Movie Season
Comments (25)pidge, I started another thread with info regarding sleep apnea and CPAP. Seems like I hijacked your movie season thread. LOL Like your friend, I feel the CPAP device is a real pain in the yang but it beats having a stroke or heart attack during sleep. During my testing in the hospital I stopped breathing 32 times an hour. An apnea episode has to be no breathing for a minimum of 10 seconds. Among other symptoms, many times I would wake up with my head feeling like it was about to explode...SEVERE headache. The sleep doctor said it was due to lack of oxygen. Many sleep apnea sufferers have strokes and heart attacks during sleep due to lack of oxygen. Oh, yeah...I told ya. My fingers don't know when to shut up. Now, I'll go to the new thread. It is boring reading but I hope it can enlighten someone who may suffer from this or have a loved one that may....See Morenew favorite movie kitchen/house
Comments (14)I loved the It's Complicated house as well. The whole time they were talking of a kitchen remodel I was thinking I would take that one even if it is not practical. I also loved her bed and bath. I now find myself loving movie kitchens that have older elements in them and that are not so put together. Like old appliances or older flooring, etc. I find that they feel comforting and like a lot of love has gathered in those spaces. The kitchen in "The Family Stone" is an example. Another movie kitchen and house I love is the primary residence on "Spanglish". I didn't get to see much of "The Kids Are Alright" as I had little ones staring up at the TV in the first few seens so it had to be removed and have yet to finish it! I would love to have a movie set designer do my house. A couple of other websites for movie houses is homeshoothome.com. These are real houses marketed for movie filming. The houses from "Step Brothers" and "The Hangover" are on this site. iamnotastalker.com has some good movie house info. There is also one more site with malibu in the title that also involves real homes being marketed for film, but I can't remember the name right now....See MoreAnyone remember 'Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House?'
Comments (13)Such a great, great, great movie. I have a story about it and I swear on my children's lives absolutely true. Tragic ending, IMO.... Sometime in the mid-80's, as was typical, teen me is chilling out in the pre-5000 channel era watching an old movie on a Sunday afternoon. I love Cary Grant, and have parents that are renovation addicts, so this one is particularly fun for me. Mom comes in and joins me, we laugh at the silliness and finally she says, " Uncle L has that house." Me, "Who?" "My uncle L, he's W's father." "Why don't I know him?" "Because he's an abusive and mean old SOB that no one likes very much, but he built my Aunt M that house - she's the one that died long ago in the car accident." "He doesn't have THAT house!" "Yes, yes he does, they built a bunch of them to promote the movie, although he couldn't get one of those. But, Aunt M wanted one. So one day he just called the studio in Hollywood. He actually talked to a producer on the phone and convinced them to send him the plans. I'm pretty sure they still have the plans and signed letter from the producer that came with them. He also owns a whole bunch of land where he goes hunting and fishing - he had all the timber and siding on the house cut from his own property and waited for it to cure before he built the house. It's an amazing, beautiful house." I was in it since that conversation, and yes, it was. Here's the tragic part - the immediate family never told anyone when it was time to sell it. My uncle died 9 yrs. ago this Spring (he lived in the house until his death in his 90's) and DH and I were looking to move to the town he had lived in to be closer to DH's work. We live in that town today. We really wanted to buy it but my cousin insisted on selling some of the land separately for commercial zoning - we didn't want commercial property right up against us, so we said no thanks. The house with a small amount of yard around it ended up being sold at auction for less than $200,000, I believe it is being used as a rental property and every time I drive by it I want to cry. It looks terrible and unloved, and honestly, the old guy had kept very good care of it until the last couple years. It has such an amazing story behind it, and I am sure that almost no one knows that it is a Blandings Dream House - except my cousin, I don't even know how much his own kids know about the story or if he kept the paper work that went with it. I would love to put the word out about it, because I believe there are organizations that keep track of the houses built in the promotion that try to get them preserved. But I'd just feel like I'm screwing over my cousin, and that the fools that don't take care of it now could stand to make a killing on it just because of what it is. Too bad, isn't it?...See MoreWhy don't they make movies I want to see? What's your dream movie?
Comments (28)It seems to me that Hollywood only makes three movies these days: The movie about running real fast and engaging in physically impossible acrobatics while things blow up all around. The fart joke movie. The dysfunctional relationships movie, which has two variants: pseudo-inspirational and frankly depressing. Of course, these can be combined, as for instance, in the upcoming remake of Murder on the Orient Express which seems to combine Hercule Poirot, superhero, with the most dreary-looking trainload of miserable people you ever saw. So I just don't go. The suggestion to go to an art house is clearly made by people who live in very major metro areas. I live just north of a major metro area, but still about 90% of the movies I might possibly wish to see do not play within 150 miles of where I live. I see about one movie a year in the theater. Unfortunately, I do keep up with what's current when visiting my brother who has every known streaming service. I'm astounded at how fatiguing it is to try to be entertained....See Morearcy_gw
