Black List and Designated Survivor, off the dvr. I really want Designated Survivor to work, but I spend too much time criticizing the writing (every other person is either ready to nuke someone to make US look strong, or is jockeying on steroids to grab power). Sutherland's honest, likable...
We have a good sized lemon tree as well, which produces an abundance of fruit. We used them all up over the summer, and are waiting for the next crop to ripen: we've quite a few that are just barely starting to turn yellow. I squeezed quite a few and froze the juice in ziplock bags. Alas, gone...
Over the past several evenings, ep. 1 of the BBC adaptation of And Then There Were None; Poldark, ep. 2; and Longmire, eking it out one episode a week, trying to make it last as long as we can. In there somewhere was Bluebloods.
Heard an interview with Big Sandy on the Rockabilly N Blues podcast. I was unfamiliar with him, but he has a great voice; he can croon and belt out rockabilly as well.
Designated Survivor, ep. 2. The premise seems as though it could make for some strong stories.
The Missus watched Bull, the Michael Weatherly series. The little bit I watched reminded me of Lie to Me from a few years back.
(Slaps forehead and rolls eyes) Of course... McCrea tries to sell his movie to the studio heads, who can only see the ticket sales from his comedies. I should probably have my Movie Nerd card revoked for missing this one...
Tonight, actually, the last of the Johnny Walker Blue Label, as a sort of a farewell to the wild and crazy week of my son's wedding, including rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, decorating the church, reception, trips to the airport, plumbing failure at house where the bridesmaids were prepping...
The Palm Beach Story, with the brother- and sister-in-law. Occasionally laugh out loud funny. Is Preston Sturges the inspiration of the Coen brothers' love of dialogue rich stories?
The LA revival houses, and the Balboa in Orange County, were my haunts for many years, as they were they only places to see movies as they were intended to be seen. I even joined the LA County Museum of Art in order to be on their mailing list for golden era movies. The purchase of a flat panel...

(the possibilities are endless...)
Casablanca was very much a product of it's time, with a world at war, Hollywood turning its dream factory into a propaganda factory, actors and directors and screen writers, et al, working within the studio system, and a production and distribution system designed to make money. The goal of the...
Going back a few years, when AMC showed old movies, the vibe was definitely there, especially when host Bob Dorian would intro the movie, then swivel in his chair to look at a screen (if I remember correctly) which would cut to the presentation.
