Cassablanca and Midgets

First off: Happy Birthday T-bone!

On monday I went to screen on the green again and saw cassablanca for the first time!

I was a little nervous to watch it and be the only person to hate it, but lucky for me it was really good. I think i'm gonna rent it and watch it on a tv so i dont get distracted (there was a meteor shower that distracted me outside).

IMDB told me this which i think is pretty funny: Because the film was made during WWII they were not allowed to film at an airport after dark for security reasons. Instead they used a sound stage with a small cardboard cutout airplane and forced perspective. To give the illusion that the plane was full-sized, they used little people to portray the crew preparing the plane for take-off.

Also I'm now obsessed with the song "as time goes by".

Lindsay had a great suggestion to go home and act out the movie ;) she certainly is one with creative ideas...anyway I guess it would have to be a threesome b/c you'd need someone to play lazlo too. just an idea.
