Wichita (1955)

wichita movie

Wyatt Earp stands tall amongst figures of the Old West. He’s one of America’s great old legends. There have been a lot of movies made about his life. Wichita is kind of an origin story for the legend as it begins before he became a lawman and tells the story of how he wound up being a Marshall.

It isn’t particularly good, but if you like westerns I’d recommend it. You can read my full review here.

They Live (1988)

There is a company called Fathom Events that bring classic (and not so classic) films as well as live theater and other special events to movie theaters across the country.

I used to go to their events fairly often, but then COVID hit and other things happened and I stopped going to the theater all together. I’m hoping to get back to it a little more often and was thrilled when I saw Fathom was doing some John Carpenter movies.

I got to saw They Live and wrote a little thing about it for Cinema Sentries.

Little Women (1933)

I’ve had several movies to watch and review for Cinema Sentries which explains why I haven’t been writing much for my Great British Cinema Series. I have watched several British films in the interim and will write about them soon. But for now I’ll catch you up on my Cinema Sentries writing.

For large swaths of my life I tended to stay away from what is sometimes derogatorily called Women’s Pictures or Chick Flicks. I wasn’t necesarilly a man’s man either, I grew out of action movies early in college. But emotionally charged films about women in need of romance and other such things held very little interest for me.

I can’t say that I am mainlining romantic comedies these days, but I’ve soften somewhat in this regard. As you’ll read in my review, I first saw a version of Little Women in college and didn’t much care for it, but I’ve come to rather love it. This version starring Katharine Hepburn is one of my favorites.

Rest In Peace Olof Bjorner

Olaf Bjorner, the Swedish researcher who tirelessly documented Bob Dylan’s performances has died. I didn’t know him personally, but everything I’ve read about him was that he was a kind, generous man. Certainly, his website is indispensable for Dylan fans.

You can read a little more about him in the Peter Stone Brown archives.

Rest now, good sir, the world is a better place because of your life.

Ticket Stubs

I was cleaning up my office and found a bunch of old ticket stubs (both concert and theater productions). This isn’t everything I’ve seen, of course, just a really random selection. I don’t know if anybody is interested in this, but I wanted to scan them and decided to share them anyway.

Click here if you want to see them. Man, they do bring back memories for me. Kind of makes me sad that so many concerts don’t really give you physical tickets anymore.

Notes : Can’t remember where&when I downloaded it, thanks to the forgotten previous sharer !
Reseed from DVDR archive, checksum files was ok, but one track, wrongly named, needed correction and then I recreated a new checksum. No other change.

Audience recording, hissy but pretty good though, for the age.
Relax is the same as the famous SBD version (but complete here), while some others tracks are different (as the latter half of the bootleg SBD is the 5th).
