I know it's hard to remember a lot of this stuff it's funny somethings stick out while others are vague. Then there are times where your memory Plays tricks on you. You see things a certain way and when you go back and revisit it it's not the way you remember it. I think what's more important is the nostalgic feeling behind it not what you actually remember. Jake this is a good thread.
Thanks, Tony, I like it too it gives a chance to jar our memory, and that's good for us, I think. You're right about going back and rewatching things and them not being as we remember them. That's happened to me a lot. And I do like the feeling you get, relieving old memories of the past.
Great advice, Tony, it will serve them well. Ours are grown and gone, but really successful, and doing great, all three of them. We must have said something that helped them.
Yeah, ours was outside, running up out of a pole to 10 ft above the house, and we still only had two channels sometimes, and fuzzy tv or verticle lines, at other times. When you were setting it for Daddy you had better do it right or you would be headed for the woodshed.
I remember our first TV had a four or five inch screen and the TV weight a ton. What happened to make the picture bigger my father went out and bought a "bubble". It was dome-shaped and look like half a bubble. I believe it was filled with mineral oil and it hung with wires from the top of the TV, so that the bubble was over the screen. It magnified the picture.
I like to see that one, bet it was a sight to see. I have a sony, that's old out in my storage building, now that's huge and weighs a ton. It was still working when I put it out there, but it weighs too much to move around. It has a large front screen on it but is big all around.
One of my top rung Cowboys is John Wayne. One of my favorite movies by him is Red River made in 1948.
I think I may have seen it, I know I saw one with Montgomery Clift in it with him but it's been a while, so not sure if was that one.
Saw this one, Tony. Natalie Wood... The Searchers (1956). He never legally changed his given name, Marion Morrison. He thought his epitaph should be “Feo, Furete y Formal” (“Ugly, Strong and Dignified”). He died in 1979 at age 72, yet he’s been voted into the top 10 of every Harris Poll Favorite Movie Star list since the list began in 1994.
I know I've seen the searches but don't ask me what it's about, funny thing about movies as I watch them if I've seen them before it all starts coming back to me. I don't believe there are too many John Wayne westerns that I haven't seen including from his early days
Same with me, I can't tell the plot, but I remember the movie and the actors. Sometimes, I will remember after thinking about it, all of a sudden, it will start to come to me.
