Katie-Bar-The-Door and I are keeping the celebration pretty low key, just the usual collection of jugglers, bikini dancers and session musicians in gorilla suits. We might even squeeze in time for a movie or two.
If you're in the neighborhood, stop on by. We'd love to see you!
Thanks, Thingy. You're the tops, you're the Mona Lisa.
No clowns, I hope. (((shiver))))
I did review a movie with clowns in it once, Lon Chaney's Laugh, Clown, Laugh. He was a crying-on-the-outside, crazy-on-the-inside kind of clown. Classic stuff.
Named for Katie-Bar-The-Door, the Katies are "alternate Oscars"—who should have been nominated, who should have won—but really they're just an excuse to write a history of the movies from the Silent Era to the present day.
To see a list of nominees and winners by decade, as well as links to my essays about them, click the highlighted links:
Remember: There are no wrong answers, only movies you haven't seen yet.
The Silent Oscars
And don't forget to check out the Silent Oscars—my year-by-year choices for best picture, director and all four acting categories for the pre-Oscar years, 1902-1927.
Look at me—Joe College, with a touch of arthritis. Are my eyes really brown? Uh, no, they're green. Would we have the nerve to dive into the icy water and save a person from drowning? That's a key question. I, of course, can't swim, so I never have to face it. Say, haven't you anything better to do than to keep popping in here early every morning and asking a lot of fool questions?

I'm hoping the next year will see me move a little faster on these essays -- if I move any slower, I'll be going backwards. But it sure is fun.
Happy Anniversary Mythical Monkey!!!
