I just watched the movie "Sunset Blvd" for the 1st time. Wow!
I liked this movie a lot. William Holden was so handsome, and Gloria Swanson was fantastic.

How'd I miss seeing this movie before? :shrug:

Neat trivia facts about the movie here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043014/trivia

My favorite quote in the movie:

Joe Gillis: You're Norma Desmond. You used to be in silent pictures. You used to be big.
Norma Desmond: I *am* big. It's the *pictures* that got small.
