WHERE'S MY TURTLE NECK?

Summer’s coming to an end. Feel it?

You can always feel it. Doesn’t matter how hot or cold it is, what the barometer says, or the fact that the kids are going out to buy new pencils. It’s intuitive. You just know…

That was your last snow cone.

And slowly, no matter where you are, fall begins to whisper. Into the trees and once crowded beaches. It’s a melancholy time. A romantic time. Hands down the most romantic time of the year. And of one’s life when you really think about it.

Spring? Spring is the time for humpin’!!

But, Fall…. oh, Fall. That’s the bitter sweet time. The ‘walk and cuddle’ time. The good bye time.

Fall has always represented great longing to me. But, I’ve never been quite sure of what. Can’t say that it’s entirely nostalgic for it’s a feeling I can remember even as a young kid. But it’s clean. Still. The parks and patios begin to hush. And people once again begin to go inside their homes. Their clothes. Their heads.

Fall is natures invitation to fall… or to re-fall in love. Good luck.

But what the hell does that have to do with movies? Not a friggin’ thing. Unless of course you’d like me to recommend a few great romantic classics.

Green Dolphin Street - 1947 (Lana Turner/Van Heflin)

Roman Holiday - 1953 (Gregory Peck/Audrey Hepburn)

Somewhere In Time - 1980 (Christopher Reeves/Jane Seymour)

When Harry Met Sally - 1989 (Meg and Billy)

Dead Alive - 1992 (Tim Balme/Diana Penalver)

Okay, maybe not When Harry Met Sally, but if you haven’t seen at least three of those, you should cancel your membership at the local Ballbuster Video and sign up at an outlet that actually carries movies. (And if you can actually find a copy of Green Dolphin Street, give me a shout. I’ll pay top dollar.)

But the number one pic for the coming season has got to be the biggest heartwarming romantic comedy of the year.

CENTIGRADE.

A man. A trailer. A match made in Canada. Forbidden love is an itch than runs deep. (You can get a powder for it, but the clinic isn’t open on Mondays.) So get your check books ready, ‘cause the ‘road to hell’ is coming to a television, movie theater or even your computer, soon!!!

We’ve had massive feedback thus far, YIPPEEEE!!!, but we’ve also just begun and don’t want to screw up any potential distribution stuff. Granted, we’re off to one hell of a start. Competition in Montreal, etc. (I still have to remind myself how incredibly hard that was to do. Especially from a rough cut.) Anyway. Just hang on for any of you that are hoping for a copy or screening in your own home town.

Therefore, enjoy your ‘fall’ everyone. Go on a long walk. Alone or with a friend. Track down your very first girfriend or boyfriend. Go through some old photos. Hold hands. Make your spouse breakfast in bed. Kick a dog in the face.

Shock somebody.
