inconsequential and deliberately light
Jul. 20th, 2012 09:40 pmWe watched an odd film yesterday. It was Inventing the Abbotts from 1997. Based in the 1950s my primary reasons for watching it were the actors, rather than the story, I guess it was romantic, but it was mainly odd. Anyway, we had a discussion about what is handsome and we disagreed. Now, I've always liked Joaquin Phoenix's face, I think he has character and is interesting, here he is, the handsome devil

but Mr Bethnoir thinks he's ugly and was surprised I didn't find Billy Crudup and his cheekbones pretty

He does look a bit like Andrew Eldritch I guess, but I think Joaquin is much better looking. Am I just weird? The female leads weren't bad either, Jennifer Connelly is my idea of beautiful and Liv Tyler is quirkily gorgeous. There was a lot of ironing visible, did people in the 1950s spend all their evenings starching shirts do you think?
I've got 2 weeks off work, these are some of the things I would like to do: stroke an owl, have my hair french plaited, swim in the sea, sit inside a long barrow, drink from a holy well.
