The Sixth Sense (Saw it several times to catch everything I missed the first time and then the director tries to repeat his formula and I haven't like a movie of his since: Unbreakable, Signs and I guessed the "Twist" of The Village without seeing the film and I was right. I have seen it on TV since)

"Formula"? What formula links "The Sixth Sense" to "Unbreakable" and "Signs"? Each is an utterly different-from-the-others film story. Is this "formula" your word for "genre" in this instance? They are of a particular genre. Much as Hitchcock specialized in a genre, Shyamalan specializes in a genre.

TOD:

Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet"
Brooks' "Young Frankenstein"
Penn's "Bonnie and Clyde"
Fosse's "Cabaret"
Spielberg's "Schindler's List"
Schaffner's "Patton"

To name a few singular sensations. It's not that they ushered in new techniques but that they were products of a perfection of vision and craftsmanship

How long before it shows up in my account DR ELMORE?

You can start writing checks now!

I'm up and it's very blue and sunshiny outside.

Whew! I went down there and I apparently succeeded in getting out the worst of it last night. It doesn't smell nearly as bad as it did and the dehumidifier has really dried it out. It doesnt' look like any more has come in, so taking a night off was a great idea.

Good news. I'm relieved you stuck to your plan & took the night off. I remember basements that needed dehumidifiers-what a pain.

...I remember Aunt Yenny and Oncle Sigrid, and my brother Nels with his Russian hands, and Mr. Thorkelson and his funny puppet shows, but most of all, I remember basements...

Hey, JMK:

What's wrong with www.blu-ray.com this morning?

JMK · « **Reply #39 on:** June 23, 2011, 11:05:59 AM »

Good question, I'm trying to find out myself.

JMK · « **Reply #40 on:** June 23, 2011, 11:10:17 AM »

Weirdly, our email server is still working as I just sent myself an email.

Craig has gone to Eugene regarding a possible employment opportunity. Yogi was restless & whimpering a little so I gave him some attention & then put both dogs on the deck.

It looks like we will be taking our tenants to court, unfortunately. They have played this about as stupidly as possible, all the more incomprehensible as they are both PhDs and Betsy and I have bent over backward to help/accommodate them every step of the way.

Jane · « **Reply #43 on:** June 23, 2011, 11:47:58 AM »

Sorry JMK though I'm not sure why being a PhD should make a difference. Being smart doesn't guarantee morals or common sense.

Laura · « **Reply #44 on:** June 23, 2011, 11:56:05 AM »

Having a PhD does not mean you have common sense.

JMK · « **Reply #45 on:** June 23, 2011, 11:57:01 AM »

I guess I just assumed (obviously wrongly) that well educated people would not be so incredibly stupid.

JMK · « **Reply #46 on:** June 23, 2011, 11:57:51 AM »

Would anyone here who has the time try going to www.blu-ray.com and letting me know if you can connect please?

JMK · « **Reply #47 on:** June 23, 2011, 11:58:47 AM »

My hunch is one of the owners has been playing with one of our new, improved search functions and has gummed up the works.

JMK · « **Reply #48 on:** June 23, 2011, 11:59:11 AM »

I actually connected a second ago, with a Proxy and Query error, but then it went down again.

Laura · « **Reply #49 on:** June 23, 2011, 12:05:21 PM »

Couldn't connect.

Well, darn-itl...Huguette Clark left me out of her will, after all.

Back to the drawing board.

JMK · « **Reply #51 on:** June 23, 2011, 12:09:05 PM »

Thanks, Laura.

In other news, I am meeting a workman at our rental at 1 p.m. our time. If I haven't posted again by 3 p.m. our time, chances are I'm lying in a hospital and/or am deceased. So, just in case, it's been grand knowing you all and BK I still want the credit.

JMK · « **Reply #53 on:** June 23, 2011, 12:10:58 PM »

Oooh, I never noticed this before--IE tells you now when other users are experiencing the same problem, which they are.

Laura · « **Reply #54 on:** June 23, 2011, 12:22:37 PM »

We'll miss you, JMK.

How does one pronounce this first name? "Huge" and "ette" seem to be opposites.

Jane · « **Reply #56 on:** June 23, 2011, 12:27:07 PM »

lol Laura.

Yogi is now whimpering because Keith has gone outside. He loves Keith. I don't give Yogi lots of treats so don't rate as well.

JMK · « **Reply #58 on:** June 23, 2011, 12:30:20 PM »

I believe it's Hew-GET.

JMK · « **Reply #59 on:** June 23, 2011, 12:43:58 PM »

Wish me luck.
