Resurrecting the Movies thread...

I just tonight had an idea of trying to watch old episodes of The Highlander, if that counts for researching my Scottish heritage. My then-husband and I used to watch the show every Friday night at about midnight. Just tonight the show came up in another conversation and I had the idea of trying to watch an episode or two.
It will be a tough assignment, of course. Imagine the burden of having to sit through all these visuals on my way to ferreting out genealogical data. Yeah yeah yeah, so you're shirtless and look like you're been to the gym, let's get back to your thoughts about Inverness!
Unfortunately, it appears that actor Adrian Paul is not Scottish, he's English. But The Highlander is, so that counts, right?

Enjoy your "research"! Watching Outlander was one way I got hooked on genealogy; maybe it will work for you!
I've been reading about how the name Read is a variant of Red, describing the hair color of your ancestors, maybe!

And the genes live on in my hair, my brother's hair and my son's hair!
However, I always thought my name was Read because I am a writer. Or is it the other way around? Maybe my ancestors were writers and I inherited those genes. That at least does apply to my immediate ancestors -- my grandfather was a newspaper editor and both my folks was in advertising writing.

Guess what? I saw a movie today...in a movie theater! "Blithe Spirit" starring Dan Stevens and Judy Densch. From a play by Noel Coward. My companion had seen the original version starring Rex Harrison and said it was nothing like what we saw today. Still, it was fun and felt daring to go to a movie theater. It's been nearly a year! We wore our face masks the whole time.

I didn't know they remade that. Is it recent? Did Dame Judy play Madame Arcati?
