I rented both of these from Netflix. I got them because a woman that I work with is in a couple of Michael Haboush's movies.
I've rented several of his other movies, but really only because some were filmed in Olympia. Okay, there is some (young...but legal) eye candy, but the movies are NOT worth watching all the way through just for that.

I concur.
Still it is nice to see some POSITIVE, if only independent, film portrayals. . . .

Where do I get garlic stuffed olives? I've never heard of these, and I love olives! (are they green or black?).

Let the harpist mark the changes; I always end up giving them too much info and they liquid paper it out as they work on the part.

Thanks DR Elmore (and DR Jose!) for the advice.

re: costumes, I'm sure there must be many that can be made at home. Do you need easy or just cheap?

Re: SMALLVILLE.

I sort of watch it. But I must say it's my least favorite show that I watch on the WB (Gilmore Girls, Charmed, 7th Heaven, Everwood). I guess they are more girly shows!

I just find that there are certain episodes of SMALLVILLE that really do not interest me. Although I always enjoy the scenes with Chloe/Clark. And I'm happy that he knows she knows about his powers.

Well, we went to a local costume show. I decided to be Alice in Wonderland and got the costume there. Paul is going to create a costume from one of the other characters. He won't tell me which one until tomorrow night but he thinks it will be fun and easy for him to do.

The party we're going to is at the Orpheum. The first couple hours are silent auction, then music until 11:00 then Night of the Living Dead on the big screen. It should be fun

MBarnum · « **Reply #221 on:** October 28, 2005, 04:48:42 PM »

Sounds like fun Cillaliz! Don't forget to take photos! We must see you as Alice!! And oh, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD....such a scary movie!!

Well, then, exactly what word would you use to describe someone who had a nice set of boobs and was sexy and made your eyes bug out?

Stacked??

My Bollywood movie for the weekend is:

BHAKTHA PRAHALDA (1967).

My favorite genre of Bollywood films are the mythological stories and this is a fine example. In fact I counted no less then 18 film versions of this movie having been made in India since 1926! So it must be a popular story! LOL!

Lord Vishnu punishes two of his devotees by causing them to be reborn into vile lives 3 times, afterwards they will be forgiven for insulting the 3 sages who had visited heaven...or something like that! LOL!

Lots of color...lots of cheesy special effects...some fun song and dance numbers...lots of fun!!

MBarnum · « **Reply #224 on:** October 28, 2005, 04:59:51 PM »

JRand55, I believe I sent you the Hindi version (my version is in Telugu) of this film...have you watched it yet? If so I would enjoy hearing your review.

You obviously haven't seen "A Slice of Terror." That movie doesn't show a positive portrayal of anyone. The lead (played by Michael) is a "developmentally delayed/disabled/whatever" person who is taunted by some boys. He brainwashes his counselor to hypnotize the boys to do what he wants. He makes them have sex with each other as a punishment (punishment??

) and then kill each other...all while they're still hypnotized! He keeps saying in the voiceover they they'll be "humiliated," but they never are! They do what he makes them do without question (in the privacy of a house) and they die without anyone else ever knowing or seeing what happened and embarrassing them. They're never humiliated at all. It's just plain dumb. I will admit that it's very nice to watch with the sound off

, but it's not a well thought-out plot device.

Apologies to everyone who took me "literally" yesterday about having sighted my twin.

I was actually parodying JRand55's comments to JoseSPiano about his having seen Jose's twin...younger, of course; slighter in build, and one other difference...but insisting, of course, that he saw Jose.

I attempted to paint a picture of "my twin" who looked nothing like me physically, but in whom I saw myself.

Another lost opportunity at humor....

I laughed!

Agree with Detective Story (basically what I wrote about the film several weeks ago), but not about Darling Lili, either transfer or content (as I also wrote several weeks ago) - I find Lili a complete mess at any length because it simply doesn't know what kind of film it wants to be, and therefore it ends up being five films. It has its moments, but you don't care one whit about one of these characters (I mean, the leading lady is a German SPY) . What it has going for it is Julie singing, and its production design, photography, and Blake's wonderful direction. The transfer is very sharp, but the color, while vibrant for some colors, is completely off for the flesh tones, which look anemic and brown and don't resemble at all what flesh tones look like on film. Any perusal of a properly-timed transfer will tell you the story.

Fortunately, no.

I am now off to usher (concessions, actually) for a performance by Kate Clinton, here in Olympia! She performed here last year (I think) and was fabulous. It shouldn't be a long evening. Her show starts at 7:30 and will probably be done by 9:00 and most likely won't have an intermission. What comic does?

When I see someone walking down the street that makes my eyes pop-out, I usually say they are "long in the loincloth". But that may just be me.

I always say, "nice butt-flap."

As for A SLICE OF TERROR, yes, I have seen it. It certainly confounded me, until I realized that it was all a bad dream from which that character wouldn't awaken from. . .see, in films, EVERYTHING goes back to THE WIZARD OF OZ. . .

Anyway, I'd rather see Haboush acting than directing or writing. . .

I'm starting to get the hang of it.
