“I’m allergic to fabric softener. I majored in comparative literature at Brown. I hate anchovies. And I think I’d miss you even if we never met.” - Nick Mercer (played by Dermot Mulroney)

I don’t know why, but I’ve always been oddly interested in Howard Hughes and his life story. So when The Aviator came out in 2004, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, I was in heaven.

I don’t know why the LA Times is stating that Frank Sinatra died on May 14th, when all the stuff that’s been happening happened yesterday on the 13th, but here’s a rumor I couldn’t bear to ignore:
They’re doing it Frank Sinatra’s way - Ten years after his death, Ol’ Blue Eyes is the color of […]

Continuing on with the “movie room” theme for vintage art, I found this classic movie poster of “Casablanca” featuring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Anyone… I mean ANYONE… who doesn’t find this movie a total classic and who doesn’t appreciate it for it’s entirety is a fool, in my opinion! :)
The colors and the artwork […]

Today marks the 100th birthday of Miss Bette Davis, and the 2nd anniversary of my 29th birthday!
For some reason, whenever I think of Bette, and I do every year on this day, I think of that 80s song, “Bette Davis Eyes”. Well, I used to think of that song first. […]

I remember last year for my birthday (gah, was it a whole year ago?) my parents got me tickets to see a Rat Pack tribute group with a local celebrity, Louis Velez, playing Sammy Davis, Jr.
I also vividly remember when he did the song Something’s Gotta Give, which was one of Sammy’s well known songs. […]

I haven’t seen HBO’s The Rat Pack yet, as I grew up a child/teenager without the luxury of paid premium channels. Heck, I still don’t have them, and the boyfriend’s got the HBO’s for the first 6 months free deal, but after that, he’s canceling. […]
