Uncle Ben says he got the PMs and he'll wait for the story... just don't forget, okay? :D

Hiya Uncle Ben,... how cute! I love it....Ok, I'm not feeling well tonight and I am bit too tired to tell you about that now. All in good time....:lol: If you are real good, I might show you a photo of me dancing; I only show my best friends those. I did like my elegant mother-of-the groom gown.

Figures - that's a guy for you! I am watching Sense and Sensibity tonight; I am the one with no sense!:lol: However, believe it or not, last night, I watched the war movie, Saving Private Ryan, so I got a super dose of blood-bath action. Actually, it was a very good film; better than I thought. I kept meaning to see it.

Ah, Annamariah, you have plenty of time. I was a late bloomer, myself, and sometimes now I think I am a nun! :lol: Thank God some on here kid around with me still.

Last night I looked forward to two things only: a good movie and a good sleep, but it got humid and I think that bothered me; so I didn't sleep well.

Well, I'm always trying to figure out which sister I am most like. I guess I came up with something in-between sense and sensibility. But when it comes to staying up too late, I definitely have no sense!

Saving Private Ryan: a true epic of the war genre

That really was a good film. I should write something up about it in the movie thread. I had forgotten Spielberg directed it; also, great a cast of actors. I thought the cinamotograpy was just great, too; had that documentary look to it. I also watched all the extra features; I always do! Love to see how films are made. So what did you watch last night? The Thin Red Line is another good war film. Also, the two latest war films by Clint Eastwood are excellent.

Like I've had a mug of caffiene despite the time being 2 am. I'm also waiting for this film to come on television in 10 minutes. :banana:

Quote:

[I Shot Andy Warhol]
I Shot Andy Warhol

In 1968, mad, radical-feminist genius Valerie Solanas shot pop-art icon Andy Warhol, seriously wounding him. This film traces her bizarre life leading to that moment, including the writing of her "SCUM Manifesto," which decrees males biologically obsolete.
Original title: I Shot Andy Warhol
Year: 1996
Director: Mary Harron
Cast: Lili Taylor, Jared Harris, Lothaire Bluteau, Martha Plimpton, Stephen Dorff

Yes, it's one of Fox's latest series. I don't watch that much TV either, but when I find a commendable series I just need to have it. TV series have the benefit of having more time to develop the details of a story. I'm one of those addicts to the seventh art and the like :D

Actually I don't pretend every finale to be a happy one, but lately most shows that I learned to love have ended in a sad way and it's getting rather like too much for my poor heart.... it's this feeling of having something stuck in the throat... :(

So you had a movie night with a classic. Last night I had a date with a classic too. I watched the first episode of "Airwolf" (a classical TV series of the 80s) which reminded me of a good time of my childhood. Back then, when I was a kid, it was broadcasted here on Saturday nights and I had never seen these episodes since then. Now I'm getting the whole seasons on DVD, which is the best option always, especially with classics hardly ever broadcasted nowadays :D

The only problem is that a dead teacher is not a very good teacher, and I need some good teachers to pass my courses and graduate. Paralyzing them just might work, though, they would still be able to teach, but their days of running away would be over :D (No, I'm not really a crazy and violent person at all! Really! :lol:)

Annamariah, you are too humble and modest. I love your sensitive drawings so much. Don't ever think that they are 'just drawings or sketches'. Michelangelo and Leonardo Davinci both did extraordinary drawings. I happen to see some at the National Museum in Washington years ago. I was so entranced with the technique of delicate pencil line; so very impressive. I think you have have great skill seriously. I have had a art college education and much more time to practice my craft. You have lots of time to develop yours. Don't abandon it as I have in recent years. I hope you can pursue art in some form because you are young and it's wonderful to have talent.

