JAMIE’S PLACE FOR STUFF

A Stroll Though Memory, Time and Politics With Stops Along The Way

Making A Scene

We all have movies that imprint themselves on our brains.  A simple line and all the pictures are there right in front of your eyes.   Listed below are just a few of my imprinted scenes.  What are yours?


To Kill A mockingbird

Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch has finished defending Tom Robinson and exits the courtroom.  “Miss Jean Louise, Stand Up!  Your father is passing.

Ken Burns Civil War. What do you see when you hear “Ashoken Farewell”

My Best Friend’s Wedding:

Rupert Everett as George Downes:  “Maybe there won’t be marriage… maybe there won’t be sex… but, by God, there will be dancing.”

There is a great scene in All That Jazz where a quip from his mistress gets the response, “That’s good. I can use that!”. This dance scene closes the film.

All movies and music gladly welcome below.

About Me

Retired great grandmother living in the Northwest US. Former radio Public Service Director and National Accounts Manager.

I’m a hair-dishevelled heilan’ coo,
Hamish McKay be ma name;
Welcome tae this dreichet glen
I’m cursed tae ca’ ma hame.
Depending on the mood I’m in
I’ll raise ma horns on high,
An’ if I like the look o’ ye
I’ll likely let ye by.
But should I dinnae like the look
O’ ye, then tak great care,
I’ll raise ma horns on high again,
Go on, get oot o’there!
So whether welcome yae or nae,
I’ll raise these horns sae mean,
Then ye shall ken ma meaning
By the twinkle o’ ma een.
