DR Jeanne, I lived on Mentone Ave. around the block from the Palms for a couple of years. It was a second run house by then (1981-82), but a nice one. It would generally be packed, and the audiences were great.

Ah, someone else with memories from that area. At one point it ran silent films. I wish it were still there!

Totally understand the guilt thing, DR Elmore.

Keep working on the mayor...

For me, the best movie experience is in those old theaters, not the newer multiplexes. I'm not exactly sure why, but the multiplexes just aren't as interesting. Is it because the architecture always interested me vs the plainness of the multiplexes? Anyone else feel this way?

The other murdered dog was three-year-old Benny. He's so beautiful, but he's large at 77lbs. He needs a good yard and a house to romp in.

There were just a few specific movie theaters that I went to when growing up, but I couldn't tell you what movies I saw where, or even when.

I just don't have that kind of memory...never did.

On a happier note, Bunbury got a rave review!

Pug Bujeaud helms an astonishingly delightful comedy at Olympia Little Theatre!

As do so many. I have a couple of friends here who foster dogs, and they have that necessary space. They also have their hands full with the needy dogs up here!

Well, I need to take a shower, get dressed and hie myself out into the world, and eventually, the theater.

Have a good rest of the day, all!

I watched CHRISTOPHER ROBIN last night. Has anyone seen it? I found it a bit awkward at first as they transition from CR to boy to CR the adult, but once that was established I enjoyed it more. While watching the credits I was surprised to see our very own Richard Sherman at the piano, playing and singing--at the beach, no less!

I felt the same as you.

If I do adopt a dog, it will be one weighing between 30 and 45 lbs, and it must get along with cats. On today's ACC adoption site, these dogs all appeal to me.
Scooter, 2 yrs, 33 lbs.
Ronnie, 4 yrs, 42 lbs.
Spot, 1 yr, 38 lbs.
But I do not know their cat status.

And then there's 35 lb. Mia in adoptions with Wizard of Paws Rescue!

Mia!
1.5 years, 35 lbs. and good with cats!

DR Jeanne, the true story is heartbreaking. Watch GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN instead.

ChasSmith, can you drop Amazon a note or call them and ask why it's only showing up on the Kindle page? That's seriously weird.

I'm up, I'm up. I fell asleep at one-thirty, awoke at three-thirty, fell back asleep shortly thereafter, and slept until two - so close to ten hours of sleep, which I really needed.

I'm going through a guilt phase. At noon today, when the ACC closed its door to further adoption of dogs on the euthanasia list, there were eight dogs to be rescued by foster or adoption through ACC agencies or to be murdered. Three have been rescued, and so far today two have been put down. I'm wishing now I had followed my heart and looked into fostering one-year-old Groucho Marx. I might not have saved him, but then again, I might have. Healthy adoptable puppies should not be murdered brcause they are too frightened to dance to the ACC's tune.

I've always felt that the people who put down healthy animals are sick sons-of bitches.

I don't care if it's their job or not. F--- them!

Can't these sick people find another way to make a living, or do they enjoy their work? F--- them!

ChasSmith, I figured out the problem - check your PMs.

When I was growing up most people didn't drive far. My movie experiences were pretty much limited to the Culver theater and the Meralta (sp?). BK and Jane will remember both. I do believe there was also the Palms theater on Motor Ave--right, Jane?--where I saw Porgy and Bess, which I absolutely LOVED!

The Palms Theater where the popcorn was so fresh you had to watch it in the dark, or something like that

Jane · « **Reply #80 on:** March 16, 2019, 04:29:13 PM »

Oh, and the brothers that owned the theater. Later I was told they were a couple and not brothers. I have no idea what the truth was but they were very nice and lots of fun.

DR Laura, you never mention Wae-Ling's sister anymore. How is she doing these days?

And when you say you're taking "the girls" to a concert does that mean Wae-Ling and Sandra?

Don't forget the wonderful daughter in-law.

May 20th - another great theater experience - Oh Dad, Poor Dad opens at the Biltmore and I go see it during its run - starring Hermoine Gingold, Sam Waterston, and Alix Elias, directed by Jerome Robbins. I think it's just about the funniest thing I've ever seen.

July, 1963, another life-changing theater event - Joel Grey and Julie Newmar open in Stop the World - I Want to Get Off at the Huntington Hartford Theater - I see it three or four times during its run.
