Sorry to hear about the postage snafu, bk.  Someday you will look back on all this and laugh.

Laugh, I tell you.

[singdaw]

A chocolate macaroon will be the extent of my Seder tonight before I collapse into bed.

We will do the whole thing properly tomorrow night.

[singdaw]

And the youngest DR may ask the four questions.

[Cillaliz]

DR Cillaliz really puts those briefs together.    

this is the client I had to find underwear for

Page 6 Passover dance - Everyone do the MACAROON-A

[FJL]

That's the hottest dance this year at the Matza Ball

The person judged the best takes home a plague.  Oh, what the heck, we'll give out ten plagues.

....when he was conducting BARNUM around 1980....

I beg your pardon?!

[MBarnum]

DRIVING TO ZIGZAGLAND was such a good movie...probably one of the most enjoyable films I have seen in the theatre in a looooong time...I hope it finds a distributor soon!

Jim was unable to see the movie as he had to take his dog Scruffy to the vet. Scruff kept vomiting all last night and this morning....so Jim went to the Indiekids Short Subjects series this morning with me and we both had lunch with Mustafa at India Palace (Mustafa's new favorite place to eat...however, he still doesn't like Bollywood movies).

After wishing Jim luck at the doggie clinic, Mustafa and I went to the Grand Theater (built in 1900) and watched and laughed and enjoyed DRIVING TO ZIGZAGLAND...it is about an actor from Palistine who goes to Hollywood to make it big...only gets offered "terrorist" type roles and ends up a cab driver and starving actor. Really, really good film.

Mustafa then admitted to me that he (a Muslim) was fascinated by the Jewish religion, which I thought was neat.

FROGS..... THE FROGS I SAY

BREK-KEK-KEK! KO-AX                                      

[MBarnum]

An now I will not watch a Bollywood movie...but instead will watch one of the great American musicals....CHA CHA CHA BOOM! (1956) starring Stephen Dunne and Alix Talton and a lot of mambo music.

I believe MOONLIGHT was expected to be a new episode, but GHOST WHISPERER had scheduled a rerun.

Correct about GHOST WHISPERER; incorrect about MOONLIGHT. It was always CBS' intention to replay the last previously aired episode of MOONLIGHT (where he becomes temporarily mortal) before launching into the rest of the season's episodes next week.

[Matt H.]

MattH, personally I've much preferred the documentaries on the Indy boxed sets to the actual episodes.  They're longer than 5 minutes.  

They sure are. They're about 30 minutes each (at least the five I've watched thus far) and very well done; kind of like mini-BIOGRAPHY episodes.

I never watched the YOUNG INDY CHRONICLES when it was on TV so this is my first experience with them. They just don't have the verve of the movies though they try in fits and starts to match it. Pairing two episodes together into a "movie" is a lame idea. And it seems very forced to place him in plots with historical personages in every episode.

[Matt H.]

Thanks for the GHOST WHISPERER info. I guess i just thought all episodes for now would be new!

You fell right into the trap CBS set for you to do. They had a week or two of new episodes to get people back into the mood of watching CBS and then this week, almost all of their showcase series were back in reruns for a week. New episodes start back up full time next week for their series.

[Matt H.]

I finished the second half of the first Indy Jones Chronicle. In this one he meets and becomes very fond of author Edith Wharton and she with him(who was actually old enough to be his mother in real life).

[Matt H.]

That first movie had four documentaries attached to it including pieces on Edith Wharton, Hemingway, and the French Foreign Legion.

[Matt H.]

I then started the next Indy Jones chronicle. The first part of it took place in Turkey as Indy strove to find who a traitor was who was selling French military secrets to the Turks. The perp was obvious, and once again, Indy was given a serious love interest. He even went so far as to propose to her. Naturally she HAD to come to a bad end.

[Matt H.]

I then watched tonight's season finale of TORCHWOOD. Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!

What a season finale!
















Next year's show will certainly be different.

[Matt H.]

Then, I finished the second part of the Indy Chronicle. In this one he heads to Romania where he and his party come into contact with Dracula. This Dracula was made to resemble Murnau's Nosferatu rather than the Lugosi Dracula. There were a couple of good fright moments, and so far this came the closest to matching the verve and tongue-in-cheek of the movies.

[Matt H.]

There are four documentaries connected with this episode as well, but I skipped to the one on Dracula and watched it to end my evening.

[bk]

Has anyone mentioned that we lost the wonderful sweet Peter Howard?

[bk]

Back from a lovelier than lovely dinner.

[bk]

And am shocked, shocked do you hear, to see this puny number of postings.  We'd just better have us a frenzy or three.

[FJL]

BK - Peter Howard's passing  was mentioned at replies #125 and 132, also by td at reply 141, among a couple of others.  

[Matt H.]

I had my frenzy and now I'm going to bed.

Good night!

[Ginny]

Richard, Rob, and I are settled into the Holiday Inn Express here in Celina, OH, after my fun drive from Columbus with niece Lauren and a visit at her parents' lake house.  They fed me much-needed wine.

The conference went almost perfectly and I'm exhausted.  I did win 2 silent auction items - a Vera Bradley handbag and an assortment of Robert Rothschild snacks and dips.

Gotta sleep now - see y'all in the morning!

[DearReaderLaura]

We saw Sweeney Todd on tour this afternoon. I hope the gimmick with the actors playing instruments dies out. FAST.

[JMK]

We have had our Passover festive meal, and it was quite festive with four other families able to actually fit into our new, expanded dining room!

But I must say I was most excited to get to my email and see some really heartfelt thanks from Samuel Bronston's son and Bronston's biographer for my review of The Fall of the Roman Empire which just went up.  I was blown away.

[td]

I watched a dvd which featured a sexy George Chakiris, a half-naked Yul Brynner, a veddy British Shirley Ann Field and a fine Elmer Bernstein score: KINGS OF THE SUN.

[Cillaliz]

I am tired, planting trees is hard work. I am going to sleep
