I actually watched the 1982 TV pilot for Modesty Blaise (directed by Reza Badigi) twice because the first time I watched it, my focus was fading in and out and I was certain I must have missed something.

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.

Ai Yazawa manga & a cool T-shirt. I'm going to see how much I have left in me for NYC for the rest of the day. Fort Tryon Park, The Cloisters & then the Hilma af Klint exhibit at MoMA. That was focused on her botanical paintings, which are lovely, but I like her abstract stuff better. Still, I'm glad I got to see it. Forgive my sweaty face and frizzy hair. It's humid and I climbed 10,000 stairs to get here but I finally saw these in person! Worth it! Cabaret was amazing. More thoughts later. I hope Orville Peck does more theater. Off to NYC. One of my gifts is randomly finding four-leaf clovers without really trying. Or in this case, a five-leaf clover. It's 1975 night! No real reason for this. We'll just pretend 1975 wasn't 50 years ago or anything so we don't feel old. -The Cure:  Standing on the Beach: The Singles Madonna - Madonna
