The Revision: Modesty Blaise

A scene from Modesty Blaise, 1966

Modesty Blaise (1966, directed by Joseph Losey) is fun enough if you pretend it’s not related to the comic strip, other than the name and the general concept. It’s still not entirely successful on its own but that makes it less disappointing. And that’s “less disappointing.” It’s still a disappointing movie overall.

I thought my DVD of Tsui Hark's All About Women was long gone, but nope! I still have it! It was cold today but the forest was pretty. I love how close nature is to me here. Florence and the Machine - Everybody Scream I've started making gel plate prints. I'm still learning but it's been a fun process. It's a little unpredictable but that is part of why I enjoy it. I look forward to doing more (It's been ... maybe a week? And I haven't done it every day.  I'm already impressed with my progress.) And part 2 of the double feature, of course. First half of my classic Halloween double-feature, Ghostwatch. This is a cover of an issue of Young Love I scanned and made into a poster years ago. I love this image so much but there wasn't really a good spot for it in any of the rooms of new place but hey, hallway between the kitchen and the bedroom works. 'I don't like horror, I just own physical copies of all of these movies for no reason." I have a signed copy of Bryan Talbot's The Tale of One Bad Rat. It's an amazing book but I have read it exactly once and every time I flip through it, I can't.
