A SALUTE TO YOU AND "FRIDAY MOVIE SUGGESTION NIGHT"! (PART 3)



Aside from being professionally and personally swamped, I have really struggled with what to BLOG about. I'm not even sure how the week will end up. So, I've decided to post a series of Clips inspired by a suggestion from my new Blog Bud: 3 Magpies. I do so not to be self-congratulatory over "Friday Movie Suggestion Night". Rather, to raise my own glass to a series I started here 3 years ago with only two emotions: Love and Passion. Here is a scene that is among the Top 10 that has stayed with me from the first time I saw it in a movie theater. And I think it will remain with me...forever.

Salute!

I'm really busy too, but you are doing better than me at keeping up your regular posts.

I have made contact with the reporter from Kake-TV, btw.

I can't see what you are alluding to but again, I salute you, my friend! You do make time to do what matters to you and I so admire that!

Ellee: Sorry I wasn't much help on that one. I was glad to hear this!

Morning, Patti: I'll still need a balance as 1 AM is too late to be on my computer and missing other responsibilities. But I'll gain a handle on it! lol!

PBS: Very sweet of you, thanks! :)

Dari: Magic is nice, but I believe in miracles! :)

jean-luc picard: FMSN is going to require a great deal of thought in 2009. It's a lot of work. But life direction and responsibilities are calling. So, let us see what happens next. Many thanks!!! :)

Lisa B: lol! So long as I can balance and nothing else suffers. But as I mentioned to the Captain above, I'll be taking a fair look at FMSN. Things change for us all and that's not a bad thing. :)

p m: The Tango Scene required (I believe) 3 days of shooting. Pacino derived the blind stare fromhis then 3 year old daughter who showed him an impersonation of how a blind person appears with their eye movement and he adapted this to the movie. I believe he also brought this up this story at his AFI Lifetime Achievement Award Ceremony last year.
