Remembering Leonard Nimoy on his 92nd birthday.

Happy birthday to one of the great actors I've known and the one who brought Mr. Spock to life. 🖖💕

RIP Christopher Benjamin (27.12.1934 - 15.1.2025)

"That was another reason, in a way, that I decided to give [stage acting] up, because I was getting a bit - a bit dicey with the lines. People sort of wrote down, quite often, the things I said... instead of the things I should have said. They were known as my bloopers: 'Benjamin bloopers'. Some of my inventions were very good, I must admit. My feeling was, if I dried, I had to say something - and so that something was something that amused the rest of the cast considerably, quite often."

Leonard Nimoy is Tom Kovack in Baffled! (1972) Co-starring Susan Hampshire as Michele Brent, the unspeakably beautiful antique book dealer/occult expert

Undoubtedly a perfect outfit for a late-night dip in the English Channel.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. The concept is exquisitely absurd. Leonard is delightful. I have absolutely no idea what happened in it. I kept getting distracted by how implausibly beautiful Susan Hampshire is.

Tom Kovack is a world-class race car driver who suddenly starts having psychic visions, causing him to crash dramatically, miraculously sustaining no injuries. He talks about this on television and immediately regrets it (face made identical to a face he has made a million times when asked about ears). Impossibly beautiful antique book dealer turns up and says, what you saw was real, are you going to let that woman die? And he says, you're sweet, but quite mad, would you like to go out for Armenian food? And she says no, but if you want to go to England to investigate your gift and the forces of evil, look me up. Then he nearly drowns in his living room.

Filmed in England, quite nostalgic and delightful from a films made in England perspective. There's an Italian butcher who's lying about his job for reasons I never figured out.

There's this voice in his vision that goes it's Wyndham in Devon, dear repeatedly, and that has been added to the collection of things that drift fruitlessly about in my brain

Anyway 18 out of 10 mostly for the pink jumper and the visual of Leonard as a mechanic.

Accidentally almost queuing some fanart to this blog instead of my main and finding out the artist must have this blog blocked. It queued to my main fine. Endlessly curious?????????
