OK - I know that Queen Beatrix doesn't like The Internet en social media, but it seems that on her holidays she is still using an old fashioned analogue photo camera... :-| ?

Hmmm...

An Englishman in New York - Revisited

11:33 mareku 0 Comments

Last night I saw a DVD which I had bought months ago, but didn't bother to watch - how wrong I was... It was "An Englishman in New York" starring John Hurt as Quintin Crisp. Quintin (born as Dennis) became world famous in 1975 when his autobiography as a nude male model The Naked Civil Servant was broadcast on British and U.S. television (with  John Hurt as Crisp). Quintin moved to New York and was the new Oscar Wilde, witty, sharp and honest. Preforming in one-man shows and on TV. Until he caused controversy and confusion in the homosexual community by jokingly calling AIDS "a fad" - after that he was despised. The movie shows the last 20 years or so of Crisp - He was already in his 70's when he moved to NY... A great performance from John Hurt and it made me want to see "The Naked Civil Servant" once again. O, and yes you guessed it right: Stings' song is about Crisp :-)

running while it's raining

These rainy days it's challenging to keep running - not just because my shoes are soaked (do Nike make Goretex running shoes?) but because of the hard winds - which are really not very nice... ;-(
