Watching the Hours Away

Strangers on a Train
Halloween- is going to be my touchstone for new research into slasher flicks
La Strada
Honkytonk Man
American Graffiti- Nick says, "Richard Dreyfuss was always old, wasn't he?"
Forbidden Zone- I can't even say how awful
Le Mepris- c'est pour ca que je ne sors pas avec les mecs francais!
Bee Movie- I always wanted Jerry Seinfeld to make features, but not necessarily this one
27 Dresses- waste of time, whatever
And a Judy Holliday rom-com double feature:
Bells are Ringing- with Dean Martin in a time before voicemail
Born Yesterday- with William Holden, the original

Sighting:
The dimly famous grandpa waiting for his family outside La Brea Bakery on Sunday turned out to be Len Lesser, or Uncle Leo from Seinfeld.
Not even in the same stratosphere as the morning I saw Jake Gyllenhaal getting breakfast with his mother there.

Hot Rods

Leo Villareal is widely applauded for his stimulating LED light sculptures. This one is called Columns 4. You lovely Angelenos with good taste may recognize his work from the Visual Music show at MOCA in 2005.





Watching:
Iron Man
The OC, season 1- is not a reflection of my life
The Decameron
