What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

Joined in halfway through Across the Pacific. Do not forgey, it is Humphrey Bogart Day on TCM.
:D

Wrong half for that movie, it really falls apart at the end. The hat trick for me is the run from "Dark Passage," through "Key Largo" and onto "Sabrina." Later on "Dead Reckoning" is one of my favorite "underrated" of his and it's Lizabeth Scott's best movie - she is so much promise that never got realized.

Yes, it does. I am watching it just to watch something Bogart. Dark Passage, Key Largo, Dead Reckoning and The Maltese Falcon are the films I am looking forward to watching. Realistically, something will call me away and I will not be able to plunk down for the day, but I have hopes. I have viewed them many times, but for some reason feel pulled to watch them whenever they are on television; especially when it is TCM.
:D

"Maltese Falcon" yup, throw that one into the mix. I have seen all of these movies too many times to count - does't matter, still love them. And I love some, like "Key Largo," more, the more I see it as I enjoy the vibe, the nuance, the feel, the skill of the actors and director more not having to give thought to the plot. Same reason I've read "The Great Gatsby," "House of Mirth" and many others so many times - it's when you know them well, that you can really see what makes them great.

Touch of Evil, while I know your avatar is of Orson Welles, as we've come to know each other - and I look forward to your posts - that picture has become what you look like in my mind. Which got me to thinking, I just want you to know, I do not look at all like a slice of pizza :).

That is nice to hear although that is how I see you in my mind. Fortunately, I look nothing like my avatar. Mr. Clean meets Sons of Anarchy is how I have been described by my students, but I am not too sure about that description.

Hey..I gotta idea..!! Both of you put up exact photos of yourselves...then so will I..!! Deal..??

For me, I just think a degree of anonymity makes sense. Possibly because so many out there troll to find anything in the world to use against anyone - context, tone, history, character be damned. It is just enough to keep me leery. I write professionally and have no issue with people knowing who I am, I just don't want to have to think, when on this site, every second about how every phrase, every word, every inflection, every joke, every double entendre can be used against me / can be distorted / can be misrepresented - as I do with my professional writing.

How I feel as someone who works with curious teens.
