Oh wow, lucky!! Totally envious.(y)

She came to Screamfest in Orlando a couple years ago. I went solely to see her and to attend the midnight showing of RHPS (which she was MCing). It was the first time I had ever been to a midnight show! I'd only ever seen RHPS on the small screen at home. Next week will be my 4th live RHPS experience. A couple weeks ago, my college put on a production of Richard O'Brien's original stage show. It makes the movie look rated "G." :eek: :eek:
 
A new one... I don't typically change my desktop this often, but I just saw this film a few hours ago. Les Bonnes Femmes by Claude Chabrol. It's incredible--really moving stuff. And I can't get my mind off it. So... I found this lovely still from the film and here it is:

That is one of my favorite films. Our theme for prom was "As Time Goes By," so I had all my friends watch it with me, and they didn't like it. I was very disappointed.

But it was a great prom. They had Casablanca playing on a giant screen, and Rick's Cafe Americain set up in another corner. I had a great time.

Always irks me when people say, "Play it again, Sam."

That line is never in the movie. :(

As far as Bogey goes, I'm more of a Maltese Falcon person I think. I just love all of those snappy comebacks.

My husband likes Bogey and will watch anything he's in.

I'm more of a Jimmy Stewart fan. My favorite? Fievel Goes West! (that last part is a joke).
 
Ah, Time Goes By....


...gonna get on downloading the Casablanca soundtrack. It'd be a nice addition to Blackfield, Scott Walker and Joy Division.

That also drives me crazy!

As far as Bogey's film noirs go, though, I think I enjoy The Big Sleep more, although I know that The Maltese Falcon is a far superior film. The only thing that really bothers me about The Maltese Falcon is that Mary Astor's character, Brigitte O'Shauggessy, is supposed to be a "knockout," as the secretary describes her, and to be honest, Astor is rather plain looking. Not ugly, but not quite "knockout" material. I think perhaps a different actress, and I would love it. Just one of those little things that bothers me.

But this isn't really the thread for that.

Yeah, no. It's not Madonna.

I said she's not an actress... well she's not. Though she did direct one short film and star in it. And get this... it's a musical. Madonna was at least to that degree on the right track. ;)

Ah heck then. Just thought I'd try something. You can't win if you don't take any chances.

Haha, when you said "she's not an actress," I instantly though Madonna too.

I have no idea who she is.

But I love your new desktop nezobiwan. Where'd you get it?

Also, I just realized that "obi wan" was part of your screenname. I've been thinking of you as nezo-bi-wan, which didn't make any sense.

I just noticed the same thing about 10 minutes ago! Very bizarre...



Any rate, I figure no one will get it... it's a picture of Kate Bush. The photo was taken for her first album, The Kick Inside... here's the actual album cover...

I guess I could have made it more obvious with capitalization "NezObiwan." But you guys being in the dark for so long is more fun. :D Haha!

I downloaded it from the official site. They have a bunch of other ones too. But Bill Nighy is my favorite. :)
The full version of "Christmas is All Around" is hilarious. (y)
