-Take four books off your bookshelf.
-Write the first sentence
-Write the last sentence on page fifty
-Write the second sentence on page one hundred
-Write the next-to-last sentence on page one hundred fifty
-Write the final sentence of the book
-Let your friends guess what book it is.
1. Martin Scorsese discovered his parents while shooting the documentary Italianamerican in 1974.
But by this point Marty had already shot part of Who's That Knocking, in 35 millimeter, and didn't have enough money to finish it, so we all volunteered our efforts to help him finish it in 16 millimeter, and then blow it up to 35.
Pre-film hype is high.
It was perfect.
Here, the boy who grew up in the paradox of priests and gangsters, who still explores "the incessant merciless battle between spirit and flesh," dissolves all contradictions and finds the moments where there are no divisions, only a Real Presence.
2. It was so quiet, one of the killers would later say, you could almost hear the sound of ice rattling in cocktail shakers in the homes way down the canyon.
Burdick relieved the pressure cup on Garretson's arm, told him to relax, talked to him informally for a while.
That distance can be traversed in the time it takes to dial a telephone.
Q. "What did he ask you?"
Manson has been threatened by other inmates in the past, and authorities say he seldom ventures out of his cell for fear of being attacked.
3. By eight thirty on the evening of May 19, 2009, a stream of cabs and limos was snaking slowly down West Forty-Third Street, pulling up one by one to the doors of the venerable, somewhat shabby Town Hall.
After all, there was always the chance that the thing could blow up again, at least until Conan formally signed a contract that contained the phrase "Tonight Show."
David Letterman, however, had noticed his show and saw a breakout host in the making.
That reverence only deepened when Conan had occasion later - just a few times - to interact with Johnny.
That, and Harvard.
4. Today Bunn Wackett Buzzard Stubble and Boot came into being, with about five minutes of film shot around Ham House.
So 1970 went out with a well-satisfied belch.
Rosemary rang from the BBC to say they had received a can of real Devon cream addressed to Mr Pither from a dairy in Bovey Tracey!
Left with the feeling that our futures are distinctly unsettled.
As midnight strikes and the first chimes of the 1980s are met by the obligatory cheers of well-oiled Scotsmen on the box, we take photos of ourselves in celebration and agree that whatever happens - barring the work of the Grim Reaper, of course - we will look at these pics together on December 31 1989!
