Post by: elmore3003 on February 16, 2013, 03:38:59 AM: Good morning, all! I was awake at 4:30am, going through a ROBERTA anxiety attack - are six sessions enough? how many numbers are in the stage band? - then I nodded and dozed until 6:15 and figured what the hell, so I am up and on my first cup of coffee.

Today is an apartment day: laundry, clean the apartment, put away all the 2012 tax crap, mop and vacuum. When all of that's over, I can watch the rest of ANNA KARENINA and maybe begin the BBC version of HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY. I like the John Ford movie, but it's not very faithful to the actual novel. I guess MGM figured after all of the constant turmoil and tragedy in the book, and it's a loooong book!, that at least Maureen O'Hara's character needed a happy ending. Doesn't she end up with Walter Pigeon's character? In the novel, they miserably go separate ways.

DR Vixmom, between my eyes and your typing, I read that you were taking your body to the van shop. If it works for you, I'm taking mine in.

At this moment I have nothing else to report.

Post by: ChasSmith on February 16, 2013, 06:24:40 AM: I tell you, there is nothing like the return to Wellsville. Catching a cold always seems like the end of the world, and you just have to get through those first couple of days of misery. But as soon as you see the light at the end of the tunnel, even the orchestra is beautiful.

I actually envy BK all the chicken soup he's had this week. I should try to find someplace around here that serves a good one. Either that or learn how to make it myself at this tender age.

And what, I ask you, could be better than patty melts and grilled cheese sandwiches, with soup?
Title: Re: THE ROAD TO WELLSVILLE
Post by: ChasSmith on February 16, 2013, 06:31:21 AM: For this TOD I'm going to have to open up Mr. Ford's filmography to check all the titles, because there will be many I won't think of. Meaning, I have no problem with any Ford movie I've seen, but after all these years, unlike with many directors, I have yet to acquire a "vision" of what makes a John Ford film a John Ford film. I really don't know what his identifying mark is. I suppose exceptions are John Wayne films shot in Monument Valley, and such, but that doesn't account for the obvious wealth of his output.

Post by: ChasSmith on February 16, 2013, 06:34:24 AM: What the HELL -- we still haven't gotten up to FIVE (count'em) click-on-star ratings???

I do think what vixmom reported is what I had to do, too -- go through and rate the individual episodes and then you can rate the main page. That seems a little weird. I just tried it with a couple of regular TV series that I've never "rated" and was able to rate the main page with no problem.

I know that most folks think that THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE is the greatest thing since chopped liver, but I've always felt it was a turkey; ineptly directed.

The only thing really memorable about it, aside from the pairing of Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne, both of whom were too old for their roles, is the "final" line: (paraphrasing) "When the facts and legend conflict, print the legend."

I do not understand what people see in this film.

I've only posted a couple of things on IMDb, ever, and always forget about the "approval" requirement. Which is a joke, when you consider the meaningless crap that litters that board. Although, I guess I'm thinking more of the message board sections than the user comments on the main pages.

Vibes of comfort for elmore on this anniversary. It is always tougher when the anniversary is near a holiday. My Mom was killed on the Sunday before Martin Luther King's birthday. The actual holiday changes date year to year, but the holiday always brings back memories.

Ditto on the vibes.

I will always remember I spent Memorial Day & our anniversary in Los Angeles when my mother passed away. At the time I figured it was good I was able to fly out before the Memorial Day weekend or I might not have been able to get a ticket.

Thank you and I will likely do once a year, at least for a number of years. There is a newer treatment my insurance would not cover which medicare will. What I do next year will depend on the text results from this treatment.

Supposedly the side effects are reduced each time. I've read where that isn't always true. I shall hope in my case it is.

I'm thankful the vegan food Craig cooked tasted and looked far better than what they were cooking.

I got a kick of the addition to the soy milk. Craig made delicious foods with it, or with almond milk, but I still can't drink the stuff plain.

DR Cilla I'm glad your being at the funeral was truly appreciated, and you got to enjoy Dash.

I am so glad I decided to cancel the trip. I never would have had time to get my Drood ticket in the mail if I had waited

Post by: Cillaliz on February 16, 2013, 07:06:04 PM: The timing is also perfect because I am planning to take Thursday and Friday off to do a major deep cleaning of the house. I'm going to go through closets and drawers and toss things and donate things etc.... I am actually looking forward to it.

It appears that Mae-Ling Goldstein has quite a crush on Brent Barrett.

I guess it's better she learn at a young age about heartbreak and frustration.
I was going to compliment Mae-Ling on her taste and leave it at that. But I love your 19th century novelist take on the matter.

My favorite actress loks like she;s bringing her big balls to this production of CINDERELLA. This is the ugliest costume I've seen in some time.

I didn't understand about the dress until I scrolled farther down on the photo ;D

When I did a search for "fairy godmother costume" images on Bing, I got a lot of strange outfits, but I really think this was the weirdest.

Getting ready to braise some oxtail for dinner.

where does one get an oxtail? I have never seen one in the grocery store

I grew up eating oxtail stew. After we were married I attempted to make it, put way too much barely in not understanding how barely expands. ;D

started a big pot of stew today, which I will finish tomorrow. No barley in mine, but it does contain lots and lots of beef! Sorry Jane.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 16, 2013, 08:56:29 PM: I've now watched the 2nd half of the BBC ANNA KARENINAwith Helen McCrory. Good cast, expecially the Lenin and Kitty. I love how their situation improves as Anna's goes to hell. I thought there were too many dark scenes where I had no idea who the caracters were, and the score stank. The period music was lovely but the dramatic score sucked bih yime. Yjrtr was a BBC VANITY FAIR around the same time as this that also had a puytid musical score that took me out of Becky Sharp's machinations every time music began. I felt the same about this.

Viewing this has only whetted my desire to get back to the book. I delt lie I was watching scens from the novel but not the connective tissue,

Post by: John G. on February 16, 2013, 08:59:59 PM: In the end, that version of Anna Karenina didn't cut it for me. Anna's story is not a simple case of adultery and too much of what makes the novel great never made it to the screen. But I liked the Kitty and Levin story.

BLOCK MY BLOCK is the name of my new romance novel!
