Good morning, all! I have a bit of Brain surgery this morning, along with some Victor Herbert items and a lyric question from Life Begins at 8:40. I will stop by Toyland for a bit, head over to the 42nd Street NYPL, and then get back here to do some preventative work. I don't want to come back from Ohio to learn that the bed bugs have returned.

My sister-in-law Jo just sent me this:
A man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit the car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman aproached the cell and opened the door.
She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do?' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally.......I assumed you had stolen the car."

Oh, posh! Anyone who thinks DVD or Blu-ray or HD-DVD is the equivalent of motion picture film is NUTS. Film has four times the resolution of the best HD available right now.
The problem is with exhibition. Many folks in the US must make do with substandard projection, screen, and sound in theaters. (Not every theater is optimally equipped or run.) These things can be controlled better in the home and thus the viewing experience may be more ENJOYABLE in the home even when not equalling the finest quality presentations in theaters well equipped and maintained.

I watched KHARTOUM on DVD a couple of years ago. The biggest disappointment for me with the disc was that the entire frame wasn't represented. I bought the movie especially to have that Ultra-Panavision frame, and it wasn't there.
I also found the film pretty dull.

-
As for "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"...
Yes, many of the inspections are planned weeks, if not months, in advance. Since the building/remodeling of the new homes is on a very strict(!) timetable, that allows the producers of the show to give an exact window of time for the inspections to the proper authorities. -Unlike under "normal" circumstances where an inspection can't be scheduled until the structure is ready - which, under "normal" circumstances, is never on schedule. ;)
On other thing to keep in mind - Just because the house was ready for the on-camera reveal, does not mean it was ready to be moved into immediately after the taping.

Hello, everyone.
You have already posted the AAs I thought of.
-
The imdb and aspect ratios is a joke - never believe what you read there. The Ultra Panavision 70 ratio was and is 2:76 - not many theaters could show it, but some did when these films were originally released. As I said in the notes, the ones that couldn't go quite that wide, settled at 2:54ish. Normal 70mm is 2:20, but Ultra Panavision 70 wasn't normal 70mm. With most 70mm, the image on the negative or prints is not anamorphic - it's printed and shown the way it is, with no anamorphic squeeze as in Cinemascope or Panavision. But Ultra Panavision 70 had a slight squeeze.
-
Oh, and I'm up.

Not so much pain now, unless I wear the wrong shoes. I'm really having this done now as an investment - don't want to spend the next 30 years trying to find shoes that don't hurt my foot. My mom has done that as long as I can remember and it's no fun.

DR Jose, re: DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES.
I did not say it was a spoiler to say something would happen at the end of the season finale.
What i said was a spoiler, was that Teri Hatcher gave away the major rumor/story change. To me that was a huge spoiler. And I guess i just don't get why anyone would want to spoil it for anyone who doesn't like to be spoiled.
-
Thanks, Sing, Jane, and Ginny. I really hadn't considered a For Sale by Owner, but perhaps I should. I had hoped to just delegate it, but my agent has been doing an excellent job of someone else's listing (and neglecting mine). I will interview a few other agents, then decide.

I've just now been watching those MONK episodes that were on NBC.
It is sort of a funny show. I had never seen it before and always wondered why tony shelub (sp?) would win those awards. He is very good! And i sort of like the show (i didn't really think i would). It is interesting how they seem to have famous guest stars each show who have huge parts in that episode.

There are spaceships and ray guns (to a limited extent), but the monsters look jsut like us, so it is SUBDUED to say the least.

I don't understand it, but, then, I never have.

I had time this afternoon to watch the remaining three episodes of THE INVADERS.
The first was a tense story about an alien masquerading as an astronaut. Pretty good story. John Ericson played the alien, and Peter Graves, Strother Martin, and Kent Smith were also in the episode.
-
The second episode had a big guest star cast, too, with Burgess Meredith, Julie Sommers, Edward Asner, and Peggy Lipton. The alien's kidnap David's brother and hold him for ransom. Interesting twist on the usual story.
-
And the final episode involved David stumbling on a list of the "head" aliens established in each of Earth's major countries of power. Ralph Bellamy, Marlyn Mason, and Murray Hamilton were the guests.
-
I did skim though AS THE WORLD TURNS, but no Luke or Noah. They're in tomorrow' show, however, with Col. Mayer!

I was at the river this morning. It got hot while I was there, so now I am recovering from being at the river this morning.
Did you "gather" while you were there? Or was it too hot to gather?

It's an odd Monday.
I don't know why.
Back from lunch.
For the rest of the afternoon, I think I'll be "Swingin' the Jinx Away".

LOL DR Laura.
I have had breakfast and recovered from hiking this morning. I need to stop procrastinating and clean the house before the day is gone.
Better late than never, eh? Most folks clean the house before the day arrives.
That way, the day has no reason to form untoward opinons of your housekeeping.
But it can't have been too bad. If it had been, day would never have stayed very long.

