So the other night I wandering around Facebook (that mind numbing, soul robbing phenom) making my way through the acres of quiz results, when I came across a half dozen posts from one of my "friends"
He's at a concert and from the concert he is giving a play by play, or should I say song by song, breakdown of the show. Complete with lyrics and the memories that the songs are stirring.
May I make a suggestion? PUT DOWN THE DAMN PHONE AND WATCH THE SHOW!! ENJOY THE SONGS! If you must write about it , do it later at home!!!!!!!! BUT NOW WATCH THE SHOW!!
What the hell are we letting ourselves become? Can't we have an experience any more? Do we have to stand outside and comment on everything? We're becoming like the Japanese tourists (sorry Japan for the gross generalization) we all use to make fun of, who would travel the world and see everything thru the cameras viewfinder.
for the love of god........don't be that guy.

.......that guy
you're at an intersection- four way stop sign.
The guy, let's say the guy to your right is sitting there not moving, no blinker on- decides he's going to direct traffic , so he waves you on. You know that little flip of the wrist thing "go on! C'mon what are you waiting for?"
invariably he has tinted windows so you can barely see his pitiful wave anyway.
Don't be that guy.

Is there a better television station than TCM? Don't think, I'll answer for you.......NO.-
Watched "GRAPES OF WRATH" Last night- it is August, time for SUMMER UNDER THE STARS, each day devoted to a different star. Yesterday , Henry Fonda.
There are so many incredible moments and performances in that movie, moments that even the casual movie fan are familiar with... "wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy , I'll be there..."
But as I watched the movie again last night there was a scene early on that took my breath away- Pa Joad and the two kids go into a diner and ask to buy a loaf of bread for 10 cents.
It can't possibly last much more than a minute and other than Pa and the kids all the actors are supporting players but it is played perfectly ,not one false note. It is filled with disdain and humility and misunderstanding and finally compassion and simple charity.
This scene could have gone soooooooooo wrong but it becomes a thing of simple beauty.
Get this movie- watch it again
