It was strawberries-and-cream muffins during the week, today, banana muffins. Bun is doing well. (Any exciting and reliable muffin recipes would be much appreciated.)

Beast, Boy and I just watched 'The Sting'. What a delightful film. I watched it with Bun a while ago; we watched the extras, too, with the actors and crew commenting on the experience of making that film, a couple of decades or so further on... Redford looked quite raddled and strange, but Paul Newman was a seriously good-looking guy, however old he was. Wow. Eschew the plastic surgery, you've either got good genes or you haven't... (Lance Bass, please take note.)

Bloody hell. It's still too hot. :-(

Sign up for Awesome August, people! You know you want to.

Paul Newman was just beautiful until he died. Honestly, his honest aging was sexier than any restorative plastic surgery. He's sorely missed.

Absolutely. All the actors from that film who'd made artificial attempts not to age looked *bad* as a result, but Paul Newman was gorgeous.

Watching the extras, I learned that Newman's role in The Sting was 'the second lead'. Which I suppose it was - but I never thought of it that way while watching the film. I spose that's practically the definition of 'screen authority'.

wait. somebody else starred in that film?? lol. i should watch it again, just to see if knowing that makes a difference in how I see the story. besides, it's a great movie.

It's funny, isn't it - according to the script, clearly Johnny Hooker is the main character. I just never saw it that way! Definitely worth watching again, just because.
