I had all of the cult movie books in the late 1970s! They were my bible, and in 1980 or 1981, the Beacon Theatre had a cult movie festival. i was in heaven. All I remember now are SCHLOCK and ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES.

DR Elmore, you were very lucky to live within walking distance of the Thalia. (Isn't that the one Woody Allen featured in ANNIE HALL or others?) Of course we had plenty of revival houses in L.A., but as you know, everything is miles away from everything else, and must be driven to. Or be right on a bus line (as the Nuart was for me, before I had a car).

The main thing now, though, is not location, but the near total death of revival houses.

Jane, more moving vibes. I'm sure all will be fine in the end.

Thanks. Our internet just returned. It has been out since yesterday afternoon. The new owners are coming over today, much to do to make the house look presentable. I need to be pulling it about to pack, not make it orderly-groan.

Between 1979 and 1986, I went to four revival houses:
Carnegie Hall Cinema, where I first saw GIGI and Laurence Olivier's THE BEGGAR'S OPERA
The Thalia
The Regency, where I first saw THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE
Theatre 80 St. Mat's Place. were I first saw Bob Hope's THE CAT AND THE CANARY

I was going to skip what I have missed, however, I see I need to check up on a few people.

I remember the ads for First Nudie Musical, and I dimly recall seeing Cindy Williams on Mike Douglas talking about the movie, but I was under 17 at the time -- and that was not the kind of movie my parents would take me to. So, I had to wait until years later when I found a video store with a copy. I laughed so hard I remember being in tears. Need to find time to watch the DVD again.

BK, I hope to post my review by the weekend. It has just been insanely busy lately.

Mega vibes for the VixFamily.

On Saturday, I harvested more than 3 gallons of loquats from the tree in the backyard. That has had me pickling loquats in every free moment. I've seeded and preserved more than 2 gallons of them and I'm not finished. I have to do that tonight or the rest won''t be good.

It's been all loquats, work, dance practice, website work, sleep. Repeat.

My body doesn't like it.
