What Swanky Things are you Watching? - Page 18

We watched 3/4 of Last Tango in Paris but got distracted by a discussion on the nature of sex, Sartre and sociology, which ended with us not watching the rest of the movie.

Ah, where have I been? 'AllyOfTheDolls'. I think though that I just think of you as one cool Ally Cat.

Oh, yes, the movie. *sigh* I didn't want to cry when we were watching it {I'd already done that big time over something else and I didn't want to make a repeat performance} but the next day, I was just thinking about it and I started to cry. Ah, yeah, we saw the deleted scenes and WOW I know why they deleted them! LOL And they were hot because, well, you know.

I do have the book and I am going to read it. Probably more than once.

UvaGirl, you will cry. It is sad but then it isn't. It is more beautiful than sad, I think. Made me look at that Hunk o' Hubster sitting next to me on the couch with a heart full of love. *sigh*

I think I want to buy it, too.

Oh, those love making scenes, definitely breathless and we had to turn down the volume. But WOW. I really can't explain too much or it will give it away. Not porn but beautiful.

We watched another episode of The Prisoner. I'd just love to see a two man show starring Patrick McGoohan and William Shatner. Both of them have such....distinct delivery styles.

Not Afraid · 02-15-2005, 04:40 PM

Did you get the rest of the set yet? Or rent it?

You'll have to start on The Avengers next.

This morning, I spend three hours in PJ's watching the Westminster Dog Show that I missed last night (damn East Coast feed). I may just start a thread.........

Ghoulish Delight · 02-15-2005, 04:41 PM

We have a disc from Netflix.

First two episodes of Farscape Season 2 (YES!)

Lon's The Phantom of the Opera. Some truly beautiful photography and set design. Plus Lon is fantastic. But the chick who played Christine was AWFUL.

MouseWife · 02-15-2005, 05:02 PM

My son just bought 'The Saw'. Is it really scary or gory?

I like scary, not gory. Anyone?

If you dig the Prisoner (or even McGoohan), y'all should know that costco has the A&E "Megasets" for an awesome price, including:

The Prisoner - the whole series - 79.99
The Avengers - The complete Emma Peel (she of mega-swank) - 99.99
Secret Agent - the whole series - 99.99
... plus other stuff like Python, Space:1999 etc

Secret Agent (aka Danger Man) is particularly cool because a pre-Prisoner PM plays secret agent John Drake. It's a cool show, along the lines of the Saint etc. What made it more interesting is that it's the only spy show (that I know of) where the lead character does not carry a gun, which was at the insistence of star PM. Although never explicitly stated, it's generally accepted that No. 6 is at least partly John Drake.

...and as for my viewing pleasure, I just came back from my local Best Buy clutching the director's cut of Donnie Darko (a little wary because I really enjoyed the mystery of the theatrical version), Angel Season 5 (because I'm a completist), and Ray (the last Best Picture nominee that I have to see) among other things. Not a very swanky selection, I admit. Maybe I'll pop in some 60's Michael Caine when I get home...

Cadaverous Pallor · 02-15-2005, 05:27 PM

mmm Donnie Darko...

innerSpaceman · 02-15-2005, 07:54 PM

oooh, I can't wait to get all gushy when The Notebook arrives in that little red envelope.

And I should totally rent Lon's Phantom to try and get the awful taste of that Lloyd Webber disaster movie out of my throat.

Drooool, Farscape! I should totally start renting those. Some friends of mine have been gathering on Thursday evenings for months, watching an episode or two at a time. I can't possibly make it for any of those, but I could always geek out by myself while I drool over Claudia Black and Ben Browder. Yum.

Oh, and the last thing I watched was Hero. I'd already seen in in the theater, but wanted to watch it again because it is such visual splendiferousness. It did not disappoint. Gorgeous, dreamy, trippy, fascinating film.
