read between the lines
dazed and dreamy i just can't get enough of the movie val kilmer was in when this still photo was taken. i think it was an unusual treat that channel 5 showed three romantic movies back-to-back saturday night (it's so weird that a common crush on keanu reeves could bring my middle-aged auntie, my younger cousin and i together), and an even better treat that the last movie was "at first sight", based on a true story with the main character being the man above.okay, so they really played up the part that this guy was blind and therefore required him to do a lot of feeling about for things (and how can a blind man look that hot anyway?)...but still, the movie won me over. i know val kilmer was the poster boy of the eighties, but his first few movies had crap scripts in my opinion, and it was only later that he started picking movies that had more calibre (most of the time) and really accentuated his fantastic acting skills, one of which was "the ghost and the darkness", which i never quite got over. it did help a great deal too that he looks so hot, hehe. i got quite a shock when i found out he was fricking 47-plus this year (birthday on the last day of the year, so 48 just doesn't cut it), which means, as my cousin so pointed out, he was 39 when the above photo was taken -- an age which is almost impossible to associate with the youthful (and absolutely to-die-for) figure above. i think i've spilled enough drivel on the keyboard already (metaphorically speaking) and through the words of this entry so i shall stop here. but my interest for this movie is still insatiable (for now), so if anyone ever comes across this movie please tell me where to find it! heh. |
