The third one felt so different from the first that I hardly think of it as a sequel, but as I recall, I liked it better than the second one.

If that works out OK, that'll be my way of watching the second season of the show. After watching the first season on regular AMC last year and then reviewing the first season one Blu-ray and reveling in the period trappings in high def, I really don't want to go back to a SD presentation of this show.

Post by: Matt H. on August 03, 2008, 07:30:59 AM: Coming up tomorrow on TCM is THE HOLLYWOOD REVUE OF 1929. A dear friend who had the laserdisc of this movie made me a VHS of it years ago, and I have practically worn it out. I am so excited to finally be able to burn a copy of the movie onto a DVD from a digital broadcast which should make the copy the best possible.

Warners has made no announcement of any intention of ever releasing this ancient relic of early sound cinema, so I'm very eager to get as good a copy as I can.

Yes, the clips featuring Joan Crawford, John Gilbert and Norma Shearer, the "Singing' in the Rain" number (it was written for this movie) seem to get excerpted quite a bit in other documentaries and programs.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the movie is in good enough shape to make a decent recording.

Post by: elmore3003 on August 03, 2008, 09:09:35 AM: Good morning, all! I'm feeling puny today so I'm staying in. I have a few computer things to accomplish with The Lady Of The Slipper but I'm fighting an urge to rteturn to bed and not climb out of it today.

DR MattH, I wsh to hell PSYCH was on before MONK because the past three episodes have convnced me the writers are idiots and that the show has jumped the shark one too many times. I expect more from a mystery or a comedy than the following:
1. three weeks ago he bought a house
2. two weels ago he has no money to pay Natalie; how the hell could he afford to buy a house with worse cash flow that mine?
3. last week the continually ugly egocentrism of both Adrian and Natalie seemed totally out of character, Randy was more repellent than usual and the whole episode seemed to negate any likeable traits from anyone except Greg Jbara. I think the series is an embarassment.

Speaking of embarassments, does anyone really - I mean REALLY - watch the Holly Hunter series or IN PLAIN SIGHT? If TNT isn't careful, they'll kill THE CLOSER by piling so many bad things onto its back.

Well, I'm crabby today.

Title: Re:THE RECURRING THEME
Post by: JoseSPiano on August 03, 2008, 09:19:24 AM: And, yes, I did make blueberry pancakes. I was in the mood for a "real" breakfast. I was going to head out to eat, but since I needed to do a bit of grocery shopping, I decided to head to the market, and see what happened to catch my eye. Well, they weren't selling blueberry pancakes, but I did happen to see a box of Bisquick, so... :)

*I also happened to hit a good sale week - at least for the stuff I wanted to buy. My grand total at the cash register was $14.36. However, if I had not used my club card to take advantage of the special sales, I would have paid $32! Now that's a bargain!

**And I already had the blueberries here at home. And the maple syrup as well. :)

Gotcha. Apparently, there was some bug going around last week. Lots of people with flu-like symptoms and stomach issues. I was healthy, but happened to touch base with a few friends over the past few days, and found that that was the reason they were incommunicado last week. I hope you feel better as the day goes on.

I'm not sure if this will start with the second batch of CLOSER shows (the first batch will air thru Sept. 15) but eventually, when TNT rolls out its new shows, Grace will move to a different night than THEN CLOSER and they will use both shows to help launch some of their new original series.

Title: Re:THE RECURRING THEME
Post by: Edisaurus on August 03, 2008, 10:40:54 AM: We were down south of Atlanta yesterday, celebrating Greg's sisters' birthday. We brought a cake from the French bakery---strawberry with butter cream frosting---so I will be making amends all week for that!

On the way home,the sky was black, and we saw several lines where high winds went through and leveled trees. We had to come through downtown Atlanta because of road constriction on the highway, and there were lights out everywhere and lots of trees and big branches down. One fell across our street, knocking out power to our 81 year old neighbor (it was her birthday, too!) so we spent most of the evening dealing with that. Since the power line was live, there wasn't much we could do.

We were able to reunite a lost Jack Russell with its owner, and met some neighbors we didn't know, so that was the good part of the evening.

Post by: Edisaurus on August 03, 2008, 10:55:28 AM: As for her power---it's still out, and since she's the only one in the neighborhood that we know of to have a problem, it may be a few days before it's fixed. There were 150,000 homes without power yesterday, and driving down through town, all of the people who had been dining, etc. were out on the streets waiting for the power to come back on.

Greg Haley, who owns this home with Gelix Kuemmerli on Ormwood Ave. SE, picks his way through the rubble Sunday morning. A violent thunderstorm raced through their Grant Park neighborhood Saturday evening and sent a more than 100-year-old oak tree into their 1917 historic home. The tree punctured the house, and daylight could be seen in the living room.

Post by: Matt H. on August 03, 2008, 12:59:40 PM: DR Elmore,

Both SAVING GRACE and IN PLAIN SIGHT do very, very well in the ratings. Not as well as THE CLOSER, of course, but certainly they do nicely. I stopped watching SAVING GRACE last year about 7 episodes in. As much as I loved both Joel and Ken as her boy friends/lovers, I just couldn't stand her character, and the religious material running through it was also a turn-off.

IN PLAIN SIGHT just didn't have enough of a mystery for me, and I really hated the sister and mother characters.

