I was not a fan of BLOOD BROTHERS, but I didn't loathe it. I didn't feel it was either special or terrible, so I guess I was mostly indifferent.

I began my afternoon by quickly scanning through Thursday's AS THE WORLD TURNS. No gay boys. They weren't in the previews for Friday's episode either. The DVR will pick it up in the wee hours of Monday morning.

I watched the second-ever episode of BONES while I cooked and ate lunch. Even though I've seen the episode several times, I still did not remember the identity of the killer. I LOVE it when my senility works in my favor!

I spent most of the afternoon with THE GOOD SHEPHERD, Robert De Niro's film about the beginnings of the CIA. It didn't feel long to me which means it held my interest throughout. I thought some of it could have been cut, however, especially things like long, lonely walks down corridors which were there to, I suppose, give it a gravitas as an "important piece of cinema."

I just found it an entertaining bit of historical fiction. I know nothing about its critical reception; I remember how disappointed Universal was that it didn't do better at the box-office and that it didn't garner the Oscar recognition they were hoping for.

The sDVD looked just fine, but I would not see any reason to upgrade to the HD-DVD version.

Just becasue she looks and acts like Ann Coulter is no reason to be hostile (...then, again...).

Wow! AMC stopped building them in 1974.

I still remember the commercial.

Hey, Javelin!

Re NYC rescue efforts:

I imagine the unintended consequences of rent-control makes getting accurate lists of actual tenants of apartment buildings difficult.

I never saw this Javelin commercial back in the 60's, but it features a very young Richard Dreyfuss.

I don't know from BLOOD BROTHERS.

Time to go back out into the glorious day, to pick up big piles of styrofoam peanuts that our new neighbors have unleashed. I wish that we had put the box of peanuts in their trash the FIRST time we picked them all up. Oh well...

Matt H. · « **Reply #133 on:** March 16, 2008, 02:19:51 PM »

Meant to mention the superb actors in THE GOOD SHEPHERD:

Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Robert De Niro, William Hurt, John Turturro, Tammy Blanchard, Michael Gambon, Lee Pace (PUSHING DAISIES; a nice surprise), Joe Pesci, Keir Dullea (first recent movie I've seen him in for a long time), Alec Baldwin, Billy Cruddup, and Timothy Hutton.

Even Tuc Watkins popped up in one sequence! Loved seeing him in this; I wish his part had been bigger.

I'm heading back down now to clean my bathroom, put away today's already washed, dried, and folder laundry, and then get back to some viewing.

OK -Now what?

He hoists his leg like good boys do (sorry, Jane), but still won't push through the doggie door himself.

He is happy to sup at the community trough and sleeps by himself on his blanket in the study.

RENT is based on Puccini's LA BOHEME, which is based on a novel - SCENES DE LA VIE BOHEME by Henri Merger. Minor quibble, but, RENT is not original.

SPRING AWAKENING is not original either, as its source is an 1891 play by Frank Wedekind.

...and as DERBRUCER pointed out, they'll be hell to pay once DR tomovoz sees the comment about BLOOD BROTHERS.

So, it's been established long ago that I am a major fan of BLOOD BROTHERS. No DR BrettySpaghetti has something positive to say about it.

What is the HHW DR tally on BLOOD BROTHERS?
Who here likes it? Who here loathes it?

But Bretty was talking about movies to stage. Not the same as stage to stage

Back from another brief but fun rehearsal. I do like rehearsals that last a little longer than three hours, though, because you're just getting into the swing of things when it's over.

I'm whipping up a batch of Wacky Noodles right this very minute. I'm starving. No traffic whatsoever at any point going out to the theater this morning. Coming back was another story.

The new Zubrick is going to be very good, I think - very different take, but he's finding fun things to do, even at this early stage. The Yoni is also very different, and I think we'll be working hard to find new and fun things for her.

This is a javelina. Nice Jaguar pic, Der Brucer. Don't know why he's looking for me, but he's a cutie

That lools like a baby javelina, actually. The one I saw was a lot bigger...I'm going to look for another photo
