Wednesday Medley

-


Terri's weekly questions revolve around National Film Score Day:

1.  Let's talk about film scores/songs.  What is the first one that you thought about when you saw today's subject?
 
The Star Wars theme popped into my head. I was in Walt Disney World last week, and since Disney bought the Star Wars franchise ....
 
Well, when Galactic Storm Troopers march down "Hollywood Blvd." at Disney's Hollywood Studios, it makes an impression...
 

 
2.  Do you remember the first movie you ever saw on the "big screen"?  Would you tell us about it?

It was 1964, and the film was Mary Poppins.  My parents bought the soundtrack album, and my sister and I played it over and over and over...
 
 
3.  Who is your favorite female movie star?  Who is your favorite male movie star?  Go ahead and list more than one if you must.
 
 I could watch George Clooney read a phone book and be content.  I will happily watch anything with Humphrey Bogart.  I love Katherine Hepburn and Anne Hathaway. 
4.  How about those old black & white movies!  Which one do you always stop and watch, even just a little, when channel surfing?
 
There are so many that I love.  But Casablanca is my all-time favorite.

5.  Is there a movie quote that makes you laugh or one that you repeat often in life that you can share with us?  Will we know what movie it comes from without you telling us?
 
Well, you know I could easily say "we'll always have Paris..."
 
But if I want to make Drew laugh,  I've also been known to say "We got cows..." every time we see a pasture full of bovines.
 
Yes, I do have a twisted sense of humor.

6.  Please share something random about your week with us.
 
When I woke up on our last day of vacation, I really, really, really wanted to stay in Florida just one more day.
 
Well, apparently my cell phone felt the same way.  When we returned our rental car at the airport, my phone decided to stay behind.  Fortunately, Enterprise has excellent customer service, and my phone and I were reunited well before my flight took off.

    So glad you were able to get your phone back. My roommate had a similar situation, and we had to mail her phone to Mexico.

    Does anyone channel surf anymore? Ever since I got a DVR, it's been a choice of what's on the DVR to watch?

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
