The Apartment (1960, Billy Wilder) Trailer

Since I don't want our lovely hosts Ron & Chan to feel alone in posting to the official Lazy Eye Movie Club Blog, I am adding the original trailer for our next selection, Billy Wilder's Academy Award winning The Apartment starring Jack Lemmon, Fred MacMurray and Shirley Maclaine (who lights up the screen like a Christmas tree according to this ad) to get us in the mood.

Sadly Jack Lemmon passed away before he had the opportunity to work with Jennifer Love Hewitt, but I have it on good authority that he had at least visited Texas, her home state.

Lazy Eye Turns One!

Thanks to you all for coming out Saturday night. We had our biggest turnout yet. 2007 is off to a great start. It was the best birthday party ever!

We watched The Mayor of the Sunset Strip. I don't know about you, but I thought it was depressing. And I'm reconsidering my idea of getting bangs. For more Rodney, check his official Myspace site and the Wiki entry.

As usual, below are the movies that our members offered up for our next meeting. For those who had to leave early, the next movie will be the 1960 Billy Wilder classic, The Apartment, starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine (at her loveliest). Stay tuned for details. See you soon.
