Weekend Hijinks

przedWell, 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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.
