Blizzard plans

As anyone with a dog knows, I will be spending a certain amount of time romping in the snow and then picking hardened ice-chunks out of my dogs' paws.

But in between the good times, I'm planning some focussed movie-watching.

Anybody else curating personal film festivals?

What's on tap?

I'm in a '50's sudsy-melodrama kinda mood. I was thinking of maybe screening some Douglas Sirk classics:

ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS

MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION

THE TARNISHED ANGELS

WRITTEN ON THE WIND

and

IMITATION OF LIFE

and then I'll top it off with a wanna-be Sirk camp-fest:

ALL THE FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS

Yes, a friend of mine is coming over in a bit for dinner (which I'm making) and with her she's bringing an assortment of this year's screeners for us to watch.

Well, my guy and I had tickets to TALLEY'S FOLLY tonight but the performance was cancelled, so...we're planning to have a nice dinner at one of the many lovely, open restaurants on our block, then come home and choose something On Demand.

I rented FLIGHT from Redbox, Bill Maher is on HBO tonight and Seamless is still delivering so I'm all set.

I still have 3 movies I recorded (Yes, that is correct) and haven't watched yet. They are Tangled, Funny Girl, and Invitation to the Dance. There might be another Gene Kelly movie too that I don't remember.

Reporters In The Snow Reporters in The Snow. All I see is reporters in the snow. Maybe I'll listen to some old Doors music.

Jordan, I heard Flight is really good. We went out to dinner and now we are getting ready to watch Shark Tank. The kid loves that show.

FLIGHT *is* good!! Now my friends have foiled my plans and want to watch Les Miserables...*sigh*...Les Miz it is...

I seem to be in a dour mood today. First it was Law & Order: SVU all day on Netflix, then Muriel's Wedding, now in the middle of Black Swan. I'm going to need to lighten it up a bit or I may not make it through the blizzard.

Beast Of The Southern Wild all set to watch followed by Real Time.

[CarlosAlberto]

Posted: 2/8/13 at 9:58pm

Oooooh I wanna see that film! I know a friend who's got (shhh) a screener....so I'm going to ask him to hook me up...

Meanwhile back at the ranch "the kiddies" (read: my friends) are watching "Les Mis".....I'm just busy on BWW via iPad...LOL.

Knitted a scarf while watching The Kennedys miniseries on Netflix.

^ That's all kinds of adorable to me!

Jeez--Glinda's post makes me feel even dirtier when I report an un-scheduled bit of Blizzard Booty (My dog run is a DOG run...) and now I'm home eating an Edy's Ice Pop (pomegranate) and getting ready to watch 'Strictly Ballroom'.

Now that there is more snow at my house, I wish I had someone to go drunk sledding with.

We watched Zero dark 30 first. Are you kidding me?

then we put in Skyfall which I'm still watching . Big Javier Bardem fan!

[StockardFan]

Posted: 2/9/13 at 3:53am

I took Henry to see Skyfall............my husband didn't think I should have taken him but whatever. He was glued to his seat the whole time. Non-stop.

[Jane2]

Posted: 2/9/13 at 10:02am

Yeah, SKYFALL was big on violence and unlike the old (and better) Bond films, low on sex.

Stay warm, everybody! Sending warm wishes from the South.

We only got about 6 inches of snow here. So, I will dig my car out later today in hopes of being able to go and get something for dinner later. I live about 1/4 of a mile up a hill and nothing is within reasonable walking distance, like a mile or less.

How's it going, everybody?

NYC got off easy, all things considered. Today was beautiful.
