Oh my gosh, I just found out that tonight Ray Bradbury will be the guest programmer on Turner Classic Movies!! The movies he's presenting are The Phantom of the Opera, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Rebecca, and Citizen Kane. Hmm, I think I am going to need to brew big pots of both coffee *and* yerba mate to try and get through this

I completely missed this ... bummer. Should have checked LJ sooner.

It was very nice to see Bradbury again. For a long time he was my absolute favourite writer. I was having a bit of a bad evening but that totally went away when he came on screen - though it's impossible not to admit that he is looking quite old and frail and that at some point in the not too distant future he won't be with us anymore.

I was thinking I was just going to maybe watch the introductions, but I got so wrapped up that I watched the first two movies. Hopefully TCM posts the intros & outros on their website sometime soon.

That'd be great, so maybe I'll get to see them.

I still fondly remember the "Ray Bradbury Theater" television show with his introductions. And "Something Wicked This Way Comes" is one of my favorite novels, alongside "The Martian Chronicles."

Yeah, I also watched Ray Bradbury Theater. Probably long before reading most of his material. Loved the way his writing office looked, so full of various knick-knacks.
