Specific Movie Talk: "Whoopi Goldberg Month concludes here with one of her earlist movie roles, and arguably her best. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress, this 1985 film won none of them. Co-starring Danny Glover and fellow nominees Margaret Avery and Oprah WInfrey, this movie follows the life of Celie Johnson and her quest for happiness in an unhappy world. Terri suggested it in the Specific Movie Contest earlier this year, and now we get to discuss it. The movie is... The Color Purple."
Personal Preamble:
It was my niece's second birthday. Happy Birthday to Sprocket!

This week's non-movie topic: "Episode 59 saw a two-part discussion on an annual November festival of words called National Novel Writing Month. And even though there are still 8 whole days in which to finish your 50,000 word novel, this week will find another annual event: Wrapping up the Wrimo. Newbies: How well has NaNoWriMo met your expectations? Vets: How has this year been different from years past? Plus, we'll hopefully hear some excerpts from this year's word flurries, and a few other questions thrown in just for giggles."

Celebrity of the Month Discussion: "She's been a little black woman in a big silver box! She won a statue for being able to hear dead people. She shuddered at the name Mufasa! (Ooooo... do it again!) She is one of my favorite actresses of all time, and the focus of November's Celebrity of the Month topic: She is the magnificent Whoopi Goldberg."

The Movie Topic: "Right now, as we speak, some evil genius is plotting the downfall of civilization. I mean *besides* the SquidLord. Who, oh who will save us? Well, if we're lucky, it'll be those great super heroes who aren't really super heroes. Those wonderful wizards with no magic. They with the gadgets, the training, and the smarts to defeat evil in all of its uber evil moo ha ha etc forms... the subject of tonight's main discussion... Secret Agents."

Specific Movie Talk: "In 1994, the Walt Disney Company released what became my all-time favorite Disney animated movie: A little story about a lion who just couldn't wait to be king... and then ran away from his duties. Boasting a cast with the likes of Jeremy Irons, James Earl Jones, Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Moira Kelly, Whoopi Goldberg, and Cheech Marin, The Lion King thrills, chills, entertains... and still somehow manages a G rating. What is up with that? Tonight, our Specific Movie Talk is The Lion King."
Personal Preamble:
Change in scheduled date of next SMT (reflected below). The reason is that December 6 is Austin's Thank Goodness It's Over party for NaNoWriMo.
Speaking of which... National Novel Writing Month has officially begun! As of November 1, participants should have reached 1,667 words.
