Guilty pleasures - there are a couple of good talkshows nowadays too. I did not live to see Johnny Carson, but I have seen David Letterman as a youngster as well as Oprah. She rule the world of talkshow hosting, to bad of her retirement, but there are reruns too see or join the book club just for getting some education. As I am now past my University age I have found the Late late show of Craig Ferguson to entertain those dreadful days, it is sure an old school telly host ´cause he treats the audience a different a way friendly some odd way. A shining star in the night time television sky, although it's a different timeslot in my region of Scandinavia. It look so easy to be a talkshow host, but is it?
Fun. What is funny haha? Yes comedy gold is mr Brian Blessed methinks. One of many funny men.Them you recognize yourself in, some phrase that is yes I too feel I shouldn´t be here. How odd to hear another express just that but in a place where I would have enjoyed to be part of the audience just perhaps. well here it is the compilation Blessed. What amaze me is how some personas just don't get embarrassed. I'm an ultra shy girl - woman. The opposite, a loud streetsmart talking is what I find very likeable. Yes, I liked Flash Gordon the movie as I so adored Timothy Dalton and the original soundtrack of Queen made it a great film but thats another story.
Cheers!
Ye I wonder sometimes the same thing. It depends on my mood. I have affection for old time movies those that were made before the second world war but after the first world war so its those movies that are from 1920-1939 something. But then after that WW2 came light television -60, -70 the flowerpower era.
There has always been entertainment for the people. It started with the romans gladiator games or before that with the ancient greeks and before that before the people knew how to write down history it all happened in public entertainment. I have my favourite films one is The Scarlet Pimpernel(1934) with Leslie Howard as the sir Percy Blakeney. It tells a lovestory with the background of the French revolution and it is also the man behind the mask and dangerous escapades.
Come to think of it it tells of the end of a Kingdom that turned from monarchy to republic. Its nothing romantic with politics really but I watch it for the strong actors. The Scarlet Pimpernel is a very good film that stands the test of time.
This story has been made over and over. I like the TV-serie made with R E G and the film from 1982 because Chauvelain is then played by mr Gandalf! whats his name? sir Ian McKellen! as a baddie.
Now awaiting the musical of The Scarlet Pimpernel that has been said to be filmatized with Douglas Sills in the lead, he played it on Broadway, though I doubt it be good translated into film those direct on stage jokes he then made.
