she must not have found our heart.
So we’re watching The Edge of Tomorrow again today.

Aaargh, we’ve been described as “incoherent” and “non-responsive”. Even if we had brain fever at the time, we don’t like it. So ask us a question, any question, in Comments from today till Sunday and we’ll post the answer as an mp3.
Tina says “brain fever” sounds like we caught something during an archaeological expedition in Victorian times and have to check into a sanatorium in Baden-Baden or Davos where we sit looking at the mountains with a blanket on our lap…while agents from British Intelligence pass us notes.

Thanks for posting your questions! Turns out we are incoherent and disorganized, but that’s our normal level of incoherence and disorganization.

On Monday the 26th the thing I feared the most came to pass. My brain developed a glitch so I could not understand anything. People were talking to me, but my vocabulary had vanished. When friends said “Hello” at the hospital, I could only reply like a cartoon pirate: “Arr.”
I remember regaining consciousness on the floor of the shower and thinking I was late for a 4:30 appointment. It must’ve been past 6 pm. I threw on a shirt dress, which I am later told was on backwards, and looked for a pair of shoes to wear. For some reason this was exhausting, so I left the house wearing flip-flops. Already I had a notion that something was wrong: I never leave the house in tsinelas.
