Oh, and I watched "The Hunger Games" this weekend.  I thought it ok.  Not an epic but worth the four dollars I paid to rent it.  I'm going to drop Netflix because the rare times I want to rent a movie I can do so on demand though my cable company.  No DVD to return.  I just pick when I want to watch the movie and pay for it.  It might cost a hair more but it's not like I rent that many movies anyway.

Laters all!

Is there a RedBox near you?  They are only $1.20.  You do need to return it the next day.

As for the Topic of the Day...

I still regret having to go to the bathroom when my family went to see "Star Wars" at the movie theatre on Fort Myer. I was only nine-years old at the time, but as the movie progressed I could tell I had missed a very crucial scene and plot point.

To this day, any time anyone starts jabbering away about nothing in particular, I want to shout, "You're in Dubrovnik!  I can't hear you!"

I would enjoy going back to any of the matinee's I went to as a kid, just to see how I managed to corral my little  brother and our friends Teresa and Shannon and keep us all in line when my mom would drop us off while she went shopping. I was only in first of second grade at the time.

The photo above shows the theater (The Craterian), if you look closely. It is right next to the cafe, and you can see that they were showing a fine double feature that day.

I've enjoyed all the photos of the old theaters, especially this one.  To me it is the Ginger Rogers Theater ;)

Let me see...

The theaters we had in the Grand Forks area were teh Empire located downtown and it was rehabilitated in the 1990s to an arts venue.It was Grand Forks first theater and it is still standing. Built in the 1930s. They have a lot of artfilms, indies, concerts, etc...

http://www.empireartscenter.com/

Pictures of the inside   http://www.empireartscenter.com/facility-information

Other theaters in Grand Forks included the Columbia four, Starland, SkyVu (drive in) and South Forks Plaza.

These have been supplanted by Midco 10 in Grand forks and Riverview Cinema in East Grand Forks.

In Fargo, one of the earliest theaters is The FArgo.... It was built in 1926

The theater is still standing and runs first run independents, foreign and documentaries. They also have concerts, classic movies, and silent films.. They have two screens. They occasionally get first run films from the major studios. They aired Ironman when Marcus Cinema owned theatres refused to run them. Needless to say Fargo theatre was more than happy to run them.

Josh Duhamel is from ND and has always supported the state. Fargo theatre thought it was the least they could do to honor a person who always given back to his home state.

The cool thing about the Fargo Theater, it still has a working Wurlitzer organ that they use for silent films.

Peggy Lee used to sing at a hotel just a few doors down from the Fargo Theatre.

Thanks Ginny.  It's disconcerting to me that women's heart attack symptoms are so much more vague than men's symptoms are. 


Yes.  I have so many of those symptoms on a regular basis I can only hope if I have a heart attack I become unusually hot, something I rarely do.


For a girl, I have always thought you were unusually hot.

Thanks, Jane and JohnG,


And coincidently, I found a nice photo of him than the one I posted last night. Here is a head shot of Jeff when he was under contract at Universal-International.

You know, he was the model of Prince Charming in Disney's Cinderella. He and an actress would do the waltzing, ect, and were filmed so that the animators could model the characters after them.

Otherwise, I had a great bike ride around Central Park, and a nice lunch too. -Which is probably why I feel a nap coming on.
