sovay: (Lord Peter Wimsey)
This was going to be one of those five-things posts, but instead my day went in several different directions than I'd been hoping and I don't really feel like writing them all up. [livejournal.com profile] handful_ofdust sent me Peter Cushing as Winston Smith, which I appreciate. I helped move a dishwasher from Waltham to Somerville on Tuesday and I still have the bruises to prove it. I saw Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band at Johnny D's tonight; they were worth going out for (and losing my gloves).

And this is some of what I was thinking about Ice Cold in Alex (1958) in June 2011, when it was available for a few brief shining moments on YouTube. I tracked it down for John Mills, but the character I ended up thinking the most about was the one played by Sylvia Syms. These things happen.

Two million men. Two million stories. This is one. It happens to be true. )

I will have to rewatch Hobson's Choice (1954) if I'm going to write it up after four years, but I bet I can make that happen.
