According to CNN

Glenn Ford has just passed away.

He was still alive??

I thought he died a long time ago. $:-\$

I'm wondering if they will tell them before or after the first eviction....I'm guessing after. I hope Chicken George wins HOH, that would really shake things up

LOL! I agree! It will be interesting to see what occurs in the house!

Over the last few years I sort of started appreciating Glenn Ford.

James Whitmore is another actor I have only recently begun to appreciate.

I like James Whitmore

DR George: Crossed fingers on your offer for the condo!

Has anyone talked to you yet about a curious phenomenon called "buyer's remorse"?

It passes....so don't worry when/if it happens to you.

Matt...I don't suppose you (or anybody else) recorded "Romance/Romance," did you? I remember watching and taping this on A&E (when it was still "Arts & Entertainment TV"), but I have not been able to find my tape of it. Since I started boxing up all my videos, I've been trying to find certain ones, and that's one of the ones that I can't find.

I have a very grainy, very horrible taped-off-TV copy of that ROMANCE/ROMANCE. Reception was very bad that night on A&E, and I always assumed it would be back on again at a time when I could get a better copy. I never saw it appear again.

I know Singer or whoever the sponsor was sold a commercial tape of that show, but I waited for a rebroadcast (to save money), and it never happened.

Would be glad to dub you a copy on DVD-R, but believe me, the quality is really dreadful.

I slept a bunch of the afternoon away...and when I woke up, I felt crappy.

It occurred to me that, despite the fact I wasn't at all hungry, I hadn't eaten anything other than a slice of cantaloupe and a banana the entire day.

A bowl of split pea soup later I was almost a new man.

For supper: Stouffer's "Grandma's Old-Fashioned Chicken Rice Bake"...my favorite comfort food for such occasions.

I'm watching American Masters...Judy Garland

I love that program. Thankfully (and thoughtfully) Warners placed a copy of it on the second disc in the EASTER PARADE DVD set.

I read last year that Glenn Ford's son had been after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to vote his father a special Oscar for the last few years. His father's greatest wish was to receive an Oscar. The Board of Governors never did it. Now it's too late.

Tonight I was going to watch NEW FACES on videotape, but several phone calls from friends who had lost power delayed my starting it, so I watched a MURDER SHE WROTE rerun episode off the Biography Channel. It happened to be one from the later years I hadn't seen - Jessica in a "duel" with another college professor to discover the solution to the mystery of a campus murder. Interesting scenario, but unlike the early years in the series, the audience wasn't given enough information ahead of time to be able to solve it ourselves.

BONES introduced a new boss to the scientists on the show, and I didn't like her. Even a late-in-show defense of her team didn't sway me into liking her or wanting her to be part of the show. This is going to be a character that's going to take some time for me to warm to.

Matt H. · « **Reply #163 on:** August 30, 2006, 08:35:46 PM »

JUSTICE was a flashy, interesting legal series, but I didn't buy Kerr Smith as a whiz lead defense attorney. It needed someone with a little more substance - a Mark Valley, for example (but he's currently on BOSTON LEGAL). Garber was great, and it was also great to have Eaamon Walker (from OZ) as part of the team. He certainly could be a very charismatic lead defense attorney. Too bad he and Kerr Smith can't switch positions on the team!

Finally got to the DEADWOOD finale. A somewhat quieter episode than the others this season, but there was still enough tension to keep me ill-at-ease as I watched. The fates of some characters and the surprising election results made for a somber end of season finish. One wonders how soon the two made-for-HBO movies will be produced to wind up the series.

Matt H. · « **Reply #165 on:** August 30, 2006, 08:38:29 PM »

I do have NEW FACES cued up in the VCR to watch tomorrow. Haven't seen it in several years.

Oops! Forgot to watch PROJECT RUNWAY. Luckily, this is one show Bravo seems to repeat endlessly during the week between new episodes, so I'll watch it at some point over the next few days.

Now, off to bed. I have a full day of errands and lunch date tomorrow.

Thanks for the warning...I think.

I figure I'll have buyer's remorse the first time I have to make a payment!

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll continue looking for the copy I taped. Who knows...if I find it, the quality might be better than yours and I could send you a better copy.

Hmmmm...I am trying to think of what my favorite Glenn Ford performance is...I remember him in an early Blondie and Dagwood film back from around 1940 and he was even good back then...maybe BLACKBOARD JUNGLE...he was certainly very good in that film.

The Oscars and their Board of Governors are idiots. Stupid, incomprehensible idiots who make Hollywood the low place it's become. Glenn Ford deserved an honorary Oscar, if only for Gilda, The Blackboard Jungle, The Big Heat and his very touching Pa Kent in Superman. Add to that all his other wonderful films (and his westerns with Delmer Daves) and the Academy can take their Oscar statuette and put it up their collective rectal cavities.

I haz spoken.

Did Glen Ford EVER give a bad performance? ? ? ?
He was also very fine in comedy or two - POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES springs to mind.
DEAR HEART against Geraldine Page also provides pleasures.
His Pa Kent is heartbreakingly real.
