Well, why not? I feel sheeplike today.
Movies.
I'll be recommending two.
The first Auntie Mame, starring Rosalind Russell. Utterly hilarious, totally fabulous. Mame knows every bohemian artist, bootlegger, and hanger-on in the city. She 'lives, lives, lives' to the fullest. Her straight-laced little nephew comes into her life and, as they say, wackiness ensues. Lovely to look at, dialog that's crisp and snappy, and dead-on comedic timing by Ms. Russell who can slay you with a lifted eyebrow. I want to be Mame when i grow up.

The second is Ravenous, starring Robert Carlyle and Guy Pearce. Mid-eighteen hundreds in California, and Carlyle is a starving Scotsman who stumbles into an Army fort, half-dead. Pearce is a soldier who has suffered horrors in Mexico and is here as a sort of sop to an 'act of cowardice' that no one will call him on. Weird, gory, slashy, lovely. Robert Carlyle is HOT, and scary, and fascinating, Guy Pearce is tortured, heroic, so pettable. There should be Ravenous fanfic!! This movie made me fetish Carlyle.

There! Lovely movies.
And a little pimpage - i tagged at Shaking Through and at Where There's Smoke. It would be LOVELY to see more tags soon!

I loved Ravenous! Damn right it was slashy! The chemistry had me afraid to blink in case I missed something. Hee!

I love Auntie Mame (I didn't like Lucille Ball's version, though). I've bought the book, but haven't had a chance to read it yet; I'll let you know how it is when I do.
