  1. Has everyone forgotten Alan Splet?

     

    Who????

     

    He won a Special Academy Award in 1979 for sound effects on THE BLACK STALLION, but never showed to pick up the award.

     

    "It always happens," said host Johnny Carson. "First George C. Scott doesn't show, then Marlon Brando, and now Alan Splet."

     

    Carson spent the rest of the night making jokes about Splet.

  2. and I do remembering getting a "B" in speed reading, there was a test done on a slide projector...is that the one?

     

    That sounds like it. I remember our teaching running it at 4th grade speed, or whatever grade we were in, then seeing if we wanted to try 5th, 6th grade speeds, etc. ... and it seemed like the lines were really zipping along.

  3. Now here is a pet peeve of mine, which explains why I never watch movies on "regular" channels anymore. I hate when they speed up the credits at the end of the movie just so they can get right to the next program. In fact, sometimes they BEGIN the next show on a split screen, while the credits from the last movie are still running on the other side. I'm sure the people who put time and effort into these movies are thrilled about this.

     

    When I watch these credits roll at break-neck speed, it reminds me of being back in elementary school, when we used to get tested on how fast we could read ... a filmstrip projector would flash lines on the screen and advance to the next line in a matter of seconds. Anyone remember that?
