The video projector is addicting, and I’m watching too much TV! Last night it was the NE Patriots game — and I’m not even a football fan. Tonight, ABC is showing The Sound of Music in HD. I added a back light to give a sense of how it looks. Not huge by projection standards, but just right for the room, which isn’t as dark as the camera makes it seem after adjusting the exposure for the bright screen.
Hey, look who it is! Angela Cartwright, whose name came up in this past post. When I was a kid, besides the huge crush on Angela that I’ve already admitted having from when she was on Lost In Space with Bill Mumy, I thought it was funny that her name was the same as the fictional Cartwrights on Bonanza.
DOINK! Now I’m know I’m getting senile! I thought I knew that movie frame by frame! 😉
“Favorite Things” is before this scene, which is where I came in last night. Yes, 1965 was a great year, with Julie Andrews and Petula and Diana Rigg all on the American scene at the same time.
Oh, no! “Dog Rat” will soon turn into “Couch Potato Central!” Say, have ya watched “Goodbye Mr. Chips” on HD yet? Is it available? Some of us are going into Pet withdrawal again, ya know! And how is the petition drive going?
That scene above is where she initially sings “You are Sixteen, Going on Seventeen” to Charmian Carr, right, then the other kids come in, scared by the thunderstorm, and the unlikely Christmas standard, “My Favorite Things” (I even have a Christmas t-shirt that says that!) starts! I always thought “The Sound of Music” was dreamy, especially when Christopher Plummer went after her in the garden. So what if he hated the movie? I was ten and EVERYTHING seemed romantic to me! Say, didn’t I post something like this last year when I saw “SOM?”
