Day 28 - Bonnie and Clyde

I have to admit that I was stumped for a last couple and Larry came up with this one. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were iconic as the couple in the 1967 film but I also found a photo of the real couple. They were killed on May 23, 1934 at the ripe old age of 22 and 24.

Book: The Hardy Boys #1: The Tower Treasure - Franklin W Dixon

The Tower Treasure (Hardy Boys, #1)The Tower Treasure by Franklin W. Dixon

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Since I've been reading Nancy Drew, I decided to give the Hardy Boys a go too. I actually liked them quite a lot. The writing was better in the Nancy Drew books but the story was a good one. I've read several reviews that laugh about the words and terms of the time and I found those things only served to make the book more charming. Gotta love 'fellows' especially. Oh and jalopy. I haven't heard car called jalopy since surfer movies when I was kid.

I think that though the language is a little dated, the story holds up and the message is positive. Very little real violence and the good guys always win!

Day 14 - Romeo and Juliet

I remember seeing this movie in the 70s... I was maybe 13 or so and I cried until I could barely breathe. While it is more tragedy than romance, I always loved the scene in the photo.



Oh and the actors are Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting. They were only 16 and 17 when they filmed the movie and there was much ado over their nude scene, the wedding night scene.

10 - Jack and Ennis

I took my mom to see Brokeback Mountain and several days later she said, "I can't get that movie off of my mind. It's the saddest thing I've sever seen. I can't believe that it's wrong for people to love one another."




Somewhere I have a Brokeback Mountain story... it sort of ends the whole thing and it could be one of the best things I've ever written. I couldn't foind it so I posted it at Ao3:A Friend of Mine.
