Can't say I'm a huge fan of rich, spoiled rotten guys. Glad I didn't end up with one of those!
ReplyDeleteThat is why we call them spoiled and rotten :) But they are gorgeous, aren't they?
Deleteuhmmmmm... happy TUESDAY! did you see the world just started commenting on the Batman image? Sorry I am off topic... I get that way sometimes. I hope you are well and the world is treating you right.
ReplyDeleteYou know we don't do that ebil caped rodent here...
DeleteWas just wondering the other day what Michael Urie was up to -- loved him on Ugly Betty! Will have to watch his new show!
ReplyDeletehe will be so very brilliant in this new one! A perfect role for him
DeleteI Think I'd like WILD OATS and THE HERO OF COLOUR CITY.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the revival of movies with older actors as stars! And we shall have another similar one tomorrow :)
DeleteHey Dezzy. Got all my bake/writing done. Woohoo.
ReplyDeleteHow goes you today?
glad to hear all your chores are done
DeleteFunny how Carlton Cuse always gets tagged with the Lost association when, to me, he'll always be the man behind The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of him before :) I hear he is now doing BATES MOTEL.... never watched any of his shows, myself
DeleteI love the premise of Wild Oats. I could sure use an accidental check like that--although I have a feeling someone would come looking for it eventually...
ReplyDeletewe would plot the escape before that someone comes looking for it :)
DeleteWILD OATS! sounds light and fluffy ... a bit of fun methinks!
ReplyDeletewe do like it when old people go crazy :)
DeleteThat's a rhetorical question, right?
DeleteI'd like to see Wild Oats... and move to the Canary Islands as well.
ReplyDeleteI bet they have some exotic cats at the Canary Islands
DeleteIsn't that a great picture of Parker?
ReplyDeletethat whole VOGUE photoshoot is rather lovely
DeleteWild Oats sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteI like the premise of The Riot Club.
we do like it when senior actors go crazy in their films
DeleteThere's definitely a lot of tasty in the Riot Club.
ReplyDeletean expensive menu it is
DeleteI loved Sex in the City, but I can not stand to see Sara Jessica Parker in anything else. She is so one dimensional it seems. I don't find her a particularly good actress.
ReplyDeleteThe Riot Club sounds great!
and her character in SEX AND THE CITY was rather horrible.... a very bad person she was.... Superficial, selfobsessed, overly analytical, cynical, adulteress...
DeleteSo true! I could never figure out why she was so beloved on the show.
Deleteme neither, and so many ladies take her for their role model even though most of the men hate that kind of a woman.....
DeleteWild oats? How wild? Jessica and Jessica... well, hello.
ReplyDeleteas wild as a retired person can get....
DeleteI'm planning to retire when I turn 50, so.....
DeleteLucky you! Here in my country you cannot retire without 40 years of working experience of before you're 67 years old. And I have only 2,5 of official working experience :(
DeleteThe Riot Club almost reminds me of Skulls in some ways, but with less secret society. Loved that movie.
ReplyDeleteit is scary what bored rich young people can do....
DeleteWild Oats looks like fun and I love Shirley McLain and Jessica Lange.
ReplyDeleteit should be really fun
DeleteI'm thinking I'm going to have to watch "Wild Oats." Can't resist the cast. Thanks for the great movie tips. I'll be back to this blog for sure. I'm now your newest follower and it's nice to 'meet' you.
