Finding Me In 2023 ~ August 2023 Challenge

Fantastic movie and page Jennifer!!!!

 

Here's my page for the challenge! I think I look much "better"" with him than Olivia Newton-John was! Hahahaha

 

Great page Merethe! I also saw Star Wars like 5 times!Hahaha

YES! I 100% agree with you! Audiences in 70's had never experienced anything like it!!!
All those effects were simple the best that we had ever saw in a movie!
Here is a page with Lucas sketches for the effects - HERE
I read that one of the most important practical effects which were reused throughout the original Star Wars trilogy were matte paintings -refers to painting landscapes to create the illusion that a scene is taking place within that environment. -.
The decades-old technique allowed for Lucas to shoot awe-inspiring wide shots without building massive (and expensive) sets.

 

@cfile I loved reading your journaling and knowing your preferences!

I didn't saw "I married a Witch" movie, but I saw the "Bewitched" TV series that the creator of it said that he drew inspiration both from this film and Bell Book and Candle in creating the iconic TV series.
I used to watch it with my brothers on our pajamas!
Then when Gabi was 8-10 years old I watched several episodes of Bewitched in a cable channel in a daily rerun!
We try to make the Samantha's nose twitch in vain...hahaha
I read that Elizabeth Montgomery didn't actually twitch her nose to cause Samantha's magic to occur; she twitched her upper lip, causing her nose to follow.

 

@garrynkim Love your page!!! I love all the Indiana Jones movies! After with the DVD advent I use always played it on TV – because no matter how many times you watch them, you’re always going to find something to love about them.But I must to confess that I didn't see the "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" until now...

When I was a kid, movies used to be more memorable. Indiana Jones was one of those notable characters that helped shape my fantasies during childhood.
My favorite part of the series?! When Indy is invited to a Maharaja’s Palace and feasts with the residents and guests. The menu? Live snakes, fat-ass beetles and an eye ball soup! What’s for dessert? Chilled monkey brains ! Hahaha

 

Yes she was really a super star!
About her famous quote she said: "I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is a whole world of difference."

But after Garbo's death her friends feel a little freer to talk about the woman they loved. And they said:
She always took in the city sights with a brisk stride, athletic air and erect posture, wrapped in mannish pants and unadorned cloth coats, shod in flat loafers, and hidden by a fedora and sunglasses.

Mostly, New Yorkers left her alone, except for the occasional prying photographer or startled tourist or “kook,” as she put it. When strangers would ask, “Are you who I think you are,” she would reply simply, “No,” or put her index finger to her mouth and say, “Shhh.”

 

Unlike you, horror movie is one of my favorite genres since I was a little kid, "The Shining", "Poltergeist" "Halloween",a nd the best one f my childhood: "The Omen"...I really I was REALLY terrified that the antichrist would come and take over mankind...
One of the great things about childhood is how easy it is to access the distinct delight of being scared out of your mind. Now as anAdult I just have more trouble getting goosebumps. That’s because experience is the enemy of true terror. You may shriek the first time you see “ The Exorcist,” but the second or third time you might only shudder. That’s why us dedicated horror fans sometimes have a hard time finding a really nerve-rattling movie.
The "Exorcism of Emily Rose" was one what scared me the most majorly because I do believe that can happen, and also because it has the intriguing quote at the begging “based on a true story,” and films of demoniac possession...I really believe they can happen!

LOVE you page!

 

WOW 188 movies? Wish I could read your list!!!

 

You are more than welcome!!! looking forward to see your page!
