Don't like to watch a movie many times, get bored.
Don't often watch movies, something about committing to sit and
watch for hours. The ones I've seen a bunch are never watched from beginning to end, it's on tv and I watch.
Christmas story is probably #1. Just because it'll be on all day.
Joe Dirt is likely #2.
Never saw Slap Shot, didn't even look at the clip until someone mentioned
Johnstown. Went back and watched just to see the local footage.
They filming date stood out, a year later and they could have witnessed
history. A foot of rain came down in 24 hours.
Dams failed(again). Johnstown flooded badly, and fatally, again.
We lived 30 miles away, overnight the crick got to our house and gave us
4 feet of water and mud in the basement. Mom was overwhelmed, I was an
8 year old sent to Pap's to get rid of me for the cleanup.
Guess Mom was so upset, Dad decided she needed a wakeup call.
Once the basement was cleaned, (several days work) Mom got loaded
into the car and taken to tour Johnstown. I'll never forget their description
of the carnage when they stopped at Pap's to pick me up.
