Similarly I've always felt more comfortable talking on the phone than in person.<br />Daft, I suppose.

Most of the time my Virgo ascendant kind of puts a damper on my Leo. <br /><br />For instance, I can't imagine singing in public (now,as an adult) or having my own blog, which seems to be something you're comfortable with.

I have no Leo inclinations regarding show biz, or even public speaking, in real life, even though Leo is in first house (with Pluto). Cancer rising smothers any possibility. I suspect my irritating taste for high quality stuff I cannot sensibly afford might be a Leo offshoot though. ;-/Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-41908944995192509442014-09-23T15:47:12.439-05:002014-09-23T15:47:12.439-05:00Twilight ~ Some movies (games, shows) definitely a...Twilight ~ Some movies (games, shows) definitely aren't for children.:(<br /><br />Normally my Leo inclinations aren't as obvious, but they're still there - natal 12H Uranus (ruler of my 5th house Aquarius Moon) in Leo.LBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-1639687297647520432014-09-23T13:54:11.693-05:002014-09-23T13:54:11.693-05:00LB ~ I'm tempted to say "You should'a...LB ~ I'm tempted to say "You should'a been a Leo!" But that would contradict my "there's no such thing as a Leo" edict. Must be Moon in 5th, as you say. :-)<br /><br />I remember being scared during a movie. I was taken to see "The Beast with five Fingers" once upon a time - that film stuck in my memory for many, many years. And another movie title now forgotten, with William Bendix in it, put him on my no-go list for the rest of my life after scaring me silly. <br /><br />Delicate little flowers weren't we!?<br />;-)<br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-38976860503201249042014-09-23T11:04:18.242-05:002014-09-23T11:04:18.242-05:00mike ~ Ah yes!

I remember the Saturday morning picture shows at our local cinemas (we had two) at one the entry cost was 3 pence, at the other, newer, cinema it was 6 pence. for that princely sum we saw a cartoon, sometimes two, and a western cowboy adventure, often involving Roy Rogers, Gabby Hayes and Trigger. Occasionally Tarzan and Jane would show up, just for a change.<br /><br />When my parents first bought a TV (which broke down regularly) I think programmes were shown only in the evenings...memory hazy here. Later there were children's programmes in the afternoons, but I don't recall seeing any films on TV in England until much later on. I think TV took off much more slowly in the UK than in the USA.<br /><br />The Harry Potter series, yes that emerged on screen even before the "Twilight" series, and probably is most responsible for today's glut of YA films. Wherever there's money to be made - expect a glut of whatever (war included!)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-21315341611021235832014-09-23T08:52:48.352-05:002014-09-23T08:52:48.352-05:00I can only remember a couple of times going to the...I can only remember a couple of times going to the $0.25 Saturday early matinees to see a new animated Disney release. Television was new at the time and visual entertainment in your very own living room was a novel concept. We watched many, many movies on TV. Disney movies on TV were shown every Sunday in the late afternoon before the Ed Sullivan Show. There were many dystopic sci fi movies, usually shown late Friday and Saturday evenings amongst the other genres, but typically horror-monster movies to provide fodder for nightmares. Comedies were my favorite late night viewing.<br /><br />As more often than not, the book may be better than the easily digested movie version. The tremendous success of the "Harry Potter" series (book 1 released 1997) spawned a trove of young adult books as competitive hopefuls that have made their way to the more palatable cinema.mikenoreply@blogger.com
