What Swanky Things are you Watching? - Page 17

I also loved West Side Story. {I even took my chickie to see it on stage} But, I was raised, as well, on musicals. That could explain why I dance around my house singing while tending to the family? Well, babies love to be danced around and sung to so that worked well.

I didn't compare it to 'Romeo & Juliet' only because I hadn't seen R & J prior to WSS.

I went to see 'As You Like It' this weekend at the Weiss {not sure on the name} Theatre at UCSD {?}. It was great. If anyone, by any strange chance, was there, I was with my friend I brought to the Uva meet and the guy {I forget the names} came and sat on us during the play! So, that was us. Heck you never know...

Okay, I think it was Ally Cat who spoke of this movie, 'The Notebook'. I didn't think I would like it, I had a totally different impression of what it was about. That movie was awesome and a perfect pre-Valentines day movie.

Yay!!!!

That was me! I'm obsessed with The Notebook! Isn't it just the most swooniest, romantic movie ever? I highly recommend the book, too. It's different, but still just as wonderful.

I bought The Notebook & have only watched the alternate/deleted scenes so far! And I've watched the two alternate love scenes over and over. They were far more um, "revealing" (naked actors I love + me watching= one happy AllyCat), but HOLY COW were they sexy! I was one breathless viewing geek!

I'm so happy you enjoyed it!

I haven't watched The Notebook yet - I'm just a big wuss, because I've heard it's sad. Must get around to it.

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.

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.

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.........

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.

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...
