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, [livejournal.com profile] agentxpndble, just for you here's a capture of a young, lovely John Castle, with David Hemmings lurking in the background.


John Castle and David Hemmings

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


David Hemmings

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.

Niiiiiice!

Yum! Love Blow-Up! First time I saw it was as a Sunday Afternoon movie on a Buffalo channel as a kid. Loved it then, love it now! Have the poster form Memory lane in Mirvish village...someday it will find a nice place in this home!!!

You were clearly advanced. I was in my early twenties before I saw it. Tho' the prettiness of David Hemmings may even have won me over as a kid.

I saw it when I was 13 or so... I thought that whole sex scene of John's was the hottest most sophisticated thing I'd ever seen. Somehow the orgy didn't impress me nearly as much... I was already madly in love with John and could see no other. Although David Hemmings was definitely on my list.

I think my David Hemmings phase was a bit later, really... I was an Airwolf junkie and just *wild* about Barbarella in high school.
