The really cool thing they left me was a folder with the history of the house written by a woman who's parents built the house in 1934 and whose family owned the house until 1960. She's kept track of the people who have lived there over the years and visited a couple times. She writes for a newspaper in Greenville, TX. I have her name and email, so I'm going to write and tell her I'm there now and see what else she can tell me about the place
I also want to give my congrats on this to you, DR George. It's an awesome achievement!
I don't know how it is that I have missed seeing any Kurosawa films in my lifetime! Well, I mean I saw part of RAN way back in the 1980s, but didn't really care much for it...so I guess that is why I never bothered to see any of his other films...but boy have I been missing out. I have several of Kurosawa's other films, all starring Toshiro Mifune, in my Netflix queue.He is now my favorite Japanese director...after Inoshiro Honda, that is!
Back from the South Pacific screening, about which much more later in the notes. I'm going to relax for a few moments before diving into them.One amusing thing was the woman sitting in back of me - she tapped me on the shoulder and informed me that she'd seen me at Deceit last Thursday and even asked me a question. I recognized her immediately.
