Casablanca · Oct 15, 09:29 PM

“You won’t a treasure like this in all Morocco.”

Casablanca proves how much modern Hollywood sucks. Also: I’m surprised that I was able to catch as much as I did on my first, possibly second viewing.

Directed: Michael Curtiz, 1947
Summary: Classic Hollywood.

  1. What series of movies are you watching these days?
    You should watch A Rome Holiday next. — Yin    Oct 17, 05:07 PM    #

  2. “The Last Samurai” and “Dances with Wolves” the two nights before the big blow (Wilma). Somewhat of a juxtaposition and
    “Dances” ends sort of down. There she goes just a walkig down the street, singing do was didddy diddy dum diddy do! Arigato! — FerdBirfel    Oct 24, 09:11 PM    #

  3. Yin: I turn on my tv on Sunday night, if I’m home, to watch whatever Fox reruns are up.

    FB: I haven’t seen either yet. If I get a netflix account this winter I may—I’m counting those diddies (all 3) as a recommendation. — Tom    Oct 24, 10:41 PM    #

  4. Sorry Tom
    The do wa diddies were a reference to the song “Windy” or “Wendy” in reference to “Wilma”.

    There she goes
    Just a walking down the street
    singing do wa diddy…

    Ooooooops. Completely wrong reference!

    Who’s peekin’ out from under a stairway
    Calling a name that’s lighter than air
    Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow
    Everyone knows it’s Windy

    Who’s tripping down the streets of the city
    Smilin’ at everybody she sees
    Who’s reachin’ out to capture a moment
    Everyone knows it’s Windy

    And Windy has stor-my eyes
    That flash at the sound of lies
    And Windy has wings to fly
    Above the clouds (above the clouds)
    Above the clouds (above the clouds)

    Oh bother. Spoiled the honey! — Ferdbirfel    Oct 26, 04:49 PM    #
