I do not approve.

I'm with you on this... but it is too late!

The wrong has been done!
Shame!

Finished Cesar and Rosalie, and want more Claude Sautet. As far as I can tell, the only other film available with English subs is Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud, which I'll try to pick up.

Very good choice!
And nobody is executed in this film, except the story, and properly!

They certainly bulldozed that one through! I believe one of the purposes of this immoral Iraq invasion was to accomplish what was just performed. Saddam was not my dictator - I dislike the one we have - and I believe this execution should never have happened.

I agree with you.

I have this weird region 2 DVD called Death Of A President - I may try that next - it's a what if sort of a "docu-drama" - what if President George W. Bush had been assassinated, told in the style of a retrospective documentary looking back at the event. Sounds interesting. If not, I shall shut it off.

The Geneva Convention was well and truly torn up and the invader (and allies) has so much blood on its hands.

Free David Hicks! Not even a trial for him yet and no presumption of innocence.

I"ll be curious to see what you think of this one

One of his lawyers is a friend of mine. I'm also part of a committee that has assisted with finances for experts and to provide transportation for his Austrailan lawyers. It is a travesty

"The March of the toys" from the 1929 Milton Aborn revival of BABES IN TOYLAND, conducted by Max Hirschfeld who conducted the show in 1903.

Victor Herbert can affect some listeners that way.

Before I go, DR Elmore, did I ever tell you that I listened to this album over and over and over when I was a kid? I found the cover when I was home, but not the album....I'm sure it's there somewhere, not sure it's in very good shape

And not a single acknowledgement of Victor Herbert anywhere on the cover! It's great to see it! Thanks.

I would like - and I think DR JRand56 would too - the soundtrack with Ms Annette on CD.

I am not fond of the Disney film since I think it dilutes the piece badly, but I am all for anyone listening to Victor Herbert.

on behalf of Australians who care about that old concept of "Justice" - thank you.

Well I haven't listened to it since I was a kid. I can't say I remember the tunes, but I'm sure I would if I heard them again. I wouldn't mind getting a good recording of it, any recommendations?

I didn't order YOUR HOST WALT DISNEY but I did get THE HARDY BOYS. It's next on my list to watch after I finish the CSI box set I'm watching now. May take awhile since I've also been so enamored of the Blu-ray discs for the last few days.

You are most welcome, but I'm not doing as much as the lawyers in the trenches. The money comes from a foundation associated with The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. I have heard many many stories about what is happening and has happened at Guantanamo. It isn't pretty.

Now there's a recommendation we're all waiting for.

I had a nice evening of video delights.

I began with another CSI episode, this one dealing with the murder of a mother with her baby in the room. But, the woman was a virgin and not the baby's biological mother, so what to think? When the murderer was finally revealed, the ice coldness of the person gave me the shivers.

The episode also featured a rival forensic specialist presenting evidence in court that Dr. Grissom was asked to refute. Great duel of smarts that I enjoyed.

Good Evening!

Back from the show... I was a bit hungry since I did not have a proper dinner earlier, so I just had some cereal...

And now I'm looking at the menu for the pizza delivery place...

Decisions, decisions...

I bought the DVD of the Annette BABES IN TOYLAND. I saw it at the movies when I was younger and thought it was OK.

The DVD is full screen (boo!) but it was pretty much as I remembered it.

For the main feature tonight, I put in FANTASTIC 4 on Blu-ray, another stunning high definition transfer. There was also a terrific DTS soundtrack that just about blew up my speakers.

FANTASTIC 4 is pure escapist comic book stuff, but I have to say that the guys are very easy on the eyes, made even more so by the high definition image.

As for the execution of Saddam Hussein and his half-brother... I believe one of my neighbors down the hall is having a party in "honor" of the executions right now.

*And when I came in, I noticed some pizzas being delivered to his place, so... $:-\$
