DR RLP - I was looking around on the internet and found a place to download RCOM.....it will hold me until Criterion comes around. I think it is the Laserdisc edition, but it is not identified.

And just in case any DR is interested in the conference I'm playing this weekend:

www.setc.org

It's like the Spring conference, just much, much, much smaller.

Have fun DR JoseP!

I am uncertain about the street fair on Sunday. With my church obligations, the earliest train I could get into the city wouldn't get me to Grand Central until 2:09 PM. Not certain if I could get up to the stage in time, and certainly wouldn't be able to get close enough to the stage to see and/or greet the performers afterwards, even if I could get there in time!

I see there's been no progress in locating the "lost" cookies from yesterday.

If everyone got Levain's cookies, but I missed out, I consider them LOST.

Perhaps someone tossed my cookies?

Just so long as they don't toss your salad.

I am listening to Anup Jalota sing about Lords Ram, Sita, Krishna and Hanuman. Or at least I think that is what he is singing about.

DR Edi, those Japanese cat costume ads remind me of the big signs in Japan that said "Be Suprise" and "What Hell is Pachinko"

. And I also agree that Bryan Batt was very good in his scene....which didn't go the way I thought it would.

Well, I hope this means it will continue to get developed for this character Sal.

After the last few weeks with multiple TV box sets, it was kind of a relief to watch just a regular movie today. As I noted earlier, it was DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, the new Ultimate Edition remastering which has removed every spek of dust, dirt, scratch and increased sharpness without making the image appear overly digitized. It was beautiful looking with only an occasional moment where it seemed flesh tones were too pale.

The sound, of course, was repurposed into a BOOMING DTS 5.1 track that was superb. In a couple of places, it was obvious that the sound was derived from a mono source, places where explosions didn't rock the house the way others did. Overall, however, it was a well done new version of the soundtrack (and the mono is still there if one desires to hear it.)

You must not have seen the film, because Kelly is the clown. The man in the stretch pants is Igor Youskevitch.

Next, I got a hankering to see GONE WITH THE WIND. I haven't watched it in a long time, so I put on the first disc (I much prefer the first half to the second). The Ultra-Resolution version is certainly beautiful and clean, again not a mark or speck to be seen.

I only got up to the birth of Melanie's baby. Not sure if I'll finish it today/tonight or wait and watch more tomorrow afternoon. Probably the latter since I want to see a Blu-ray disc tonight before MONK coems on.

Something is definitely going on with the telephone line that I reported on Tuesday. No, my phone service has been fine sicne I reported the downed line Tuesday morning, but I saw an AT&T truck on my side street when I went out to do my errands at 11:30, and then it's been parked in my neighbor's driveway all afternoon. He left a little bit ago, but the problem must have been a lot more complex than just the service to my house.

Lawz, Mister Matt, I don't know nothin' 'bout the birth of Miss Melanie's baby.

Do I really have to wait?

Not here on the west coast. It will surely arrive very quickly on the east coast, though.

Can you stand the pressure?

That....or he just robbed that house under the pretense of repairing telephone lines.

May I recommend a New York musical show about which I've just learnt through the post printed below and the nice musical clips on the site of the singer! It only plays on Sept. 9 and, if I could, I would attend!

"Greetings from NYC! I'm a fellow Disney music lover, and have been lurking around the online Disney sites for far too long. I finally decided to take the plunge and join in 'cause of a wonderful new show of Disney music I just saw here, and have officially taken under my "I-Love-Disney" wing Smiley I'm so glad another friend of mine who works at the World of Disney store here told me about the show...I would have been so sad to have missed it.

The show is called "Don't Tell Walt," and it is one of the most funny, moving, loving evenings of music I've ever heard. It features Bill McKinley, an amazing singer who sang in both Pocahontas and Mulan (how cool is THAT?!--I've actually met a Disney Singer!), and who has been a Disney fan all his life. He tells such beautiful stories and self-deprecatingly talks of being a "Disney Nerd"--just wonderful. And he sings all these great Disney songs you know and love, in ways that make you hear them like your hearing them for the very first time. There's even a song from an unproduced Disney stage musical of "Winnie The Pooh." Such fun!

Anyway, the show has gotten fabulous reviews, and he's only doing one more show, this Sunday, here in NYC. I know he's planning on performing it elsewhere across the country as opportunity permits, but if you can get to the show on Sunday, don't miss it.

I've told Bill that I've adopted him and his show, so he knows I'm not a stalker <g>. If you'd like more information about his show, you can go to this link on his website:

http://www.billmckinley.com/dish%3A.html

There's a really cool flyer there about the show. And if you can't access the website, here's the show info:

Bill McKinley in Don't Tell Walt
Sunday, September 9th at 4:00 p.m.
The Metropolitan Room
34 W 22nd St (between 5th and 6th Avenues)
Reservations advised-212-206-0441
$20 cover charge/2-drink minimum

I hope to see you there!
