I'll always worship your brilliant, brilliant work.

I remember watching a documentary about Sean Connery and someone said something like 'When Sean Connery enters a room, people immediately start to act differently, they might hold their breath, they straighten their posture or start fidgeting'. The Sean Connery effect. There is no way you cannot notice him. And you kind of want him to notice you.
Controversies and idiosyncrasies aside - and acknowledging the tiny possibility that the Connery effect might not work on everyone - there's something special and unique about him that draws you in. I believe Sean Connery is on the most charismatic, most amazing and talented actors to ever appear on screen.

It's his 80th birthday today. Happy Birthday, Sean Connery!
Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

To celebrate his birthday, I have put together a list of my favorite Sean Connery movies, including pictures, vids and commentary.

Sean Connery dancing at the Edinburgh FilmFest 2010. I say: keep dancing, Sean!

And finally, I couldn't resist adding a picture of two of my favorite Scots....( Click! )

I have a lot to do. Therefore I'm bored. Therefore you get a nonsense entry...

When did Mark Hamill collectibles become so ridiculously expensive? Of course, what cost me a lot of money (all issues of "The Black Pearl" and the Star Insider magazine) is cheaper these days. Not so my VHS collection. Yay for that. Yes, you're probably either thinking "Who?" or "I wouldn't pay money for anything that has to do with Mark Hamill".:p But I love that guy. I really want this photo which is on sale on eBay now. Only, I can't afford it...:/

Then again, what I really really REALLY want is a good print of this one:

What? I'm a big Star Wars fan in case you didn't know. What do you expect. We're all crazy.:)

Some weeks ago I was happily losing a couple of brain cells watching "The Fly II". Until my mother showed up, declared it was crap and switched the channel. Parents. You can't watch what you want in your own home.:) I really don't know what her problem was. There's Eric Stoltz in it! Eric Stoltz!!! I'll watch (almost) any crap for him. Because I think he's illegally handsome and very talented. Eric Stoltz in "Some Kind of Wonderful" makes you...whimper.LOL (yes that's just me, therapy, remember?) Besides, luckily, he's also a fine person.

I had a hard time deciding on a picture. I suddenly needed to have an Eric Stoltz folder because all the GeoCities sites are closing.:/ Maybe I need to make an Eric picspam at some point. With a filter, to spare you and only I can see it. Hah!

Though I knew better, I watched "Superman Returns". I thought it was...not good. Will Bryan Singer ever make good movies again? Brandon Routh looked too young and his (whether it was deliberate or not) efforts to imitate Christopher Reeve's mannerisms were irritating. Kate Bosworth as Lois? No. Why did there have to be a kid? Maybe I'm just too old. I watched the first two "Superman" movies with Christopher Reeve until I knew them by heart (commercial breaks and all) as a kid and maybe that means I cannot be objective. I recently saw Christopher Reeve's daughter on...CNN? *shrugs* She has the same nose and eyes as her father. And his smile. I miss that smile. And I miss him.
Also, if you need something to laugh, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwxYlJjhw-0
And why not check out Mark Hamill on the "Muppet Show", too? My favorite part is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfJwI9hVWlM

How girly was this entry? Ew.:p I just felt like it. Oh, if you don't get the entry's subject, check out the dates of birth.;)

Have you all recovered from watching the
Oscars? :) I admit I haven't seen it. I haven't watched the Oscars since...1998. Bits and pieces, nothing more since then. It has a lot to do with disappointment - and the fact that the number of people I actually know (or want to know :/ ) seems to decline each year. Or their name shows up in that in memoriam montage....
Anyway... although I wish she had won the award for another role...
( CONGRATS, TILDA !!! )

Thank you to those who took part in the movie meme. It was fun.:) I added the rest of the answers, in case you're curious.

I'd like to ask you for a favor... I updated the layout for my Lawrence of Arabia fanlisting. Maybe you could take a look...? It's just that some feedback would be good. It's my first layout of that kind. Thank you.
