That's right! This blog is now one week old. Thank you to everyone who dropped in and took a look this week. I assure you that the next weeks will be less Gatsby centered. This will become clearer on Monday. Next week:
Monday Blame It on the Mouseketeers Tuesday Baz Luhrmann's THE GREAT GATSBY Wednesday Film In Depth looks at Terrence Malick's TO THE WONDER Thursday My Greatest Movie Weekend Part II What's new today? FILM IN DEPTH makes it debut with a detailed analysis of the 1974 THE GREAT GATSBY. Please check it out and then share your own thoughts about the film. Thank you for all the emails commenting on the site. Suggestions are very welcomed. Thank you to the friends and relatives who I have not heard from in awhile. Thanks for writing and making my week. Have a great weekend! Go see Baz Luhrmann's GREAT GATSBY in 3-D and let me know what you think. I'll share my thoughts on the film on Tuesday. Why This Song of the Day? Grow Old Along With Me by Mary Chapin Carpenter Because it was written by John Lennon. Because it nicely captures the undying nature of love. Because it is the perfect anniversary song.

I like the film in depth piece. Edward Herrmann's parents used to own a cottage near Mackinaw. I would see him around town every so often when I was a kid and held a door for him once as he was entering a gift shop. He gave me a polite nod.

Hi Mike, thanks for the encouragement. I did not know that about Herrmann. For me, he will always be the definitive FDR from "Eleanor & Franklin" (1976). I've lost track of the number of times Roberts Blossom played loony old men (loved him in Spielberg's "Always" (1989) as well). But I loved him every time. RIP

You're welcome, Rich. Roberts Blossom! I can't believe I called him Roberts Bloom. *facepalm* Leave a Reply. |
