Weekend Hijinks

[przed]

Well, today we're just hiding indoors, basking in the A/C and avoiding the heat, but it's been a busy weekend otherwise.

Friday night, I saw Blowup yet again at Cinematheque. It's one of Antonioni's masterpieces and I always try and see it whenever it's being screened. It's been a couple of years since the last time, and I'd forgotten that John Castle has a small role, as David Hemming's painter friend.

So, agentxpndble, just for you here's a capture of a young, lovely John Castle, with David Hemmings lurking in the background.




And for me, a cap of the young and beautiful David Hemmings, sans shirt.




Yesterday, we spent the day in Stratford and saw the Stratford Festival production of Coriolanus. I couldn't resist, since Coriolanus is one of my three favourite Shakespeare plays (and not only because you can really push the homoerotic bond between Caius Marcius Coriolanus and Tullus Aufidius, though that doesn't hurt) and Colm Feore, one of the best theatrical actors in Canada, was taking the lead role. I wasn't disappointed either. It was a lean, muscular production of the play, and while the homoerotic angle wasn't played up as much as it could have been, the scene where Tullus and Caius join forces was rivetting. If you're at all near Stratford, Ontario, I'd totally recommend getting tickets.

:::hugs::: Isn't he adorable? I've never had the opportunity to see Blowup on the big screen... How totally awesome! It's a favorite (not because of John.)

If you watch it again on video, be sure to *listen* to John act during the sex scene. :::glurg:::

I've seen it many times on the big screen and would totally recommend the experience. The movie itself is so dependent on the act of seeing that it's great to be able to see all the details as large as possible.

I was definitely listening to John, um, act during said scene when I saw it on Friday. Shall have to listen again. On headphones. *g*
