Dang. We just got another census in the mail. I guess that means they didn't get the one we sent back.

So is Kitty's suit blue or green?  I guess the guy doing the lobby card couldn't make up his mind.

I keep forgetting to mention that I watched NINE the movie over the weekend.

I didn't hate it....it was okay.....BUT I did not see the original production OR have I heard the OBC....so I am just taking it as it is....

8 1/2 was one strange movie - and NINE is strange - in its own weird way.....of course the editing in the musical numbers was too much.....but one got used to it.

$5 at Blockbuster......only $5....and worth about that.

JRand, # two of the Steve Cochran film fest  (Tomorrow's Another Day) was also very wonderful!

Did you ever watch that film of his that I sent to you, TELL ME IN THE SUNLIGHT? The actress who stars along with Steve in that film lives nearby. One day I will have to get in touch with her.

Perhaps her outfit was cut from Mood Suede.

I've always been puzzled by the reception BK's new book receives. I think Bruce had a GREAT career! How could someone not be impressed by it?

Good news: I just checked the kitties' numbers, and it looks like Vixmom and two boys were adopted over the weekend.

Speaking of crimes, 83 years ago Sacco and Vanzetti were executed...a crime against the ideals of justice.

Since were posting reviews today, I want to thank (and share) BK's blurb for my memoir, which appears on the back cover:

“Michael Druxman’s new book is like taking a time machine back
to those thrilling days of yesteryear, a time when there was a real Hollywood with real
movie stars and the kind of class that no longer exists in that place they call Hollywood
today. The tales of his days as a ‘publicist for a price’ are endearing and droll, and the
celebrities he handled make for a grand cast of characters in this very affectionate
memoir. Add to that the stories of writing and directing for Roger Corman, as well as
his childhood memories, and you have a book that’s a fun, fast read.”

Also, one from Charles Pogue:

“Michael B. Druxman may have escaped Hollywood after forty-five years, but
he also survived and thrived there all those years...hardly a feat for the faint-hearted.
His entertaining and amusing memoir tells us how he did it. With tenacity and talent, he
went from PR agent to screenwriter to director and, along the way, rubbed shoulders
with a fascinating array of characters, con-men, and artists. From the stars to the
strugglers, from the saints to the scammers, from those who soared to those who took a
swan dive, they're all here. We meet the great, the near-great, the not-so great who
make Hollywood their home and their hunting ground. Druxman depicts their triumphs
and follies, as well as his own, with the nuanced eye of one who has seen Hollywood at
its meanest and most magnificent.”

Thanks, guys.

 :)

Great blurbs and congrats on the publication of your book, Druxy!

Topic of the Day:

I have to admit that the only mystery "series" that I've read has been the Andrea Hofstetter books...and I can't wait for the next one!
