The Last Seduction drew an unexpectedly large audience on a cold, January Thursday night! Our first guest of the evening was delighted to learn of the MovieNight custom of rewarding punctuality with a free cocktail, and requested “Something with rum, please!”. I delivered a “Treasure Trail” which must have looked quite appealing to the next people to arrive… before long the room was full of happy “Trailers”. It’s funny how that happens. The best news is that we didn’t run out of ingredients! The Treasure Trail is one of my own inventions, as you might have guessed from the innuendo in naming; others include the Hot Pretty Lady, and the venerable Pink Dick (would you like that straight up, Madame?). Had I had just a little more (too much?) time on my hands, I might have come up with a special drink to go with the movie… I imagine it would be called the Icy Bitch! How to make a Treasure Trail.

After the roller-coaster ride of The Last Seduction, we enjoyed a nice bit of hang time. I was looking for Touch Yello to put on, but I had misplaced it (don’t worry – it’s since been found), and stumbled upon a kind of “home movie” from about many years ago which featured my then five year old daughter, and a full cast of vacationing family members enacting our own version of Cinderella. It was so funny that my now almost twenty-one year old daughter didn’t even cringe at this public showing. That’s saying something!
