I haven't Twitter'd so far, but I've been thinking about it.

I was going to watch PROJECT RUNWAY when I got in from lunch, but the Private Screenings interview with Angela Lansbury was airing on TCM, so I watched that instead. I had seen it before, obviously, and wish it had been two hours because Angela could have filled it with stories about films, TV, and stage work they didn't get around to talking about much if at all.

Next, I watched the first Mizoguchi film in the box set: OSAKA ELEGY. It's a 1936 melodrama, not really all that interesting for me except to see his style and some interesting shots. The Eclipse DVDs haven't been cleaned or processed like a full-blown Criterion release, so this old film was filled with scratches and dirt and damage, and the soundtrack was full of hiss and crackle.

I skipped through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing, but Wheatley and Lucinda were in the previews so maybe Luke and Noah will be in the show tomorrow.

Check out the fantastic Leslie Kritzer. I believe this was her audition tape for SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE:

In the half hour I had left, I began PROJECT RUNWAY, I got through the fashion show, so here are my thoughts:

I liked Kouto's show the best. I loved the designs, the mix of long and short, and the bold colors really caught my eye. I liked every single piece in the collection

LeAnne's look was soft and flowy, but I found the continuous "waves" monotonous. Unlike Rami's draping last year which showcased interesting designs and fits, the designs here got overpowered by those floppy, ruffly waves on almost every single piece. I'd say about six of the looks I found really appealing.

Kenley's show was a riot of color, but I didn't find it appealing. Eye-catching yes, and as demonstrative as clothes as she is as a person, but I only liked two of the designs out of the 10 pieces.

I have not heard the judges' comments (though, as I said this morning, I do know who won but not who finished second or third). Those were my picks. Of course, I haven't EVER picked a PROJECT RUNWAY winner, so what do *I* know?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #192 on:** October 16, 2008, 01:42:04 PM »

As for last night's "Project Runway"....

I, too, liked all three collections. However...

It was interesting listening to the judge's critiques and comments. -And I had to wonder what comments got edited out. I felt all the concern over LeAnne overusing those "waves/petals" was sort of unnecessary, since LeAnne did communicate to Tim Gunn that she was inspired for this collection. -And it's not like other designers have ever "themed" a collection. In fact, that's the norm. And I don't seem to recall her using those "waves" during any of her pieces during the earlier stages of the competition.

As for Kenley's "copy-catting", well, I don't follow fashion that much at all - except for seeing what gets featured in the windows at Macy's and Bloomingdales - but even I recognized some of her unintentional "homages". And I'm sure she's paged through a copy of Vogue or W sometime in her lifetime, and I'm guessing some of the images she may have paged over probably got lodged somewhere in her mind.

As for Korto's collection, I really liked the variety of it too. And I thought her "editing" of her collection was a very smart move too.

YEAH!!!

My Dad just called from the hospital. They're just waiting for my Mom's recovery room to be readied for her. However, since this morning, she's already had a brief session of physical therapy, and she took a walk! She should be in her room by 6:00, and then I'll head over for a visit.

Great news, Jose!!

Back from the mail place and Gelson's. I got some ribs - the first three were good, but the second three were too meaty for me and I left most of the meat on them. I had one package - from Optimum Releasing in the UK. I'd gotten their new DVD of Far From The Madding Crowd a few months ago. Their original release had been in an incorrect screen ratio of 1:78 rather than scope. So, we all figured they'd fixed the problem. They hadn't - despite the box (as in the first release) saying 2.35:1 it was the same old incorrect transfer. I wrote them a very strong letter about it and they wrote me back after a few days apologizing for their double screw up and they offered to send me some DVDs. Said DVDs arrived today - two box sets, one a bunch of Jean Renoir films and the other a box of four Agatha Christie films, which I have in region one - I'll check out the transfers to see if they're better. But, best of all, there was a check disc of Far From the Madding Crowd, this time done correctly. The film is coming from Warners in January, I think, but the color on this Optimum transfer is very nice, and given Warners track record, unless they're using this exact transfer, theirs will probably be all brown and ugly.

I have tidied the family room, vacuumed upstairs and down, cleaned the kitchen sink, done some laundry, and made myself some lunch...all while wearing Toby on my chest. Now I'm going to eat my veggie soup and some pita bread with hummus and relax until Toby wakes up and demands to be fed.

Matt H. · « **Reply #197 on:** October 16, 2008, 02:08:17 PM »

Going to write for a bit and then head downstairs. I have the rest of PROJECT RUNWAY (about 20 minutes) and then I may be able to squeeze in a CHARLIE CHAN movie before prime time TV begins.

Is there no yard work to be done?

Weird today - I don't feel as good as I did yesterday - more coughing today - maybe that's just the end of this, but I didn't cough much at all yesterday.
