Happy Holidays everyone.
Yesterday, at our Big Short Meetup, the movie is wonderful by the way, a few people told me that they would like to schedule movies, but they don't want the responsibility of being an organizer. So, I am extending this offer to everyone. If there's a movie you would like to see with the group, let me know and, if at all possible, I will schedule and organize it. You can reach me through this e-mail.
Second, this weekend I saw the Visconti movie, Rocco and his Brothers, at the Brattle. A movie made in the 60's, it was recently restored by a team headed by Scorcese. This particular movie inspired many moviemakers who came after, including, of course, Scorcese and Tarantino. It's a 3-hour experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone in the group. The Brattle is showing it many times in December and January. If you do go to see it, make sure you are well-rested and perhaps bring a snack. But it's everything a movie should be.
Again, happy holidays. When I think about all the blessings I've received this past year, this group counts as one of the best.
Shirley,
