Sunday afternoon, Martini in hand, wearing a suit, putting on Bogart movie

[Rabrrrrrr]

Does life get any better than that?

Gonna watch Maltese Falcon (in "widescreen", such as it was back then (there's about a 1/4 inch of black on the top and bottom)) and then Casablanca, which I also purchased in "widescreen" (such as it was back then) version.

What an afternoon!!

I have a feeling there will be a nap involved somewhere in the middle of this.

God, I love Bogart. And I finally bought some Bogart DVDs. Got the two of these on sale at that mall-based abomination called "Sunset Movies" or something, but they were on sale together for $20 and they're both the fancy versions.

WOO HOO!!

Heck, I will likely even have a cigarette with Bogart at some point, even though I'm not much of a smoker.

many years ago, before I moved to NYC and never celebrated New Year's Eve at home any more, my new year's eve and day tradition was to hang out, drink a lot of Old Fashioneds and martinis, and overdose on every Bogart film I had - and often, it seemed, either AMC or WGN or someone would have a Bogart festival on either the Eve or the Day. I really missed it this year, so bought these on New Year's Day.

Now I really have to get my favorite all-time Bogart film - To Have and Have Not.
