Bill Murray Refuses Breathalyzer Test in Sweden In what sounds like a scene out of his old movie Caddyshack, Bill Murray was pulled over by police in Sweden while cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart, then refused to take breathalyzer test after police said they smelled alcohol, autho...

Summertime Japanese Nebuta Matsuri festivals
This is the time of the year for the famous Japanese Nebuta Matsuri festivals. Large colorfully decorated floats made of wood, bamboo and paper are paraded around the cities of Aomori, Neputa and Tachi Neputa. There are both daytime and night time events. The night time events are more dramatic look...

Maybe primarily, but I used to be in the business of selling these things (not just Maxim) and you'd be surprised how many young women like to get subscriptions to their boyfriends/husbands just so they can read them when they're done. I think that those young women want to know what celebrity chic...

Well in the movie Diner (on of my favorite movies of all time) there is a character that walks around reciting the lines from the movie Sweet Smell of Success. In the movie Forever Lulu, the two main characters love to watch the movie The Hustler and speak the lines at the same time. So knowing a mo...

One of Nepal's 'living goddesses' stripped of status
It's tough to be a perfect girl or woman in Tibet. (I posted this story in here in case someone should have a chance to visit Tibet and see one of their Kumari.) "Nepalese folklore holds that men who marry a former Kumari will die young, and so many girls remain unmarried and face a life of hardship...

Also, I don't feel that Jimmy Stewart was too old for his role in Rear Window; I think his pairing with Grace Kelly (a Hitchcock favorite to say the least) given their respective ages was in perfect accord with the narrative of the film. I wasn't saying that I thought he was too old to play those r...

Last night, LiT was showing on the Encore Love channel. This afternoon, Turner Classic movies showed Roman Holiday! I came across one movie review which suggested that the RH story was inspired by Princess Margaret (of England). The original Roman Holiday movie trailer: http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/...

Roman Holiday is a film classic. I would be very shocked if Sofia Coppola hasn't seen this film. I took some film studies classes in college. Many of the classic films that have older leading men paired up with younger women are not necessarily due to staying true to the storyline, but rather the fi...

So far this summer, I went bicycling with my boyfriend once(the first bike ride in... decades), I've been gardening (more like weed pulling and trimming of the shrubbery) and sitting in my yard, on the grass with my dogs and gazing at the river and the sky. I don't understand why so many people go a...

India
Any interest in travels to India? I would say that Monsoon Wedding was a gently humorous movie about Indian life and the visuals had some good insights into what contemporary life is like over there for a middle class family. My boyfriend and I love their cuisine and he would like to visit there in ...
