• They say any landing you can walk away from is a good one. I say any landing you can walk away from with a briefcase filled with $250,000 unmarked bills is better. Not that this had anything to do with Dan and my experience when we landed, I'm just saying…

I'm going to take a short nap, and when I wake up, I will be on my way.

After the Gold Rush


• On Saint Patrick's Day of this year, Dan mentioned his intention to visit Aubree in San Francisco in early September (we're all old Tower folk). I commented that he would be gone for my birthday; he countered that I go with him. We ironed out the basic details with Aubree and I bought the tickets back in March ( Read more... )

I first heard Bullitt when I ordered a bunch of soundtrack albums from Warner Japan whilst working at Tower (others in that batch included Elmer Bernstein's The Man With the Golden Arm and the needlepoint score for The Exorcist).

happy birthday
libraspiccfllmt!!!
A very interesting weekend. The Tower reunion picnic was a lot of fun, and Raz and I pulled one of our double feature Sundays, catching up to Eastern Promises and 3:10 To Yuma, both of which were very good. There are quite a few films that I have yet to write about now; I had comments to be made about Stardust, Death at a ( Read more... )
