If I manage to gather the patience for a movie, good chance it was made before I was born. Doris Day is the most talented, gorgeous, funny, drop dead sexy, beautiful actress I have ever seen, and I am a huge fan of her. She could sing, dance, act, real-time interactive comedy, oh what a talent. She still lives over in Monterey. A couple years ago she got herself painted up and made a public appearance at the local SPCA event, looking as good as a 91 yr old could ever hope to. Those songs she made in the old days, oh how sexy, my my.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>>…<span style='color:black'> I have come to a peculiar (can I do otherwise?) attitude towards actors: they are people who are famous for pretending to be other people.

It would be hilarious, but ruin both of their legacies.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'>Clint Eastwood did a self-parody of his own characters in a sense with the comedy Bronco Billy. Al Pachino seldom did the lighter stuff but he did it well in the hilarious oddball sci-fi comedy S1m0ne. That one had a lot of Hollywood self-parody in there with Winona Ryder playing herself: a prima donna actress trying to compete with a simulated actress. It even included engineer sight-gags. Most hilarious.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'>spike<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
