Montblanc spotting

[Michael R.]

And, to whip The Ninth Gate horse, the scene where Langella's character is lecturing on witchcraft, one of the women in the audience is taking notes with a MB Classique ballpoint.

 

The Ninth Gate actually was sponsored by Montblanc (as stated in the credits).

 

Also Tilda Swinton uses a Classique Solitaire Vermeille Rollerball in Female Perversions.

 

In the The Hindenburg (I think it was the 1970's version) a Montblanc pen is used to demonstrate how "smooth" the Hindenburg travels by balancing a the pen on a table.

Also...there was a big deal about a Silver Pinstripe on Desperate Housewives...

 

 

This was funny because the mentioned Solitaire ballpoint looks like a really bad fake (black cap dome on a Solitaire....).

 

Cheers

Just streamed "Elegy." In the second scene of the movie, in the lecture hall, the student character played by Penelope Cruz is using a Montblanc Classique 164 ballpoint for note taking.

 

(Jeez--How bad is it I was looking at a pen at that moment!)

Harry Mens from Business Class uses a 149 I believe. http://www.remax.nl/pics/8006/Harry%20Mens.JPG you can see it on the table. (Left side)

 

Wow. How did you spot that!

In Justified season 2 episode 7, Gary gets frisked and says "it's a Montblanc" when the bodyguard finds a silver pinstripe Solitaire ballpoint.

I can not think of a better pen to do that with--I'm just sayin'

Oh man, pen spotting used to really upset my ex.

 

In the movie, Sweet Home Alabama, Reese Witherspoon is demanding her husband, Josh Lucas, sign their divorce papers. He holds up her pen, a Bohème Silver Bleu rollerball and ask, "What did this set

you back, anyhow?" to which she replies, "More than you make in a month!"

 

The camera pans behind John Travolta interviewing victims in, A Civil Action, and shows a Solitaire Vermiel pinstripe ballpoint laying on the table with the snow cap pointed decidedly in the camera's direction.

 

In the remake of Freaky Friday, Jamie Lee Curtis is a therapist who uses a platinum LeGrand ballpoint to take notes while she's listening to her patients. No offense to fans of the film but that was about 90 minutes I'll never get back.

 

This is when I knew I had a problem; at the beginning of the film, Necessary Roughness, Fred Dalton Thompson, president of Texas State University, goes to ESPN studios to recruit former coach turned commentator Hector Elizondo to become coach their football team. While they're talking, a studio worker hands Elizondo some papers to sign. He pulls out his Bordeaux 164 and signs the papers, then the worker tries to take the pen! Without missing a beat, Elizondo gently makes sure he gets his pen back, gives a knowing gaze to the worker and resumes the conversation.

 

And that is one reason why she's my ex! The other reasons were her fault. (That's a lie)

Veronica (Winona Ryder) uses a Montblanc Generation (I think it was a ballpoint) to write in her diary in the movie Heathers.

 

There also was a German movie about a woman who had a fetish of stealing mens' fountain pens; I do not recall the title nor if any Montblancs were shown.

 

Cheers

CSI New York "Some Buried Bones" Season 3, Episode 15

 

A collage student is stabbed with a Montblanc Proust. The pen is also full of blood when they find it.

 

Thats just such a WRONG thing to do to that kind of pen! If you gonna do it, use a Bic or any other cheap ballpoint!

 

Yeah, just think what would happen to the nib if you happened to strike a bone square on. What was the perp, some kind of barbarian?

 

I remember the ads from when I was a kid, they'd shoot a Bic through a block of wood and it would still write - all that for 19 cents.

In Alias, season two, the female interrogator is constantly taking notes with a Montblanc Classique Ballpoint...IT is featured very often and in close up shots too!

[Blade Runner]

One of S. Connery Bond movies - Bond has a 149 that shoots a projectile that kills an enemy. It's barrel is covered with a Union Jack decal or something, but it's a 149.

The title says 'Movies etc' so here we go:

Clearly a MB 145.

 

Meh, It's the best I could find.

The movie is "Never say never again".

 

Thanks Blade runner - I thought it was some no name in Union Jack decal.

[psychobabble]

I just watched The Company Men (with Ben Affleck) and spotted a MB. Tommy Lee Jones uses a black resin Starwalker (sigh! ballpoint it seems) to doodle then write at the beginning of the movie during a shareholders meeting when he is asked a question on the upcoming year's forecast for his company. I think this is the first time I've seen a Starwalker in the movies.

I think you're right! Thanks.

 

Recently I'm pretty sure there was a MB bp in "Outsourced"

[psychobabble]

In the February 2012 Esquire Magazine (Michelle Williams on the cover), The Style Guy article on page 41 does indeed mention James Bond using a MB Meisterstuck 149 with the Union Jack and an explosive nib in Never Say Never Again. It also mentions that Bond uses a 146 Le Grand in Octopussy that is loaded with metal-dissolving acid.

 

Lastly, it goes on to mention James Bond used an explosive Parker Jotter ballpoint in GoldenEye. And to quote Glenn O'Brien about the Parker: "it's just a bit downscale for MI6-issue."

[Blade Runner]

My daughter was watching Flubber, and I noticed the Ford executive using a MB bp. You can spot MBs from a mile away it seems.

There also was a German movie about a woman who had a fetish of stealing mens' fountain pens; I do not recall the title nor if any Montblancs were shown.

 

There's just something kinda wrong about that. And, kinda....well...you know... :embarrassed_smile:

In the movie Heathers, Winona Ryder's character, Veronica Sawyer. uses a Montblanc ballpoint to write in her diary.
