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.

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.
