I didn’t read much since the last entry (major editing job—exhausting but necessary). I did watch a movie, which set me thinking about how much I admire certain screen writers. I selected Blow Dry in part because it starred Alan Rickman in a non-villain role. Then I discovered that Beaufoy also wrote The Full Monty.
The Full Monty
The screenwriters (in one case writer/director) of the four “Alan Rickman fascination” movies entries I listed are: Anthony Minghella who wrote and directed, Truly, Madly, Deeply has since written Cold Mountain (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Cold Mountain.
Richard Curtis, who wrote and directed Love Actually has a resume of greatest hits that would eat this space totally if I tried to list them. I’ll list Notting Hill Notting Hill (Collector's Edition)
. The screenplay of Sense and Sensibility was written by Emma Thompson, who acts and writes (another screenplay she wrote was Nanny McPhee (Widescreen Edition)
Nanny McPhee). I’m so glad they all appreciate Alan Rickman! He sneers well and with great depth, but it’s good to see him displaying other facets of his talent.
October 21 to 28, 1977 I read:
Private Lives, Noel Coward
Hollywood is a Four-Letter Town, James Bacon
The Provoked Wife: The Life and Times of Susannah Cibber, Mary Nash
Note: Oddly very soothing
Sane Asylum: Inside the Delancey Street Foundation (Charles Hampden-Turner)
I Lost Everything in the Post-Natal Depression, Erma Bombeck
The Savage God: a Study of Suicide, A. Alvarez
Note: No more interesting than before
October 21 to 28, 2007 I read stuff that I was editing for hire.
That's done for now, and I'm officially recuperating at Club Shred, which is where you go when you've concentrated on something so long that your brain is not focusing well till it recuperates.
