Buck Rogers and Scarlett O'Hara
..
I just had the wonderful experience of seeing "Gone With The Wind" on the big screen at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences on Wilshire Blvd.
To start the night off, they showed News Clips of the Gone With the Wind premiere.
Very exciting to see a Clark Gable interview.
First, a wonderful panel discussion on Gone with the Wind and it included some of the child actors from the movie.
Then they showed the first in the Buck Rogers serial.
If you ever get a chance to see one of these, I really recommend it.
Buck Rogers' is a pilot whose plane crashes and he is frozen - until the year 2440 or thereabouts.
He then because an astronaut / pilot in the new time period.
The serials were made in the 1930s - so it is funny to see what they thought modern technology would look like.
For example, in the 1930s there was no knowledge yet of computers. So when the Scientists in 2440 have to look things up, they are still using Books.
This got major laughs from the audience.
And then the screening of the nearly 4 hour long "Gone With the Wind". Including intermission.
This is truely one of the most outstanding romantic movies ever made.
Gorgeous on the big screen.
Of course, I could go on and on about the Dysfunctional relationships in Gone with the Wind.
But I won't - its meant to be a dramatic romance and it sure is.
I'll just blame everything on Ashley - if he had married Scarlett, whom he loved - and not the other woman who was the perfect wife - well, none of this would have happened.
Ashley and Scarlett would have settled down to a crazy married life wrapped around her self-absorbed behavior, and everyone would have been happy.
Instead, everyone married people they didn't love - and its emotional torture.
Then of course there is Clark Gable as the dashing Rhett Butler - and its a major melodramatic romance.
I loved every minute of it !

Spider-man and Mel Brooks
As it turned out, we switched on a cable station while waiting for the last person to arrive.
And Mel Brooks hysterical comedy, History of the World Part 1 was on.
I had never seen it. And it was so funny.
So after the last friend arrived, we kept the cable station on, and watched Mel Brooks instead.
And then, since one friend had never seen Spiderman 2 - that was the second choice for our double feature.
So we had an afternoon of watching the funny Mel Brooks and the friendly neighbor Spider-man.

Movie Day
It was a Movie day for me today over at the Arclight Cinemas .
I was running late, so my friends bought a ticket for me to see "DreamGirls" ...at Arclight Dome Theatre . They leave my ticket with the ticket taker.
Its assigned seating in the Arclight. You pick the seat you want to sit in when you buy your ticket.
And by the time I get there, the previews are over and the movies starting - and its pitch black in the theatre.
The usher says "Follow Me" - and he takes off towards my seat.
I can't find him. I can't see anything. Because it is completely dark in the theatre.
I find the usher again. Same thing. He says "Follow me" and He takes off again.
I am left standing in the dark.
The usher comes up to me at says "You aren't following me"
I say "Its because I can't see you."
After the movie, we run over and have Dinner at Kabuki on Vine.
I get a Tempera combo with salmon. Very good.
Then my friends and I head off the see the second movie of the day,
"The Holiday".
A very cute holiday movie.
We stop off and have desert in the Arclight Cafe.
I order a Decaf, and a carrot cake. The carrot cake is delicious.
