It's a warm day. Denny's outside. I've got heat (not that it matters today). God's in his heaven and all's right with the world.

Yesterday I decided to go through my DVRed movies and my Netflix films. Here's the run down:

1. Casino Royale. You may say, "But Leah, you can't get that from Netflix or DVR it! It's in theatres right now!" To which I'd reply "You ignorant ass. You think the movie in theatres right now is the only Casino Royale ever made? Now put on some fucking pants before I call the police." Yes, there are two Casino Royales listed on imdb.com. It seems as though there's another out there, a British TV version, but I can't find it listed on there.
   The one I watched yesterday is the 1967 version, a spoof. If you've seen the Austin Powers movies then you might enjoy this as the Austin Powers movies appear to be a spoof of this movie. Don't believe me? There's a swinging Bacharach/David soundtrack.
   And this is Peter Sellers as Evelyn Trimble/James Bond:
   
   That's right. Peter Sellers played Bond. So did David Niven.


2. Belle de Jour in which the lovely Catherine Deneuve plays Severine, the chaste wife of a doctor and a part time high class prostitute. I do love the French language very much, and I love subtitled French movies because I remember just enough to catch idiomatic phrases and tossed off, unsubtitled dialogue.
   And I want the her entire wardrobe. But I have issues with the ending.


3. Harvey. Such a sweet movie about faith, whimsy (the good kind), and alcoholism.
