Garfield Dreams
Watched "The Goodbye Girl" on TCM last night, first time I've seen it since the '70's. It's held up pretty well and it was fun falling in lust with that pug-nosed freak Marsha Mason again and looking at the kooky/kitschy set design (anybody have any idea what that poster just inside her bedroom door was? I wanted to say Lisztomania but that wasn't it.)
But I was completely floored by an unsuspected aspect of the movie. I told you folks that I'm going to be appearing in a smallish role in "My Fair Lady" with a group of people I've never worked with. Rehearsals start in January. I've had a couple of nightmares about that, and watching the movie last night I realized they were all based on Elliott's nightmarish turn as Richard III with the cretin-from-Mars director. I even remember seeing some of the same faces in my nightmare! Seriously, I got the same tightening of the chest while watching Elliott's rehearsals as I did in my nightmare.
Strange how the mind works.
