Haines His Way

H/K REUNION!  Tomorrow night...NYC.

Be there or be...

Sorry, guys and gals, but I must now sleep.

I'll check in here early [EARLY!] tomorrow morning, and then again around the noon hour when I return from doing church.  Sure hope we can do this thing!  

I gather XANADU is a fairly short show, under 2 hours.

Apparently, the running time is about 90 minutes - with no intermission.  Which is actually shorter than the movie!  WHEW!

DR FRANCOIS thanks for posting the Art Linkletter interview.  Very very interesting.

And I am of course intrigued by the idea of George White's Sandals.

Perhaps to boost our posting number for today, I shall bore -- er -- amuse you all with some nature photos.

Hmm... When I first read this, I thought you had posted:  "mature photos".

 

 

I can't do dinner after the show.  We're having company tomorrow night at 7, and I promised I'd be home as soon as possible after 5.  But I hope the timing works out so's I can say hello to singdaw.  (Hmmm, that almost sounds like what happened that night in Westport.   )

So Jose, can we meet at the Helen Hayes at 10 minutes to 3?  I already have the tix, so no need to get them at the box office.

Now for the bad/puzzling news...

I just got back from the 7:00 showing of "Private Property ("Nue propriété).  When I left the theatre, I figured it had to be at least 9:30... It was only 8:40...

The cast was headed by the always amazing Isabelle Huppert, and she shared most of the screen time with real life twins (and rather cute too!) Jérémie and Yannick Renier playing her twin sons.  This happened.  Then that happened.  Then we watched them fight.  Then we watched them watch TV.  It was one of those very measured and "simple" movies where we observe people's lives.  Joachim Lafosse was the director, and for what it was, it was good.  Alas, I found most of it a bit tedious, drawn out, and a little too artsy (plain) for it's own good.

When the movie finished, I heard many people asking their companions, "What was that?"  I was asking the same thing, just to myself, in my head.  Once I returned to street level - the cinemas at Lincoln Square are underground - I went back to the display ad for the movie which featured the somewhat glowing NY Times review.  I just had to read it to see if there was anything I had missed.  Well... Other people who had just seen the movie were doing the same thing.

Mr Jérémie Rénier is from Belgium: I have not seen his twin in movies yet! Besides being good looking (He's a brunette who likes his hair blond! Thought you'd like to know J.R. (!) is quite talented as an actor.
I am a fan.
He reminds me of Gavin Creel....

...stuck in the Midwest?

Ain't it the truth?  

Page five, where art thou?

Thou art coming. . . .

Will we never get to page six?

Comin' right up!

At this rate we'll be lucky if we get to page six.

No problemo.

I could post a couple of those.

Thanks for ONCE over, DR JOSE.  I will try to see it when it comes to Indianapolis in 2010.

I could post a couple of those.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!
