The movie DR elmore3003 referred to, Trick (1999), does not seem to be available to purchase or to stream any longer. I know I owned a copy at one time.

Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World was where my date took me the evening we graduated Jr. High.  We went with his best friend, also in our class.  I don't remember who he took.  First we had dinner at a nice restaurant.  He seemed like half my class was at the movie.

I saw The Sound of Music twice, first time on a date and then again with Keith, Penny, and other friends.  I purchased my own ticket for that show.

Saturday afternoon greetings!  We’ve had a couple of busy mornings hauling more stuff out of here.  Yesterday it was dead printers and cell phones to a recycling event and today another load of books to AAUW.

Roadshow movies were, indeed, a thing in Detroit in the ‘50s and ‘60s.  I remember “Windjammer” and “How the West was Won” in Cinerama.  Others, not necessarily in order:

My Fair Lady
The Sound of Music
Dr. Zhivago
Gone with the Wind
The Agony and the Ecstasy

I don't know about the health benefits, but I think it'd feel mighty uncomfortable.

Last night I watched Jim Fall's clever romantic comedy TRICK, which I saw several times in its 1999 release. It still makes me laugh and moves me to tears. My friends Steve Hayes and Kevin Chamberlin are wonderful in it, and the two leads are amazing. Tori Spellig has some wonderful moments, but I think there's way too much of her.



I remember watching that and thoroughly enjoying the movie. :)

I remember the movie fondly and agree that there was too much Tori.

It's due for a blu-ray release. I want!
