BLACKOUT

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, here it is, Friday, the end of another long week. Now, I have the glorious weekend all to myself. No cleaning lady (she comes every other week), hence no Evil Eye, no work, just relaxing, running errands, and writing. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too?

For you Sergio Leone fans, there is a brand spanking new region 2 DVD of A Fistful of Dynamite (aka Duck, You Sucker) that has just come out, enhanced for widescreen TVs and uncut. Then, in September the region 2 release of Once Upon a Time in the West comes out. Both will be out here in the US, towards the end of the year. But for those who cannot wait and who have multi-region players it will be a Leone-fest all too soon. My Fistful of Dynamite is on its way from the UK, and my OUATITW will be on its way in mid-September from France. I love Mr. Leone and I’ve been looking forward to these releases since the advent of DVD.

Tomorrow, I will be heading over to our very own Donald Feltham’s abode and whilst there I will be taping an upcoming Broadway Radio Show and we’ll be debuting a few of the tracks from Jeepers Creepers: Great Songs from Horror Films. Stay tuned for when you should stay tuned for. I have listened to the CD a few times, and I do think I’m happy with the order – one of the few times I’ve gotten it without having to change it endlessly.

We hope and trust that all of our East Coast Hainsies/Kimlets weathered the blackout in fine fashion (toreador pants, ruffled blouse and kick-me heels). I hate blackouts (yes, Virginia, we’ve had a few here on the West Coast) so I commiserate, oh, yes, I commiserate.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below, because I must get my butt cheeks to the Oaks of Sherman, where I shall work all the livelong day.

Have I mentioned that in a few short hours it will be the glorious weekend. Have I mentioned that one of these fine days we’re going to do an impromptu Unseemly Live Chat during the day. I was actually going to do it yesterday, but then the East Coast had their fershluganah blackout and that was the end of that. Is that always the end of that, or can this be the end of that as well? Why does that always have to be the end of that – that is just hogging things, in my opinion (IMO, in Internet lingo).

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must work all the livelong day, I must munch some lunch, I must sit in an editing bay, I must try to write and I must sup with a friend after work. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Friday – what is currently in you CD player, and your DVD/video player. I’ll start – CD, Jeeper’s Creepers: Great Songs from Horror Films. DVD, a TV movie entitled My Louisiana Sky, written by one of our very own dear readers. Also, if you have any stories about the blackout you’d like to share, please do so. Let’s have loads of lovely posts, you dear, dear people.
