I don't know how young I was when I first saw these two movies--maybe in junior high. Hud was the inspiration for my first writing attempt. My version was called "Hut." My recollection is that I wrote one pitiful paragraph.
"No-neck monsters" was a favorite descriptor for years.
Oh, Hello Skycatcher. I'm one of the voyeurs who visits your blog from time to time. Mrs. Norris
"Hut"? that's funny. Hey, renwai, glad to have you here.I was young too when I saw Hud, but immediately feel in love with Newman, and it was a film ahead of its time. I want to see it again.
Sweetwife Don't you remember the dangers of one's having too high expectations? You are a meddlesome little cutey but I love you. Skycatcher--I remember being rather smitten with Newman myself. I think I first became disenamored when he split with Woodward because I really liked her also. I saw most movies back in the day when we could get in for 10 cents and buy a boatload of candy for 5. My tooth fairy paid 10 cents per tooth. When I wanted to go to a movie, I'd pull a tooth. The fairy put an end to that practice when I started trying to loosen up my permanent teeth. Ahh--the good old days. We had a wonderful soda shop right next door to the movie theatre in Montpelier, Idaho where we bought candy and cream sodas. However, a few blocks from my home, we also had a mom and pop store named Hookers. I wrote a poem once with the first line, "When Hookers was a candy store," As I remember the poem was rather smaltzy, but Don Hunter loved the first line so I got a good grade. I think you arrived at Ricks just after I left as a student and secretary for Ron Messer when he was chairman of the English Department. I've always heard good things about you. Norris
Hey, good idea, Charity. renwai, I adored R. Messer and his family. He was my bishop and mentor, and Don Hunter sealed Jim Papworth and me in the temple ( not that it . . . never mind). Hey, am I wrong? I thought Newman and Woodward were still together.(What an actress. I loved her in Sybil, Three faces of Eve, etc.)
JG-- you've got to stop spreading rumors about Chad's dad, or old hipsters, like moi, will paint his garage red with a white target in the middle. Here's his version:
"Joe got the story a little wrong—I worked for the forest service one summer, and my foreman’s dad beat up Bob Dylan. They went to the same high school and my boss’s dad and his buddies were driving down the highway when they saw him walking along the road with a guitar. They piled out of the pickup, roughed him up, broke his guitar over his head, and took off. Apparently whenever Corey’s dad has had too much to drink he gets around to telling that story. And they wonder up there why Dylan doesn’t like to go home much. Go figure." Ahhhhhh. Horror story. Repent, Joe, or Chad may be in terrible danger; I’m still amazed at how Dylan's reluctantly-written lyrics named and moved a whole generation. But he’s a hero of mine.
Has anyone heard any good about the new Dylan film—showing Dylan fighting for his own space? Kate Blanchet plays a young Dylan, and I can’t quite get my mind around that one.
Hey, Jordon (Cooper's former owner) needs to borrow Cooper for a couple hours tomorrow. He'll be in touch with you, so answer your phone! 509-951-5008 in case he misses you. He needs him around 5PM. Thanks!
Jordan couldn't call you today because we couldn't find or remember your phone number or address. Can you call him if you get this before tomorrow by 5PM? Sorry we're so forgetful.
You're right. Newman and Woodward are still together after 50 years. So, I am wracking my diminished memory for the source of input which left me with the distinct impression they'd split. If nothing else, I can add to the body of evidence that memories and perceptions are often faulty. Norris

I've never seen either of these bad boys. Worth seeing, I gather from your posting them?

You two should get together for a movie night and dessert. You'd dig each other. S&M when would be good for you. What movie do you want to see?
Norris, I know you're plenty occupied with grand-kids, but some intelligent, adult female companionship (especially Sharon) would be perfect for you.
Sharon, I'm much more meddlesome with boys and Emily. You'd be either proud or scared. Norris will blow you away with her intellect and clever humor.
