My funny brother. I think I raised him right.
We were talking in email about the movie Billy Budd (1962), my beloved Terence Stamp's first film.
I said I thought it had a significant gay subtext.
mrghoul replied with the following:
Well, sure, it COULD be interpreted that way... But so could a lot of things that aren't necessarily gay. Like a ( Read more... ) -

It's been far, far too long since I posted about Terence Stamp. He broke my heart when he married a woman even younger than me, of course; but that doesn't matter much; I have still neglected him terribly!
I love this clip of him, describing what it was like to be "directed" by Fellini in the 1960s: terence_stamp, celebrities, images, crushes(Untitled)
We've been watching "The West Wing" on DVD; just finished the second season. I like it a lot, though I don't feel I must obsessively see every single episode in order, the way I am with a few other shows.

We had a booth at a medium-sized Celtic festival last weekend, and we have one at a very large Celtic festival this weekend, and there's piles of stuff to do between the two (i.e., now ( Read more... )(Untitled)
We've grown sick and tired of the useless chaotic shelving process (a million things are always out of place) and the total crap selection of the local video store. Netflix's unlimited plan is $17.99, only $3 more than the Hollywood Video unlimited plan. So we're doing the free 2-week trial, and got some movies that HV of course didn't have.

What with the new Star Wars movie out, it occurred to me I'd never seen either of the new ones. First let me say, yes I am a fan. I truly loved the first two, though Return of the Jedi, not so much. So, we rented Phantom Menace and whatever the second one is called. Haven't seen the second one yet, but I watched the first, and oh my god. That ( Read more... )
