2005-06-18 - 1:13 p.m. Merchant-Ivory productions tend to be genteel happenings, all high-collared shirtwaist dresses and spinsters with clenched jaws and ropy neck tendons...but I watched one last night that really bucked their usual formula--most likely because it was directed not by James Ivory but Simon Callow, who looks familiar from his roles in other M-I prods. Also, I think Keith Carradine should be in every movie. Listening to the Lazy Line Painter Jane e.p. from B&S today. I love this record. "You Made Me Forget My Dreams" could be a lost Marianne Faithfull track (that's swingin' 60s-era MF, not the post-punk version).
