One of my favorite Nick Redman projects is the STATE FAIR cd release that included the original 1945 film AND what was left of the recordings from the 1962 film....
I have the DOT LP release of the latter, but not all of those songs seem to be on the CD release....and that's too bad....still lots of fun. It still seems to be available from some Amazon sellers at a high price....but not a premium price.
Who owns the old DOT catalog now? I know there was a Gale Storm release from VS....
Most entertaining and informative notes.
I of course think that MR BK should go anyway, but that's just me.
And the word of the day is: PROSOPAGNOSIA!
Smoke on your pipe and put that in.
TOD:Sounds great.

We have just had some torrential rain and I have, reluctantly, canceled the lovely outing we had planned for tomorrow.

Has anybody here tried green coffee? It's supposedly the latest craze.
I’ve often thought obsessive Blu-ray collectors are a bit eccentric to say the least but eccentricity has reached new extremes on reading complaints on a Blu-ray forum about a forthcoming release. A film which has a cultish following has been eagerly awaited by some people on the forum but as soon as the distributor announced that the film was being paired with another film, as a double bill, there were huge cries of rage. Instead of seeing the accompanying film as a bonus (to watch or not watch) it was seen as some sort of ugly barnacle attached to their favorite film and such a thing shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Their beloved film should be released on its own - not besmirched by anything else. This resulted in the inevitable “No sale” comment. Understandably, the distributor commented “Sometimes I don't know why we even bother”.

I am curious about which film this is! Would you enlighten, please? :)

It's THE HOT SPOT (1990) Ron.
I've got a slew of Blu ray discs that need watching.
Anyone else finding themselves behind the BD-watching eight-ball?

And it's way past time that Warner/Turner delivered a Blu ray of "The Band Wagon". I mean, "come on"!My all-time favorite movie, along with the Japanese "Shall We Dance," "Smiles of a Summer Night" and "Hairspray."

WTF? Some people (a Sondheim reference) just don't know how to be grateful. :P
Of course, I'm still waiting for "At Long Last Love."
I called the vixter to translate
The scene where he was supposed to feel over a character who had been murdered was so bad that quite a few of us in the theater laughed out loud.
the vixter was on the floor hysterical laughing while I told the man about the little box with a rainbow and a a picture of Saturn were flashing blue
We have just had some torrential rain and I have, reluctantly, canceled the lovely outing we had planned for tomorrow.
Stay high and dry, Ginny!

For DR Laura:
This was not only the carpet inside the casino, but outside the casino and down the passageway.
One of my favorite shows -- "Person of Interest" -- had it's second season finale last night. Quite an episode, too.
Regarding discussion earlier this week about shows with tiresome characters (that's the way I interpreted it), I love "Person of Interest" but I'm really "over" the character played by Amy Acker. She's been recurring this season and escaped last night's seaso finale to suggest a return in season three.
Acker is always portraying a warped, psychotic or "unusual" person in her TV appearances.
yes lots of rain yesterday and today....but the sun is shining now.
We recently found the marriage information for our paternal grandparents....Willie Arthur Earles and Bertha Bell.....they were married February 2, 1909, by Judge Beatty Cecil in Huntsville, Scott County, Tennessee.
Willie had met my grandmother's cousin Minnie Bell when they were both at Middlesburg Teacher's College in 1905, and Minnie had done a little matchmaking.....and Willie's dad didn't want them to be married since Willie had started teaching back home in Casey County Kentucky, and teachers - even males - had to be unmarried. But I guess Willie took the train down the Huntsville, and he and Bertha talked it over with her parents and then got married.....

I changed the title of the notes to The Real History of Varese Sarabande, because someone suggested that the other title might lead people to believe that mine was the revisionist history, when in fact it's the opposite.
And it's way past time that Warner/Turner delivered a Blu ray of "The Band Wagon". I mean, "come on"!My all-time favorite movie, along with the Japanese "Shall We Dance," "Smiles of a Summer Night" and "Hairspray."
Good night!

THE BAND WAGON?
I think we do have a photobucket account. I also recomment tinypic - very easy to use and free.
DR TCB are you suffering from jetlag?

I'm sorry, John, that sounded rude. Actually one of my Top Ten Favorite Movies is DAMN YANKEES. I suppose a lot of people would laugh at that.

I have several and one that just arrived here at work a few minutes ago: "Strictly Ballroom"! I love this movie. :D
I'll have to watch it later tonight, though...I have a union meetin'.
That's a big change. He needs to get back to the paso doble.

That reminded me of the incredibly gorgeous, Paul Mercurio. So, I looked him up. Apparently, he has been spending more time judging brewery competitions and less time dancing.

A book on my library wish list showed available to check out. I went to my Nook to borrow and download and it was already gone. That was fast! I have 2 books already checked out so I'm ok though my plan was to read this book before the other ones.
I am OUTRAGED!!!!
I have just learned that "Killing Me Softly is FINALLY being released on BluRay and some MORON decided to cheapen its release by pairing it with "The Hot Spot"
Or ANY BluRay release for that matter
I am trying to play straight man for you, but you are too quick.
TCB was Copenhagen wonderful wonderful?
I am so sorry to hear that nobody from the airline would assist you ?
Just started watching ParaNorman. Dead Grandma in the movie is voiced by Elaine Stritch.
Yup. One of those animated movies. It's about a bullied kid who sees dead people.

Well Time Warner is down and they haven't a clue as to when it might be bak. Brilliant. Of course before that reality I had a guy trying to tell me everything was fine on their end and it was my modem. Yeah sure. So notes may be very brief this evening if they don't fix the problem before midnight as I will have to write on my iPad
ParaNorman is cute. Not great, but I loved the line when the zombies are about to attack and the school history teacher yells to the crowd, "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war." But the crowd doesn't understand what she's saying, so she yells, "Let's rip 'em to shreds!"
Getting up tomorrow morning to see THE VIKINGS (1958) at the wonderful Lafayette Theatre.
But... "We welcome members of "The Fellowship of Vikings, Berserkers & Barbarians" to the Lafayette for this week's show!"
Now, as far as I can recall, I've never seen THE VIKINGS. Nor have I seen members of "The Fellowship of Vikings, Berserkers & Barbarians".
Should I be afraid?
