My drawing passes the Bechdel test

To pass the test:

1. It has to have at least two women in it

2. Who talk to each other

3. About something besides a man

Best way to end it is with a favorite thing

The Cosby Show is that thing

Around the holidays

I get excited

I like to play

Which includes

ALL of this

Coloring

Painting

Walking

Putting things together

Just doing me.

Happy happy

Yeh I said It!

Not

I probably am not going to see this movie (Hobbit) but I like Peter Jackson's eyes and the Vlog is interesting

He and Andy Serkis directed

It looks as if it will be a cinematographic success.

However the story looks boring to me.
The Vlog was good and I like to see the production aspects of everything. But the story?
Eh

However do you want me. How?

Watching White Teeth (Zadie Smith) was among the best things of this year.

Here it is

Let's break it down

Like So...

And so

The Peculiar Second Marriage of Archie Jones,

The Temptation of Samad Iqbal

The Trouble With Millat

and The Return of Magid Iqbal.

All good,

All seriously entertaining

Too bad after all this time haven't read the book.

But it was wonderful seeing Naomie Harris, James McAvoy, Sarah Ozeke and Archie Panjabi together...

Gentle as raindrops

I
Love

THIS
Song

There's somethin' that I know I shoulda told you
Somethin' that's growin' every day
Whether or not
I say it a lot
I'm down with you in every single way
Gonna be days when you are lonely
And people will say they got no time
When you're alone
Call me on the phone
Baby, you always got mine

And when the wind blows
Baby don't cry just remember my words

Chorus:
Bably love
Gentle as raindrops fallin' in June
Pretty as sunshine and flowers that bloom
Bably love
Long as you're happy, I'm happy too
It's a delight
You're in my life
Baby love, baby love
You got a glow that just surrounds you
When I'm with you I'm shining bright
Honey it's true
I love the way you do
And I could tell you every night
You're so lovely when you're laughin'
It makes my day to see you smile
Didn't you know
When you play in the snow
You set my winter on fire

And when the wind blows
Baby don't cry just remember my words

Baby love
Gentle as raindrops fallin' in June
Pretty as sunshine
And flowers in bloom
Baby love
Long as you're happy, I'm happy too
It's a delight
God gave you life
Baby love

Adore

I like getting letters in the mail...

Every time we all surprise each other and send something or we receive something there is a massive texting session afterward! lol!

Still love Viggo

From The New York Times
A Viggo interview.

Longing for immortality: “I’m not afraid of death,” he said, wiping down a counter with a damp cloth, “but I resent it. I think it’s unfair and irritating. Every time I see something beautiful, I not only want to return to it, but it makes me want to see other beautiful things. I know I’m not going to get to all the places I want to go. I’m not going to read all the books I want to read. I’m not going to revisit certain paintings as many times as I would like. There’s a limit.” He paused. “I mean, I understand limits are good for character and all that, but I would rather live forever.”

He eschews the celebrity lifestyle: “I don’t have lots of friends in the business, and the ones I do have are probably more like me, in that they’re not the kind of people to go places just so they can be seen. I see people doing that stuff and to me, it seems pathetic and ridiculous and kind of . . . well, humiliating. Life’s too short.”

He has contempt for famewhores and actors who just work for the money: “Sometimes you look at a movie and you can see that the actor or actress said, ‘I’m taking this onboard because I’m making a ton of money, and not because it’s going to be something special,’ ” he said, sounding scandalized. In choosing his own projects, his chief criterion is always “a good story.”

His film choices: “An agent will say, if you have the option, it’s good to do a big movie and then a little one. I understand that and within reason, I’ll try to, but 90 percent of the time, I’ll end up in low-budget movies that are difficult to finance and often won’t get distributed very well. I could have done one big-studio movie after another if the goal was to stay as visible as possible, to make as much money as possible. I guess, because of my temperament, I didn’t want to. I wouldn’t have been telling good stories. The challenge would have always been to try not to make a total ass of myself, even though I knew the story was really stupid.”

He played Dr. Freud because he wanted a chance to talk: “I haven’t been given the chance to play men who speak much. The parts that people — including David [Cronenberg] — normally give me are men of few words, people who express what they’re thinking or what they’re afraid of or what their goals are, physically. With Freud, it was all words.”

Viggo on his habit of doing meticulous research for his films: “It’s enjoyable and stimulating. I learn things. It’s particularly important to me, because I have had experiences where the shoot has been really annoying and unprofessional, and the director has made poor choices and the movie has not turned out well. But however it turns out, I always feel that I’ve got something out of it, because of the experiences I’ve had and the knowledge I’ve got from the preparation stage.”

