Getting a chance to catch on these old movies is proving to be a lot of fun. A few of them I wish I had seen sooner, a couple of them I won't bother ever watching again, but so far none of them I regret viewing.
I'm nearly to the point where I'm sick of watching old films, so in the next few weeks I'll probably start filtering in some of the recent Oscar winners for good measure. In the meantime, I'll be signing off for awhile (at least from movie reviews). Celebrating the Luck o' the Irish and St. Patrick himself, I will be in Boston for the upcoming weekend enjoying a few pints of Guinness, a tour of Fenway Park and all the excitement that Porty, PomPoms and I can muster up, with guest appearances by a few other Fredonia friends.
Have a good weekend, my faithful readers! Return next week when we explore the wonders of Raging Bull, Schindler's List and a few other of AFI's top films.

I don't think I've ever heard Aimee use the word "Procure." But I'll have to dial her extension after I'm done typing this, to let her know she's in the right... And yr somewhat off base. Sucka!
Sure, procure has that connotation... Though it's not limited to it and in fact is one of the last definitions to come up when researching the word.
Defense attorneys procure evidence. They obtain or get by care and effort.
More generally, the word means "To bring about, especially by unscrupulous and indirect means."
And then there is the prostitution.
I'm Nick Dean, blah blah blah.

Read it and weep, bitch.
I'm Nick Dean, people love it when I say their name..
Yeah, thanks for proving my point.
The primary definition is: "To get possession of -- obtain by particular care and effort."
It also has the meaning you keep hammering on, but it's not the word's sole use, sucka.
