Rope (1948)

I just finished watching "Rope" a classic by Hitchcook




Rope (1948): "Two young men strangle their 'inferior' classmate, hide his body in their apartment, and invite his friends and family to a dinner party as a means to challenge the 'perfection' of their crime."

Aidan @ the National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center

Aidan enjoing his visit to the Air & Space Museum



National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center:

"The Center was named in honor of its major donor, and features the large Boeing Aviation Hangar in which aircraft are displayed on three levels. Visitors can walk among aircraft and small artifacts in display cases located on the floor, and view aircraft hanging from the arched ceiling on elevated skywalks. Many engines, helicopters, ultra-lights, and experimental flying machines are on display in a museum setting for the first time. Among the aviation artifacts on display are the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest jet in the world; the Boeing Dash 80, the prototype of the 707; the Boeing B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay; and the deHavilland Chipmunk aerobatic airplane."

Morgan Freeman Hosts Sound Revolution


"During the six episodes, we take a close look at (and listen to) some uniquely American music - blues, soul, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll - all of it born within a couple of hundred miles of either side of the Mississippi River. The musicians from these areas, often from impoverished, downtrodden backgrounds, were central to these momentous musical developments."
