This past weekend AMC had an 8 hour marathon and while I was packing my life up - to move to paradise, I was reminded how great the writing is, the character development is deliberately intriguing. Add to that the visual details - hair, make-up wardrobe, props, set dec all perfect! Reminding me why Art Direction was once a dream of mine... I guarantee this Set Dec Team had fun pulling the 60's into reality. Plus mark my words the fashion influence of this series will be unmistakable next year... Aesthetics aside it's smart and surprisingly unpredictable. Plus as one of the producers said, "It reminds us how little we have changed. We are just better at being polite". That interests me... though being a child in the 60's I can confirm that reality - at least parenting has evolved.

Don't miss up coming episodes Thursday nights at 10pm... Enjoy! P.

A Beautifully Innocent Film...

Bicentennial Man (1999) staring Robin Williams, was on the movie channel the other day and I was surprised to learn that there was a Chris Columbus film I had not seen.

The Plot: "This film follows the 'life' and times of the lead character, an android (Robin Williams) named Andrew Martin who is purchased as a household robot programmed to perform menial tasks. Within a few days the Martin family realizes that they don't have an ordinary droid as Andrew begins to experience emotions and creative thought. In a story that spans two centuries, Andrew learns the intricacies of humanity while trying to stop those who created him from destroying him." Written by http://www.imdb.com/SearchPlotWriters?%BN2XFYLS@aol.com%7D posted on IMDB.com

This movie is a study of what it takes to be a human being, and it's worthy in my books. My favorite quote comes from an excerpt of a conversation between the main lead and his maker - about Making Love…

Andrew Martin: You know what they say?
Rupert Burns: No, what do they say?
Andrew Martin: That you can lose yourself. Everything. All boundaries. All time. That two bodies can become so mixed up, that you don't know who's who or what's what. And just when the sweet confusion is so intense you think you're gonna die... you kind of do. Leaving you alone in your separate body, but the one you love is still there. That's a miracle. You can go to heaven and come back alive. And you can go back anytime you want with the one you love.
Rupert Burns: And you want to experience that?
Andrew Martin: Oh, yes, please.
Rupert Burns: So do I.

I love this description, it speaks to my romantic idea of sharing oneself with another.
