I just found out that Ingmar Bergman died today.  He was 89 and lived a full life, but I am still sad.  He was a brilliant filmmaker, having made two of my most beloved movies, The Seventh Seal  and The Virgin Spring.

Rest in peace, dear sir.

Which movies of his have you seen? :)

[romance12006]

Höstsonaten which was INGRID Bergman's last film ever. However, I've known about Ingmar for a while before then because of his many Oscar nominations. He was very well respected in the industry. And I'm a total freak for the Academy Awards!! :)

Oh, shoot. I need to see that one!

I'm a nut for the Oscars, myself! I try to keep up with Cannes as best as I can, too.

I get so emotional about it, because I try to see almost all of the nominees for Best Picture. Actress is a big category for me, as well. I think I cried when Hillary Swank won for Boys Don't Cry. What an important movie, and she is the most amazing actress.

That was a great movie, Boys Don't Cry. But I think Charlize in Monster was amazing! And Daniel Day-Lewis, tieing himself into a knot to do My Left Foot! Best performances eva! :)

Ah, yes. I saw Monster the day it opened. :) Is Daniel Day-Lewis ever not amazing??

We have a huge projection screen and bad-ass audio setup in our basement, and you are invited to come over anytime and watch movies!!
