Fortunately, the sunglasses I'm wearing aren't real dark.  Here I am wearing them at Russ & Daughters on our first walking tour with Jose in 2005:

Off to lunch at the Olive Garden with my AAUW friends - hope they recognize me.

Bye for now!

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I've been up for a while. -Just been listening to the usual NPR line-up on WNYC this morning - pledge-breaks included.

I slept all night long and in a bed! I went to bed at 10 PM and only woke at 4:30 for drink and then went back down until nearly 8 AM


It was lovely!

And the San Vicente Blvd apartment building that Cesar Romero lived in when he passed away....

That should have been in a good location & I bet the inside was very nice.

My father, towards the end of his life, lived in either that same building or a similar one nearby on San Vicente.  Also in my father's building was character actor John Fiedler.  The buildings (those type of apartments) were very popular in the 70s, all newly-built at that time, and very nice inside.  And they were not cheap - well, compared to today they were cheap, but then they were sort of top of the line, price-wise.

Someone on the Film Score Monthly message board has made a guess as to the composer of our new soundtrack release - since it is a correct guess, I suppose I can share that much information with you - Georges Delerue.

No, since I have to get up early on Sundays I never watch SNL.

the TOD:

I have to give credit where credit is due since the amazing Richard Raugh ran The Pittsburgh Playhouse Film Repertory for years and years; every night a different film from the classics to the contemporary.   All with the best possible prints available.  OH, the wonders of a truly beautiful home to film, complete with a balcony.   The Playhouse was where I spent a majority of my evenings when it was up and running.
Favorite films seen there for the first time were the uncut STAR!, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (I missed it in first run), LAST TANGO IN PARIS, GIANT, A STAR IS BORN (1954), JEAN DE FLORETTE/MANON OF THE SPRING, taking a staunch Catholic to see ROSEMARY'S BABY (he clutched my arm practically the entire time), IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER, MILDRED PIERCE, NOW, VOYAGER, FANTASIA, FREAKS.

Another neighborhood offered The Guild, which after ending its existence as a first-run house, became a repertory house with weekly features.  My favorite experience there was seeing PSYCHO and THE BIRDS on a double bill. (I remember it well, because that same night was a triple feature for me, I followed the Hitchcock with my first trip to see THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW).

As for the Topic of the Day...

I've mentioned the beloved Byrd Theatre in Richmond, VA, before.  It's primarily a second-run house, but they regularly show classic movies as well as play host to some of the local film festivals.  I don't think I "discovered" anything new there, but seeing any movie there, more or less, made it a classic and memorable.  It was the perfect place to "re-see" "The Birds", "Casablanca" or even "The Princess Bride".  -They will even run "The Wizard of Oz" with "Dark Side of the Moon" as part of the Midnight Movies series.

And after seeing "The Searchers" for the first time this week at MoMA, I'll definitely be taking better advantage of the free (for members) screenings. -Especially the ones in their Still Moving Series.

I'm up...and now I'm off.  I have to go to work, then go to my sister's for a little bit (maybe for an early dinner) before I usher for the Ed Sullivan-inspired A Really Big Shoe 3!  "This 3rd Annual Fundraiser will raise money for the homeless kids in our community."

A couple of friends of mine are in this and it should be a lot of fun! ;D

TOD:  The best revival theatre (and one of the few with a loyal and dedicated group) was and still is the Valley Art Theatre in Tempe.  The Valley Art was restored a few years ago, but it is still a teeny place that shows independent films, odd festivals, and revivals (although the ages of the revival movies are not quite as old as they were.  Ah well....).

Most, if not all, of the other movie palaces (as in not not AMC or UA) have been torn down.  Blockbuster and Netflix have pretty much ruined seeing a classic film on the big screen.   Luckily,  I had the interest and got quite an education when it was still possible to attend the screenings
