To-night, the great fun of Marilyn (paid $18K) and Jane (on the staff, so paid £100K) in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)...— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) January 29, 2014
This Tweet is about the contrast between blonde Naomi Watts (as Betty / Diane Selwyn) and Laura Harring (playing Rita and Camilla Rhodes) in David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive (2001) :
As a jumping-off point, Lynch may have had Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), but is as likely to be recalling Eraserhead (1977) or t.v. work.— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) August 19, 2016
After to-night's Agnès Varda screening at @Saffronscreen [L'une chante, L'autre pas*], good to talk things such as films there and @camfilmfest / #CameraCatalonia with Toby of @Bums_On_Seats, etc.— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) July 24, 2018
* A side-swipe at Russell and Monroe for their Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) ?