Good Afternoon!
Well... I had a very good time playing auditions for Grey Gardens today. And, as it turned out, I had a very good/interesting time reading for Grey Gardens. The company/producer was short a "reader" for today's auditions, so I got to step in the shoes of Little Edie/Edith/Christine Ebersole/Mary Louise Wilson throughout the course of the afternoon. Consequently/subsequently, not only did I get to play for at least one Tony winner, five Tony nominees, at least one Grammy winner, and a slew of other venerable Ladies of the Theatre, I got to read opposite them too! -And I think I even managed to come up with a semi-decent - albeit sometimes there, sometimes not there - New England accent. -I was born in Boston, ya know. ;)
*And I have to say, having to play for and read opposite Mary Louise Wilson's understudy was quite intimidating.

DR Jennifer - The thing to keep in mind is that the only reason Teri Hatcher was asked that question was because the creator of the show had already mentioned that in a couple of interviews. She was "allowed" to answer that question. She did not give any specifics away. And I don't believe she specified just how far they would go either.
I'm not a regular watcher of the show, but over the course of the past few weeks, there have been a couple of leaks/spoilers coming out ever since it was announced that there would be a definite "end" to "Desperate Housewives" in a few seasons. Now, as to how next season will open, well... Who knows?
**And as much as I know that you like to read the various TV forums - especially "tvwithoutpity" (?) - I, myself, would just stay away from them. Information will always be leaked - intentionally and unintentionally. If you like the show, just watch the show. I would rather have any questions I have answered by watching the next episode, rather than reading a bunch of speculation on a website.

DR JoseSPiano - sounds fascinating! Good for you. :)

So, I got a disgruntled and accusatory e-mail from an Evening Primrose customer. This guy had written me back on 4/29 saying he hadn't received his copy (he pre-ordered on 4/7). Since I'd had not one person say they hadn't gotten theirs (out of over 1000), I was surprised - but that very day I sent him another copy. Today he says he hasn't gotten that one either. I told him I was done sending out copies, and I refunded his money immediately. I also told him rather than writing me snippy e-mails he might want to have a little discussion with both his mail carrier and his local post office, since both copies obviously were either stolen or misplaced by them - IF he's telling the truth. I would by once that a package could be lost or stolen, but twice - not me, I'm afraid. Just doesn't ring true. I probably should have done delivery confirmation on the resent one, then there'd be no not knowing the story.
But, since he hasn't responded to my last e-mails or thanked me for the refund, I'm marking the guy as the problem - I just don't believe two copies to the same person have gone astray, it's that simple.
-
Thanks, Sing, Jane, and Ginny. I really hadn't considered a For Sale by Owner, but perhaps I should. I had hoped to just delegate it, but my agent has been doing an excellent job of someone else's listing (and neglecting mine). I will interview a few other agents, then decide.
Jeanne, you might consider one of those agents who guarantee to sell your hosue in 120 days or they have to pay you some kind of bonus. A friend just got a $1,200.00 gift certificate to Costco because their time ran out. Still, she said, they were far more motivated than her previous agent.

Well, we've avoided what could have been a crisis with my aunt this evening. My mom tried to call her at 4:30 this afternoon, then again just after 8pm, getting no answer. Mom called me and I called my aunt's number, let it ring 30 times, and got no answer. Called my mom back, she called security there at the retirement community, and they checked on my aunt, who was fine. They determined that the phone was working, but we don't know if a) she didn't hear it, or b) was choosing not to answer. Either way, it caused some anxiety that my mother does not need.
Now, I'm going to bed.

;D

Can you say: "HIMBO"?
-Well, maybe more like "Smart Himbo"? ;)
I think.
-
And for a follow-up of sorts to the Glory Days situation...
Fleeting Stage Glory, Savored and Survived (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/19/theater/19glory.html?ref=theater)

I didn't think about this until now (and I did know this), but his name is actually, Armand "Army" Archerd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Archerd).
:)
I thought about it, but since you are nice enough to send me a Dee-Vee-Dee.... :)
-
I don't think anyone has mentioned shlock director Al Adamson.
Only MBarnum and myself...
-
Hmm... A room full of drunk - well at least tipsy - bachelors... Well, that's attractive. :-\
*Although, there is one teetotaler in the group.
-
'night
-
All Aboard.
Yeah I know it doesn't count but for some reason it was the first thing i thought of
Same with me and ANGELA'S ASHES and ANGELS IN AMERICA.
-
I can hear barred owls calling to each other outside the house...
-
Last night I had a lovely dinner with my little French boy and my friend who plays cello with the ASO. We realized that we've been friends for over 30 years, and felt very old, especially when we started comparing knee pain! (His --arthritis, me---stupidity.)
-
Hmm... A personalized Speedo and a suit jacket... Now that's a look! ::)

