ode to stany

Barbara Stanwyck --Stany-- is my all-time favorite actress. I love all of her films, but especially her early 1930's roles when she was just overflowing with emotion and energy, and her late 30's/early 40's masterpieces like Meet John Doe, Christmas in Connecticut, The Lady Eve and My Reputation. She was completely natural, and yet slides so easily into different characters that you forget that she's playing a part. She was a favorite among directors for delivering practically perfect scenes in the first take, and for always being prompt and totally up to speed on her lines. She was skilled, but made it seem spontaneous -- able to drop a tear on cue, jump and slide into a perfect split or perfect the art of flapjack flipping on camera. You may not call her your number one favorite, as I do, but there's no denying the girl had talent.

So here's my tribute to my favorite actress, set to Goldfrapp's tune "Happiness."

3 minutes of awesomeness

After I rediscovered the song Ooh La La yesterday, and kept playing it on repeat over and over, images of the coolness that is Dirk Bogarde started running through my mind to the beat of the tune. Soooo I made a new tribute video! I'll be the first to admit the song & subject seem like an odd match but I think it works. And I know I usually don't cross-post things from my film blogs here but I was so darn excited about this that I just had to. Forgive? ;-)

*The awesomeness in my title refers to Dirk Bogarde, not the video.. although I'm not saying the video itself isn't awesome as well ;-)

ooh la la

In love with this song.. It reminds me a bit of T-Rex, who I actually don't really like, but mainly because their sound is kind of high pitched and Goldfrapp has more bass, so it's like a T-Rex that my ears approve of ;-)
