After a long stressful and exhausting week dealing with the pet food recall at work, I decided to keep this post fairly simple. I am somewhat of a classic movie buff, so I couldn't resist a dose of Hollywood. So without further delay, I present this week's installment of:

The Godfather movies were such a great series..they hold up even today. You could do a whole saturday seven Godfather movie quotes alone!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, Rick. I'm always looking for good quotes for my blog and other writing, so thanks for posting these. I recently saw Sunset Boulevard for the first time, and that is one sad ending.
ReplyDeleteFirst, cool list. You touched on some of my favorite classic movies:)
ReplyDeleteSecond, you poor thing having to deal with the food recall. I have heard that Walmart employees have been swamped as well:(
I am a dog trainer, and I sympathize completely. What a disaster, huh?
Awesome seven. Baby Jane and All About Eve, those are two of my favorite classic movies (as I go for Horror or the weird).
ReplyDeleteI feel for your pet food recall horrors. I have been hearing Wal Mart employees are suffering as well.
I am a dog trainer, and I fully sympathize with the predicament. What a distaster, huh?
I remember seeing Baby Jane when I was a kid. Creeped me out for weeks.
