It Happened One Weekend

my mother (Sherry Moore) appeared in this movie... twice....

my mother (Sherry Moore) appeared in this movie... twice....

Rocky thought she died so well that he wrote her in as her twin sister to kill her again...

when she was in the coffin, as she lay still, he knocked the coffin HARD when he fell on it in his grief, she was thinking "OMG he is going to shut me in this thing!" so she opened her eyes to see what was going on...

Rocky only took ONE take...

so, in the key grief scene as she lay dead in the coffin, the corpse quickly opens its eyes and then promptly closes them

My mother remembered that Rocky was so concerned that this movie be eligible for an Oscar that he moved heaven and earth to get it shown at least once in a theater... which they did, mostly because MOST of the Dallas movie scene was involved in it at one time or another over its many years of creation.

making a corner of the world brighter... yes, totally sappy

yes. very. sappy. you've been warned.

this is a very sweet story… My mother once said to ""at least focus on making your corner of the world brighter… this is that… and its proof that it spreads.

proof that a picture is equal to 1.24 words instead of the oft quoted 1,000.

minutes in gone with the wind: 238 (restored length)
movie frames per sec in 35mm film (24) = 1,440 frames per minute
#minutes x frames per minute = total images in the movie: 342,720

number of words in the book = 423,575 (according to amazon)

Ethan's body

So his head weighs apps 8 lbs
Each arm weighs app 7.5
Each leg weighs app 30 lbs
That would mean his torso weighs about 75 lbs

holiday gift ideas... what to buy for the person who has everything...

Beyond naming a star… This site has very interesting unique gifts. For instance, I purchased a square foot of land for my sister in Scotland (we are part Scottish) that awarded her a Lady Title in 2006. She can go visit her Scottish land whenever she wants now – and insist that people call her Lady Jessica Kimberley… (Not that she does…)

the site has some amazing other experience gifts but you really need to be in Europe to enjoy the Tank Driving Thrill in Leicestershire (for instance.)

Another great idea for out of town people… something they won’t get themselves? Dorothy Lane brownies are otherworldly… 1/3 lb each (YES, really) you will not find them anywhere else… there is nothing else like it. AMAZING

Ethan’s family lived near this grocery store in Ohio when he was young so they had easy access until they moved to Dallas... They were ECSTATIC when DLM started shipping the brownies. I have my personal favorites if you are interested

FINALLY. Know a Texas-Ex living out of state? Salsa and Chili just aren’t the same out of Texas (seriously…its sad)

Luckily El Fenix & Wolfe Brand chili ship from their sites.
