calumfanHappy Tuesday!
I’m feeling extraordinarily random today and want some pic!spams so stay tuned after my ramblings for the hotness. (Or skip down to it, you know, whatever lol.)
1) I finished watching "The End of the Affair" last night; it was a truly beautiful movie. Not only was the acting superb but the storyline especially at the end was fabulous.
-It’s a story of love, jealousy, devotion and faith, although the religious undertones do not beat you about the head.
-Of course while watching it, Hubby was in the room and flat out said (during one of the numerous graphic love scenes) "Is this a freaking porno??" He never fails to make me laugh.
2) Speaking of the aforementioned movie above, I’ve decided to read the novel from which it was based.
-I find the writer Graham Greene fascinating. His early works were known for their Catholic undertones although he did not live his life according to the faith.
-This little tidbit intrigued me the most as found on Wikipedia:
He supplemented his novelist's income with freelance journalism, book and film reviews for “The Spectator” and co-editing the magazine "Night and Day" which folded in 1937 shortly after Greene's film review of "Wee Willie Winkie" featuring nine-year-old Shirley Temple, cost the magazine a lost libel lawsuit. Greene's review claimed that Temple displayed "a certain adroit coquetry which appealed to middle-aged men"; it is now considered one of the first criticisms of the sexualisation of children for entertainment.
-My boss and I had been discussing this exact topic today because she had a very young daughter and I have a step daughter who just reached teenage status. There is a certain innocence that I had at this age that is gone today.
3) I’m training in another department today after lunch. Heaven help me, I’ll be away from my PC. *cries*
4) I really wish my leg would stop vibrating under my desk. I haven’t even had that much caffeine today.
5) This Promo picture owns my soul. It’s absolutely gorgeous on an artistic level to me. So much emotion and meaning transpires here:
6) On with the important stuff, the pic!spam’s!! I am dedicating these to some of my favorite lovely ladies on my F-list.

Date: 2008-06-03 10:54 pm (UTC)I hope you have or are planning on watching it. The film is brilliant and damn Alan is sexy! I can't wait for the new Harry Potter film, I'm very excited about it and I do hope they have more Snape in this one.
The End of the Affair is a beautiful film. I saw it a few years ago when it originally came out...back when I was going through my Ralph Fiennes phase. He's a gorgeous man although his very short fingers creeped me out a bit. It's a very sad film as well, I was so heartbroken when she made the promise to never see him again if he was spared after the bombing. Although, Ralph's character was far too selfish in my opinion and I'm glad that no excuses were made for him, he is who he is. If you liked that one you should check out Sunshine. Ralph Fiennes delivers what I believe to be a brilliant performance and the movie is very epic, I think it's in two parts because it's so long.
You'll love it, since you get one actor but three roles as he takes on portraying three different men in three different generations.

Date: 2008-06-03 11:50 pm (UTC)I will watch it soon I hope, I just haven't had time to myself and the computer to watch it.
You know, i didn't even notice his hands. Like Hugh's are so long and aristocratical where Alan's are shorter and more working class. So Ralph's are mutated??
I also liked how they didn't completely change the character. I will have to add that other film t my list.
Is it wrong that I wanted to jump The Priest, Father Smythe? Jason Isaacs triggers the 17 year old girl in me!
