Reservations are for the common folk!

So true! If you've seen Oceans 12 (possible spoiler if you haven't), the scene at the end says it all. 'Tess' pretends to be Julia Roberts to get the royal welcome at the Italian museum, despite security issues. They go all out with fresh flowers and greeters, etc., while the hoi polloi waits outside in a long line to be screened.

Yes, I saw Oceans 12. We had considered boycotting it, but Pres Bush won, and we had been looking forward to it. It wasn't as good as Oceans 11, imho. And the parts where Clooney is at the Italian villa, well it was art imitating life, because of the villa he 'bought' from Kerry (aka Kerry unloading wealth so he can try to appear like the common man).
