Movies: "Crime and Punishment" and "The Man Who Knew Too Much"

Jun 19, 2009 23:01

We don't have a TV at my place. If I want to watch a movie, I put it on this computer, or use my parents' laptop if a bunch of us all want to crowd around a screen. You can't find everything you want on DVD, though. So I've been having an ongoing midweek film session. If I have a Wednesday or Thursday with nothing else to do in the early ( Read more... )

This is a stupid comment to this post, and for that, I apologize. BUT

"Arkham Women's College" makes me snicker a lot. <3

I GOT YOUR E-MAIL. I'm just terrible about writing back. I'll be back on the East Coast come the first of July, living a mere two hours from you, down in Providence. The visiting, it shall happen.

HARTS.

I'm very proud to be able to check out any book I like from Arkham Women's College, after years of being a mere townie ^_^

Welcome, welcome, welcome! I'll be very glad to see you again. *harts yu too*

Oh Gryphon friend of teenybuffalo: you can come to Readercon! (one hour North) Also, to most excellent series of Monday night author presentations in Norwich, Connecticut (one hour south). I will send the schedule to teeny.

Teeny: I've always known that you were "belated" (as Clute calls it), but your stolen evenings watching videocassettes at Arkham Women's (ditto on the great name!)just confirmed my judgment. Pure late 80s-early 90s entertainment! It also reminded me of a funny incident in 1993, when I had a sabbatical and was given a much-coveted office in a normally unvisited corner of the Academy Library. One Monday I opened the door, which somehow had been left unlocked, and I saw all the signs of cadet ingenuity in arranging a hot date. An empty pizza box, the Library's TV and VCR on a cart, and a used condom in the wastebasket. Dinner and a show.

I was just thinking about how much I like stuff from the past, whether it be the recent past or the further back. Occasionally I fantasize about being born in the nineteen-teens, or Colonial days, or earlier or later. (If I'd been around in the thirties, I would have joined an APA, turned into a semi-obscure poetess, and been one of the flock of women with futile crushes on H.P. Lovecraft, who never even noticed.) There are so many trends I'd like to pursue and styles I'd like to adopt ( ... )