It is virtually impossible to tell who the mole is since so many of them are sabotaging things and pretending to be the mole. But i would be most surprised if mark was the mole. He has been getting things right that he shouldn't have. ANd i just don't see the mole getting more things right than a normal person would (example when mark was on the bike and answering all the questions even though he could not see them) (or mark answering so many of the questions when they all had to run around in groups last week or the week before. for example clay got a simple answer wrong and mark corrected him. if mark was the mole to me he would have just let clay guess wrong).
i actually sort of thought it was paul. But i am convinced it must be craig now. jfdjd l;jsafl;sa fjflajfl jdfsafj ld;jsafsafl;jsa f;l; jkll;j l

Inside is says "Genuine Leather Buftex Process" and the size is 7 5/8s. It still has the original store price tag on it so I am guessing it was never worn. It is a bit too big for my head, but it was only 99 cents...good Ebay item.

Just 99 cents each!!! They were amongst the Halloween items at Value Village thrift store...sold them all on ebay which paid for my trip to Los Angeles and my wide screen tv!

Well, you don't go anywhere without your cell phone. Usually I sit around and wait, but this has gone on for days, and you can't just sit for days. On the other hand, if the jury has a question, and we've had 3 so far, you have to drop whatever you are doing and go meet with the other lawyer, the judge and the defendant at the courthouse to see if it is something that can be answered or if the answer is to refer to the jury instructions. (that's the answer most of the time) you can't comment on the evidence in anyway, so most questions can't be answered.

I don't have anything scheduled for tomorrow (that I know of) and Edith will be on vacation, so I will probably just stay at the office, go through all my other cases and figure out where I am and what needs to be done next. I have lots of office work I can do. It's very hard to do nothing, but hard to concentrate too...

I'm debating if I'm going to continue this roman a clef I've been reading, QUICKSILVER, from 1942. It's a thinly-disguised, very very long novel about a tour of ROMEO AND JULIET by Katharine Cornell. It's a veddy theatrical and an interesting look at Broadway around 1939 with a lot of oblique comments such as Evelyn, the Cornell character, wearing mannish clothing, the director (Guthrie McClintoc) having a "musical" vocie, a character based on Tyrone Power (I think) being "bohemian" or "decadent." Much as I want to like it, I don't very much. It's like a Nancy Drew book for adults, and those roadsters and teashops got old fast when I was younger.

I'm about four chapters in and I keep wondering why the young actor is so hung up on the Park Avenue girl with the fortune and intense anti-semitic attitude. Much as I wonder why, I find I'm not sure I want to learn the answer. If there is one. I've read much better backstagers.

A user on the forum where I work wanted someone to try watching it on a Samsung 1500, and since I have that Blu-ray player, I helped him out by trying it. He couldn't get his to play, but mine played like a champ.

I hadn't watched this movie in years (since it first came out), so it was nice to revisit. Lots of famous voice actors: Michael J. Fox, James Garner, sounds like Selma Diamond and Jodie Foster, but I didn't check the credits to be sure.

The woman across the street had her power line hit but only the neutral was disconnected, so everything in her fridge is probably OK. She was out of town, so I called her to left her know what happened and see if she needed any immediate help. She came home tonight and siad she had power but no A/C. And she was quite shocked to see her front yard covered by tree parts.

The neighbor next to her had a big branch come through her roof and bathroom ceiling.

We didn't have that model, but we did have something similar...it was a white plastic radio with the vertical columns (for lack of a better word) but I don't remember if it had the silver tone panel at the top or if it was all white. I think I had that in my bedroom for several years. :)

I was just curious if these shows can easily be viewed on their own, out of order.

Most of the episodes are self-contained, but they sometimes do overlap. If they do, you can still watch the individual episodes, but you probably won't miss what you don't know.

I'm going to see it again because I bought "Knocked Up" at Costco (it was very inexpensive) and it came with a code to be able to get a free ticket for "Mamma Mia!" I didn't use it yesterday because my sister paid for my ticket because her boyfriend and I were supposed to put up a ceiling fan on her second floor, which we didn't do, yet. It just got a little too complicated. I think we'll be able to finish it...I think. If not, my parents hired a guy they know to put up their ceiling fan.

I also burned a DVD of "DW" for Vixmom. :) After that, I watched a documentary (and burned a DVD of) "Djangomania!," about...guess what...Django Reinhardt! It was on the Sundance Channel, but originally from Canada.

He's very nice to look at, but I've never been specifically interested in his music (although, I've always liked what I heard). I think I was more interested in the "unplugged" idea of the show but he really is a good performer...and nice to look at. ;)

Post by: George on August 03, 2008, 10:22:26 PM: Then I burned a DVD of "June Moon" (with Jack Cassidy and Stephen Sondheim, himself!) from the videotape that I bought (I bought it new a few years ago, so it's in great shape). And finally I burned a DVD of my VHS copy (taped from TV in 1993) of Romance/Romance. The video and audio quality isn't great, but definitely good enough for me. :)

Post by: George on August 03, 2008, 10:29:01 PM: And finally...I still need to make chapter breaks for the Sally Ann Howes version of A Little Night Music, but that'll have to wait. I don't want to stay up late tonight. My parents are getting new flooring in their front living room on Wednesday, but they want to get all the furniture out of the room and pull up all the carpet tomorrow. We're all going over there and I need to be there between 4:00 and 4:30 pm (or so). I usually work until 7:00 pm (or so) and I don't have a lot of vacation, so I need to get to bed VERY EARLY tonight so that I can get up VERY EARLY tomorrow to get in all my time at work so that I can leave in time to be at my parents' house to help.

"Good night, now." ;)
