“Old Man Thinketh” II

It was 2004. He was a total stranger. However, during our first Amtrak trip from Los Angeles to New York, my then pregnant wife and I felt compelled to remain in the company of a wise, elderly black man for most of our trip.

During our frequent meals together, the well-mannered man told us old stories about The South and shared with us his wisdom. I snuck a photograph of him. I titled it, “Old Man Thinketh”. He eventually got off in Chicago..off to see his grandkids, and we never saw the old m...

[image error]What Genre of Movies Do You Enjoy?

MrsS

Shavar: Hey. I enjoy all genres of movies but if I had to pick a favorite it would be “Thrillers“. I like cerebral films — movies that encourage me to figure out something.

I like dramas and comedies too.

Some of my favorite movies are (off the top of my head): The Color Purple, Carlito’s Way, Far And Away, Vanilla Sky, Road to Perdition, Glory, and others.

I don’t go to the movies much but I still enjoy going whenever my family and I are up to it.

‘Good Times’ Movie in the Works at Sony Pictures

[image error]

I don’t know if you’ve heard but yes, there may be a “Good Times” movie coming to a theater near you — so get your Dynomite t-shirt out the attic.

A Good Times movie? Huh? I know, right? Can’t wait to see how they’re gonna pull this one off — but we may actually have something if they keep the era in the 1970s.

What do you think? Dynomite?

Anyway, Columbia Pictures is looking to bring a version of 1970s CBS TV hit Good Times to the big screen. Scott Rudin and Eli Bush are producing the Good Time...
