Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no bon mots, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they've got plenty of bon MOOS.

I remember hearing about "The Crying Game" when it first came out and was told (with my permission) what the "twist" was before I saw it. Finding out about "twists" in movies before I see them rarely bothers me but that was one of the few times that I was actually disappointed that I knew.

Morning all.

That is all.

We had a very nice and relaxing weekend on Long Island. I'm home now and it's damp and warm.

We hope to see Mr. Moore this weekend as we have CDs for him. We will be in the city for the entire weekend.

Good morning, all! I was awakened by the jerk above me having noisy sex around 1:45; at 2 am I was writing an email to the landlord. i am very pissed this morning, and I have a very full day: barber at 9, doctor at 10:45, a trip to Toyland to wait for a UPS delivery, hopefully a nap when I get back, and then the 50th anniversary performance of THE FANTASTICKS. There was an event on Saturday that I didn't know about with a lot of former cast members; Bruce Pomahac wrote to me last night that Tom Jones' two boys Sam and Mike asked where I was. The answer's simple: I didn't know!

DR Ginny, I will be at McKinley Grand Hotel (which is right downtown) http://www.mckinleygrandhotel.com

At the moment, the only really huge movie surprise I can remember is the moment in WAIT UNTIL DARK when I realized Richard Crenna was not who he seemed. I'm so tired, I don't know who I am.

Monday morning greetings! I crashed about 10:30 last night, so woke up quite early this morning. The rest of the household is stirring, because Fr. Richard has to conduct a funeral in Hamilton at noon.

Thanks for the info, DR Elmore. I will make our reservations today. Can we help you with airport transportation?

I don't know yet. I do feel some obligation for leaving that to my hosts at the moment. They may be happy to pass the buck to you, but they may also have Sunday morning plans. I know the return flights at 12:12 pm, and that's about all.

TOD - The Sixth Sense

I never saw the Crying Game - i heard about the twist and felt like it would ruin the experience - but I suppose I really should find time to check it out

OH!! I just realized - this laptop plays DVDs! I can start watching my movies while Vixdad is ~~hogging the set~~, enjoying his ~~interminable~~ CSI reruns

You are our most beloved curmudgeon - and I am so sorry that the upstairs neighbor is a miserable inconsiderate jerk.

I am taking the VAIO in today to have ROXIO removed.

DO NOT INSTALL ROXIO ON YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER DVD/CD SOFTWARE ON IT.....thank you.

DR VIXMOM I look forward to the link.

Well it is raining quite a bit now. But since I did all that gardening and mulching and transplanting this weekend - the rain will nicely help all those shocked plants settle into their new beds

It was one of the greatest "twists" in the history of movies.

Let's Twist Again Like We Did Last Summer!

Druxy · « **Reply #28 on:** May 03, 2010, 05:39:56 AM »

Today, I'm sending my typesetter-book designer the CD filled with my final edited text, photographs and cover material for my Hollywood memoirs, MY 45 YEARS IN HOLLYWOOD AND HOW I ESCAPED ALIVE.

I'm not sure how long the process takes from this point (I still have to correct the galleys), but I assume that the book will be available by the end of summer, or shortly thereafter.

Thanks to BK, Charles Pogue and producer Stanley Rubin for supplying cover blurbs.

TOD:

Certainly THE CRYING GAME is #1.

But, I never anticipated the "twist" in THE SIXTH SENSE either.

Other top contenders:

PSYCHO
A BIG HAND FOR THE LITTLE LADY
