Day 4374: Movies

I love movies so much that I went to film school in the 1980’s. Sometimes I think my love of movies has warped my expectations of what life will be.

Lately, I’ve been watching the movies of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, which challenge my expectations of what movies will be. In those movies (as in life), the people you are rooting for don’t necessarily win.

Here is a quote from Powell and Pressburger’s “manifesto” of making movies:

.

Do you see any movies in my other images for today?

My son Aaron said that Joan looked like she was in her own personal spaceship.

.

I know there are lots of Christmas movies, but are there any Festivus movies?

Here’s the trailer from the Martin Scorsese-narrated documentary about Powell and Pressburger’s movies:

.

Here’s a BFI (British Film Industry) video essay about these movies:

Thanks to all who are here for this movies post, including YOU!

Day 3319: The day before

On the day before my 69th birthday, I’m sharing some images from the day before this one.

Soon it will be the night before my birthday, so here’s “The Night Before” by the Beatles.

I’m grateful I’ve reached the day before yet another birthday and I’m grateful for you!

Meanwhile, as my son and I have been whiling away the time with comedy, food, walks, talks, music, and good company  before he starts his second year at University of Edinburgh, there have been lots of meaningful things going on in the world.  I’m not sure what these will all mean, but let’s not be mean to each other in the meanwhile. Do you know what I mean while I’m writing this?

Meanwhile, here’s a video featuring Peter Brush and other U.K. comedians:

Meanwhile, thank you for visiting  and please come back soon!
