It’s okay with me – as I said, it looks like an interesting film, and since I live in a major city, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to find a copy without too much trouble. Let’s slap an extra weekend on the usual three weeks, though, to give people a couple of extra days: Sunday, October 26th for your OP? ---

Sure. And FWIW, I’d be happy to organize a Seattle showing, if anyone’s interested. Other cities, anyone? ---

Good idea. Philly and vicinity – I’d be happy to host. ---

Rather a hijack (sorry, **twickster** ), but I thought everyone might be interested to know that TCM is showing musicals all month long every Tuesday and Wednesday during October. ---

Not a hijack – this is the place for all news of interest to members of the Society. I was planning to post this myself. (Even though I don’t have cable. ☹ ) ---

Being the fag hag I am, I jumped right over the main article and right to the What a Drag! section and now have a note to catch a couple of those movies. For the record, Some Like it Hot was one of the first VHS tapes I ever bought! ---

Not to be missed. ---

LOL. If you haven’t, you should get the dvd. There are some terrific interviews included. PS. Being gay, fag hags are some of my favorite people! ---

The main interview is with Tony Curtis. Leonard Maltin conducts it. He has some great stories about the making of the movie. Another really fun interview is with some of the ladies who played band members. One of the ladies was actually Marilyn’s body double in movie posters, and publicity stills. Great stuff! ---

Am hoping to find that movie so I can participate. I have tried the local library to no avail. ☹ . It does sound like a movie that I would really like too. ---

There’s a video-rental-by-mail outfit out of Philadelphia, IIRC. Will your library do an interlibrary loan for you? ---

Yeah, [Video Library](http://www.vlibrary.com/). That was my local store when I lived in Mt. Airy – it now requires a slight detour on the way home. ---

**Lissener** has been banned. (See the “overrated directors” thread if you want to know why – yep, Paul Verhoeven. Who’da thunk?) Should we stay with this film and wait for a volunteer ( **Ilsa** , I’m looking at you) to be the OP on it, or move on to the next chooser? That would be **koeeoaddi**. ---

I’d be happy to write up an OP on the film, but will be equally happy to concede the point and move forward (it’s a terrific film, but admittedly a bit hard to find; in short, I’ve got no dog in this hunt one way or the other).
