In which a group of graying eternal amateurs discuss their passions, interests and obsessions, among them: movies, art, politics, evolutionary biology, taxes, writing, computers, these kids these days, and lousy educations.

Ashley Redux

Michael

I'm happy you also dig Ashley Judd. I'm quite a fan myself. Although I've liked her in several films, I fell for her when she played a small role in "Simon Burch." She had an impossible role--a dead mother I think in a flashback whose memory was carried reverently by her son.


Perfectly ripe

And, by God, by sheer force of personality and incredible good looks, she pulled it off--vivacious, charming, with a sort of sexual splendor like a perfectly ripe apple in the late afternoon sun. I've certainly carried the memory of that little scene reverently for 3 or 4 years now.

How did you meet her, anyway? I'm the one who lives in L.A., I should be the one meeting starlets! (Does spending an uncomfortable 20 minutes late at night in the baggage claim area at LAX with Heather Locklear count?)

Cheers, if envious cheers,

Friedrich

Eeek, sorry, not a giant Judd fan. I think there are much better actresses. But, to each his own. Asid from that, I really enjoyed my first visit to your blog... keep up te good writing.
