That two "I'm reminded" posts in a row. I must be getting old-farty and kvetchy.

Boy howdy! Re: "While You Were Sleeping", her character is sweet and generous above all else.

DR Ron will no doubt be not surprised that I thought "While You Were Sleeping" was a waste of time.

But I did not even get half way through "Notting Hill".

I did enjoy "Four Weddings & A Funeral".

Clueless is a fun movie Elmore!

I also liked Legally Blonde.... Good cheesy fun but a lot of spunk!

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #186 on:** January 05, 2008, 02:07:55 PM »

Four Weddings and a Funeral was fun... I also had a hard time getting through Notting Hill.

I did like My Cousin Vinny and Runaway bride. They were fun.

I know the following is not great comedy but it is a fun guilty pleasure

Robin Hood; Men in Tights

Hmm.... Post 181 proves to be ironic on page 7!!

Congrats to Ron on reaching 16000 posts!!!

If it got into the 50s today, it was the low, low 50s. It felt cold when I went to get the mail around 2 p.m.

I managed to watch a couple of BONES episodes today before making and taking a plethora of phone calls.

The first BONES episode was the one with Booth taking part in an Ultimate Fighting match in Las Vegas. Temperance is a knockout herself when she gussies herself up to look like his "dame."

Matt H. · « **Reply #191 on:** January 05, 2008, 02:29:25 PM »

The second BONES episode was my favorite of season 2, the one where Temperance and Hodgins get buried alive by a serial killer. Makes me cry every time I watch this episode - so beautifully loving and genuinely emotional. Of course, it's their brains and ingenuity that save them.

Matt H. · « **Reply #192 on:** January 05, 2008, 02:29:53 PM »

And I will be watching CON-AIR and hopefully after that CHILDREN OF MEN later this evening.

Matt H. · « **Reply #193 on:** January 05, 2008, 03:06:26 PM »

OK, off to be with the dangerous con men on that infamous airplane flight.

And speaking of Food Writing...

I highly recommend the latest issue of Gourmet Magazine. The focus of this issue: Southern Food!

Got it. Agree.

Quote

They've published a wonderful essay "What Is Southern?" by one of the Grand Dames of Southern Cuisine, Edna May Lewis. The essay was just recently discovered, and the editors at Gourmet have more or less built the entire issue around it, which includes a good sampling of Edna May Lewis' recipes.

Yep

And on and on.

And for a bit more information on Edna May Lewis and Scott Peacock - and Southern Cooking(!), I highly recommend:

The Gift of Southern Cooking: Recipes and Revelations from Two Great American Cooks

Not only is the book filled with some wonderful recipes, but the recollections and advice from Miss Lewis and Mr. Peacock are invaluable.

*And the whole story about how the book came about, and how Lewis and Peacock became not only mentor and protege, but dear, dear friends, is quite wonderful in itself.

And over at Jessica's Biscuit, you can get her earlier book, The Taste of Country Cooking, for an absolute steal of a price at just $9.98, a full 60% off (which trumps Amazon easily).

A dog is having a bowel movement in front of the house. A man with a blue bag has cleaned it up.

Ah, The Blue Bag Blues. That's the title of my next volume of scatological verse.

RE: the AMAZING RACE

*
*

I'm curious who people like between who is left.

Personally i don't like gramps (find him slightly useless). Grandson is okay, but since they are a team...

I also dislike chinese yeller dad. But i love the daughter.

My favs are TK and rachel.

I really disliked Kynt and was happy to see them go (i thought she was nice though).

And i'm sure most here will disagree, but i kind of like jen and nate, especially her. I find them to be the most competitive team. And although they suck when they are not on top. They IMO are the strongest remaining team.

I am back from some errands and a bit of lunch at a place I totally forgot existed and one I haven't been to in over thirty years - The Lamplighter coffee shop. It was quite good.

Will we never get to page eight?

Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com?

We need more comedy film lists.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #204 on:** January 05, 2008, 04:01:15 PM »

A Sweeney update:

I checked with T.J., the bagger to whom I loaned our copies of a) the Sweeney Todd Lansbury/Hearn DVD, and b) the Sweeney Todd libretto. He hadn't had a chance to see the Burton film yet, but tonight he and a group of his friends will be seeing it together, and then gathering at his home to watch the DVD, getting the two versions back to back.

How many make a group of friends?

Fifteen, he said.

Fifteen youngsters getting exposed to Sondheim!

Who says Sweeney Todd isn't a feel-good experience!

As long as I'm mentioning Tim Burton, let's add

Beetle Juice
Edward Scissorhands (at least for the first half)

Ron P - Maybe I need to look at "While You were Sleeping" again. I recall cringing a bit at the leading character's behavior - but apparently many others disagree.

FJL · « **Reply #207 on:** January 05, 2008, 04:07:25 PM »

We must get to page 8 by 8 pm EST.

FJL · « **Reply #208 on:** January 05, 2008, 04:07:51 PM »

But how about by 7:30?

FJL · « **Reply #209 on:** January 05, 2008, 04:08:06 PM »

That's a tall order.
