Not really movie related, but to close the circle, here is my letter to Angie Dickinson:
Ms. Dickison,
I'm writing to you today to say thank you.
Recently, I recalled a formative moment in my life that was inspired by your work...not on the screen...but as an activist.
While brushing my teeth, I flashed back to an appearance on the Tonight Show, some 30 years ago. You admonished America to turn off the tap between brushing and rinsing. Frankly, as a teen, that particular form of waste had never occurred to me. Your message...and I may not be remembering this correctly...was not taken particularly seriously...but it was so common-sensical that I have practiced your advice every day since then.
Long before 'green' became a verb, you inspired a lifetime of environmental awareness in me and, I'm sure, many others.
Thank you very much for that,
Harry Potter movie update:
New Harry Potter trailer to be released on Tuesday
The first teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth movie in the Harry Potter series, will premiere via Satellite on Tuesday. The first worldwide showing of the trailer will air on Tuesday from 9 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. EST. The second airing will show Wednesday from 6 a.m. to 6:15 a.m. EST.
Oh Aims, I totally forgot to tell you, when I was in NYC, I saw a billboard advertising ticket sales for Equus. Unfortunately, they'd gone all minimalistic and only had the play's name and the ticket info on the billboard. No pictures. Otherwise, I might've taken many, many pictures for you, darling.
Or found a way to steal the billboard and having it shipped to Ann Arbor.
I think I need to go back to wizard news to figure out where to see that - to just say via satellite - really isn't enough.
From the link at Wizard News:
The coordinates for the satellite airing are as follows:
Galaxy 28, Transponder 19, C-Band Analog Downlink Frequency: 4080V Audio Configuration: 6.2/6.8
The trailer will likely find its way to the internet shortly after the satellite airing.
Okay, I just saw
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
and loved it. Who here described it as a noir screwball comedy? Because it totally is!
I have got to see that movie--my two favorite genres all in one neat package. No wonder my Tivo keeps recording it for me.
KKBB is faboo! I liked it even better the second time I saw it.
