What DVD's are we Watching?

Not a DVD ... it was actually broadcast on Lifetime tonight ... Gia.

I haven't seen this since it ran on HBO in 1998.

Really weird coincidence that I turned on the TV tonight and there it was.

Gia's story haunts me. Every time I hear a mention of Carangi's Bakery I think of her. I remember seeing her in Glamour in the late seventies, and I had no idea that she was a junkie...she looked so healthy.

I even remember the last cover she did for Cosmopolitan Magazine, when she had to hide her track-marked arms. There's a book about her, too; definitely worth a read. Her story may not be so unusual; there is some weird shit that goes on in that world.

I caught that recently too. I'd not seen it before. Great movie. Angelina is gorgeous (as was Gia.)

I watched "Evening" this weekend. It was an Odd Lots Moveipalooza buy (which sadly is no more, went in there and all the displays are gone, so I bought two books for 50 cents apiece.)

Not a great movie, but the cast, the CAST!

Glenn Close, Meryl Streep, Claire Danes, Nastasha Richardson, Vanessa Redgrave, and Mamie Gummer (who I'd really known nothing about but I looked her up and she is Streep's daughter and currently has some parts on The Good Wife) and a nice looking feller named Patrick Wilson.
