Time to hear ABBA again, this time at home

In one of his ongoing Facebook posts, my former Spokesman-Review colleague Dan Mitchinson — who is now a morning radio-show host in Sacramento — announced how much he likes the film "Notting Hill."

 "I think Notting Hill is the perfect movie," he wrote. "I don't care if I have to turn in my man card."

I assured him that I'd lost all my man cards years ago, and good riddance. Which is why I can add here that I'm an avowed ABBA fan.

Yes, amid my totally eclectic taste in music, I reserve the right to listen to the likes of "Fernando," "Waterloo," "Dancing Queen" and, of course, "Mamma Mia."

Fathom Events, which specializes in showing special movie events, is featuring a 10th-anniversary showing of the 10th-anniversary of the 2008 film "Mamma Mia!" in theaters across the nation. BUT, unfortunately, the event will NOT play in this part of the Inland Northwest.

Don't let that stop stop you, though. Find the film on one of your streaming services (Netflix, for example, or just click on the YouTube embed below) or dust off that old DVD copy, and hold you own personal screening party.

The movie might be silly, but the music is infectious. So make sure you turn it up loud.
