After seeing Capote, I would really like to take another look at In Cold Blood, as it's been a while since I've seen it... and after peeping Paul McCartney on the Grammy's I was reminded I still have yet to see Help! and A Hard Day's Night in their entirety...

Right now, I simply don't have the time to look at *new* DVDs, much less older films... I'm mainly watching TV shows right now...

My tendencies toward pre-70s films has changed dramatically from the film school days... back when I had time to dig into movies like Vertigo, Marty, The Robe, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Apartment, The Fortune Cookie, Dr. No, Our Man Flint, Dr. Strangelove, Fail Safe, etc... the time simply isn't there now... for me, the change came about after I moved to Los Angeles in 1999... I graduated from school a year earlier... when I was in school I worked in the A-V department, and so I had access to lots of movies from our schools' film library... that changed when I left Michigan... even being out here at the AFI graduate program, with their great film library, our focus was still mostly on post-70s movies... with a Masculin-Feminin and Psycho thrown in every now and then... so if I *had* to pinpoint a particular event, it was my move to Los Angeles...
