Horizontal eye candy

Yesterday was classic film night in my world. Seventh seal (Sjunde inseglet) from 1957 has been haunting me like an unholy ghost for years, and because I´ve never been that big on Ingmar Bergman (Fanny and Alexander actually always make me wanna hurl) I´ve always opted for something else. But yesterday I was feeling so crap and knackered that I put on the telly already in the afternoon, something I usually try to avoid (think it might be cuz of the old threat mum used when I was little, that ur eyes go square like the telly screen if u watch it too much), and at 5 pm all else I could choose from was re-runs of gardening shows, The bould and the beautiful (season 48?), or football tactics.


But I was happily surprised, and even became a bit philosophical on life myself. I must give the devil some cred for being a pretty skilled tactic (live AND performing). There seems to have been a lot of knights figuring in litterature and films lately, and they all have had their own reasons to doubt. But The Seventh Seal must be the original battle between the blind and un-questioning belief of a higher purpouse, and the desire of earthly sins, and it plays it out with more humour than anyone would even dream of doing in the "Arn" film for example. "du e lycklig du som e så slängd i käften och tror på din egen rappakalja". I say hurrah for Nils Poppe!


But why finnish there. When you have ME everything but just staying in the horizontal position is a struggle, so I went nowhere, and stumbled upon "The Reivers" from 1967. Well I can only ask, what woman can resist them eyes of Steve McQueen? He may have been a right spoilt twat to work with if ur a director, but he is bloody good value :)
