Don't Dream It, Be It

Although borrowed from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", these are words for me to live by. Someone asked me, "Aren't you a little old to have such big dreams?" to which I replied, "Am I too old to be alive?"

I Love You, Peter Sellers!

I saw Stanley Kubrik's dark comedy, "Dr. Strangelove," over the weekend and thought it was fantastic! I was turned on to Peter Seller's movies after meeting actor Brent Spiner (Star Trek The Next Generation) some ten years ago. Seller's is most famous for his Inspector Clouseau role in "The Pink Panther" movies. Some of his other great films are "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas"," The Party", and "Murder By Death." I highly recommend any and all of Seller's films. I am also strangely turned on by Charlie Chaplin films. Of course, my boyfriend has caught on and loves this, so we watch a Charlie Chaplin film just about every weekend!

I am also a huge fan of the Cohen brothers. "Fargo" is also one of my favorite movies. I am on a "Big Lebowski" kick right now. I laughed so hard I could not breathe,when they mentioned the In and Out Burger in the film. "The Ladykillers" and "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" are also wonderful.

Another one of my favorite writer/directors is Sir Christopher Guest. I have loved all of his movies- "This Is Spinal Tap", "Waiting For Guffman", "Best In Show", and "A Mighty Wind." I think "Christmas With The Cranks" is his as well.

I didn't realize this would turn into a movie review, so sorry! I must start a new subject for my next topic, Paranoid. Later!
