ALL GOOD THINGS

Talking about movies, movies, movies. I believe movies are one of the best pleasures in life. Nothing better than watching a classic film and talking with others about them. Love the classics the most but will also talk about the newer stuff too. And covering all genres: comedy, action, horror, sci-fi, drama, musicals, etc. Will also discuss TV shows, more of the classics, but occasionally the newer stuff too. And anything else that might be on my mind. Feel free to drop by and have a chat.

Happy Birthday Bette Davis (1908 - 1989)

Happy Birthday to Bette Davis. I can't believe TCM is not showing a movie or two in her honor today. But that's cool. Because one of my recent birthday gifts was a Bette DVD collection consisting of Jezebel, Dark Victory, Old Acquaintance and Now, Voyager (of which Voyager is the only one I have never seen). So looks like I will have a mini-marathon of Bette movies when I get home from work today. At least watch Now, Voyager and one other film. Probably Dark Victory. Sounds like a good double bill..don't you think?

KC said...: I think you'll like Now, Voyager. I was going to say Dark Victory would make it kind of a downer double bill, but really all those movies are that way. It's all good though; it's Bette! Have fun.; April 5, 2012 at 12:31 PM

Kristen said...: I'm assuming it's the TCM box set? I just saw this same boxset at Barnes and Noble and asked my parents for it as a grad gift. I'm far behind on my knowledge of Bette Davis! Happy Birthday Bette!; April 6, 2012 at 2:22 AM
VKMfanHuey said...: Bette was truly the greatest... hey, dude, ya GOTTA see 'Now, Voyager'... one of her best, among MANY.

Thanks for hosting the 'Final Four'...it's incredible how Ginger is doing... never knew there were that many Ginger folks out there - but, a few days back, I had 260 hits on my site...that's about twice as many as usual...so, I just chalk it up to that...

Thanks, Monte! Hope ya have a great weekend!
