Kestra and RoMax's Valentine Extravaganza!
- Thread starter Robert Maxwell
- Start date
Hehehe. It's true that I prefer the sea over mountains but I also spent nearly half my life in the south so a setting in the mountain isn't exotic to me at all.
Still. I made an assumption. I have embarrassed myself and deserve a severe tar and feathering.My posting a bunch of pictures of London may have had something to do with that.
No worries!
At least you have interesting mountains to look at. The mountains here are dull, brown, and not all that impressive.
You've never seen The Sound of Music?
For anyone who grew up in the U.S. during the 70's it was almost impossible to miss. Back in the days of only 3 channels, SoM and The Ten Commandments where always played once a year (and the other two channels knew better than to schedule anything worth while against them). Both where almost considered an "Event" to some. As far as I know one of the Big 3 still does show them each year, there are just way more options now.
Easter, It seems to me that often one of these would be shown on or around Easter.
If memory serves. I Think it is The Ten Commandments that usually hits right around Easter. I could be mistaken because I haven't watched either since I was a kid.

When I was growing up King Kong (the original) was played once a year at thanksgiving and was our traditional "Event". Now that's a movie everyone should see!! Incredibly atmospheric.

That's it! But I don't like any of those people!
When I was growing up, the re-make came out (mid 70's). I remember looking forward to getting a chance to visit the twin towers when I got older. Never imagined that I wouldn't get the chance.
Gee, thanks.
I'm joking here in case I have to actually spell it out.
The remake was fun but the original King Kong was incredible.

Aye, Tea.
I know that, thus the

I'm not sure if I've seen it in its entirety, but from what I've seen of the three, I would go: Original, J.Black Remake, 70's remake.

I saw the stage version on Broadway and the movie when it first came out, and then never again until I subscribed to Netflix. I enjoy it now as much as I remembered from my teens.
^^ I've seen the stage version a couple of times at my local theater.
Ah, the original King Kong. One of my top five movies of all time.
Not happy to not be (friendly)crushing on anyone this year. Crushing makes life sweeter. 
Well, I've had a ten year long crush here, but I don't think that's what this thread is about. I guess I really am "middle-aged"...

In my country, the film version was part of the national broadcast schedule in the event of a nuclear war. True story:

Bah, I'll throw my hat in.
I was planning to send out Violet Carsons myself. They know who they are...
(nah, just kidding...)
This whole thing was thought up so you could do that without another living soul knowing, right?
