"Mr. Phillip Adams is a married man?" You might ask. Well I'm currently watching "Indiscreet" the 1958 Hitchcock drama starring Ingrid Bergman and Carry Grant...both of whom I am currently obsessed with.
I love both of them in any movie. They are just too fun to watch. Both have extravagant accents (of which I am jealous) and are extremely talented.
I seriously wish I was Ingrid. To the point where I have recently been telling friends I wish I were. I think I could have played college basketball, maybe even had kicked some ass in the WNBA (if I so desired) if I were a 5'9" swede. Also, she was a talented piano player, gorgeous and scandalous. I would love to just have scandal all around and totally piss everyone off only to end up in my favorite city (hers was London) in a nice flat. Sure. That sounds fun.
Cary Grant? Don't even get me started. The man could have been my great-grandfather and yet I still have a girl boner for him. That's right I said it. Girl boner...I'm here get used to it.
The two of them together...well forget about it. I'll just be in the other room watching, anyone can join as long as they shut up or revel in a boggy discussion about how great the Hitchcock/Bergman/Grant chemistry was. Notorious is my favorite.
I also have found a love for Gregory Peck. He was another fine looking gentleman who could have been my great-grandfather. Too bad my Gran wasn't a slut...I mean she was a total bad ass, but not a slut. She could have macked on some serious hotties. I don't know what they called "hotties" back then...Studs? Husbands? Someone else's husband? STARS?!
I think I just have a thing for people who have accents. I love Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant (best combo with them...hands down..."Bringing Up Baby;" No other movie has two people saying "leopard" in such a fashion.), Ingrid Bergman, Anne Bancroft (you have to love the Bronx bad ass), Terry Garr (In "Young Frankenstein"), Mel Brooks (Jewish. lol.), Gregory Peck among so many others.
A great thing that Ingrid brings with her, her daughter Isabella Rossellini. You might know her from her face in the 1980s. She has done spots in movies and television (most recently 30 Rock) but NOW she has a site on Sundancechannel.com, it's called "Green Porno." I suggest anyone try it out. HILARIOUS and Educational. My favorite is the Bees. She has to dance. It's pretty great. here's the link http://www.sundancechannel.com/greenporno/
Well this has been quite productive wouldn't you say? I'm going to go back to the rest of the movie. I may start to blog more often. If I can write during nap time (I'm babysitting while I try and get into Grad school)...it would be BANGIN'
Tune into the green porno, and also check out classic movies (esp. Hitchcock) if you haven't!
