Yes, DR Elmore, I remembered your positive comments about the new version of P & P. Wasn't Brenda Blethyn a hoot as Mrs. Bennett. Oh, so lacking in tact and the graces!
She is!

I think the whole cast is quite wonderful, and I loved the grittiness of the locations; I just wish there had been a bit more of what makes the book one of my fave novels, and the A&E works so well.  I always want more of the Bingley sisters snobbery and they and Lady Catherine don't get enough screen time in the new film.

Mr. Elmore, darling, your Miss Karen has your New Year's surprise -- she's officially a Pansy/Gimlet now.  Happy New Year!!  
P.S. Love, and I don't mean platonically, your Xmas CD.  It's the "CD of the Week" on my car CD player.  Muchas Gracias, Senor!

Miss Karen! C'est toi? Vraiment?

Right now, der Brucer is watching some movie where Daniel Craig, Colm Meaney, Michael Gambon and a bunch of other Brits are using the "f" word a lot.  And I don't exactly mean "fabulous."  Proof that not every Brit is twee.

How do we know that Peter Pan didn't say fuck occasionally?  Even the twee ones get a bit pissed every now and then.  Just my observation.

Elmore -- I told you I'd get her on here by week's end.  

I swear, her arrival here on this board has been more heralded than Jesus coming into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday...

Well, if Jesus had come for the opening of "The Brain from Planet X," I might have urged him (Him?)(hmmmmm) to join HHW, too.  But, then he'd think it means "Him His Way."  

My friend Alice needs everyone's vibes!

I'm back from a lovely dinner with Alice and Cathie.  They gave me delightful Christmas gifts, excellent wine, and great company.  While Alice was out of sight, Cathie told me that she's had a CAT scan for severe abdominal pains lasting several days and Cathie is worried.  And I am, too.  My dear friend Alice needs your vibes, please.

Back from my lovelier than lovely luncheon with Lauren.  We both had the Combination Louie with lots o' dressing and we shared some bread pudding for dessert.  I'm quite full now.

I shall finish Cesar and Rosalie now, and then try to figure out what else to watch - so many choices, but nothing's really grabbing me right now.  I hate when nothing does that - just grabs me out of the blue, sometimes even out of the red.

Mr Alfred Drake is singing "Beyond The Sunrise". I think he is playing polo in the morning.

Yeah!!! My friend called, she invited me to stop by to see some of her friends that I don't know. Since she has plans and I'm really into staying home, we decided to have breakfast instead. YEAH!  Plus, my stomach is feeling a little queasy and I'm quite concerned that I may be getting the stomach flu. I'm going to have a bland dinner and rest. Maybe I can avoid it

Wasn't that a Rock Hudson-Doris Day movie?  Or ALL of them.

DR CILLA LIZ - it's rock and roll night on TCM....that should make you feel better!

The TCM Remembers for 2006 is very good.

Last year's was NOT...didn't like it at all....lots of non-movie-related clips to make some kind of dumb story...almost as if the people who passed away were not important enough, or were just a sidebar to the "movie."

Looking at the names and faces....June Allyson, Glenn Ford, Don Knotts, Richard Fleischer  Elizabeth Allen, Mae Marsh......

He's about to sing "The Tartar Song". I know think that he is referring to Doretta.

Doretta was an amazing soprano.  She was in the original cast of WHERE'S CHARLEY?  I haven't decided if I prefer her or the late great Lee Venora opposite Alfred in KISMET.  They both had flings with him.

LOL...I agree.

MR BK has had lunches, telephone calls, and much to think about.  Perhaps 2007 will start with some ANNOUNCEMENTS!   8)
