Yes, I am on a classic movie kick.

Sometimes when I look at how lush some 1930s movies were with their fancy elegant gowns and gorgeous black-and-white cinematography, it is almost a physical pleasure...

I mean, look at this:

Today's picspam of the day is courtesy of a silent stills website and is stills from a bunch of silent movies. I picked most because they had such delicious titles: "Changing Husbands," "Are Parents People?" (I've seen that one), "Her Body in Bond," "Putting Pants on Phillip," and "Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Model ( Read more... )

I have been reading two Latina chick-lit books both of which are delightful.

I've been rather neglectful of LJ lately. What with being exhausted, various RL commitments and similar, less lj time for me. Am sorry :)

First off, I finished Nodame Cantabile. It's not the kind of drama I have a lot (or any) meta for, but it was a great deal of fun. Two pet peeves: (1) whoeverplayed Straseman. I want to drown him. There is fun ( Read more... )

Eeek! I really really want to watch the 1998 Russian adaptation of the Dumas novel La Dame De Monsoreau (one of my all time favorite books, and yes, I do own the 1970s French miniseries based on it.

I am totally addicted to this. What is it? The official website for Farah Khan's upcoming Bollywood flick Om Shanti Om, starring *gleeful sigh* Shahrukh Khan.

I adored their previous collaboration, Main Hoon Na beyond words and so would anticipate this eagerly in any event, but knowing that this is an affectionate tribute/spoof/inspired-by combo ( Read more... )

One good thing about jet lag (I went to bed at 6:30pm, probably for the first time since I was four years old)? I get up equally early. I was up before 6am, thus giving me plenty of time to watch Why Why Love ep 11. Which I duly finished and SQUEEEEEE!

Seriously, this is INCREDIBLE. It's that weirdly rare drama where it getsbetter with each single ( Read more... )

I am leaving today to go on vacation to Scandinavia and won't be back until next Sunday. Net time will probably non-existent when I am there, so this is one large catch-all post ( Read more... )
