Last night I watched "Blow Up". I'm pretty sure I requested that Blockbuster-online send it because I heard the main character is based on Richard Avedon. I sure hope it wasn't. I have much more respect for Avedon, and from all I've read he tried his best to ensure that his models were comfortable and relaxed while being photographed. He had boundless energy, and I'm sure his shoots reflected that, but the overt flirtatious mannerisms of the protagonist in "Blow Up" didn't seem to reflect any respect for the craft or his subjects.
Otherwise, the movie was longwinded, but interesting. I think I dozed off in the middle, but the parts I was awake for were rather interesting. It's probably going to have to go the way of "The Deer Hunter". Third time's a charm!
DIDI MAU!
