The Sting was an excellent movie. Slow in a couple of spots but an overall great movie with a nice twist in the end too. Not like those M. Night Shyamalan films where the twist is sometimes just plain crazy. I wasn’t sure how old Robert Redford’s character was suppose to be as they seem to treat him like a kid throughout most of the film. At the time he made the film he was close to 37 years old. Robert Shaw was awesome and Paul Newman was equally good.

Watched My Fair Lady for the first time all the way through. Hakeber of course had already seen it and loved it enough to buy the DVD. I actually enjoyed it even with its long run time of 171 minutes. I found it very interesting that Audrey Hepburn wasn’t even nominated for an Academy Award nor a Golden Globe for her role. I will go ahead and call that a snub.

All Quiet on the Western Front was released in 1930 and won the Oscar in 1931. It is based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque of the same name. This movie is considered an epic and at just over 2 hours I believe it. It was rough to get through this movie but we did it.

My boss came into my office and told me I could no longer Whiskerino. She hit me with the news around 8:30 this morning. So I made the appointment with my barber to do the deed I have been dreading for a longtime. Asked my better half to run home to get the good camera and meet me after work. She has been my constant helper and I want to thank her for putting up with me during this project.
I have waited to participate ever since @bobafred did it two years ago. He got myself, @ChineseWildman and @flc to join as well. I’d liked to think I created a little bit of an impression on here. Got a #discgolf group created and also helped in getting the #users their recognition. This site is all about community and I just started to get to know a lot of you. I was hoping to meet a lot of you at the Throwdown and I was even planning a possible disc golf tournament for that weekend as well. Perhaps someone else can organize that now.
Thanks for all the good times.

The Broadway Melody came out in 1929 and won the award in 1930. It has the distinction of as being the very first musical and the first “talkie” to win the award for Best Picture. Many of the scenes between two individuals on the screen would be very close to each other. Hakeber reminded me that they made light of this in Singin’ in the Rain which depicted the transition of silent films to talkies. Actors would have to stay really close together for the microphone to pick up all the voices in the scene. Needless to say it made some scenes almost seem awkward. Overall it was alright and Hakeber and I made light of all the “swells” the film had.
