Drunk on Foolish Pleasures: Beatlemania!

Recently, I designed a display case at school to force my students to think about the Beatles during February. Then, to prove I was serious about the whole Beatles thing, I flew to New York City for the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles landing in America and performing on the Ed Sullivan Show. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

I don't fuck around.

Drunk on Foolish Pleasures: Good Ol' Freda

Welcome to my new column. Although I happen to be drunk right now, I will not be talking about liquor or drinking here. Rather, I will be talking about movies (and aspects of movies) that make me indescribably happy, perhaps unreasonably so. The “foolish pleasures” I describe over the next 52 weeks are intensely personal, and often indefensible, but I hope they spark in you, Gentle Reader, similar feelings about what you love, what makes you happy, and what you hold dear. I promise you an interesting year.
