Well, dear readers, I gave some thought about not doing the notes today, but then I visited a theater board that had closed down its chat board, and suddenly it didn’t seem right not to do them. I think you all know what I’m talking about here and I hope you all agree. I suspect traffic will be light today, and that is fine, and of course everyone should reflect on the events of one year ago in their own way.
I was going to make the third of my announcements, but I do think I’ll wait until tomorrow – and, based on my lunch meeting of yesterday, there will be a fourth announcement on Friday – a small one, a light shining in the distance, but one which, I think, should it come to fruition, would please everyone here very much indeed.
Is anyone else looking at the word “fruition” and thinking, “Why does this word exist?” Someone was feeling very creative when they took the word “fruit” stuck an “ion” on the end of it and made it a whole new word and then decided it wouldn’t even be pronounced the same. Although I like the idea of pronouncing the word “fruit” as “frooit”, don’t you? What the hell am I talking about?
Last night I watched a classic motion picture comedy on DVD – Kind Hearts and Coronets. It was voted the sixth greatest British motion picture ever made. I’d seen it before, but not in years. I must say, while I find it entertaining, and Mr. Alec Guiness is wonderful in his eight count them eight roles, I don’t think it’s the sixth greatest British film ever made, and it probably wouldn’t even make my top twenty greatest British films ever made. Again, that is not to say it isn’t funny, dark, or entertaining, and I might feel differently about it had I seen it at the time of its original release. I then watched part of The Ladykillers, also with Mr. Alec Guiness, and I must say that that film had me laughing out loud almost from the get-go. I’ll report on that one and the rest of the Ealing Comedies in the Alec Guiness Box, on Friday.
What am I, Ebert and Roeper all of a sudden? Oh, let’s click on the Unseemly Button below and see what’s happening in the next section.
Well, nothing much is happening in this section, but that’s only because I haven’t written this section. How could anything be happening in this section before I write this section, that’s what I’d like to know. In other words, I haven’t brought this section to fruition yet, have I?
Today I shall lunch with Mr. Gordon Hunt, my pal and the man I hired to direct the recording of Beyond Therapy that I produced. And tomorrow night I shall be going to see that fine jazz pianist and songwriter, Mr. Dave Frishberg.
Well, dear readers, I think I shall keep these notes short today. I just felt that I had to write them and write them as I always write them, in the style I always write them. And by gum and by golly I have done so. Don’t forget, today is Ask BK Day, the day in which you get to ask me any excellent question that might be on your excellent minds. Given the announcements thus far, if you have any questions about them that you’ve wanted to ask, now is the time for all good Hainsies/Kimlets to ask. So, bring your excellent questions to fruition, won’t you, and I will answer them tomorrow. Please try to get them to me by 9:00pm Pacific Mean Time. Meantime, ask away, my pretties.
