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?

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.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
