Some puppy love.. ..with Judy Garland

Nothing but the awful truth - last time on this blog..

This will be the last time that I post a part of the longtime interview with Monty at AND THEN THEY START TO SPARKLE - from next Sunday on these interviews will be posted at Monty's and my new blog LET THE SHOW BEGIN.

So for the last edition here I asked Monty:

What's the perfect way for you to watch a film?

The perfect way for me to watch a film would be at home on my sofa with no distractions. Its great to watch them with Stephanie and our two dogs Molly and Lucy right beside us as well. But I wouldn’t want a crowd of people if you know what I mean. You can enjoy it that much better. And besides most of our friends and family aren’t that into classic movies. Stephanie wasn’t before she met me, but now she likes them. So there are few and far between friends that will come over to watch movies with us. If they do it will be modern films which is cool.

Do you eat/drink during watching a film? If so: What's the perfect dish?

Usually snack on either popcorn and drink sweet tea or juice. And sometimes I will bake some cinnamon rolls. Goes great with movie. At the cinema we sometimes get popcorn if it’s hot and something to drink.

Thank you very much, Monty for answering these question!

Please visit us next week at LET THE SHOW BEGIN

Fresh from cinema.. .. Midnight in Paris

I just watched MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (2011) in cinema

- and I loved it!

In a tiny nut-shell:

A aspiring writer stays for holidays in Paris - and finds himself all over sudden in the 1920s..

So, if you are a fan of..

.. the 1920s

.. the left bank scene in Paris - and always wanted to meet Dalí (Adrien Brody - he is marvellous.. as always..), Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald (Alison Pill & the wonderful Tom Hiddleston), Hemingway (Corey Stoll - amazing..), Gertrude Stein (Kathy Bates) and so many more.. for film buffs: Luis Buñuel (Adrien de Van) has two short appearances, too.. ;")

.. Paris

.. Marion Cotillard (you should be - she is wonderful!)

.. Owen Wilson

.. time travel plots

.. Woody Allen

- please watch this film!

Watch out for Carla Bruni - First Lady of France! - she plays a Museum Guide!

Have a look:

~ oh - and just by the way: Camille Claudel was Rodin's lover - NOT his wife. That actually was Rose.. ;") ~

Thank you all for listening!

Some puppy love.. ..with Fita Benkhoff and Alfred Hitchcock

It's Tuesday again...

I just like this picture: The dog is cute and her hair looks marvellous!

And for all of you who just loathe/don't care/ignore German actors/actresses - and want to see someone "really famous" - I'll post:

Alfred Hitchcock - and one of the cutest dogs I ever saw:

Have a great time!!
