Rest in peace or We have… GOT… to get organized!*

It is that time of year again when TCM puts together its TCM Remembers video, honoring all the movie people who have died during the year. Here is the 2013 version, and I am happy to say they did not forget old Harry Carey, Jr. who died last December.

Good job, TCM! It would be an appropriate time to watch 3 Godfathers (1948) in memory of all three godfathers, but I will probably wait and watch it on (or around) January 6 for Epiphany which commemorates the visit of the original 3 Godfathers, the magi who visited the baby Jesus.

I would like to watch The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming! (1966) in honor of the late, great Jonathan Winters, but I don’t think we have it.

Two bad-asses: Jonathan Winters and Brian Keith

As is frequently the case, we have a VHS tape, but not a DVD. Curses.

Anyway, I am way behind in my Christmas movie viewing. Apparently we are in for some bad weather this weekend, starting today, so I think it will be a good weekend for hunkering down and watching movies, wrapping presents and toasting absent friends. Here’s to you, Ray Harryhausen!
