DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND. My reactions to “The Lady Eve,” in chronological order:

1. before seeing the movie: Eh, these old fun flicks are never quite as fun for real as they are in your head.
2. seeing the movie: Hee hee!
3. ditto: Haw haw haw! Barbara Stanwyck, you’re cellophane!
4. ditto: Awwww. Ohh, so sweet. C’mon don’t mess this up!
5. ditto: Oh ick. Is that really what we’re supposed to think she saw in–
6. ditto: Oh, brilliant, much better. Yay for Barbara Stanwyck!
7. ditto: Hee hee, awww, heh heh heh.
8. aftermath: Ratty might like this one a lot.

Hooray for Netflix.
