darlings
we had a meeting with jake to discuss the movie.
jake said he had a real thing (albeit secret until now) for the Babs and Mr. Redford film “The Way We Were” –
less for the theme song
he said
more for the general ambiance and sepia-toned lighting and soft, slow unfolding story
gosh, we said
rosie – any thoughts?
rosie just ran around very fast and then did a little overbite to camera (not shown – except in the movie, briefly).
after our initial surprise (but hey, he’s one deep dog), we agreed to work on a Concept – and this is what we all came up with – a team effort – and a few tears were shed in the making (good ones).
goodbye, jake, old chap.
I am not sure why that was as moving as it was, but it was! Those look like two sweeties.
If I win the lottery (granted, I would have to play it first), I would fly you to Provence to make a film for Ben and Kipling. :)
*smiling*
wouldn’t that be delicious?!
Jake and Rosie you have stolen my heart. I adore you. The Way We Were! I have been afraid for years that it was very uncool to love that film. I have been liberated. :)
you are deeply cool, have no fear.
Yay!
I wept. I openly wept. I’m alone in the office. It feels like its 300 degrees (it isn’t). I left my lipstick at home. Red Wedding.
But this made me weep.
gosh.
aubrey.
thank you dear man.
oooh am v. glad that my dogs are evoking such EMOTION!!! And not just from me!
they are VERY SPECIAL dogs.
as are you (special, that is, obvs as the young people say)
“Not since Gone With The Wind have I been so moved by cinema,” said Mr. Lester… xox, V
*giggling*
bless you Mister.
Now you need to fly them in front of the Plaza to recreate that bumping into each other scene!!
Jake said that wasn’t in his contract.
Oh my goodness! I love Jake and Rosie. “The Way We Were” – how totally romantic. That shot of Jake on the terrace standing up is a winner. Tears, indeed. Well done.
My Truman has been gone for three years now and I still think of him daily. Such loves….
oh. *sighs*
Truman sounds like he was a wonderful chap.
