      Haha, yes! I have way too many emotions for fictional characters than a grown woman should, which is how I came up with Reel Infatuation. I’m so glad I’m not alone.

    Blimp is one of my favourite films and was my father’s top film. Bliss.

      Col Blimp is an incredible film. I first saw it about a year ago and thought, “Where has this film been all my life?”

    I’m looking forward to writing my post for this. I just hope I do John Barrymore justice. I was going to go with an actual movie character but then I decided to do John, as he’s been my biggest crush on-screen and off-screen for sometime now.

      Yup, it would be difficult to pick just ONE John B. role. I’m glad your post will be a tribute to the actor himself.

      I know it will be fabulous, because you don’t publish anything less than terrific, from what I’ve seen.

        Thanks Ruth. I’m thinking of talking about a few of the characters he’s portrayed, but I’ll mostly talk about him I think.
