How did it come to pass that in just twenty years' time every single one of them is gone - not one movie theater ON B'way in Times Square, where once, during its heyday, there were probably thirty.
And the word of the day is: FUGACIOUS!As in the story, "The Randy Vicar and the Fugacious Fig Leaf," of course!
Hello, everyone! My name's June; what's yours?
...We ate lunch in Chelsea, then had a private tour of the Masonic Temple. So many rooms, each more magnificent than the one before! Jayson got to play many of the organs [each room has its own]....
Jose - I was thinking about the roulade table, but never the roulette table.
I have tried many times, DR Jose, to listen to PASSING STRANGE. I have yet to finish it. Perhaps it'll be one of those cds that sits on my shelf just like MARIE CHRISTINE and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN - actually I've made it the whole way through the latter.

And as for Marie Christine, I don't even know where my copy is. And since Virgin puts shelving dates on their inventory, I can tell they've had the same copy in the bins for at least three years.
I hope all of the DRs who were feeling poorly over the past couple of days will be better today. Being sick is SUCH a drag.
I'm feeling ever so much better, thanks.

DVD - Mandingo

Now, my question is. . .
IF MANDINGO can be released on dvd, w t f can't SONG OF THE SOUTH? ? ?
Seriously? No posts in the past 30 minutes?
Glad someone got their book and bonus gift! Now, will Jrand be the first to read?

Hello from extremely sunny southern Oregon. We spent yesterday at Crater Lake, which was magnificent. The info we were sent on this locale warned us about the "harmless" midge insects which infest this territory in the summer. They unfortunately did not tell us about the swarming mosquitos which have eaten us alive, or, sadly, the migrating monarch butterfly population which has largely met its fate on the front of every car we've seen down here.
I think this is a far more modest shot than we might get if the top weren't down.
Or was that the actual point? ;D
GEORGE,
Re: the lost parking ticket. That happened to me once, too. They are very easy to lose. My car has a little thingy near the radio/CD player that I think was intended for a pen, but it works perfectly for holding my parking ticket while I'm in the car. That works out well for me. I did eventually find the lost parking ticket; it was under the driver's seat--and I had looked there, too! When I drop things in the car they usually fall between the consol and the driver's seat; I know that know from experience! I also have a secure spot in my purse for such items. Again, not foolproof, but a help.
TOD (sorta): I watched two trees being delivered to my backyard.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I guess you did have a response - or two - to that. ;)
Ben, you are too nice a guy to have to deal with poopy people. (((((Ben)))))
Now I'm drinking a bottle of water. Did you know that since I wrote about Safeway sparkling flavored water and my favorite being cherry, that Von's is now always out of cherry, and always low on the other flavors. Ah, the power of haineshisway.com
Hmm... I guess there's an echo in the O'Hare terminal today. :)
It's bad enough to be feeling poorly, but the aggravation factor of the last two jerk singers who seem either incapable or unwilling to pay for the work I've done have me thoroughly enraged: Tomorrow is four weeks after the Daniel Rodriguez concert and I'm still waiting for payment for the work I did for the concert, which was turned in four weeks before that. Kip Wilborn has neither responded nor acknowledged that he's received my invoice for the last job, and I'm getting really pissed really fast.
This is not a good day.
I do want him to succeed, and I know I'll be thrilled for him if he manages to do a sweep, but I also feel strongly that if his teammates, who hold current records in the coming events, beat him out for the Gold then it's a good thing, too.
I"m actually conflicted about this too. I mean Phelps is fantasticly good. But a couple of those other guys could definitely beat him.
I am curious though what the reaction would be in the US. I sort of feel like most people would be disappointed if one of the others won.
I'm still waiting for our first medal period! (i am confident for rowing, diving, maybe 1500m swimming or cycling!
The U.S. media is WAY too overboard in emphasizing his potential of winning 8 golds. If he doesn't, there will be a huge letdown, I'm sure of it, and it won't be his fault. It's happened before as the media tries to pump up interest by proclaimin "potential". In many cases, it's just not there and the athletes suffer from the attention that is suddenly thrust upon them.

Btw, re: MattH's comments about CAMP ROCK. It changes my opinion to know you really liked the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICALS (i had originally thought that you just thought they were done better). I didn't mean to discount your opinions (since i really cannot stand when people think their opinion is the only one that is right).
I do still think that it probably hit the mark for the tweens and teens who love the jonas brothers. I know my 13 year old niece loves them (the jonas brothers) and the movie.
In honor of this being the 60th anniversary of India's independence from Britain, a Bollywood subtitle is necessary.

I have a question re: BK and others trying to lose weight.
But i'm wondering if eating out can make it a lot harder to lose weight since you don't really know what they are putting into what you are eating.

