The candy store in 1963

You want to see what I was talking about.

They hit the nail on the head. From the movie "Heaven Help Us" which was filmed in Carroll Gardens. If you get a chance to rent it on Netflic's you will learn all about Trooper York.

Hey Johnny Drama got old man.

That's me and friend Vito. I am the big mouth guy talking a mile a minute. He is the quiet dude who got the girl.

Of course eventually I got the girl. It just took a lot more looking. But it worked out just right.

How does anyone get through youth?

That's a rhetorical question of course.

That is a great movie. I endured 12 years of Catholic school although it wasn't quite as horrendous as the horror stories they tell about it. I had a few priests that could have given a Waffen SS commandant a run for their money though. In fact I think one of them might have been one at one time ;-)

On a different note, it's funny to see the current heartthrob Pat Dempsey as a prototypical dork.

Andrew McCarthy has definitely matured in his appearence. As an 80s kid, he was a regular in the teen angst flicks and he kinda irritated me. He always had that same kind of pained look on his face, like he shit his pants.

It's always nice to see the boys when they grow up.

Brings back the memories of when I was a yoot. Some of the guys became teefs and graduated to hooods. They ain't around no more.

Before my time, but I recognize it.

My era was in contrast pretty lost. Imagine having been that age with Carter as President.

I miss your adolescence more than mine.

Interesting place, Troop. Interesting people.
At the same time, this is the totally different but not so different world I grew up in.
Now I've spent most of my adult life in Boston.
Go figure.
And I don't miss my adolescence one little bit.

Looking for your mojo, Troop?

OK, OK, I put "Heaven Help Us" in my Netflix queue. This week's batch has already been sent so I won't get until next week.

And Bond wins! Yay! How about that Bond Girl poll?

Enjoyed this!

And where'd you go, Trooper? Get busy again?

Also...can we have a Trooper York's meetup over Labor Day weekend while I'm in NYC for tennis? Who is in your area, besides Palladian (whom I'd love to meet of course!)? ricpic?

Movie and the music sounds good. I will put at top of the Blockbuster list.

You live there most of your life Troop?

chickelit said...
