Post by: bk on January 12, 2008, 12:04:19 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were meaty, and now it is time for you to post until the meaty cows come home. They're currently looking for the meat of things - of course, all they need is a mirror.

A friend has asked me to help him find a 32" LCD set for his den, so I'm busy scouring the internet for the best combination of price and quality. After I make that decision, we may head out today or tomorrow to see the set in person at Best Buy or Circuit City.

Title: Re:THE MEAT OF THINGS
Post by: Matt H. on January 12, 2008, 07:43:56 AM: Yes, I remember those covers of PETER GUNN and MR. LUCKY for the RCA Victor Record Club. They weren't offered for the Columbia Record Club that I was a member of. I liked Columbia's Broadway cast album selection better which is why I joined that club rather than RCA's version.

Later I joined a record club that didn't use monthly cards to return or automatic selection. Instead of a little magazine each month with selections, we had the entire Schwann catalog as our book of choice. On top of all that, the LPs were discounted and shipping was far less than with Columbia or RCA. True, you didn't get a bunch of free LPs for joining, but there was no membership period. Once you joined, you were always a member. I can't tell you how many hundreds of dollars I spent with that club, and I can't even remember the name of it now.

Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Title: Re:THE MEAT OF THINGS
Post by: Charles Pogue on January 12, 2008, 07:56:30 AM: BK, I have usually found that the going rate for a book dealer is to offer about one fourth of a book's worth. It's why I'd never sell any books to dealers (and that I wouldn't sell anyway, but if I had to...I'd get me a page on the ABE). But if I were trying to buy books from someone else, I'd certainly try to get them cheap as I can. My greatest coups have been buying books from dealers that they had underpriced. One of my favourites was buying a rare Rider Haggard bibliography off those old price-gougers at Heritage Bookshop for $75 that was worth over $200. Another was buying a off the internet William Goldman's YOUR TURN TO CURTESY, MY TURN TO BOW (in dj) for six bucks (about eight with shipping and handling) when every other copy I saw of it was going for about $350-375. Those kinds of coups are getting tougher though.

A show I remember fondly from my youth that I've recently been revisiting on TV that doesn't quite hold up to memory (though it's still fun) is BURKE'S LAW. But a couple of weeks ago they aired an episode written by Harlan Ellison that was heads and shoulders above the others I had seen. Just very funny and full of Harlanisms, " You bet your antimacassar"..."I need you like another set of elbows"...lots of pithy bon mots and full of witty alliterative toss-offs.

Post by: Druxy on January 12, 2008, 08:56:35 AM: I was a big fan of RAWHIDE, MAVERICK & CHEYENNE. Also enjoyed, THE TWILIGHT ZONE and IRONSIDE.

But, the sad truth is that the quality of television has improved so much over the last decade or so, that few (if any) pre-1980s series hold up today.

I've revisited most of my favorites on DVD during the past couple of years and, almost without exception, was disappointed in what I saw.

Our memories are much kinder to these shows than the passage of time.

The Friday we arrived in L.A. we were to stop at friends for Sabbath dinner (we always have an open invitation), a tradition that began for me in 10th grade. After two days of driving in sleeting rain and high winds we simply went to the hotel room. After checking in we took Sherlock for a walk, stopping at a Thai restaurant & Ralphs (turkey for his pills and a new umbrella for me)

Post by: DakotaCelt on January 12, 2008, 11:07:14 AM: TOD: I am including up to my early 20s

(Many of the shows in the late 70s and 1980s tended to get the Cheese factor and some were so bad they made you groan when you watch clips of them now)

Designing Women
Evening Shade
Little house on the prairie (Give me a break I was only 8 years old and my aunt had read the book to me.)
Big Blue Marble
Learning French on Sesame Street
Cosby Show
Dallas -- "Who Shot JR?"

::: hangs head in shame--- maybe::::
Days of our Lives (The classic era of the 1980s to 1991)
General Hospital (like some teen girls at the time we had a crush on Blackie Parrish and Dr. DRake)
Search for Tomorrow (Those damn McCleary boys!)
Santa Barbara (Lane Davies)

These are the ones I can think of at that moment that were also worth a raised eyebrow and excitement. There were a number of shows from the 1970s into the 1980s that I enjoyed.

Craig got his Bachelor degree in communications. His original intention was to be a D.J. I always enjoyed listening to him on the radio.

Was he ever heard to say:

Welcome, to the Quiet Storm....

Ah, sweaters! When I was in college, each winter I would splurge on a nice($$) sweater or two each year at the now long-gone Thalheimer's Department Store. Each year, I could not wait for the weather to get cold so that I could wear my sweaters.

The saddest part is that 2 were killed by their step-father who told police he was casting a spell and it went wrong, they were 8 and 10 years old. The third is a teenage girl who went missing from a party about a week ago, right around the same time that the girls were murdered. They found her yesterday.

We're going to SE Wisconsin for Richard's next-to-last residency week at Nashotah House (http://www.nashotah.edu). Since our 27th wedding anniversary falls in the middle of the week, I decided to go along.

I just released the opener and got the door to come down, so it'll be fine until they get here.

Post by: Matt H. on January 12, 2008, 02:58:54 PM: Which is why I disagree with what DR Druxy said earlier today. Some of the comedies of the 1970s hold up beautifully still. Not the ones necessarily based on topical issues. (I don't think MAUDE holds up well at all. I couldn't get through the entire box set. Glad I didn't have to review it.)

But comedies based on well developed characters with witty dialog and inventive set-ups like THE ODD COUPLE, THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, THE BOB NEWHART SHOW, MASH; they're still as hilarious today as ever.

Post by: Cillaliz on January 12, 2008, 03:16:07 PM: Well, the tech came over. He was all apologetic and I told him I wasn't upset and he said that the boss was. It took him about 5 min to adjust the down thrust (his words not mine) and he was on his way. He showed me where the adjustment is. There is a center column between my doors but the openings aren't standard so it requires one 18 foot door. Apparently the door hits the weatherstripping at a certain point and thinks it's hitting something so it goes back up.
I think the reason it worked all week is that it was warm out, the weather stripping was more pliable so it gave when the door got there . Just my thought. The tech is now on his way home to eat enchiladas.

Now on to Bollywood number two, the 2007 hit film NAMASTE LONDON starring Akshay Kumar as a Punjabi guy in love with a spoiled British born Indian gal.

I love the soundtrack, so I hope to love the movie as well, and I always enjoy Akshay in these types or roles (as opposed to his action hero roles).

As he was carrying Kitty into his place a neighbor stopped, felt bad for the pathetic sound cat, and offered to feed her next time he leaves town. I think he will take the neighbor up on the offer. He is hoping to have job interviews, most of which will require traveling.

Post by: Matt H. on January 12, 2008, 08:18:20 PM: There were no bonus features in this DVD set, so I went to the t-watch shelf where the other two boxes of THE ODD COUPLE are sitting and saw that there were a pile of bonus features in the first season box, so I opened it and watched some of them including Jack Klugman's surprise Emmy win that year (Carroll O'Connor was heavily favored to win for ALL IN THE FAMILY) and an outtake reel.

Funny thing about the outtakes, with one exception, the outtakes were from episodes from season three that I had been watching the last three days. So, they jumped the gun with those.

It's a glorious film and a quite marvelous story dealing with the battle of sexes/classes in 19th century Sweden. The play versionis definitely one I'll be reading since I know the director added flashbacks to the film that are only mentioned in the play.

Whoever packed the disc into the jewel case stamped the DVD with the anti-theft strip, and I had to peel it very, very carefully off the bottom of the disc (the side read by the laser) hoping it wouldn't leave residue that would impede my viewing of the disc. Thankfully, after removing it carefully and rubbing the spot, it had only a slight little pause when the laser reached that part of the disc. With deadlines looming, I didn't want to have to wait for another review copy.
Title: Re:THE MEAT OF THINGS
Post by: Matt H. on January 12, 2008, 08:26:54 PM: When I finished the film, I watched the 33 minute video essay on the movie by film historian Peter Cowie. It was a very thorough discussion of the original playwright, the film's director, and, of course, the film itself along with information on the actors playing the leading roles. Max Von Sydow plays the tiny part of the groom in the film. He's 21 years old and in some ways looks 60 already. He's always had that mature countenance about him.

Post by: MBarnum on January 12, 2008, 09:55:24 PM: I didn't get to watch NAMASTEY LONDON because the disc wouldn't play on my dvd player for some bizarre reason. I had watched one of the musical numbers when I first got the disc, so I know it works...or it did at one time.

Well, instead I watched a cute, screw ball comedy about a gal who flies to London to attend her sister's wedding. She hires an actor to pretend to be her boyrfriend.

It was a cute movie called AAP KI KHATIR (2006)

Interestingly, this DVD has subtitles in English and in Dutch.
