Category: Movie Night

I’m a big fan of cleaning out the clutter. More to do, even after dramatic downsizing last year. But I’ve since discovered, I missed the je ne sais quoi of my long favorite movies which I gave away.

Which explains recent Goodwillbooks.com purchases. Yeah, old stuff on DVDs, not streaming. This is the latest. Highly recommended.

Guilty self indulgence – Waterhole #3

USPS brought this today – eBay purchase. From 1967. NO way made today! But laugh out loud and accurate portrayal of modern society. Pompous military, blowhard men with entitlement attitudes and women, putting up with all the nonsense. And making immigrants, scapegoats!

Wonderful Roger Miller singing commentary: “The Code of the West, is do onto others, before they do onto you!”

The New York Times (yes, I have a subscription) recently ran a reader poll about the best movies of this 21st century. I have, not a clue. Being old, my list is of the 20th century. “American Graffitti” is way high up on my list.

And early yesterday, while listening to the incredible music CD, my bestie and young neighbor surrendered to her dog dragging her to my door where treats are expected, while loading her car to head to her folks place for the holiday. So I dog sat, literally, on the floor, listening to early 6o’s music, while dog, post treats, was receiving her snuggles and Reiki massage. And just as the Boss Lady opened the door to retrieve her, I was, along with my CD Player, in full voice “Goodnight Sweetheart, Its Time To Go” (The Platters 1960) . But that’s not what this is about.

Found a DVD copy of the movie at Goodwill, autographed by the actress Candace Clark aka “Debbie”! He did peel out and they had a bitchin time! It’s on the way!
