Out of curiosity, have you read the book? It is one of my favorites and as a result I couldn't really stand the movie (I know, I should view them as separate things but it has just enough of the book in it that I couldn't do it).

Have not. Perhaps I should.

We watched "Laura: last night. Gene Tierney was fantastic as the title character in this wonderful film. I've been in such a Noir mood lately and this film fit the mood perfectly.

Seeing Vincent Price in the "stud" role was fun and different from the Price I was used to. Dana Andrews was great as the brooding detective (even though I couldn't help singing the RHPS tune) and Judith Anderson (who will always be Mrs. Danvers to me) was supurb as Laura's Aunt.

I may be going on an Otto Preminger kick.

Yeah, Laura definately stands the test of time. this was the first time I saw it and was captivated from the beginning - love the Noir elements as well as all the swanky set decorations.

I just watched 'Gosford Park' on DVD. Love it. It's chock full of Clive Owen goodness. The film's not for everyone but the cast is stellar.

I went to a drive in double feature last night and saw X3 and The Sentinel.

X3 I had seen before, but stayed for the whole credits this time. Damn those directors and their teasing.

By the time The Sentinel started I was pretty tired, I liked it, but only thought it was ok.

Assuming that is Kyle Minogue in the video I hav eto say she doesn't do much for me. Her face kind of looks like someone punch Nicole Kidman in the face a few times. Or Conan did an "if they did it" segment with Sheryl Crow and Nicole Kidman.

I still enjoy watching this video on a loop.

Alex, was the above post in response to the video link posted in the 'If I was straight' thread? Just wondering.......

Alex · 06-04-2006, 09:05 PM

Whoops, yes.

wendybeth · 06-04-2006, 10:36 PM

Heh heh....I do that all the time.

Btw, no way Eric gets to see your video- we'll end up with all sorts of power tools that he has no clue how to use.
