Before I get into today's business, a bit of old business that I didn't get to yesterday:
I love the eye roll, the exasperated sigh, and the expression on Carolyn's face after Barnabas has his reaction to seeing The Carpenters performing on the TV:
And honestly, of all the humorous bits in the film, that one with Barn comes across as possibly the most realistic because how else would someone from the 18th century react upon not only seeing TV, but seeing someone who really does appear as if they're inside the TV performing?
And while we're on the subject of The Carpenters, today's quote from the Top of the World montage doesn't display in quite the way I would have liked it to because for some odd reason special characters will not display with the routine that displays the quotes, so I wasn't able to include a music note. The way I really wanted the quote to look was like this:
1972 - Carpenters: ♫ 'I'm on the top of the world lookin'
down on creation and the only explanation I can find is the
love that I've found ever since you've been around, your
love's put me at the top of the world.' ♫ But alas...
And while we're on the subject of today's capture/quote, I have to say I just love the contented little smile that suddenly crosses Vicki's face as Barnabas is reading from Love Story. Quite possibly it's our first indication that she really does enjoy spending time with Barnabas. It's a cute moment - and one that I was very happy that Midnite chose for the slideshow.
Also from the montage, I just love Mrs. Johnson suddenly zooming by on a riding lawn mower:
Not to mention Mrs. Johnson and Willie unloading a coffin for Barnabas:
But then, I love everything Mrs. Johnson in the film. She's an absolute hoot and a half!
