Comment on The Accidental Masterpiece by Carrie Pomeroy

What a great, insightful commentary–thank you! Watching this movie on the big screen at the Heights, I was struck by the detail and care put into the sets, too, something I think it’s easy to miss when you’ve watched the movie on a computer screen, which is where I’ve mostly seen it (I did see one showing at the Oak Street years and years ago, a double feature with The Wizard of Oz, which was BLISS!). So fun to be able to clap at the dance numbers with other admirers, too–it drives home that these were real people working their arses off to perform us. Seeing the movie on a screen that has a stage and a curtain made it feel more like a “live” performance. So cool.

The only problem with already loving this film is that I’ll never be able to live out your fantasy of watching it for the first time.

Izzy and Autumn’s stage names that they made up at a past swap meet are Flim & Flam (izzy flim, autumn flam). They have also made appearances as Flim & Flam at The Art Shanty Project, and hopefully they will be making appearances at this year’s Mt. Holly Days along side Charlie. Stay tuned!

Great piece. I was going to see this movie, but after seeing your review I think I’ll wait to rent the DVD. I, too, have read quite a few books on Jackie and this movie sounds like a bunch of pointless drivel. Feel- good crap for the masses with a sophistication level the size of a gnat.

so now we have to wait until you’re dead before we can start saying you have a mental illness?
Really nice story, Peter, and remember to keep an eye out for Galaxy Magazines for me.

As usually very nicely done! I keep expecting that The End Of Baseball will starting flying off shelves as it deserves to. I was thinking of it today as finished Out of My League by George Plimpton, which I recommend if you haven’t read it.

Hopefully your good fortune in finding archys life of mehitabel will also be mine, since your mention of it is the first I’ve heard of either the book or the author. I’ll see if I can locate a copy. Thanks!
