Pictures of Alexandra [Topic 4]

[fish]

And I always thought Mrs Slocombe's pussy should be left well alone.
("Are You Being Served". British sit com of many, many years ago)


Alex can't even bear to look at us after those outbursts.

[Ian]

I don't mind her staying in that position, personally.

[Dahls]

Ah, thanks for clearing that up then.



I bet you don't, Ian.

Alex: "So when Fish said I should wear a silly hat next week, I just told him "

[Ian]

Mrs Slocombe's pussy was quite the topic of conversation back in the day.

[fish]

Some very funny moments were had with dear old Mrs S.


Ok Alex, special occasion, I'll give you another chance to find a silly hat.



Despite a few spamified pop-ups, this link takes you to the full movie "Blondie" with English subs.

I've only watched the start of it yet, so far so good.

(Don't worry Ole. I still want to buy the DVD if/when you get it. )

[Ian]

Grr. I hate those files you can't download, and I can't watch full movies on my computer!

[fish]

I hate talking technical but you might need an extra mouse in the wheel that powers your 'puter.

Oh dear.


Lex and Dahls discussing the people on the Forum.



Don't know what you thought of Blondie Dahls, but I loved it.
(Despite the almost complete absence of the pronoun "I" in the subtitles. )
The dynamic between the three sisters, and between the mother and each of them was so well done.
Fish family reunions seem tame by comparison.
Excellent performances from the leads as well.

Definitely four thumbs up.

Looking forward to buying the dvd so I can watch it on a bigger screen.

[Ian]

Yeah, that sounds like my friends actually...

[Dahls]

Just got around seing it last night, and I liked it too, but it could have been even better with a stronger story perhaps?
Some parts just felt a bit underwritten, I don't really know how to put my finger on it.
A couple of scenes seems to go nowhere, which makes them feel a little uninteresting, especially in the second part.

The high point of Blondie was, like you said (sort of), the dynamic between the characters. They work great together all four of them, the atmosphere within the family, on both darker and loveing moments, is very authentic.
And in this sort of chamber drama, that's what's most important anyway.
Beautiful cinematography was also a big plus.


All in all I truly enjoyed it, despite some flaws, and will probably watch it again in not too long.

[fish]

...will probably watch it again in not too long.

Me too, I'm sure.



OK Alex, this is your last chance.
You better wear a silly hat tomorrow or I'll find one for you.

[Ian]

Alex doesn't seem to be a fan of the hat.

[fish]

I'm sure she'll try, just for us.


No, no, no Alex. You've got it all wrong.
You're the one who has to wear the hat, not your (ahem) friend.

[Ian]

Yes, Alex has lots of close attractive female 'friends'.

[Dahls]

That can't be a coincident. Wonder if she was referring to herself, when she made 'Player'.


I was browsing a little for coming swedish films of 2013 just now, and according to imdb, Alex is rumored to play a smaller role in a film called Ömheten (Tenderness), which is in post-production atm.
The film is about teenagers set in a mining town, where Alex is their teacher.
And Lina Leandersson from LTROI is starring , so even if there's no hold in the rumor (about Alex's role), it might be one to look out for.
