Bela's Undead

I wanted to post this quite a while ago, but as usual I procrastinated. Tis a habit I really need to break!

Anyway, I was reading about the funeral of a film director that I find inspiring and amazing, Ingmar Bergman.

This was back in August. (See..I told you I've been procrastinating). I wanted to share with you one of my favorite films, The Seventh Seal. It is a must see. Fascinating and thought provoking. He made this movie in the 50s, and it is in Swedish, but the translated subtitles get the message well enough across with the artistic imagery. So for those of you out there who like movies that will make you think, see this one.

Speaking of old movies and such, a little over a month ago Ryan and I watched Ed Wood. Silly, of course, but I never realized how sad the last years of Bela Lugosi were. He is awesome, and it was unfortunate to see his decline. What I liked so much about "Ed Wood" is that it showed that he was still able to find someone that cared about him in the end...something I wish for all of us.

Later that night I decided for some unknown reason to look up which famous people were born on Zelda's birthday.

Well, wouldn't you have it, one of them is Bela Lugosi.
How funny that I would find that out on the very same evening. She also shares a birthday with Snoop Dogg, Tom Petty, and Viggo Mortensen. I share mine with Socrates and Cher. Ha!
