Friday continued. The children all left, and entertainment left with them. Arthur, Sandy's son, showed the French 'film' Devil Story. It's about 20 minutes of movie stretched out to an hour and a half. There's a mutant guy in an SS uniform who slasher kills some folks, and then the real slow down begins.…

The reason we held this year's edition of T(ween) Fest in the summer, instead of the spring, was that Arthur Petersen and his wife and daughters--who used to live in Dallas but years ago relocated to Utah--were able to visit at the same time. So there were hordes of grandkids around. To entertain them,…

Sorry for the absence; I got a bronchial bug (not Covid) and it's been super hot here--my A/C is set for 78 degrees, and it's running now at 4:00 AM in the pitch dark--and just generally blech. So the next movie on the Friday before the official T(ween)-Fest was Child of Peach (1987), a…

  Another great Watch Party on Friday, we watched the still not really finished Grizzly II: The Revenge. I leave on Thursday for Dallas, so we'll be radio silent for a week. I'll be back by Wednesday or Thursday next week. If I can rouse the energy upon my return we'll do another Watch…