In one of the most flagrant displays of recent corporate idiocy, eBay today changed its feedback policy so that sellers can not leave negative feedback for buyers. The logic of this totally eludes me. The discussion boards are hot and heavy about this, and some guy who tracks eBay listings says they are down over 30,000 in just the last few hours. Methinks the policy will be quickly changed back.
-
Watched a motion picture on DVD. I'm groggy. I've been catching up on some magazine reading. I am listless, so perhaps I'll make a list.
-
Oh, well, in ninety minutes or so there will be no more posts because everyone will WUSSBURGER.
-
How many minutes did they have to cut for the broadcast?
Looks like it was about 8 minutes.
-
I watched all of the bonus features with THE INVADERS. There's an almost half hour interview with Roy Thinnes, pretty interesting stuff.
The original pilot of "Beachhead" was a little longer and had some extended scenes rather than scenes that were completely deleted. And the closing credits were done differently in the show that aired. Ellen Corby had a little more to do in the original pilot.
-
Oh, there were also three original ABC promos for the show which together only ran about 2 1/2 minutes.
-
Well, I believe after the Weather segment on the news, I shall be heading to bed, so...
Goodnight.
-
I had about an hour left before prime time TV started, so I put in SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW. I've been debating about whether to buy one of the high def versions of the film or be content with the sDVD.
The film is deliberately soft due to all the CGI the actors interact with, and I'm not sure how much difference high def would make with it. I've read a bunch of reviews, but there are conflicting opinions. Some say there isn't much difference. Some say there is a world of difference.
Anyway, the movie is a fun little throwaway experiment that didn't quite work but is still pleasurable to rewatch every once in a while.
-
Hmm... It's currently 51 degrees here in NYC. The high today was only 59 degrees. The overnight low is supposed to be 48 degrees. And tomorrow's high may only get up to 61.
Guess it's a good thing that I haven't packed away my sweaters. ;) :-\ ???
-
I have to say I was not happy with any of the season finales I watched tonight.
BONES
Well, I had read that someone in the lab was leaving, and I guessed weeks ago it'd be Eric Millegen. I will greatly miss his character, and to have him leave in this way seemed rather cruel.
The show was also very "yacky" with everyone sniping at everyone else. One of the few BONES episodes that really wasn't much fun to watch at all.
-
And, once again...
Goodnight.
-
Page Twelve Wicked Witch Dance!!!
-
HOUSE
A definite downer as well. I just had a great feeling of hopelessness while watching the show tonight. The only positive moment was Cuddy tenderly holding House's hand while he and she slept. It wouldn't surprise me if they dated next season.
-
CSI: MIAMI: I believe this will be the last episode of the show I will ever watch.
I was greatly disturbed at last season's finale, and this one trumped it in spades. (Unless they're pulling one of the all-time great hoaxes on me with the Ryan Wolfe character.)
-
Tomorrow I get to begin on RAMBO, Stallone's latest franchise resuscitation.
-
Heading down now to go to bed.
Good night!
-
Last post, 9:09. 9:34 and no one in the jernt - how predictable. And not is a good way.
-
It used to be fun around here at this hour.

I don't think anyone has mentioned shlock director Al Adamson.
Is that what you think??? ::)
-
Nobody here but us chickens.
-
It is a bit of a bore around these here parts late at night.
-
I, for one, am bored senseless by the nothingness after nine-thirty.
-
I think I'm getting sick...I can feel my throat getting sore. :P I started off fine this morning, I had pizza for lunch, all was well, but this afternoon, I could feel something happening in the back of my throat, and it wasn't good. I took some Dimetapp and hopefully it won't develop into something worse, but I don't know if I started it in time.
-
It's too hot to get sick!! :(
-
I need to go to sleep, but I'm hanging on until the day is changed.
;)
-
Even though I don't really have anything else to say. :-\
-
But, what else is new. ::)
;D
-
Gratuitous Post # 349. :)
-
Let's see if I can get us to page 13 before BK changes the day.
-
Tomorrow, my sister's boyfriend Larry and I are going to a Seattle Storm women's basketball game in Seattle.
-
The game starts at 7:00 pm, but we need to leave early enough so that we don't drive through too much traffic.
-
Which means that I need to get to work earlier than I usually do.
-
Which, as often as I plan on doing that, I rarely do get to work earlier than I normally do...
-
...which really isn't that "normal," since my work hours are quite flexible.
-
My job doesn't require that I be in my office at specific times, like the public branches that are open to the public.
-
So, I tend to take advantage of that flexibility.
-
And I have a supervisor that doesn't mind my flexible working hours. I am very accurate with the reporting of my hours on my time sheet, though.
-
Well, it looks like we're almost there...
-
And here we are! Page 13!
-
Well, I hate to do this, but I really need to...I'm going to bed. Good night, BK and any guests. 8)
