Proof that I am surrounded by heathens!

I just said to my sister - for I am trying to educate her in the ways of good taste - "listen to this song! Lo, it is one of the greatest songs by one of the greatest songwriters of our time." I was referring, of course, to Dob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues".

She said, "What lady is that?"

Furthermore, the other night I went out to lainy's, and when I came back I saw she had been on my computer. Watching a DVD, I think. I see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid open next to her.

"Ah!" I say. "You have been watching that excellent film!"

"Well, I tried it," she says, "but it was black and white, so I stopped."

I splutter. I gasp. "It's only sepia-toned for the first five minutes! And such colouring only serves to emphasise the incredible hot good-lookingness of Paul Newman, and the incredible hot intenseness of Robert Redford!"

"Meh," she says.

I need a stake and a pile of wood pronto! Also a lighter.

*collapses in a fit of laughter* Oh, I don't know about these young kids today *g* Although I think you might have to get a knock on the head for calling Robert Redford hot. Ew. :p

You know, I would agree with you these days. But by god, in this movie, he's so intense, and he looks at his co-stars in a way that turns me into a puddle of goo. *guh*

Really? *dubious expression* My mum's always telling me that he was the Brad Pitt of his era (her words). Maybe I've just never seen him young enough.

lol, that's exactly what my mum says too! But one day you will watch Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid and you will agree! The movie is fantastic (written by William Goldman! He said that BC&TSK and Princess Bride were the only two movie scripts he wrote that he was ever really happy with), and the rampant slash doesn't hinder it. And it has Katharine Ross who is also hot! *loves on BT&TSK*

Hmm. I had heard this also - I did not, however, hear about the slashiness of its content *g* I think I might need to see this movie.

"What lady is that?"

Nah, just sell her to the circus.

I think even the Carnivale people would reject her....
