Christmas Eve

[ksmith]

For a half-hour or so, a classic snow fell. Big, fat flakes, falling straight down. It was beautiful. I'll think about the shoveling later.

jemck advised making it a movie/relaxation day, and that's about what the traffic can bear. It will be a Peter O'Toole mini-festival, The Lion in Winter and How to Steal a Million.. Everyone has heard of Lion, but HTSAM is a classic 60s Euro-caper flick, light, romantic, with Audrey Hepburn looking gorgeous and Peter O'Toole looking...gorgeous. I haven't seen it in years, and I hope it holds up--I saw the original Pink Panther last year, and confess to having been disappointed.

Try adding another less-known O'Toole film: The Stunt Man. However, keep away from the eggnog before watching; it'll screw with your mind enough all by itself.

I saw that film when it first came out. It was a good one.

In fact, the first time I saw this film, they showed the reels out of order, so you can imagine...

We all got free passes, and I went to see it again. In order this time.
