Description
1. My idea of a good time is watching movies ALL day. (Not ALL the time - just every now and again! - I love marathons, whether it be all day of Laurel and Hardy, or even a whole day of Twilight Zone episodes.)
2. Around 1977, 1978 (when I was just sixteen to seventeen and a senior in high school) I first started to become seriously interested in old movies. I remember seeing That's Entertainment with my dad and asking him "who's that?, who's that?" etc. for all the actors in the clips. I watched all the great musical numbers and decided I wanted to SEE these movies for myself.
5. The first silent film I ever saw (aside from very scratchy old Chaplin films and other shorts they used to show at Shakey's Pizza Parlour years ago) was Harold Lloyd in The Kid Brother - a cut-up version screened on my local PBS November 17, 1979. (How do I remember the date you may ask: 'cause I actually marked it down in my now dog-earred copy of Our Gang: The Life and Times of the Little Rascals, next to the photo of Jackie Condon with Harold Lloyd taken during the filming of the movie.) I was eighteen years old.
