I've talked about the What's Up, Doc? screening before but I wanted to show you the Peter Bogdanovich picture during the Q&A on the stage. Most of what he had to say he said on the DVD commentary, but it was great to see and hear him in person. The Castro was the perfect venue to show this movie in San Francisco. The theater was packed and seeing the film on the big screen with an appreciative audience beats watching the DVD at home any time.
Having had my kitchen and bathroom remodeled, I know how difficult it is to find a good contractor!
Another clipping from my collection. I don't know from what (which means I probably cut it out of a magazine from the school library), but something tells me it's from one of the women's magazines of the day.
Staples Center sent out this letter to VIP ticketholders during the "final four" concerts.
Barbra makes a "cameo" in the movie Don't Answer the Phone.
Robert Redford's birthday was last week ("Happy birthday Bob") and turned 75. NBC Nightly News did a report about it. Not surprisingly, they opened the piece with a clip from The Way We Were (I was expecting that). Later they showed some unpublished images from a Life cover story they did on him back in 1970. One of the clips showed Robert Redford at Times Square hailing a taxi. When I saw the image I flipped out! It's hard to tell, but if you look closely in the background you can see the Criterion theater marquee. . . .and they were still showing the roadshow version of Funny Girl!
