Well, you've read the notes, the notes were written in the old-fashioned way, and now it is time for you to post until the old-fashioned cows come home.

bk - you are working so hard. What if you relaxed Kriterland's new release schedule just a bit?

Wow!!!!

Buy a piece of Barbra!

Good morning!

We're back to two days of Indian summer. Not especially cool this morning, and it's going to be hot today and tomorrow (80s). Then, it seems we cool off, hopefully fort the rest of fall.

In re today's note's title:

I adore the Shirley Temple tune "Swing Me an Old-Fashioned Song."

Friday morning greetings! Another cold, rainy day here in SW Ohio. Rob is off to EMT school and then to Michigan for the weekend, Richard has to go to Lima to conduct a funeral this afternoon, and I suspect my mother will cancel our plans for today. Maybe I'll just watch Mad Men, Season 1, Disc 1 all day.

Good morning.

That is all.

I'm seeing Finian's Rainbow on Monday evening. I hope to see a certain leprechaun hanging around the theatre.

Ginny · « **Reply #11 on:** October 09, 2009, 05:50:44 AM »

Good overnight news from DRs Jose (about his apartment, his parents, and his overseas family) and from DR Elmore about Finian's Rainbow. Two weeks from tomorrow - I can't wait!

Ben · « **Reply #12 on:** October 09, 2009, 05:51:23 AM »

I doubt that said leprechaun will have a pot of gold but I'll look just the same

Hi, DR Ben - how are things in ~~Glocca Morra~~ your workplace?

Re: BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA.

I took a nice little beating from the fanboys for not raving about this movie when I reviewed the Blu-ray some months ago. Now, I didn't pan the movie; like bk, I got what Carpenter was doing but didn't think it was completely successful. There were certainly enjoyable parts to the film and Kurt was obviously having fun playing in this romp. I gave it a slightly above average score (I'd say a C+/B- grade). But the fanboys all dumped on me saying I didn't "get it" and why didn't my site assign someone to review it who understood what Carpenter et al were up to.

I took the high road and refused to be sucked into the debate. I let the review speak for itself, but I think that enraged them all the more. Thankfully, a couple of members defended the review.

Unless the Fox Blu-rays arrive today, I'm now back to the same quandry I was in earlier this week. I have two Criterion discs which come out on October 20 and 27th which seems eons away.

We can talk when you're in town. In the meantime this might answer your question

I don't say much on public boards, though this certainly says something

Matt H. · « **Reply #18 on:** October 09, 2009, 05:57:49 AM »

My problem is intensified a bit by the fact that I'm leaving town this afternoon to see my friend Gregg play Brian in THE SHADOW BOX tonight. I'll be back in town late tomorrow afternoon, but if any of those Fox discs come today, I likely won't have time to even start on them until Saturday night.

I am really looking forward to this night away from home, however. After all my health issues this year, this will be the first time I've been away from home for the night in many, many months. At one point, I thought I'd never be able to make a long car trip or sleep away from home again, so I'm really grateful my health has improved so I can rejoin the human race and actually go on a mini-vacation even for only one night.

If said leprechaun does, perhaps you'll be able to afford to purchase a used kleenex box from the estate of La Streisand!

I've started watching BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA on cable a number of times but it never drew me into it enough to stay to the end (or to the middle, actually.) I'ld rather watch ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.

Matt H. · « **Reply #23 on:** October 09, 2009, 06:02:17 AM »

A quick reminder: though newspapers may say differently, ABC has postponed the season premiere of UGLY BETTY for another week. It will return next Friday at 9 p.m.

PSYCH and MONK return with new episodes tonight.

I watched "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge" last night.

The CD in the car has Lou Reed singing, "Walk on the Wild Side," Sally Mayes singing "He Ain't Mr. Right," and "I Don't Say Anything" from the Adryan Russ album.

All the talk a few days ago about THE MUMMY has me hankerin' to watch the old Universal movies that starred Karloff and Lon Chaney Jr. I'm pretty sure they were all released in one of those Universal Horror sets a few years back. The question is did I buy it or not?

I, also, could never get into BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA. I started to watch it years ago, but turned it off after the first 20 minutes or so.
