lately


The past few nights I've been staying up past 3a.m. watching the old game show called "What's my line?" on YouTube. It was on CBS from 1950 to 1967. It's quit addicting. The object of the game is to guess the celebrity. There is a blind folded panel, sometimes the same and sometimes other celebrities would play. Each celebrity that came on was asked numerous questions from the panel, so they can try and figure out who they were. Elizabeth Taylor would disguise her voice very high pitched to trick the panel and Peter Lawford would act as a french man. Its so funny to me to see how different things were back then. Almost over 60 years ago now. Watching all the movie stars talk about there "new films" coming out, and advertising to the audience to go see them. I think that's why I enjoy watching old films and anything from that time, it tells us so much about the past and how much has really changed. Especially silent films, they are the very beginning of the film industry that has now expanded so big that it blows my mind everyday. I am striving to help keep classic movies alive forever, and talk about them with people who share the same love for them as I do.
