The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 5, 2011
Instigating a new feature here at the blog: the Quote of the Week.

Boulevard of Dreams
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 5, 2011
Well, whattaya know – look what’s been only a block or so away from my house all this time!
The funny part is that “N. Carey Blvd.” doesn’t really exist. What was supposed to be a regular paved street ended up as a hiking/bike trail. The sign, however, remains. I’ read more

Pic of the Day: “East of Eden” (1955)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 31, 2011
Since yesterday’s pic was from the 1981 miniseries, today’s pic needed to be from the 1955 film. In fact, this is a candid behind-the-scenes shot of Tim and James Dean on the set, discussing something obviously very important.
I found this image on a nifty Tumblr blog dedicated to James read more
