Okay, I've been really busy! And I'm in a bad 70's music mood - right now I've got Claire playing by Gilbert O'Sullivan. It's a new low everyday people!
Rented and watched In Bruges this weekend...when Colin Farrell puts his mind to it he can act, and act really well. Brendan Gleeson is his usual great self, and it's nice to see Ralph Fiennes be a rather nasty man, but with a small touch of honor. Dunno what I'd rate the film, I'm still thinking about that - I would recommend it but only if you like quirk.
Thank the TCM Gods a thousand times - September has Kay Francis as the featured actor! I've got a whole list of films to tape and watch ready, and I have a pretty good Kay library as it is. There's some really good stuff here for the first time Kay viewer, including Man Wanted, One Way Passage (very under rated film, great love story), and Doctor Monica. Then we have Carole Lombard in October which is a treat, a lot of her pre-codes I don't have yet. The one film I would like to see that isn't on the schedule is Supernatural, the poster for which is all sorts of awesome. Enough of that though, Kay is first and foremost my Pre-Code Queen, and she has the flicks to back that up.
I was watching Westward The Women this afternoon...I love that line where the one cowpoke says to the other after hearing about how the women will shoot the men if they get to close "They must be great!" Hell yeah, they must be - thank you Mr Wellman, and if they re-make that film I'll shoot somebody...it's perfect as it is.