His career before Lord of the Rings: “For a long time after I started out, I couldn’t get anything. I mean, I’d do a small play, or one scene in a TV thing — I’d get just enough encouragement to keep me going — but I wasn’t making a living at it.” There were many false starts. Twice, he said, he had scenes in movies — Jonathan Demme’s “Swing Shift” and Woody Allen’s “Purple Rose of Cairo” — that ended up on the cutting-room floor. “I wasn’t told. Months go by, the movie comes out, I tell my parents — you know, my whole family. They go see it, and I’m not in it. The scene isn’t there. They think I’ve lost my mind. They’re like, What are you really doing in Los Angeles?”

Being demoralized: In 1990, he got the lead in “The Indian Runner,” directed by Sean Penn. “And everyone said, ‘Oh, boy, you’re set.’ But I wasn’t. I don’t know, maybe I didn’t capitalize. I don’t know what I was supposed to do. People would tell me do this, do that, fire this guy. . . .” It was not until 1993 that he began getting a steady flow of work — “supporting parts in studio movies, a job or two a year.” He admits to having become demoralized on occasion. “But I guess I kept being curious. I was curious as to how movies were made. It wasn’t, like, I wanted to be famous or anything like that. I liked the idea of telling these stories, the make-believe aspect. I wanted to do it, to try it. I don’t know.”

He holds grudges: Certainly, his years working in relative obscurity gave him plenty of examples of how not to behave as a famous actor. He remembers every bit of on-set misbehavior he ever observed, with astonishing clarity. (Holding grudges is one of his vices, he says.) He remembers the actors who didn’t come to set because they were hung over after a night of drinking, or who came and behaved horribly. He remembers the leading actors who did little tricks to throw him off. “I see it now with veteran actors doing it to younger actors, and the young guys don’t even know that it’s happening. I’ll say to them, ‘Watch out, he’s already done his close-up, and he did a great job. Now it’s your close-up, and he’s tickling you and distracting you and telling you stories.’” He also remembers the actors who didn’t even bother to show up when it was time to do their off-camera work. “Earlier in my career, I saw a lot of important actors and actresses splitting when they had done their close-ups. You’d say, ‘Where’s so and so?’ and they’d have gone home, so you’d end up doing your close-up with an assistant director. It makes your work harder and it also makes you feel disrespected.” He no longer tolerates this sort of thing. “If someone comes up to me and says, ‘Do you mind if I go?’ I’ll look them right in the eye and say, ‘I don’t want you here, if you don’t want to do it.’ If they say, ‘Oh, fine, I’ll stay,’ I’ll be like: ‘No, go. You’ve told me who you are, get out of here.’ I’d rather do it without them. When someone does that to me, it’s like, Boom, I’m not working with you again.”

He admits that he’s harsh: “Yeah, well, about that stuff I am harsh. There’s no excuse for that behavior. You’re tired? Come on! The crew isn’t tired? The crew who got here two hours before you, and who’ll be here two hours after you leave and who are being paid, in many cases, one thousandth of what you’re being paid? Come on! I always thought treating people well was probably the most important thing, but now I’m convinced,” he adds. “Life is too short to work with idiots — well, not idiots, but people who are rude and selfish.”

More on immortality: “I know I said I wanted to live forever and I would never be bored, but the reality is, it’s probably kind of sad to live forever if you’re the only one sticking around. I guess living through injury and disease is pretty hard too, so I don’t know — maybe immortality is not such a great thing. You know, Freud accepted his lot very stoically and very well and with a sense of humor. He aged and died gracefully and there’s a lot to be said for that. Still, it would be nice to live a little longer, with your mind intact and your body reasonably functioning. . . .”

Because

Sometimes you see it and you just go wow!

More

I want there to be more movies with Michael Shannon.

So I can watch good work on screen.

Apres la guerre

When I heard Love After War and saw the video, it renewed my Robin Thicke fandom


My fav song of his is still Can U Believe but of course I still follow his music.


Le sigh (in a good way)

Can you believe - lyrics

Nothing can make you high
Or put fire in your eyes
Or give you a chance to fly
When you need the wings
When all that you've got is doubt
And nothing can stop you from feeling down
But oh I know, I know exactly how you feel

But can you believe now
When you're on your knees now
Begging and pleading now
Can you believe
When all that you've got is doubt
And no one to pull you out
When your heart is slowin' down
Can you believe

See the person I love the most
Is so far away tonight
And no other medicine or promise is
Gonna heal me up right
But I got to believe
That her and me
Will be together
Cause that's all I got
And Oh, I know
When you're down at the bottom
Can you believe

Can you believe when all hope seems gone
When your mother and father cant keep you safe from harm
Can you forgive in your heart
Can you ask for forgiveness
When nobody else believes can you believe
Can you believe in yourself

If nobody's watchin'
You will never know
If somebody's watchin'
You will never know
If nobody's watchin'
You will never know
If somebody's watchin'
You will never know
If nobody's watchin'
You will never know
If somebody's watchin'
You will never know

When I first heard

When I first hear and saw Sheree giving that guy 'the business' I was impressed.
