Connery was the right choice to play Indys father.

James Bond was part of the inspiration for Indiana Jones, so it only made sense that 007 was Indy's father.

Did not know that.

Beginning today I will be offline until October 23...

I'll keep a log of films & activities from that time...

And will provide a lengthy report upon my return

Looking forward to it!

Hi again, I'm back from my extended absence...

Watched quite a few movies during that time...

FRIGHT NIGHT (1985)


SALEM'S LOT (2004)


SATURDAY THE 14TH (1981)


THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (1959)


JOHN CARPENTER'S VAMPIRES (1998)

Happy to see you back, and still Halloweening! I've seen that Hound of the Baskervilles, but not the other four.

Tonight, I'm watching Vincent Price in HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959)

Oh, a classic! Our disk wouldn't play last week . It's part of a whole set that no longer plays on either of our newer DVD players. Since they're the same brand, we're wondering if a different brand, or older machine, might work. It seems weird that the whole set of disks would go out at once.

Oh, I watched RB last week! Always a good one.

I saw that movie in theaters with my mother and aunt when it first came out. A few months later, the first movie ratings system came out, and it was rated R. I of course was underage for it, so I felt a little as if I'd done something naughty. Honestly, I was so innocent/ignorant back then that I don't think I even really understood the demon rape scene. I knew that people were naked, but that was about it.

This evening, I went for a long walk in Central Park followed by the annual pumpkin flotilla

Tonight, I'm watching TRICK 'R TREAT (2007)

Tomorrow at Quad Cinema in the Village, I'll watch the original FRANKENSTEIN (1931)

On Saturday, we'll travel to Sleepy Hollow for a tour of Washington Irving's home and a nighttime performance of his Legend on the lawn
