my 'amadeus' dvd has been living in my dvd player over the last few days. it almost goes without saying that i've taken a few screenshots from it. here's a lovely shot i managed to snag and trick of miss christine ebersole as catarina; the catty diva. i love this shot... her gear is Turkish! and i think its a scream that she's the same chick from 'tootsie' that shoots down his "...i'll bet you like to run barefoot on the beach..." come-on. the same chick who rolls her eyes as she gives him that loose-fish obligatory hug. and he shoots back with the lame-ass line; "...thank you for liking me..."

a is for...

hello lovers. i must admit, after two weeks of cynically bagging on the olympic games, i found myself sucked in. i've been watching most of the swimming and gymnastics in the evening. that is one of the reasons i haven't posted much lately. another reason is i've been sort of stuck for ideas... so, as a jump-starter, i've decided to go down the alphabet, creating my own semi-psychedelic list. you know, like in children's books... 'a is for apple,' and all that. but tonight on planetcool, i'm able to give you a groovy one-two punch... a is for 'amadeus,' the marvelous milos foreman oscar winner for best picture of 1984. its one of those movies i've loved since the first time i saw it. i proudly admit i know it by heart... well, most of it. and 'a' is also for f. murray abraham who took home the much-deserved award for best actor in a leading role.
