1st Anniversary!

As I was loading this blog on my profile, it just occurred to me that it was one year ago today that I created it.  It has certainly changed since then!

So far, Captain Von Trapp is on!

I am now contemplating Christopher Plummer for the role of the protagonist's grandfather.

I keep track of what movies I've seen with my favorite stars.  Of him, I just found out I've seen Syriana, Up, Dolores Claiborne, The Sound of Music, An American Tail, Dracula 2000, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and A Beautiful Mind. (There's also Twelve Monkeys which I own used on VHS but haven't watched yet)

Actually, a family member recommended Plummer in case Mickey and Betty croaked.  Now I guess I'm returning the favor!

Upon looking him up on IMDb, I was surprised to see how many of his films could be described as "contemporary" (considering he was born in 1929).

Let's see how many of the actors I have in mind decide to sign!
