Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

2. Actor(s) you'd happily watch reading the phone book?

Oooh! My all time favourite actor is Paul Newman. Mostly because I fell deeply in love with him in "Somebody Up There Likes Me" which I watched when I was about 5 or 6. First movie that made me understand what movies could do. I can't watch Cool Hand Luke any more because I cry so hard at the end :P I was in hospital when he passed away back in 2008 which was annoying because I wanted to watch all the tributes that would have been on TV. Sniff. Unsurprisingly, I will also watch Robert Redford in practically anything. Which reminds me, MUST put some of his movies on my "I NEED these movies for my collection!" list, I have far too few.

Of the modern crop, I will watch George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Matt Damon, Russell Crowe and Leo Di Caprio in practically anything (although I'm behind a bit with George's stuff, need to catch up). And (with reservations) Tom Cruise. (Yes, I know, he's a grade A jerk but I happen to think he's a damn good actor, with the right project and director. Let's gloss over Eyes Wide Shut and Far and Away, hmm?)


Talking of films, I saw thalinoviel on Friday for dinner, movie and a good ol' gossip. The dear girl is delightfully pregnant and there may have been girly squeeing :) We saw The A Team which I'm pleased to report is thoroughly enjoyable nonsense. Bradley Cooper IS Face, and it helps that he spends a lot of the movie half-nekkid. Mmmm. There were enough nods to the past to keep the fans happy but the movie's forged its own identity and if it's the start of a franchise, it's promising, very promising. Perfect light summer movie watching :) Still not sure about Jessica Biel though.....kinda hoping her role gets recast.

In other news, the office is still blissfully quiet and as there was absolutely no-one in the office sitting behind me today, I was able to loaf in peace :D I love the summer!
