KQ's and my card from you arrived a couple weeks ago--thank you so much! In fact, yours was the first card we received this year. I sent one to you yesterday--honto ni gomen, it will not make it in time for Xmas but hopefully for the New Year.
Hollywood goes from Adjective-Noun titles and OneWordTitle, that I can never keep straight, to A/The X of Y, that I can't keep straight either. What happened to titles like Last Year at Marienbad or The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie?
Though possibly if the films were more memorable to start with, the problem wouldn't exist.
