We have over 1,000 movie subjects that are just waiting for your thoughts. Our UMR alphabetical index.
Cogerson, you have gone anonymous.
Hey Bob.
1. First of all…good to hear from you.
2. Secondly….thanks for buying our second book.
3. Thirdly….thanks for the review on Amazon.
4. Fourth…..not saying I did those comments while at work….but if I did…..I think it would be wise to post as anonymous…lol.
5. We just ended the first quarter of the school year. A rough first quarter for me….as it was constantly changing….and this year I gave up my planning period to teach an extra class.
6. I am really missing that planning period….because I am now spending so much time on lesson plans after and before school. I am averaging about 50 hours a week at school this year…and about 20 hours at home getting ready for school.
7. That 70 hours a week is really cutting into UMR time. What to do what to do….lol.
Good stuff as always.
Cogerson, you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.
Big day today, my wife and myself went to the movies for the first time since covid, back in March when we were the only 2 people at Hope Gap. Today we were the only people at Let Him Go with Kevin Costner, which we saw in Malverne. Malverne is the only independent theater in Nassau County that reopened. The others didn’t with 3 permanently gone. Let Him Go was also on the screen next door where I looked in and only 1 person was at it. The staff told me only 1 or 2 people go to any show. The theater is also showing It’s A Wonderful Life which is the film the theater opened with back in 1947. Oh there was a coming attraction for a movie called Come Away , a cross between Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. It stars Angelina Jolie and MICHAEL CAINE.
Dan, sounds like a great outing. i am glad you maintained social distancing LOL. be safe
HI STEVE: Thanks for the feedback and two cracker quotes. I see Boris is reportedly about to lock you up again. My brother tested positive for the virus but after self-isolating seems ok now. However you play it safe and ignore Dominic Cummings: you do what the prime Minister tells you unless of course you need your eyes tested
Any flattering reference to Greg is always welcomed by me. He’s in my top 5 all-time fave male movie stars; but I have never been able to make up my mind whether he’s No 2 before Jimmy Stewart or No 3 after Jimmy, Laddie being No 4, Morg Freeman no 5 and Dickie Widmark unquestionably No 1. As I’ve mention before Mumbles, Charlie Bill and The Duke are all bunched together at the lower end of the Top 10.
I wonder if GREG thought he looked like Royal Dano and if so did he tell all his friends about it. For some reason the suggestion that Greg and Royal looked alike reminds me of a true story concerning a friend of mine who was a professional bouncer – big guy hard as nails; in fact almost as tough as Ladd.
My pal was on door duty at a high-class function once when this very self-important retired Army office tried to enter without a tie and when my pal denied him access the officer spluttered at him “Where is your authority – do you know who I am?” to which my friend turned round to the manager of the hotel who was standing behind him and said “Hey Billy – there’s a guy here who doesn’t know who he is!”
Please enjoy your weekend

Hey Mike…..our Rhonda Fleming page came from a request from you. Rest in Peace.
Governor Cuomo has just announced movie theaters in New York outside of New York City can reopen at 25% capacity starting October 23, 2020. The closest movie theater to me outside New York City (Great Neck) closed permanently because of Covid-19
Hey Dan…..that is good news about the theaters opening in New York. The last few months have made me think this was like buying lottery tickets. For a long time people in North Carolina had to drive to Virginia to buy a ticket. Before WoC and I moved we only lived a few miles from North Carolina. One of our favorite restaurants was near a gas station right on the stateline. On the North Carolina side of things, you could not buy a lottery ticket….but 25 feet in the other direction you could. I could imagine seeing someone doing that with a movie theater on the New Jersey/New York stateline. So the big question is…..Is Dan going to go to the theater soon? Though they have been open around here, I have not gone. Thanks for the news.
A number of the Nassau County cinemas are old ones, independently owned. The Great Neck one, The Squire, 7 screens has said it is permanently closing. The cinema in Franklin Square, 6 screens, also has bid adieu. The Great Neck one was 85 years old. The Manhasset one (3 screens), Port Washington Soundview (6 screens), Roslyn (4 screens), Herrick’s in New Hyde Park (4 screens) and Malverne (5 screens) are all pretty old. The Soundview not so much. AMC has a 6 plex in Glen Cove, and a couple of at least 10 screens or more in Westbury/Valley Stream area. The AMC’s will probably reopen but who knows about the others
The movie theaters in Nassau county were permitted to reopen today. The Squire in Great Neck and the Franklin Square theater both had already closed permanently already. While the AMC’s and Regals opened, only 1 independent cinema that we go to, the Malverne reopened. Bow Tie cinemas has removed Herrick’s in New Hyde Park off their site and it is presumed closed. A few years back Bow Tie cinemas bought 14 Clearview cinemas on Long Island and they are all now gone.
The Port Washington Soundview will not reopen now but maybe in November or December if there are good pictures out. The Manhasset and Roslyn cinemas, owned by the same management company did not reopen and their management could not be reached by Long Island newspaper. The Huntington theater also did not reopen. That’s 7 cinemas in Nassau county that may be gone forever.
