A great movie called Montenegro
« on: May 15, 2007, 04:06:54 PM »

features a song sung by Marianne Faithfull, called "the ballad of lucy jordan"  . . . you'll never guess who wrote the lyrics.  y'all should watch the movie sometime . . . it's in English, even though it's a "foreign film."

or at least download the song from iTunes . . .  or steal it from somewhere.

For you...



It is a great flick. Thought it was Marianne Faithful who wrote the lyrics.

Deedee, I'll be forever in your debt if you can find me a high resolution picture of Susan Anspach barefoot in the snow while wearing a $100,000 lynx coat and links of sausage around her lovely neck.

Is that an attainable challenge, or did you make that up in one of your vivid dreams?  :)

it's a scene from montenegro . . . it's after they've delivered the friendly gentleman w the knife sticking out of his forehead to the hospital. I think it's time for you to put montenegro on your netflix queue. 

susan anspach  . . .  so beautiful in five easy pieces too . . . she had a kid w jack nicholson, thanks to that movie.

yup, shel silverstein = a man of many talents.

also, can you imagine someone as beautiful, talented (and blue-blooded) as marianne faithfull living in a dive . . . ? it happened, that woman's been through hell backwards, mostly b/c of her association w a devil named jagger.

I haven't seen that flick in many years...many... I don't remember that scene at all.  Maybe I should put it in the netflix queue.

Marianne Faithful was a product of the '60s, so yes, I think it's believable.  This is one of my fav Marianne Faithful songs.  It reminds me of the way she lived her life, just a little. (You seem to be having a '60s moment yourself.  :))

Been roughing it in Borneo, knifing wild pigs lately?  :D

Abba, hmmmm...

The Queen, Aldomovar's the Volver... can't think of much.  Pan's Labyrinth is amazing, and also loved Cache... I know you can manage hearing the French.  ;)  I've kind of been off movies lately, myself. But this is a good place to find the ones you might want to see.

no roughing it for me lately . . . your post made me think about the last time I actually did something like that, and it was six years ago . . . kinda sad the way time speeds by while you're chasing the brass ring.

You make it sound as though you're one of the ancients.  :'(  I'm sure there's plenty of conquering left to do.

Download the entire album:  Broken English.  You can get it on LimeWire or Napster
My fave track is Why'd Ya Do It

oh yeah, by the way I wasn't 37 that year and I've never been to Paris.
