I watched this many years ago and realized that a lot of the plot showed up in IAWL. A particular Capra touch was choreographing crowd scenes, such as people rushing from one side to another in the bank in American Madness.
Agreed, it's an outstanding film, from script to performances. It' right up there with Casablanca or His Girl Friday for snappy dialogue and memorable quotes. "Fasten your seat-belts, it's going to be a bumpy night-"
Started The Palace, on Acorn streaming. Rupert Evans in a fictional royal family set in Buckingham Palace. Filmed in Latvia, hmmmm... did the English government frown on a series that depicts a royal family at odds with itself?
Our recipe is from an old Old Mr. Boston Deluxe Official Bartender's Guide, a 1971 reprint of the guide that was published in 1935. It looks like most of the recipes are solidly rooted in the Golden Era universe of mixology.
Equal parts lime juice, rum, brandy, triple sec (you can kick it up a...
Star Trek Beyond; enjoyed it a lot, especially since much of the humor is self-deprecating.
Jason Bourne, on the other hand, was not so enjoyable. Director Paul Greengrass's direction gives us a movie that is nearly entirely a jumpy shaky visual tilt-a-whirl. Much too many jump cuts (three...
Good Night, and Good Luck. Very well done. Especially good was the Orson Welles - Howard Hawks technique of overlapping dialogue. The Missus commented that it must have been a cheap movie because most of it took place in the television studio.
I wear the traditional plain wedding band all the time, and a gold ring I inherited from my father. For a while I wore a another ring my father had, gold and onyx as a pinky ring. Weight loss rendered its wearing a high-risk enterprise.
I used to wear my college ring, but lost it in move to...
Finished up Lost in Austen, currently on episode 4 of Anzac Girls, and only a couple of episodes into Jericho (the BBC historical drama, not the post-nuclear war series). And, of course, Cops and Cops Reloaded.
Vic and Sade, where Gumpox wears a discarded Sacred Stars of the Milky Way lodge tunic and plumed hat as he makes his trash pickup rounds, driving Vic into hysteria over the violation of Lodge rules.
Here is a sideways image, reason unknown, of the shredded chicken that went into the tacos and burritos, along with the refried beans. Chicken was bbq'd with taco seasoning, then shredded in the Kitchenmaid, and supplemented with chips, home made salsa, and either pina coladas or margaritas.
It has been gin and tonics for the Missus, Number One Son, his fiancée, and myself. Then, I introduced 7 and 7 to everyone, and it's been pretty much those for a couple of days. To break up the pattern, Missus is having a brandy sour.
Last night, pork chops with dry rub of oregano, cumin, basil, salt and pepper, loaded mashed potatoes (used the Kitchenaid to blend in the sour cream, cream cheese and butter), green beans boiled up with salt, pepper, and celery salt; a Coastal Estates cabernet rounded out the feast.
