Hooray for Hollywood
Welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 where we ask just 4 questions each week to get you thinking, talking, blogging and making new friends.
According to the late Jordan Maxwell, Hollywood is named for the fact that the holly was used for magic wants by the Druids. This is where term "Hollywood Magic" comes from. People are under it's 'spell'. Another story says that H.J. Whitley the father of Hollywood saw a Chinese man hauling wood on the hills overlooking the future site and asked him what he was doing. "I holly wood" he said meaning hauling wood. It occurred to Whitley that holly wood was a great name for his new town.
1 During WW2 Marilyn Monroe was an aircraft factory inspector. She was no dumb blonde but had an above average IQ. Do you know some Hollywood or record industry trivia? Another bit of trivia on Marilyn Monroe. She was a size 14. I wish size 14 today would be as adored as it was back then.
2. Would you share with us the funniest movie you have ever seen? I think Galaxy Quest was a pretty funny movie. So was Down Periscope.
How about the most dramatic? Gone With the Wind
3. Has a movie ever really moved you or changed the way you see things? War Room made me want to be more of a prayer.
4. Do you have movie nights at your house with special snacks, treats etc.? If not movies, was there something else around which you created a special family night? From time to time we did and still do movie nights. There were always treats of some type, most often popcorn.
I've not had popcorn in ages, but now it sounds tempting! Going on my shopping list, in the event I 'cave.' Wasn't War Room wonderful? Our ladies Bible Study group recently watched it for the second time.
ReplyDeleteYes, I really loved it.
DeleteMarilyns size 14 would be more like a 4 today. Vanity sizes were not around in her day but came into use in the 80's I believe. So the 14 of then is not the 14 of today sadly!
ReplyDeleteI just loved Gone with the Wind!
I love Galaxy Quest! A great movie and about so much more than just a comedy! I agree with GWTW! xo
ReplyDeleteWe LOVED Down Periscope and wore out our copy. That was such a funny movie. War Room definitely inspired me, too. Enjoyed your answers, Kathy. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThat is true about Marilyn and her size. Yes, those are two funny movies. I don't remember seeing War Room. Popcorn is always good with a movie night.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your answers. I don't think I've seen those movies...of course I'm not a huge movie fan. Lol.
