Scoop's notes: One of the things I lost was the directory with Hank's pictures (my error), but I did save his text and film clip to a different directory. I'm sure he'll send it all again, and it'll all appear then. In the meantime, here's the film clip:

Nicolette Sheridan shows us that the body is still in good shape in a recent episode. Nice red bra
& panties in this clip.
 

 

The Guitar

2008

Some movies are hard to classify. This 2008 effort directed by Amy Redford (Robert's daughter) is definitely a chick flick, but beyond that, it's both a sad story of despair and a life-affirming story of hope. It's beautifully done and quite different.

Mel (Saffron Burrows) is having a bad day. She's diagnosed with terminal cancer and given two months to live, returns to work to be handed a severance check because her job has been downsized, and seeks solace from her boyfriend who dumps her before she has a chance to tell him about her illness.

Overwhelmed with hopelessness, Mel rents an expensive loft on a short-term lease, and maxes out her credit cards furnishing it. She also buys her lifelong dream, a guitar. For the next two months, Mel changes her life completely by living extravagantly, taking both a male and female lover, and just generally adopting a "who cares" attitude.

The ending, depending on your point of view, is either a giant cliché, or a satisfying ending to a great character study, but either way, this is a fascinating movie.
