Watched a damn good film the night before last. Can't believe I hadn't happened upon it before. " Still Crazy ".
Basically about a band from the 70s who reform years later, tiny Spinal Tappish elements, but oh did I sob ! I also was reminded about my ' thing ' for the older man, gimme an over 40 ANY DAY ! I decided I had a bit of a crush on the character who was played by the amazingly talented Bruce Robinson ( Killing Fields, Withnail and I:- he wrote them ! ). When he first appeared on screen, I immediately thought about Syd Barrett ( early Pink Floyd and a tortured soul ) and I fell in screen love.
There is something most endearing about a 40 plus chap, with his dark hair falling across his eyes, and a look of " love
me " on his face. Then to discover via imdb.com that he wrote the aforementioned tales, played Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet and I am hooked.
Anyway, I went all bimboish and female then, rhapsodizing about the older man, but the film rocked ! I like that the actors did their own singing too.
Rhyme of the day.
If intelligence is sexy, as I have heard it said,
Then what great tomes of wisdom must be whizzing round your head.
Why don't you come round Sunday, and we'll read books in bed.
And if your eyes get tired, we'll do something else instead.
Toodle pip !
