I attended the closing night of Last Remaining Seats. Silent films at the Orpheum with my dad and two friends. FANTASTIC! Saw a Chaplin short, a Lloyd short and Buster Keaton's The Navigator, which is now one of my all-time favorite films, and may be my favorite romance.

Composer Robert Israel (love, love, love) played the Wulitzer. He was, per usual, The Awesome!

My heart is still on a cloud.

Ok, I gave The Women a second chance yesterday, and really enjoyed it. I can claim my gay card back now, thank you.


(Oh, except the final shot of Norma Sheerer of overthetop schmaltz nearly wrecked it for me)

Good grief, dear... Your skin makes the Rocky Mountains look like chiffon velvet!

Nancy Blake (to the Countess de Lave): Chin up, dear.
Miriam Aarons (to the Countess de Lave): That's right, both of them!


Here's a refresher course in a good number of lines.

Better save your cracks for your next thread, Dear.


:D

There are so many great lines, how does one choose?

Countess DeLave: I never got a sou out of anybody except my first husband, Mr. Strauss. Oh he said the most touching thing in his will, I remember every word of it... He said "To my beloved wife Flora, I leave all my estate... To be administered by executors because she is an A-1 schlmiel."

"Well, cheer up, Mary; living alone has its compensations. Heaven knows it's marvelous being able to spread out in bed like a swastika."

"Oh, you remember the awful things they said about what's-her-name before she jumped out the window? There. You see? I can't even remember her name so who cares Edith?"
