You are welcome.

After Brian's post in the movie thread:



Walter Burns (Cary Grant) and Hildy Johnson   (Rosalind Russell) from my all time favorite comedy (with a nod to The Thin Man).

Current avatar: Stravinsky looking at a score with beret on = epitome of coolness.

More from my intermittent pursuit of sitting in the middle of the road taking photos.

That could well be a dangerous occupation, particularly if alcohol is taken. However, I trust that you are a responsible citizen

Yeah, that would be decidedly unwise. But I don't really drink. Ocassionally I'll enjoy a favourite single malt or sample a wee hauf of a new one, although not when I'm putting a lens on someone/something. I'm one responsible, clean-living guy.

Good for you and long may you be safe in your photographic pursuits

I wonder if anyone has noticed my new avatar and knows what it is.......

[Mahlerian]

I wonder if anyone has noticed my new avatar absolutely knows what it is.......

Yes, but only because I can read it.

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

Yes, but only because I can read it.

I know that you can
I've been going through all of those movies again recently and this one in particular certainly struck a chord with me.

I changed my avatar back to Nielsen.

I love you, John.
This is yet another time that, by the time I read your post announcing an avatar change, you've gone and changed it yet again.

But I like that. Especially in these times, your enthusiasm for music does a great deal to remind me that being a human being is a very good thing.

That's why I love my maple tree. I do not, could not possibly consider a change. It's rooted to the deep, deep ground and its leaves flame up before falling.

Yesterday was possibly the most colourful, sunny, orange-ish, reddish day of all this year.

Rain poured as we packed everything today. But it's all on camera  !

Sticking with a movie theme again, which I've done for the past 4 avatars. And I forgot to respond to my last one but it was Eddie Constatine as Lemmy Caution in Godard's Alphaville.

This current avatar is a little more recent,  from 1995. This image is the final shot of the film which during the scene features the song "Only You" performed by the a cappella group The Flying Pickets.

Thanks a lot, Jeffrey, but I'm not really any different than you or anyone else here who love this music. That's why we come here. I don't really know why I get so indecisive when it comes to avatars, but since you liked this Schoenberg portrait so well, I'll keep it up for awhile.

Chungking Express, if my memory serves. Haven't seen that since it came out - must add it to the queue.

edit after checking: darn it - right director, wrong film:

Yeah, my avatar isn't going anywhere.

Looks like he's going to a board meeting.

Hayao is one of my favourite film director. I'm not so familiar with his son's films and I haven't seen that one, but the author of the drawing is quite unmistakable so I made a quick Google search...

Who knows what is mine?

I do! Your username gives a very big hint.

I'll give you points anyway, Simon, great guess and close enough! Fallen Angels was originally supposed to be another storyline that would end up in Chungking Express, but ended up becoming its own movie.