This is why I suggested to shoot sedative darts at them on the "School Bells" thread. Now I have it all figured at a body count of zero. No casualties at all, just prisoners :D

Oh yes, this is very much more than true. I remember what Leonardo used to reply when he was asked what he was doing, when he was doing nothing (visibly ;)) but staring at some form of material. He used to say "I am working"... and after some time people stared in wonder at the marvels he created. Who knows? We may have a gifted creator in our Anna :nod:

Anna, if you found you have a talent, then don't let it go. If you do, you will regret one day. It has happened to people I know, and they regret.

Oh yeah, I got side-tracked again and volunteered to be casting director in DanielBenoit's new Shakespeare Youtube production. Hey, Max, you are a ham, how bout joining in? If you don't have a video camera you can just recite you voice playing a role. I am casting director so I can find you a good part. We will make our own beautiful music (movie) together. :nod:
But seriously, I need to write up about 10 movies I have seen lately which were truly great. Right now I am watching this cool documentary on James Dean, directed by Robert Altman. Funny, I picked this cheap DVD up a long time ago, for a dollar, and it's really good. The-made-for-TV film, preceeding the documentary, was fairly good, but dated; but this b/w documentary is truly intriguing. What prompted all this was my recent viewing of East of Eden. It was incredible; ever see the film? I will get to writing them up next week. I am still not caught up on some very important email replies, which have to come first.

Seems that way. Not only crazy night owls but also we all appreciate art. You can view my artwork right in my album on my profile page. Just click on 'view all albums'....a lot of people don't realise I have about 6 albums of photos in there. I too have worked primarily in pencil and some pen and ink. Anna and my work are similar in that we both like delicate soft pastel pencil and linear elegant line.

Oh, I love long productions. I meant to ask you if you ever saw the miniseries Shackleton - about the Antarctic explorer. I love that series and researched extensively the real man and have read several books on him. He meet his ship in Buenos Aires; is that anywhere near where you live, Max? I am greatly interesting in that part of the world, especially since it's so close to Antarctica. I just bought the great nature film March of the Penquins, too. When I looked at my globe the other night I just realised how far south Argentina really was...wow, that is so cool!

I look more like an ancient warrior marked by the scars of many battles .... :lol: :lol:

You sound rugged.....are you the gladiator type? or a bull-fighter. How so with those scars? Are the interior or exterior scars?

Actually I don't pretend every finale to be a happy one, but lately most shows that I learned to love have ended in a sad way and it's getting rather like too much for my poor heart.... it's this feeling of having something stuck in the throat... :(

There really are a lot of open-ended shows of recent and they tend to leave a person with an uneasy feeling...they can be unsettling when watched right before bedtime, even sort of disturbing. I find I wake up thinking about the meaning of the ending. Those type endings are great and real and all but sometimes happy ending are more satisfying.

So you had a movie night with a classic. Last night I had a date with a classic too. I watched the first episode of "Airwolf" (a classical TV series of the 80s) which reminded me of a good time of my childhood. Back then, when I was a kid, it was broadcasted here on Saturday nights and I had never seen these episodes since then. Now I'm getting the whole seasons on DVD, which is the best option always, especially with classics hardly ever broadcasted nowadays :D

Airwolf - I never heard of it and I used to watch films and TV shows with my son from that era. It's so cool how we can get the old series on DVD's now. I buy the ones I really loved as a kid or the older films I liked in the 70, 80's, 90's. I watched House on the DVD set from my library since I don't have cable upstairs. I was curious to see what everyone was raving about. I did find it entertaining since I like Hugh Laurie. I also watched his family series in Britian of 40 Something. It too was great fun. I buy a lot of BBC dramas.

My dear Janine, I'll reply to your post tomorrow because tonight I'm just falling asleep on keyboard :D

Before I get off, I found three of Anna's drawings on the "Let out the artist in you" thread, being posts 81, 92 and 251. Later on I'll keep checking the rest of the thread. Anna, THOSE ARE PIECES OF ART and not just sketches, and I MEAN IT. I wish I could be capable of such demonstration of talent :nod:
