Taking A Break

I’m going to step away from this blog for a while. It’s been over 11 years since my first post, and lately I’ve not been feeling it. So l want to take some time off to decide if I want to keep on doing what I've been doing or continue differently or just quit altogether.

Thank you to all my followers. Thanks to those who message me and share photos with me. I have enjoyed our conversations. I will never stop loving Old Hollywood and classic film. Just need some time to rest and recuperate.

I don’t know how you men get that way, but every time you meet an attractive woman you begin to plan how and where you can club her wings down.

Since first I saw your face, this music has been singing to me of you and of - love triumphant! Yet listen - there sounds an ominous undercurrent of warning!

Peter Lorre in M (Fritz Lang, 1931), the story of the hunt for a pedophile killer through the underworld of Berlin

Bringing out all these things on the screen, separating them from the incidentals, seems to me to confront a film, a film based on factual reports, with a more substantial responsibility than the artistic reproduction of events: the responsibility of sounding a warning from real events, of educating, and in this way ultimately having a preventive effect...

Remembering Judy Garland on her birthday (June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969)

“Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.” 

“I’ve always taken ‘The Wizard of Oz’ very seriously, you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I’ve spent my entire life trying to get over it.”
