Inklings // December 2025 / Holiday

 I'm excited to be doing Inklings again! 

 It is a monthly prompt were you post a scene from a book or movie using the month's prompt.

The prompt for December is a party scene in a book or film. 
It is hosted by Along the Brandywine
Holiday (1938) is one of my favorite Cary Grant movies. And I love this scene with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn having their own party with friends while the main party is going on below.

The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca and The Swamp Fox

Image
 My favorite TV series Disney made was their historical fiction shows in the 50s and 60s.  While Davey Crockett was probably their most famous historical show; Disney also made other shows such as; The Swamp Fox, Texas John Slaughter, and Elfego Baca.  For this post I'm going to be talking about the two shows I'm most familiar with, "The Swamp Fox" and "The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca." "The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca" (1958-1960)  Based on the true story of Elfego Baca, (played by Robert Loggia), this series is one of my favorite westerns.  The episodes were introduced by Walt Disney, and had a catchy theme song.  The pilot episode tells the true story of when Elfego Baca held of eighty cowboys who fired 4,00 bullets in to the shack he was holding up in; and he wasn't even wounded.  The series lasted for ten episodes, and most, if not all, of them can be found on YouTube.  "The Swamp Fox" (1959-1961)  Based on the true story story of Re...

Against the Crowd Blogathon 2021

 I am doing the Against the Crowd Blogathon hosted by Dell on the Movies , for the first time ever.  It is a blogathon where you write about a movie you hated that had a high rating according to Rotten Tomatoes; and a movie you loved that had a low rating.    The Princess Bride (1987)  To be honest the first 15 to 20 minutes is pretty funny, but this movie is a hour and ten  minutes too long.  The romance story is just dumb (like most of the movie), and not funny; and how was the torture scene even suppose to be funny?!  I really don't understand why people like this movie so much.    The Million Dollar Duck (1971)  Of course after talking about how dumb The Princess Bride was I'm going to talk about how I like a movie about a duck that starts laying eggs with a golden yolk, after eating some strangely made applesauce and getting accidentally zapped by radiation.   I guess this movie is also kind of dumb, but it is the k...

Thursday Movie Picks / Actors or Actresses Playing Themselves

Image
 I am doing Thursday Movie Picks again.   It is hosted by Wandering through the Shelves .     The theme for Thursday this week is: Actors of Actresses Playing Themselves .   I had thought about writing about actors playing themselves in a main role, but I could only think of one movie, so I thought I would write about actors playing themselves in cameo roles. Dancing Lady (1933) ~ Fred Astaire  This movie is Fred Astaire's first film appearance, and the only time he played himself.  Angels in the Outfield (1951) ~ Bing Crosby   Bing Crosby who was a part owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, plays himself in a short cameo appearance. The Bellboy (1960) ~ Jerry Lewis Jerry Lewis plays himself in a cameo appearance... in a film were he also plays the main character.
