She does echo Bergman's looks, but with less of a "woman on a pedestal" and more of a "girl in the back seat" vibe. Bergman never felt very approachable, IMHO.

"Bergman never felt very approachable, IMHO."
I think so. I read her autobiography by Birgit Haustedt from 2015. It seems, that she was just a strong, emancipated woman. Natural beauty with and because her manly features. An elegant lady, with a strong boy inside.
That picture, I tell you!:

Great movie, but it could have been SO much better. The most amazing part of Louie's entire story is that he forgave his captors, especially the one Japanese soldier who tormented him incessantly, i.e. The Bird. Yet they only told this story with a quote at the end of the movie. It made me sad because Louie was all about forgiveness, but that only earned a footnote in the movie.

Home sick (I had mono really, really bad two years ago and it reactivated, something that is rare, but apparently rare medical things happen to me) and I just received a five-disc collection of WW2 Errol Flynn movies. First one I watched was Edge of Darkness. Loved it. Really, really good, about resistance in Norway.

I hope you feel better, that sounds brutal.
Flynn, IMHO, is underrated as an actor because he's so handsome and is known for his swashbucklers that his true acting chops aren't fully appreciated, but he has them.

Thanks. I'm exhausted and will probably be napping shortly.
Thanks, FF. I am honestly not surprised at this - my body always seems to be the exception to the rule for weird medical stuff.
I agree with you on Flynn. He was a fantastic actor. I was really impressed with his performance in Edge of Darkness.

Next time it is on TCM, check Flynn out in "Never Say Goodbye," a decent (not great) comedy in which he really shines. The guy could do it all if given the chance. And, I agree, "Edge of Darkness" is a really good one.
(Hopefully the renascent mono will go away quickly - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.)

Watched Mad Max: Fury Road on the flight to Paris. It was awesome on a big screen tv, would've been amazing if I'd not been too busy to see it at the cinema, but still fun to watch on a six-inch screen on the back of a seat. And the kind where you cannot adjust the angle, when the person in front reclines!

McClintock! Such a fun movie. Love Wayne and Maureen O'Hara together.

Pretty much had TCM on all day long for the Maureen O'Hara tribute. Just finished watching The Quiet Man. Now The Sword's Point is on.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Much better than I had expected. I was happy to see that they kept it in the past instead of modernizing it. It was fun. I look forward to a sequel.

The Bourne Ultimatum on Esquire; again. Now, I have a hankering to read a Robert Ludlum novel.

Paddington Bear (the 2014 version)
I watched this on the flight home from England and had to buy the DVD. So adorable.

Mars Attacks because it's on. And it's cheesily entertaining. And it has Tom Jones.

"Mars Attacks" took its inspiration from a set of "trading cards" produced in the early 60's. I owned lots of these (never a full set till I was much older) cards as a kid. Well known for their blood, gore, veiled sexual innuendos that the Martians were really here to scarf our beauteous Earth Women, these cards warped the imagination of an entire generation (myself included). I like the Movie and thought it was hilarious... Nice to see Jim Brown back in action again as well!
