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 got fancy to go to my friend's (she's a neighbor) and we watched a bad Hallmark movie & then a couple of episodes of Finding Mr. Christmas. I said I didn't need to stay until midnight and she said she definitely was not going to be awake then. https://www.instagram.com/p/DS87nH5kT2N/ It's not perfect -- it was solidly an experiment -- but I'm really pleased with it. I look forward to trying again. Christmas in Soulsville - Various Artists Tree has been decorated! Boston -- Boston I bought this at a used bookstore. The crafts seem to date from the early 1950s to the early 1970s. I have such a soft spot for vintage crafts -- yes, you get a lot of straight up weird things but there's also cool things I never thought of and want to try. It was a good purchase. Happy Thanksgiving! I thought my DVD of Tsui Hark's All About Women was long gone, but nope! I still have it!
