I personally have made about thirty posts in the last four seconds.

So it is written, so it shall be done - page four.

Will we never get to page five?

I'm at home and watching TV. I watched an episode of "How I Met Your Mother" and now am watching the second hour of the two-hour season premier to "Las Vegas." My sister just called, reminding me that I said that I'd help her get some shelving units at Costco (which is where I need to go anyway, to get more blank DVD-Rs for the rest of the Legally Blonde copies, since I ran out of discs

), so I need to stop watching TV, take a shower, put on some clothes and go to Costco, then it'll probably be time for rehearsal.

Have a good day, all!

Last night after the meeting I went to the Hollywood Forever Cemetary to take part in their amazing Dia De Los Muertos celebration. There were about 200 Alters to honor the dead, along with about 50 arts/craft vendors and authentic mexican food vendors. There were five stages with dance troups and musical ensembles performing everything from ancient aztec traditional dances to modern mexican american music. Throughout the night there were over 10,000 people walking though.

I have pictures, but I cannot figure out how to turn them right side up at the moment

The official HHW clock has adjusted for Daylight Saving Time, but it evidently didn't get the memo that Congress changed when Daylight Saving Time ends...next weekend, not this weekend.

FULL DINNER JACKET - wasn't that a parody on some TV show?

Dear esteemed bk, have you watched the motion picture CRUISING yet?

George · « **Reply #100 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:03:21 PM »

Singdaw, thanks for the Vibes for Ebonie!

Now...off to Costco!

Perhaps MR BK could look ON DEMAND for MAD MEN.

Hmmm....looks like Momma Jazz Singer is missing part of the pinky on her right hand.....

Watching the extras on THE JAZZ SINGER set....so TJS was filmed at the New York Studios...and the WB bought First National in 1928.

Did they NOT have Hollywood facilities until then?

This is not correct. The Warners Studios then were in Hollywood and when they bought First National, they moved there (Burbank). Warners did have a New York based studio, too, but THE JAZZ SINGER was filmed in Los Angeles.

Perhaps Full Metal Jacket - haven't seen it since the day it came out. Loved the first half, hated the second. We'll see how I feel now.

Exactly how I feel. I think the first half is as galvanizing a film about the military as has ever been made. The second half couldn't be more disappointing, dull even. The outskirts of London just can't substitute for Southeast Asia.

I was thinking that was the case, but it's not too clear on the DVD....they even show the New York Vitagraph studio and have people talking about the facilities when they start talking about the filming.

I spent almost the entire afternoon with CSI: MIAMI episodes. I am one away from finishing. I finally got the the last three episodes which contain the firing of Ryan Wolfe and his desperation in trying to maintain a kindship to the team.

Even knowing how things are going now on the show, these episodes still make my blood boil. And his "friends" on the squad were SO judgmental and harsh, everyone except Natalia Boa Vista, and she talked behind his back though she was civil with him in person. If I were Ryan, I'd definitely by trying to cultivate some new friends even if I did want to get back on the team.

Ron Randell was Cole Porter in KISS ME KATE and a pretty mean guy in THE GIRL IN BLACK STOCKINGS

Yes, but in their defense, they do show the Hollywood based studio, too. Have you listened to the commentary? Maybe that's how I knew this stuff more clearly.

I did watch the Jonathan Togo featurette on the last disc. It's a 25 minute tour of the REAL Miami-Dade Police Department and intervews with several key personnel there.

Matt H. · « **Reply #110 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:29:05 PM »

So, I have one more 40 minute episode (season finale) and then I can watch one of the movies on the DVR. Either that or the new transfer of SCROOGE/A CHRISTMAS CAROL that I have sitting here.

I haven't actually been able to find the DVD of Cruising.

BK-

How does one(if they are so inclined) participate in your silent auction if they live very far away from the auction?
It will, indeed , be very silent to say the least.

You can get it at AMAZON for $15.

Most retail outlets will not carry it, for obvious reasons.
