The Revision Redux: Modesty Blaise

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.

Super Furry Animals - Phantom Power We were the smallest team at four members (teams could have up to 7) but we also had two former Jeopardy! contestants. It was us versus one other team for most of it, but a risky wager & a changed answer at the end helped put us over the edge. It was fun. -Tom Robinson Band - Power in the Darkness (but the bonus record) These are probably best of the Diana NYC photos, other than the one I already posted. One roll of film didn't seem like it loaded correctly so some weird things happened when it was developed. (It was a speciality roll anyway.) I am going to go through the photos I took in NYC with my Diana (some came out weird but still cool). I love this one so much, though. It was sci-fi night! I'll do another night of this! It was fun! 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!
