I like hideous municipal sculpture. :(  We have a giant chrome fire hydrant.

That's fucking rad, man.  In Edmonton?

Yup.  At the side of the highway no less.

It looks like a giant flying metal salmon just came on a field.  I LOVE IT.

Here ya go:



Its awsome that they did a sculpture dedicated to the silliness of people using hiking sticks in the city.  Those shiny ball things are pretty cool too.

Funny Face (1957)

Fred Astaire starred in the original 1927 Broadway Musical of "Funny Face," and Audrey Hepburn was born two years later; making their romance in this film a little creepy.  Audrey is supposed to be a mousy bookshop girl in Greenwich Village (she's more believable as that than she is as Liza Doolittle, but not by much.)  Fred is a photographer for a woman's magazine run by Kay Thompson.  They all go to Paris and sing Gershwin songs, Audrey is transformed from mousy to Audrey Hepburn, and true love wins in the end.

Audrey does sing in this film, unlike "Breakfast at Tiffany's" or "My Fair Lady."  She doesn't have a bad voice, but maybe not one that would sell soundtracks.   
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Yeah I watched that earlier this year. Romance was way creepy.

I dunno, Fred Astaire comes across as a non-threatening father figure, someone that a much younger Village salesgirl Hepburn with obvious Daddy issues could fall for.
I wholeheartedly approve such match-ups at my age.

I haven't seen the movie, but I also approve of young chicks going out with older fellows.

He seemed like a kindly though oddly petulant old man that lives down the street. Not someone you want to throw down with in the sheets.

Saw The World's End which was very funny - though sadly enough it reminded me of several of the people I knew.  :hmm:
Yeah, I saw that on Saturday.  Hilarious.

But that's the thing about chicks:  you don't know what turns them on in their tiny little minds.
