You lost me in referring to a form of letters other than those I had attached to the tasteless entrance of a shrine to unfettered greed. In many ways the occupant has much in common with Arab oil princes. Loads of dosh but without the slightest imagination to do other than slavishly copy each other. Marble palace? Check? Cars? Check? Gold bath taps? Check. Watch? Check. Mean as hell with it? Check. Grand delusions of self importance? Check. Yawn? Check...

PS. I thought Zooey Deschanelle's delightful portrayal of Trillian was very moving but highly improbable. ;-)
