life aspirations

Every summer in Memphis The Orpheum does the most fabulous thing - they show old movies on the big screen. Other than the fact that the theater is stunning and it makes movie-going feel like more of an experience than getting popcorn kernels stuck to the bottom of your shoes (or in your teeth, as the case may be) and getting the back of your stadium-seat kicked for an hour and a half, I think my favorite thing about the annual tradition is that it allows people to see films on the big screen that left theaters some 50 years ago.

Last night I saw my first Orpheum movie of the summer - 'The Philadelphia Story.' When I left the theater, I knew one thing for certain. If I had to choose a Hepburn to aspire to be, I'd pick Katherine any day of the week.