I find myself in mini-quandary about the Olympics.
I'm where I was 36 years ago when Mark Spitz was going for an unprecedented 7 Gold Medals. At thrilling as the accomplishment would be for anyone, it seemed to be all that anyone could talk about...and that always seemed to be at the expense of other fine athletes.
That Michael Phelps has now won as many Gold Medals as he has in two Olympics Games is astounding. He is the all-time medals champion in winning Gold Medals.
I do want him to succeed, and I know I'll be thrilled for him if he manages to do a sweep, but I also feel strongly that if his teammates, who hold current records in the coming events, beat him out for the Gold then it's a good thing, too.
Larry - I guess Michael Domitrovich should just be glad you weren't the critic writing for Variety or Theatermania, then. :) :)
THE FALL (mentioned by a couple of DRs here on HHW) started it's run at Salem Cinema today. I may go and see it this weekend...it is air conditioned and my house is not...and it will be in the 100s today and tomorrow.
DR elmore - Don't go. I know you want to spend time with your friend, Matthew, but if you happen to get caught in the rain, and you end "bringing back" whatever "puny-ness" you were dealing with over the past few days, well... I'm sure he'll understand. And it sounds like you just need a nice, quiet night at home. Relaxing. As much as you can.
You should stay home DR Elmore. Besides you probably have some video tapes to catch up on.
I have fallen in love with this 1960s Bollywood poster....and now it is mine, all mine...or will be as soon as it arrives from India. ;D ;D

By the way Elmore and JoseP, Mr. John Abraham is filming a Bollywood movie in New York City currently...just so you know!
Umm... Thanks. But I actually already knew that since I think he's supposed to do a personal appearance event at the Times Square E-Walk - the theatre you went to. -And that a friend of mine is organizing. :)
I followed your excellent advice and cancelled. Matthew didn't sound happy, though. I'll take him to a trashy movie next week.
Aaaak! And you didn't tell me this information!
'night!

My DMIL is "as well as can be expected" & we are to be patient. That tells us a lot. At least she is out of ICU & in the next level down of care. The hospital & staff have been fantastic.
Remember HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE? I'm thinking that there should be a TD AND MBARNUM GO BOLLYWOOD. . .
I think that DR MBarnum should come to NYC for a certain benefit concert the esteemed BK is setting up. . .
Maybe DR Jose could talk John Abraham into being a back up dancer for "Turkey Lurkey Time."
Hmm... I'm just trying to imagine you and DR MBarnum in the same "altered state" that Harold and Kumar were in. ;)
In the last week alone, I have received over 20 Christmas catalogues. I was off those lists for a long time. Very hard to get excited about Christmas when it is still August and in the 100's!!!! :P
I got my book! I got my book! And a free bonus gift! I am thrilled! ;D :-* :)
bk - I think it could be quite the eye-opening "experiment" for you if you headed to a supermarket one day - when it's not too busy - and walked up and down each aisle and took notice of what was on the shelves now. I have a feeling you may find some new favorites, as well as discover some old ones that have been repackaged for "today's consumers".
I liked THE FALL very much. I wanted to go back and see it again with my DH, but it left town before we had the chance.
See it quick, just in case!
Pull ur pants up!You'd be screaming if you had to shave under your arms, too!

Ours, too, arrived - and tho the envelope was a bit soggy from the thunderstorm, the contents were safe.

Shall we reveal what the lovely bonus gift is?
Hmm... I guess there's an echo in the O'Hare terminal today. :)
Never mind, Cilla, I found the invoice by searching the date. It'll be on its way priority in the morning and you should have it Monday or Tuesday.
I've had a CLOSER week from hell. I'm now going to go home and have a nice glass of wine...
Anti-hell vibes to Edi
Then Steve and I will be heading down to Charlottesville for the afternoon and evening. The Richmond Men's Chorus is having their summer retreat - a.k.a. winery tour and barbecue - and I shall be tagging along for the festivities. And it looks like it should be a very nice weather-wise too.
...and the windows and doors are open to cool down the house. Delightful!
It'll be on DVD next month (http://www.amazon.com/Fall-Catinca-Untaru/dp/B001BPJJ9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1218848631&sr=1-1)!

I would still try to see it on a big screen. The images are so beautiful it would be hard to get the full impact on a tv screen. (Well, maybe on bk's tv screen...)
Hard to believe since it's such a heavenly show. ;)
BTW, I despised the moronic critical comments on the show in this week's EW. Very unfair to the show and ridiculous amount of praise for the overheated, irritating SAVING GRACE.
And my 50-inch TV ain't no slouch, neither!
;D
My DMIL is "as well as can be expected" & we are to be patient. That tells us a lot.
... I was reminded that back when these shows were filmed there were usually two gas stations on every corner of every street in the Valley. Now you're lucky if you can find one within a mile on a major street, sometimes two miles.
I forgot to post...I got my copy of "Murder at the Grove" and the sparkling prize!! ;D
.. I guess others have read already that Warners is postponing the release of HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE from November to next summer. Seems they didn't have anything BIG ready for next summer to match their big guns from this summer, so POTTER gets moved.
A naked Harry Potter has scared off the movie "Harry Potter."
Warner Bros. has announced moving its sixth Potter film, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," from Nov. 21, 2008, to July 17, 2009. The reason? Officially, there is no reason, except that "a spot opened on the summer schedule."
That's not much of a reason. The real story? Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe will be right in the middle of his sensational, highly publicized run on Broadway in the play, "Equus." Radcliffe appears naked in the play, on stage, and has sex in it as well. That's not the image Warner Bros. wants associated with bespectacled Harry, who remains chaste and virginal.
Indeed, posters for Equus are up all over New York, of Radcliffe's naked torso superimposed on a horse's head. This is not the sort of thing that's taught at Hogwarts. For the movie to open on Nov. 21, Radcliffe would have to do publicity entailing answering questions about blinding horses and having sex with them vs. flying around and making potions.
Warner Bros. does not want this scenario. By the time "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" debuts, "Equus" will either have concluded its run or Radcliffe will have completed his contract. And there will be little mention of any horsing around.
