I've been having trouble staying current in general.

Planning to (try to) catch up on the week this weekend.

Friday!

I finally saw the first robin of the season for me....a big FAT one.

I love newspapers.com which I used a lot when putting together my online Allison Hayes biography.....and of course added a lot of info to my Frances Farmer goldmine.

It is a great resource and yes DR CHAS SMITH, you view full pages from newspapers....usually the entire edition of the day....the search feature is easy to use and you can save pages or articles that you want to archive.

I can't really afford it now, but it is fun.

DR JohnG, I was just looking at Jesse Green's Kiss Me, Kate review. He generally pans every Encores! production, and my impression is he's so "hip" that he must dislike period musicals unless they're modernized to be "hip" too.

True. I never pay attention to his opinion on anything.

I'm surprised this eBay listing is only $9 for the Odorama card from "Polyester"

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Polyester-1981-Original-Scratch-N-Sniff-Movie-Card-John-Waters/254099729188

I wonder if I still have mine.

Facing a first world problem today. The free Starbucks machine on my floor is broken. If I want coffee, i have to go up one or two floors.

Today, I'm taking a box of old home movies (on 16mm) to a place where they will transfer them to DVD.

Nobody has watched these films for 60+ years, so it should be interesting.

I've browsed through the newspapers.com subscription information.

You know, when something sounds almost reasonable, there's always a way that they get you. If $8 per month should float yer boat, guess what? Many of their papers fall under a "Publisher Extra" category of $20 per month. And which papers do you think those might be?

L.A. Times
Fort Lauderdale News
Chicago Tribune

Nothing from Cleveland yet. They do have Columbus at the $8 level, but I could probably find everything I need from there in a trial week.

At least the trial week gives you access to the "plus" papers, as evidenced by BK. I'd sure have to plan the right week, though, to be sure of being able to spend the time at it.

An excellent thing to do.

We had a few 8mm home movies that stayed around for the longest time...until one day they just weren't around any more. Lord knows what happened to them, but my family was awful about not preserving things well. As I recall, the movies were humdrum, but they provided glimpses of grandparents and other relatives, and homes, all long gone.

Yes DR DRUXY we transferred our Super 8's to DVD and it was most entertaining and interesting.

DR GEORGE there was NO new episode of THE ORVILLE last night....something called the iHeart Radio Awards were on....

I have 9 10 minute reels, but not all of them are full.

The national tour of Hamilton is coming to San Antonio. Tickets to the public went on sale today. A co-worker signed up and got her tickets for $80 apiece.

I believe I've slept about ninety minutes - so I'm not sure I'm exactly up.

Have talked to the resubmission gal who seems confused, my gal isn't in today, so I'm not sure anything is getting done today.

June 1 at the Stadium (probably Saturday for me): Our Man in Havana (hated it) and Tall Story (enjoyed it). The following week was great: Who Was that Lady (loved it) and The Mouse that Roared (love it even more).

This movie I wrote about the other day - very low-budget - Private Property - it opened in June of 1960 at the Paramount - a huge, first-class theater. How did that happen?

June 29 at the Wiltern - summer, I'm there, first show - Hercules Unchained.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #82 on:** March 15, 2019, 11:07:56 AM »

I'd bet you there are very few people who have had anything close to the moviegoing childhood and young-adulthood that BK had.

August 10 - newly returned from my first time away from home - trip to St. Louis. Summer - and I'm at the noon showing of - Psycho at the El Rey. The film opened wide in LA, unlike NY where it had opened in June at just a few theaters.

bk · « **Reply #84 on:** March 15, 2019, 11:23:09 AM »

And that Saturday I see the matinee of Around the World in Eighty Days at my beloved Stadium - in stereo. And then Ocean's 11 at the Wiltern. Very busy movie week for BK.

And the Kritzerland guest star for the April show is starring in a musical revue at the Ivar - but I hadn't begun my theater journey yet - Fay De Witt in Vintage 60.

bk · « **Reply #86 on:** March 15, 2019, 11:26:16 AM »

And Psycho, which didn't open in any major theaters here, in one week has moved over to the Wilshire, a much bigger theater than the El Rey, but the ads are tiny. Weird, as it was a huge hit.

bk · « **Reply #87 on:** March 15, 2019, 11:28:13 AM »

Then on August 24 the Psycho ads are huge again - third week and still at the Wilshire.
