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

Posted: 2/8/13 at 6:54pmWell, 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.

#5Blizzard plans
Posted: 2/8/13 at 7:01pmI 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.

Posted: 2/8/13 at 9:22pmI 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.

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'.

We watched Zero dark 30 first. Are you kidding me?
then we put in Skyfall which I'm still watching . Big Javier Bardem fan!
#18Blizzard plans
Posted: 2/9/13 at 3:53amI 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.

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

Posted: 2/9/13 at 10:05amStay warm, everybody! Sending warm wishes from the South.
#21Blizzard plans
Posted: 2/9/13 at 10:13amWe 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.
