A Romy Schneider Film Retrospective and Meat Snacks

The Harvard University Film Archive is having a Romy Schneider film retrospective this month. I don't get it. Wouldn't that be the equivalent of having a Raquel Welch retrospective in France or something? I guess she was an ok actress, but wasn't it mostly about her jugs? Didn't she appear in a couple of those bad disaster flicks in the 70's? I think she may have done some respectable work in France at one time and she did some movie with Orson Welles, but an entire retrospective? Maybe it is just me.

I finally saw "Millennium Actress" today and it rocked my world. I don't want to give any spoilers, but the structure of the film was so interesting --- blending reality with "film" reality with past and present --- it was fluid without any apparent effort. I loved it. The animation was fantastic. This was also an adult film which explored a number of themes. Well worth a look if you should ever get a chance.

I am plugging along with the Atkin's Diet. I'm tired of all the water and grow weary of meat snacks. I would also kill for a Pepsi. By the way, Karl quit after 3 days. He just couldn't deal with all of the eggs and no fresh fruit. However, I have lost 8 pounds in 5 days!
