As many of you know, I lost my Dad last year in May but he was, along with my Mom, the person who introduced me to film when I was seven. They had to drag me kicking and screaming (because I didn't want to go in) into a place they called The Cinema ~ which made me go :buggedout: and then they had to drag me kicking and screaming out when the film was over because I didn't want to leave. :teddyr:
Herewith some of my Dad's thoughts on certain films:
High Noon: "This isn't a western, son: it's a political thriller."
Death Wish: "There's more bangs in this film that go on in a whorehouse." :teddyr:
Unforgiven: [Reading the credits] "Who the hell are Sergio and Don, son?" :teddyr:
Jaws: [when the shark pops out to say hello] "WTF was that?" :teddyr:
'...more bangs than a whorehouse." :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:
He sounds like a cool guy.

He was and still is ~ he wasn't computer literate but he would have loved this site and all of you on it. :smile:
When I went to the premiere of the SA film
White Wedding in Cape Town in March, he would have been one of the audience members standing up and applauding that film: a new dawn for the SA film industry. :smile:
