Richard Fleischer's CHE! Currently on Fox Movie Channel. Maltin famously says, "You haven't lived till you've seen Jack Palance as Castro."

I don't know, maybe I'm crazy. It could have been cast better, but Palance doesn't seem that bad, and I'm no huge fan of his.

Sounds like England...maybe because the food is so blah. They would put ketchup on spaghetti!

Umm...I actually used to do that, myself.

I've finally caught up on all the posts!

My sister just called. She and my mom are coming over a little later to put up curtains in my house. I don't know if they're going to put them up here in my TV/computer room, or just downstairs in my one little kitchen window and the back sliding glass doors. I'll find out soon enough.

I wouldn't mind, if I hadn't cooked the spaghetti and spent a lot of time on the sauce!

Went to put a few CDs away and got caught up in trying to get some stuff organized.

Didn't Irving Berlin rhyme "tarry" with "marry" in "Annie Get Your Gun"?

Actually, I believe it rhymes with "merry."

It's beginning to look a lot unlike Christmas in our house. Everything is put away except the tree and we'll do that tomorrow.

Oh, and the Christmas dishes, which we'll put away after we run the dishwasher next.

The other day I was lamenting the fact that I had always wanted to see RIO RITA (1929), and it was just too primitive to get shown very often.

Lo and behold, in the newspaper TV section this morning, I saw that TCM is showing the 1929 RIO RITA next Sunday morning at 6 a.m. I can't BELIEVE my luck!

Aren't most autistics pretty one note anyway?
...

There's a class of autistics that comes to the store about once a week, usually on Thursdays, with their teachers, learning how to shop. I get a kick out of helping them out, and most of them seem to get a kick out of this total stranger smiling, talking with them, and treating them like normal people. As a group, they're quite shy and unsure of themselves, but very nice.

Quite enjoyed the rest of THE HARDY BOYS mystery. I hadn't remembered the ending, and so it was like seeing something new from time to time.

I watched the rest of "Life After Tomorrow" last night. It was very interesting and well-put together. But I couldn't help but feel the lack of Andrea McArdle. I saw her in a few clips but there were very few mentions of her. BK, any insight as to why she wasn't included? I've never seen the show, but I have always thought of her as the definitive "Annie". And I never knew Sarah Jessica Parker was an Annie!

What kind of material?

Poplin? Satin? Something sheer, or heavy like muslin?

You could try singing though something flashy like lame, but that would muffle your voices terribly.

On the second disc in the HARDY set, Leonard Maltin does another introduction (different from the one on the first disc), and in it, he mentions that there WAS a second Hardy mystery - THE MYSTERY OF GHOST FARM.

I thought I remembered a second Hardy mystery from THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB, but in talking with someone yesterday about it, I talked myself out of it saying that maybe I was confusing it with the second SPIN & MARTY serial.

Anyway, I'm hoping Disney will release this one in another year or so. I'd love to have both of them.

I remember reading an interview with her, and in her comments about ANNIE, I got the feeling that she doesn't remember it fondly. She was very bitter about losing the Tony to Dorothy Loudon (who she considered was a supporting actress in the show and not the lead), and she didn't want people to think of her as that little girl who was always singing "Tomorrow." She seemed to think that memories of her in that show closed doors for her to be considered a grown-up actress, so she wanted to talk about other things she had done on Broadway- Belle and Fantine rather than just ANNIE all the time.

Ok, ok, you people have forced me to put THE MUSIC MAN into my NETFLIX queue.

The second disc in the HARDY set also contained a lengthy interview with Tim Considine and Tommy Kirk conducted by Leonard Maltin. Tim looked very good; Tommy, less so. Of course, I know Tommy has had a very hard life since leaving Disney in the mid-60s. At one point, I think he was practically destitute and working as a janitor when his acting career petered out. I believe he also had a terrible drug problem for a long time, so I guess we're fortunate that he's still around to talk about those years.
