7:30 PM THAT DARN CAT & THE THREE LIVES OF THOMASINA

I think we should spend all day Saturday and Sunday at the Aero.

The only one that I find tempting is Davy Crockett, because I've never seen it. No way I can make a Wednesday though, it's my late night at work.

While I really enjoy the Davy Crockett features, I've found that I prefer the TV versions.

(For those who need to know: Walt shot the Davy Crockett episodes in color, even though TV was B&W. After the show became so popular, he edited the shows into a feature film. He repeated the process with another series of shows that became a second Crockett film. It was special for audiences back then to see the theatrical movies, because it was the only way to see them in color. When the "Disney Treasures" DVD sets started to come out, there was a tin dedicated to all of the original TV episodes - in full color. When that went out of print, the two feature films were released as a double-feature DVD. Whew.)

Saturday is my pick. I love both of those films. I need to check the cemetery schedule.

Escape, escape
 

I'll be ESCAPING TO WITCH MOUNTAIN and FREAKING OUT ON FRIDAY, FRIDAY

Yeah, I could do a marathon on Saturday.

It's three films, by the way. And I can stomach all three (Swiss Family's the weak link for me).


Ugh, I've got an urge to see Three Lives of Thomasina a second time ... but I bet it's not as interesting as I remember it from ages ago.




The cemetary is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, if I'm not mistaken. The kind of crowd-drawer I'm going to be shying away from at that venue.

GC and I watched Thomasina recently and I sang the Thomasina song for days.
