Tom's Thoughts

Movies are my thing. I've researched, studied and enjoyed movies for 40 years, and now I am ready to write books. My first book will be about Oklahoma movie theaters, with an emphasis on personal stories. If you have a story please email it to me.

World Peace

I read a book called the secret and it is quite a eye opener. I wish more people would read my blog because I have a plan. Everybody will need to be in the same mindset and chant, "Give Peace A Chance" and put that out in the universe and see what will happen. We need this to save mankind and this world.

Vampires Alive In Oklahoma City

I work at a machine shop and I thought that the turnover was big because the pay sucks and the insurance sucks. But when I started working days I found a wooden stake at my work station. It is about 12 inches long and carved into a point. My first thought was why would you need a stake at my job? But then my mind started churning. I never know where the past employees go. Like Calvin, who used to work nights. He was working at my work station for a week after I started days and then all of a sudden he was gone. Did he suspect something, and so prepared to protect himself by sharpening a wooden stake? If so, he obviously didn't get a chance to use it.

I have been there for 4 years and there has been a large turnover. I just thought it was the reasons I listed already. Besides, there are no annual pay raises. They just give a raise whenever they get a burr up their butts. I never seem to know what happens to these people, they're just gone.

I am worried because I splintered the end of my stake. Will I be next? Hopefully my stake will still w0rk when I need it. So if I disapear you will know what happened to me.

Movie detectives

I love movie detectives and old mystery movies. Right now I am watching Mr. Wong, Detective (1938) with Boris Karloff starring as James Lee Wong. As the movie started a businessman wanted to hire Wong as a investigator. Of course he got killed before his appointment with Wong and that is how this movie begins. I believe his secretary was a plant with the bad guys and I was right! That's amazing that I guessed that. Mr. Wong is very similar to Charley Chan who was on the screen from 1930 until 1946 I believe. Mr. Wong's series lasted from 1938 until 1941 I think. Other series such as The Thin Man went from 1934 until 1941 but there only 4 movies I think.
Mysteries are great to watch. They ultimately start out with a murder and sometimes a burglary where someone gets killed during the theft. One 0f my favorites is a silent haunted house move The Cat and the Canary (1927) released by Universal Pictures. This was the first ones using an old house as the back drop. This movie was remade in 1939 with Bob Hope and also a couple more remakes. The Universal horror entries such as Frankenstein and the Mummy are great along with the rest of the series using the same character's. If you want a fun and relaxing night you should watch some old mysteries and detective movies. They have all the cliches that you probably heard about.

Leprechaun and the pot of gold

What is the deal with leprechaun's and the pot of gold? What does a little green man need all that gold for anyway? You don't see these little green men running around at the mall buying new little green outfits and new leprechaun pointy shoes. When you go to Home Depot you won't find any little green men and women looking for material to remodel their tree or cave or underground dwelling.
And why would you hide a pot of gold in such an obvious place, at the end of the rainbow? If every leprechaun hides his gold in the same place wouldn't it be easy to steal the gold? You would know where to find it. And then there are those evil leprechauns who kill you for stealing the gold. Give me a break. There should be some kind of leprechaun court with little green judges to settle the theft. Or maybe they could have it on T.V. with Judge Judy presiding over the little green men.
