And we'll at least have to come for the second half

Yay! :) Fun time was had. It was cool meeting Jeff, meeting the cool neighbors (totally jealous on that front) and getting to see the chihuahua gang, however barky and nippy. ;) I'm going to miss that house when you guys find a place to purchase.

1776 was awesomeness. :snap: I fell in love with Jefferson in high school and his portrayal as tall, quiet loverboy was really fun. Also loved all the other characterizations, some amazing talent there on all fronts. Hey, did Ed Wynn ever play Ben Franklin? That guy was totally channeling Wynn.

Yankee Doodle Dandy continues to be a window onto a culture completely foreign to me. All those odd vaudevillian shows with woman in shiny matching dresses and gentlemen in top hats and tailcoats smiling and linking arms as they sing generic songs about pleasant afternoons....such a weird form of entertainment. The fact that the title song is from a play about horseracing is so beyond bizarre.

Plenty of explody goodness on the drive home. Looks like the law is getting more lax on fireworks all the time - hooray for freedom. :cheers:

Bummed we missed Spirit of '76, but it's bedtime for me now, as I have to work tomorrow.

I wish all the cool peoples (and events) didn't live (and happen) so far away. :(

Sorry I missed it. Totally sorry.

I'm sorry I couldn't stay alert for Spirit of '76 either. Heheh, till I arrived at the scene, I thought the third film was going to be the Jimmy Stewart bio of Charles Lindbergh!



Ah well. Good times, good times.



What's on for Bastille Day??

Marie Antoinette
Quills
The Dreamers

Another wonderful day. Great movies, better company. Thanks to everyone for showing up.

Today I looked up the film we were supposed to see. Perhaps I'm glad we missed it. Is there any way that could be good?? :p

uh .... huh.


Well maybe not. But I've been wondering what a good second bill feature might be for a 4th of July movie fest, if I don't want a war movie (and that includes 'Born on the Fourth of July').

Yes, it's good, in a really bad way. Or, bad for all of the good reasons.

I really want to do a Bastille Day event.
