This blog gives a look into the eternal sunshine of my ever roving mind. I consider myself a social critic. I believe in Film, Music, Theatre, Musical Theatre, Gay Rights, the Right to Choose, Human Rights and YES I still believe in Barack Obama. I believe in most things left of center. I don't get any organized religion.They are all a sham. This is the gay pride flag. I am proudly gay. These are the things this blog is about. Love it, like it or leave it. We all have choices.

'The Go-Between' and 'Far from the Madding Crowd'
'far from the madding crowd' and 'the go-between' show julie at her radiant best. 1967 and 1970 respectively they gave julie cinema photographers who loved her. 'the go-between' is a classic. 'far from the madding crowd' based on the thomas hardy novel less so. it is based on dryer source material as are most hardy novels. the award winning combination of julie and director john schlessinger,straight off of 'darling' failed to save this at the box office. yet it is lush and boasts an attractive cast including peter finch, alan bates and a strikingly handsome terrence stamp.
oddly only 'far from the madding crowd is available on dvd.
