LINA Wertmuller was said to be appalled when she found out that the lead character of her 1970s movie classic, "Swept Away," had her name changed in the disastrous Guy Ritchie/Madonna version. The rich bitch played by Madonna - Raffaella Pavone Lanzetti in the original - is named Amber Leighton in the remake. MSNBC's Jeannette Walls muses: "Why, you may ask, is it so weird that the shrewish Amber Leighton gets smacked and humiliated and nearly raped in Guy Ritchie's little vanity project? Well, it just so happens that Guy Ritchie's mother is named Amber Leighton." That's a little too creepy for us.
Mountaineer, that pic of the freak show was the freakiest! I hope you didn't run into too many of those freaks o' nature over there in Europe.
Sounds like what we have in MA today, too! We're going to a Halloween party tonight with carve your own pumpkins and everything! It is loads of fun, this will be our third year going to this one.
When I get my picture posting skills learned, I want to post a picture of the gorgeous roses Sir SuziQ sent me last week while he was in CA. They look like velvet and the fragrance is intoxicating! Since they are a week old, they have opened completely, but are STILL gorgeous!
Y'all have a great day!
