Last night, I started to watch that Marilyn Monroe, DVD boxset. The first one I watched was, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”. There is something about Marilyn that puts a smile on your face as soon as she came on screen. She immediately became enjoyable and like-able. She has that power to keep that smile on your face throughout the whole film. Now I can understand why she is so iconic and popular. She had the full package. The beautiful looks, the singing talent and she was an amazing actress.

Jane Russell was great in this film as well. I’m probably going to become addicted to Marilyn Monroe flicks after watching this film. In the past, I was never into Marilyn that much. I only saw a few of her films,”Some Like it Hot”, and “The Seven Year Itch”, were the only two I’ve seen before, but I really should watch more of her films.

I think visiting L.A. and Hollywood is what did it to me. Visiting Hollywood inspired me to get into her more. I want to collect her movies on DVD as much as possible now.

I know I said I would start a blu-ray collection, but I think I will stick with DVD. I’ll only buy Blu Ray discs of my favorite movies, but I will continue to buy random movies on DVD though. I honestly like old school DVD more. I just want to watch the movies, you don’t really need better picture & sound with Blu Ray if you think about it.
