...Flying Midgets. "I ended up in a circus too, and a flying one at that." In fact, his childhood was more Dickensian-poignant than Python-comic. In 1945, when Eric was two, his father died when coming home from the Army for Christmas; the car he'd hitched a ride in was hit by a truck. The family had few resources, so for a dozen years, from age seven, Eric was raised at the Royal Orphanage in Wolverhampton, an institution he describes as "bleakly Victorian." The school was bleak and chilly. "I was cold until I was nineteen," Idle recalled...
During the ride to the airport, Grove plays with his camera and talks about his plans for the next few days. He'll fly to D.C. and meet with Senators, members of Congress and a former Energy Secretary to discuss his ideas. All those parties acknowledge the need for energy independence, he says, but the political untenability of the cost stops them.

Lewis had Nellie branded with his initials, and she's now the pride...
...about he's lusting impotently after the girl down the hall (Charlotte Gainsbourg), who, adorably enough, has virtually the same name, Stephanie. He makes an imaginary metropolis for her (more abused cardboard), he converts a toy horse into a real one so they can have an idyllic dream ride through the countryside. Their relationship grows increasingly confusing to her, and increasingly irritating to us - or maybe I should say, "to me" since I am implacably resistant to the purely fantastic in movies, not excluding The Lord of the Rings. Needless to say the relationship, between Stephane and Stephanie remains, whether...
