Watching a Touch Of Evil, an Orson Welles classic starring Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh. Frickin’ Great movie, I’d never seen it before… got it from my buddy Kev who is a videophile and a connoisseur of all things Heston, too. Pretty cool stuff… amazing opening shot. This video on the desktop is nifty… I can’t wait until I work out how to share the TV tuner card over the network. It’s sort of weird to me, seeing Ol’ Chuck playing a Mexican.
At least he doesn’t put on the mock “Si’, si’ Senor” routine. He’s groovy looking in his sunglasses too. Welles makes the ideal Harvey Bullock-style fat,unshaven slob detective, too. Leigh’s a remarkable bit of woman, too… a good offset to Chuck’s square-jawed countenance.
There’s a very weird night watchman in the movie… freaky. Bizarre Mannerisms. The laptop’s speakers are ok, but with headphones it’s far better.
Funny hearing Welles say sure… sure. Shades of Donovan’s Brain! Now I want to pick up a DVD of The Third Man. *giggling… the punks are hopped up on marijuana.
Ah well.. gnite!!
