First movie I've seen that starred Kate Manx: Private Property

This was Kate Manx's first movie role.
The film was directed by her husband, Leslie Stevens.
She appeared in only 2 movies (both directed by her husband).
Four years after this movie was made she committed suicide.
This movie was thought to be lost. It was restored at UCLA.
I rated it 80/100 (creepy factor is through the roof!).

First person to play an Asta Bria song that was tracked by Last.FM

bought it today from the New Releases on eMusic
her 1st recording
not really my cup-o-tea but it's Christmas Eve and I'm now a senior  

First time that I've walked the entire length of Sokolovska Street

First book read by Inger Frimansson: The Cat Did Not Die

Everybody in Sweden writes crime fiction. Here's another one.
There's some plot in the first few pages and in the last few.
The rest is "atmosphere".
Nice try but Inger is just not able to hold it together that long.

First movie that I've seen 6 times: Susan Slept Here

Almost a holiday tradition at the Dave Spencer household.
Not too sappy - just bright and breezy - perfect Christmas fare.

First time seeing "Plunder Road" on the big screen

And by "big screen" I mean my 24 inch computer monitor.
The first time I saw it was on my laptop because this movie used to be available only on Netflix USA.
Canadian Netflix did not have it.
Canadian Netflix did not have any of the great 1950 noir/JD movies that Netflix USA had.
And now these movies are no longer available on Netflix USA.
They've been removed and replaced by more family oriented trash.
Watch Plunder Road - available from Amazon

First movie watched that was directed by Akramzadeh: Jeunesse Perdue

This is the only movie directed by Akramzadeh.
This is the only movie written by Akramzadeh.
This is the only movie acted in by Akramzadeh.
In fact, for everyone in the cast, this was their first AND last movie.
This movie was thought to be lost.
Unfortunately for me, someone found a copy.

First book read by an author born in Azerbaijan: Winter Is Coming (Garry Kasparov)

Also the first book read by an author who was a world chess champion.

Kinda interesting as Garry is neither left wing nor right wing. Left wing on what he wants but right wing on how to achieve what he wants.

First time getting lost in Bergen Op Zoom

Beatrixpad did not end at the street named on the map. From then on, I was on my own.

Returned via 112 bus.

Longest walk in Bergen Op Zoom: 9.892 KM

Most counties with a Vancouver Walking Meetup Group walk in one year: 4 (in 2016)

And I was on each walk:
Canada (too numerous to mention them all)
USA (Grand Canyon with Zahida and Sunnyday)
Japan (Lake Gosho with Don)
Netherlands (Woerden to Gouda with Edith)

October 9th: a statue as a gatepost in Coquitlam, Canada

June 5th: Zahiba and Sunnyday at the Grand Canyon, USA

September 15th: an overgrown sidewalk near Lake Gosho, Japan

October 17th: curious cattle between Woerden and Gouda, Netherlands

# of Howco International Pictures watched in one day concerning mutants caused by meteorites: 2

Teenage Monster concerns a boy who changes into a werewolf when a meteorite crashes nearby. The director of this movie quit right before shooting was to start and the producer (who had no directing experience) had to take over. This movie is quite goofy as this meteorite/werewolf themed movie was set in the old west.
The Day It Came To Earth is supposed to be a tribute/spoof of 50s outer space/horror flicks. The star (and only known cast member) was George Gobel. I guess they thought his flat top hair style would fit right into the 50s theme. However, 11 years after the making of this movie, one of the "nobodys" in the cast (Rita Wilson) married Tom Hanks and she lived happily ever after.
