Hahaha! I'm really running out of princess points! I'm powering down!! First The Hot Chick, then The Women!

How can I gain any points back? Your'e a tough crowd!

I own Dr. Strangelove on DVD and have seen it many times. Awesome! A Clockwork Orange, however, is my least favorite movie on the planet. Too visually disturbing, even now. Malcolm McDowell, however? Yummy, villainous stuff.

Oh, golly, what else? I own Casablanca....but, um, I've never seen it or watched it.

Or, as my Dad says sarcastically & with much disappointment as I tell him of never having seen Casablanca, "I'm sure you can name all the members of N*SYNC, though". And with eyes totally rolling.

<-- (AllyOops!'s Dad, if he were yellow with a Beatle wig sans mustache.)

"No, Dad. I (Justin, Lance, Chris, Joey & JC) cannot."

And with that, the "princess" was laid to rest for all eternity.

Upon doing some googling, it sounds like a movie that would be right up my alley, er.."Ally".

Ally,
if you have access, please watch it.

It would mean soemthing totally different to you than you expect.
Its funny to be watching the older ideas of propriety and such and have a cat fight.
I never found it all that funny, and I know many do.
But its a lovely film. There are some fab gowns and coats, and all sorts of things...

Sounds like I need to have a screening of 'The Women' at my house... or at Chernabog's.

Wait til I'm in town! I have not seen it this month!

I've never seen the Women either. Hmm guess I need to hit blockbuster on the way home.

Ditto.

And I need to write down the titles of movies that I catch a glimpse of but missed the beginning, the end, or both.

A movie that looked great~ Judy Dench {oh, I just Googled it, wahoo!!}:

'Ladies' In Lavender'. 2004

Tagline:The story of two sisters who saved a stranger, and the stranger who stole their hearts.

Plot Outline:Two sisters befriend a mysterious foreigner who washes up on the beach of their 1930's Cornish seaside village.

What little I saw I fell in love with. If anyone sees this, their house is where I'd love to live. And die. {well, naturally, not like a horror flick, okay?}

wow... even I've seen The Women.

Ladies in Lavender. It's not a perfect film, but it is wonderful. It's like spending a little time with two wonderful ladies.
I wish I was that boy.

I also wish I was the girl who gets him.

He was good looking, wasn't he? The woman who gets him, is it the lady they show painting? I didn't get to watch any further than that but I did see, in one scene, a lady painting.

I think it was wonderful, too. I looked ideal.

I thought of myself and my sisters {any of them} when we are old. Damn, I wish we got along that well.

I always think of getting old. Once two sisters and I were cruising up to L.A. in my old Buick, singing and laughing, all of us in the front seat. Then, we look over, and there, in this old Fairmont {?) are three old women, all in the front seat of their car, singing and laughing. What a trip, what a look in to the future.

I saw The Women at Theater 80 St. Marks in the NYC. It was a great little revival house that has since been turned back to a live theater space - much better than condos. It's a great experience to see it with a catty gay crowd - kinda like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Like RHPS, you could easily watch it on your own on DVD - but you'd be missing out.

Speaking of watching something on your own - I just viewed David Lynch's Inland Empire. Would anyone care to discuss/dissect it with me?
