Questions:
1. What's something good that's happened to you this year? Everyone in my family is still healthy and have been able to keep working. And we've been able to go to church since May (a month or so of outdoor services followed by indoor with plenty of precautionary measures). And in the recent hurricane named after me (Laura), my relatives survived with only minor damage to their homes.
2. What was your favorite movie when you were ten years old? Probably The Quiet Man (1952). John Wayne has been the guy for me for as long as I can remember ;)
3. Have you ever discovered you now like a movie or book that you used to dislike? When I first saw The Maltese Falcon (1941) I was so disappointed by the ending I said the entire movie stunk. Then I gave it a second chance and realized how amazing it is. But usually my first inclination stays with me.
4. How long have you been blogging? Well, I started my first blog, Solidmoonlight, in late 2012. I started my movie blog in October 2014.
5. What's your favorite joke? "Fat and Skinny went to bed. Fat rolled over. Skinny's dead."
~ Morey Amsterdam
6. What's a movie or book that people are surprised to learn you enjoy? They might be surprised when they first learn I love Rocky (1976). I have three Rocky t-shirts so I don't always have to tell them ;)
Wearing my Rocky shirt on another set of stairs that Sylvester Stallone ran on. I didn't know it at the time, but Jack Lemmon chased Stallone down these stairs located at the Bethesda Terrace in Central Park in The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975). You can watch the scene below.
7. Do you play croquet? *opens mouth extremely wide and curtsy's* YES! Your Majesty.
8. How many blog posts have you published? On this blog, 420.
9. What's the next book you plan to read? Well, the next book I WANT to read is Straight Shooting by Robert Stack. As soon as my library starts letting people request items from other libraries I will!
10. What's the next movie you plan to watch? Whatever's next on my TCM watchlist :)
11. Do you want to build a snowman? I'd rather go sledding :)
I always struggle to come up with bloggers who haven't already been nominated so I'm just going to stop here :)
