Been watching lot of movies over the entire weekend. One that deserves a special mentioning is The Pink Panther. Peter Sellers is just brilliant. Watched the second film (aka A Shot in the Dark), too. Can’t wait to see the rest of the sequels, although I read that they are not as deep as the first two.
“Brunico! But that’s,.. that’s… in Brunico! I mean, that’s thirty miles from here!”.
LoL.
I was browsing some old classic films at the library this morning, and having taken a loan of maximum four items, on the way home I was thinking how I wish the holiday season to begin soon so that I could bring home eight films each time.
Tonight I was going to a bookshop, and afterwards I spent some time at another branch of the same library, which is located at the same building with the bookshop. And there was an announcement that read “Double your loan items during this holiday, starting Nov 1.” Oh me.
Are you saying that you’d not been aware that holiday has begun?
Anyway, at that bookshop I bought a copy of Herodotus‘ The Histories. I don’t know what makes me buy this book; I’ve long decided that it was a real difficult book to read let alone to understand, but somehow when I held that book in that bookshop, the decision came in a snap of a finger. I guess I was kind of hoping to read it someday.
as I am a little fond of statistics as I am of movies, so I count which movie directors top my seen list. At the moment, it looks like this:
The 12 films of Stanley Kubrick are more or less all of feature-length films he’s directed. The funny thing about the stats is that, my favorite director is actually Anthony Minghella despite having only seen four films of his.
While I’m at it, which actors top my seen list?
16 out of 17 films of Desmond Llewelyn that I’ve seen are those of James Bond franchise.
