Movie Time Goes Bananas

 Instead of a Movie Time post, we've got....


...we've got Banana Time.

So what happened? 

Hell if I know.

I had my laptop perched on my lap while watching the Duke/St. John's basketball game and I was heading down the homestretch on a Movie Time blog post about a movie that was released March 27, 1937 called The King and the Chorus Girl.


To be honest with you, I saw this movie about a year ago on TCM and I was struggling to remember exactly what the hell went down.

There was a king.

And a chorus girl.

That much I knew.

Oh, and the screenplay was by Groucho Marx.

Yeah, that Groucho Marx.

Despite writing from one of the Marx Brothers, I recalled the movie wasn't really that funny or good.

But damn it, I was getting a blog post out of it.

But while typing, I notice my screen was blank. 

All the text I was writing as well as pictures and graphics were gone. 

I have no idea what key stroke I made to cause that to happen and no efforts on my part were successful in retrieving anything I had created.

Apparently typing on my laptop on top of my lap was a bad idea.

Hey, what happened with the Duke/St. John's game?

<INSERT SCORE HERE>.

...

Psst!  Hey....  

It still says....

<INSERT SCORE HERE>

....

Whoops! Sorry.

After putting me through 2+ hours of this is too damn close, Duke pulled out the win over St. John's, 80-75.

So Duke gets to play another day.

And I have to continue "caring" about sports.
