On the appeal of older men to younger women: Look at Roosevelt, look at Churchill, look at old fella what's his name in The African Queen.
--- Lauren Bacall in How To Marry A Millionnaire
WAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Gets me every time. Best line in that movie evah! And aaahh, no one walks into a wall as beautifully as Marilyn. Comic goddess. But god I love Schatze --- is that really how you spell her name? goodness! I was thinking Shotsie, always --- love the towering arrogance of her and yet the tenderness and argh, she really is that wounded lionness, isn't she?
One day I should Bacall!fest.
What brought this on? Bollocks knows.
Oh wait. Yeah, Brick's out on DVD and the Awesome Alternative Video Store had it on and the stoner scene had just begun so I went "awwwww I love this scene" to which the pretty Placebo fangirl behind the counter went "oh, is this good?" She received a bug eyed look of passion and some spittle when I went "Are you kidding? It's brilliant! But you can't have it on and do other stuff, you won't get it. You'll miss heaps of shit."
Usually when I deliver advice like that from on high, it gets suitably ignored. So colour me startled when she said "oh, really? Okay, I'll stop it and put something else on. Thanks!"
And I'm like "Shyeah! Joseph Gordon-Levitt? I'm there!"
Which, um, I now realise is a bit of a non-sequitur. But I'd forgotten how utterly gorgeous he looks wif the curls and the glasses and the monosyllabic Aquarian noirish moodiness prone to sudden outbursts of violence yumminess. And yes I realise I say this even with two Brick icons at my disposal. It would also explain why I just dreamt about him and Elijah Wood making out. *blinks* Bloody anysexual Aquarians.
Mind you, never did care for Bogie when he wasn't paired with Kate the Great. Awwww Charlie Allnutt, I love your stubbly face and alcoholic ways.
I am a bloody non-sequitur. Prolly misspelt, too. *snort*
