	On PBS tonight: there's going to be Fawlty Towers Retrospective and Monty Python's Favorites (they show each of the Python's favourite bits in a one hour show). Last week was Cleese & Gilliam.

	Since I've moved to London, I see Fawlty Towers on much more than Monty Python. I was a bit surprised at that. -----signature----- Senator of the Jacen Solo Club "It's true from a certain point of view. He does practice with it." Jacen Solo J/TK Art Blog - http://thiskiss.digitaldollz.com/

	Faulty Towers was one of my grandmother's favorites... we'd watch it all the time while I was growing up. And, Monty Python has been one of my favorites since I first saw "Holy Grail" at 12... I was astounded that they had a TV show as well, and I've susbequently seen all their movies too, though Holy Grail is still probably my favorite -----signature----- Alive and geeking since 1984.

	On PBS: "American Experience: Eugene O'Neill" The EW blurb describes playwrights as 'nuttier than comedians.' Oona O'Neill would know; she was the daughter of Eugene O'Neill and the (4th) wife of Charlie Chaplin. O'Neill is probably the greatest of the earlier American playwrights: "The Iceman Cometh", "A Touch of the Poet", "A Moon for the Misbegotten", and especially "A Long Day's Journey into Night". There is a strong autobiographical element in all his plays, but he was only honest in his art, not his life, as his nearest and not so dearest could attest.

	Tonight at 10:00 p.m., for those who get Bravo: "Shadow of the Vampire" (2000). This is the movie about the making of the 1922 silent horror classic, "Nosferatu". Willem Dafoe plays Max Schreck (the extraordinarily scary-looking, rodent-faced actor who plays the Count) and John Malkovich is F. W. Murnau, the director of the piece. The concept of the movie is that Schreck is a real vampire. Haven't seen this myself, but I'm told it's good.

	It is very good, lots of fun. Dafoe is absolutely balls to the walls as Shreck and Catherine McCormack is great support. Bravo though . . . only if you've exhausted DVD sources. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	..i loved Cary Elwes in that one.. "Is the camera loaded? Good, so am I!" It's a very very odd tale. Definitely not for everyone. -----signature----- Be sure to tune in for the Big Giveaway at 9!

	My first thread in the Ampitheatre was a Shadow of the Vampire Discussion thread,it was locked because the rule back then was you couldn`t have a discussion thread for only one movie The movie it`s self is outstanding. Willem Dafoe gives one of the best performance of his career -----signature----- "That's all there is to life, just a little laugh... a little tear"- Lon Chaney

	I watched the movie, and was disappointed by it. It's a great concept, and they treated it with zero imagination. The other problem is the acting. Dafoe doesn't, to my mind, look much like Schreck. That's one problem. The other is: in B & W, and in silence, Schreck is scary; add colour and sound, and like Bela Lugosi in "Dracula", he seems campy instead. Malkovich overacts, and so does that actress--whatever her name is. Most of the cast is not European, and therefore not really easily of the time and place. I did enjoy: Malkovich's direction of the movie-in-a-movie. Very interesting, and probably exactly how silent pictures were directed.
