I meant to mention this yesterday and it kept slipping my mind.Yesterday on TCM, ANATOMY OF A MURDER was shown. It was presented properly in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio looking very different from the full screen version released by Columbia/Sony some years back.I think it's time for them to reissue this in a correctly anamorphic edition. The TCM print, even without anamorphic enhancement, looked fabulous.
Make of it what you will!
I just read in VARIETY that Emmy-winning character actor Tom Poston has died. Another grand performer who will be greatly missed.
I forgot to mention that yesterday I met the other lawyer in town who does some immigration. He's also in the same building, but he's only been a lawyer for a few years and he hasn't really gotten his name out, at least not the way I have been.He seemed very pleased to hear I'm going to do immigration, he had that look on his face like, "oh thank god I'll have someone to ask questions" He's also going to Disneyworld, so I'm hoping we can talk and get to know each other a little there.
Sometimes a blind item is a blind item. Deliberately.
All right. I've deleted it.But remember that you have used his name in past posts and the search engine can surely find it.
We finished watching Slings and Arrows last night. We had a three night marathon watching two episodes Saturday, two Sunday and the final two last night. It was a good way to end the series. I do appreciate the British and Canadian sensibility that you don't have to run a series into the ground. 3 seasons of 6 episodes each is fine. You don't necessarily need 15 or 18 episodes over 10 or 11 years. The well dries up (IMHO)
Congrats to our lovely Cillaliz!It's an old fashioned Barber Shop right in your building. That's cool. I still go to a barber, not a stylist. I don't have enough hair to warrant paying $50 or more for a haircut, plus if I can't wash it and dry it and walk out the door, I ain't gonna get it cut fancy (I sound like some redneck )
TOD:Other than my mother's birthday on the 3rd (a woman of certain years) and my parents 50th Wedding anniversary on the 20th. Nothing much. They aren't celebrating. I think it has a lot to do with that they have outlived so many of their friends/spouses and especially my father's brother and 1st cousin were also married that same year and they didn't make it.
I cancelled the rest of the SLINGS & ARROWS DVDs from my Netflix quay. I used to think that I would gladly watch Paul Gross read the New York Telephone Directory for 24 straight hours; but I guess I was mistaken. I just couldn't get into S & A. Maybe I will wait a few months and try again.
I had expectations (Oh my, yes! E-x-p-e-c-t-a-t-i-o-n-s!) that I'd receive my DVD box of Tyrone Power movies today.I received a shipping notification over the weekend. So, this morning, I "tracked" my UPS shipment to see if it was "out for delivery".What I found, instead: 04/30/2007 9:06 P.M. MERCHANDISE IS MISSING. UPS WILL NOTIFY THE SENDER WITH ADDITIONAL DETAILS.;ALL MERCHANDISE MISSING, EMPTY CARTON WAS DISCARDED. UPS WILL NOTIFY THE SENDER WITH DETAILS OF THE DAMAGE Aughghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghgh!
I didn't know Paul Gross was in this . Now I'm really looking forward to watching. I hope we like it better than you did.
