LOL! I...Oh well Dave, between us we watched it all! LOL! I much preferred the old film with Michael Douglas in...think it was him....and I think it was simply titled "Vincent" - Great film I would love to watch again!<BR/>YES, I imagine there is a deffinate link between my caffeine addiction and my sleep (or lack of) but if I were to go all decaff I would miss at least 4-5 hours of each day sleeping and that would kill me much faster than sleep deprivation...All that time wasted asleep, plenty of time for that when I'm dead and have no choice in the matter! Besides...There's nothing quite like the taste of good coffee!Anita Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651162546509817976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31250551.post-1174744417734153282007-03-24T14:53:00.000+00:002007-03-24T14:53:00.000+00:00Seems Im the only one who ploughed their way from ...Seems Im the only one who ploughed their way from start to finish of the Little Yellow House on the Prairy - oh no that was the american sugary drama - but yes I was determined to see it through despites its gloom. Actually there was a lot I found of interest especially the backdrop colours of dingy greens as I have a student working on her version of the Potato Eaters at the moment and, guess what, all the darks are greeny/greys. The main feature of the drama was the tension they built up - which only goes to show how emotion comes through ones art work. You felt the struggle of Vincent trying to keep to his own impasto style while being badgered by his friend to work differently and what he called 'the truth'. Ah - what is that we all say??? Guess its being true to ourselves. Better stop here or I'll go all psychological on you ....Happy painting everyone - especially you oh great one of the art communication world our beloved Anita.<BR/><BR/>JoannieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31250551.post-1174737603309428182007-03-24T13:00:00.000+00:002007-03-24T13:00:00.000+00:00I didn't catch it, but your review of "The Impress...I didn't catch it, but your review of "The Impressionists" has made me keen to track it down on dvd. I dismissed it at the time because after the brief trailer I saw, I imagined it to be full of gentlemen with very un-French accents coming out with stuff like "Hello there old chap, the name's Monet don't you know!" On the strength of your passion for the series I will have to give it another chance.E-Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365028887954425204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31250551.post-1174726891621101672007-03-24T10:01:00.000+00:002007-03-24T10:01:00.000+00:00I only saw the last 30 minutes, and I'm afraid my ...I only saw the last 30 minutes, and I'm afraid my opinion is pretty much the same as yours. I put it down to not having seen the start, but I guess not. <BR/><BR/>BTW, do you think there might be a link between your caffeine addiction and your insomnia? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
