"The Sound of Music" (on NBC) was also only released on DVD and I would assume that "Peter Pan" will be, too.  Larry (my sister's boyfriend) has already made a Blu-ray of "TSoM" for me.

And then TCM wrote:

And what extras did Larry put on the Blu-ray?

And my answer is:  nothing...no extras.  I wouldn't know what extras to put on it.

"The Nance," however, had an eight-or-so-minute interview with the Jack O'Brien (the director), Douglas Carter Beane (the author), and Nathan Lane (the star).  PBS's website had the full-length 48-minute interview.  I was able to capture the 48-minute version and Larry said that he should be able to add that to the Blu-ray. :)

Watched a highly enjoyable, stylistically movie called "Blues in the Night" far too late last night. Yes, the great Mercer-Arlen song is in it, along with "This Time the Dream's on Me," but it's the combination of musical and film noir that makes it so fascinating to watch. You never know when someone's going to go dancing across a giant keyboard only to fall into an abyss or something equally arresting. It may not work entirely, but it's tight and moves fast. Also, a great cast of character actors, such as Howard Da Silva, Elia Kazan, Jack Carson and Lloyd Nolan, appear in it.

I recently bought a new tv for the bedroom and been exploring a lot with online apps watching movies and tv shows. I then bought an inexpensive blu-ray player and the images that come forth from them are remarkable.

Then I put on a some episodes of Babylon 5 and was shocked at how bad the quality of the transfer was. What looked on an older tv set and player looked terrible. It was grainy, out of focused, colors were terrible I couldn't believe the poor quality I was watching especially that this was the first tv series to use CGI for its special visual effects,

I went to bed around 8:30 last night and slept until 7:00 this morning. I am now heading down to Toyland.  Yesterday was a busy day, and I hope I did not give DR Ginny and Richard any of the gunk that's been knocking me over for the past week.

I'm happy to hear that most of the NYC-bound travelers have arrived.

My computer and Time Warner are heading for a collision. I ythink it's this new modem that's defective, but about every 30 minutes i lose my internet connection and I have to unplug the modem and reboot. I've bitched to Time warner, had two servicemen here who claim the cable is good, but neither has proposed replacing this new modem.  If I were a drinker, i'd be dead from cirrhosis.

We spent a very productive couple of hours right here in our neighborhood.  We walked 3 blocks down Columbus to the subway where we each bought a MetroCard, then across to Century 21, where I bought new gloves for Richard and a new purple watch for myself.  Apple no longer carries the earbuds Richard wants, but we checked out the iPhone 6 and 6+.  We need to go to BestBuy for the earbuds.  Another Duane Reede stop for shampoo and some chips and sparkling water and now we're home finishing our Artie's leftovers.  We'll probably chill here until it's time to catch an M7 bus down to City Center.

I <heart> New York!

Back from a long walk.  I took the subway to Prince Street to go to the Taschen (sp?) Book store to see their new book of photos of Barbra S.  You know - the one that costs $750.  It is spectacular but $750?  I then took a leisurely walk down Broadway (to 47th Street) with a detour to Strand Books--- what a place !  It was a nice walk on the brisk weather.

My route took me through some of the slowest traffic in the NJ/NY area ever, but the sights were so beautiful, with the late afternoon sun catching the remaining foliage around I-78 in NJ and all along the Henry Hudson and Saw Mill Parkways just right, that I was grateful for the slow pace.

Later, it got really aggravating with slowdowns everywhere for all the usual sorts of insane reasons, but I made it back, just about exactly 24 hours later than my originally planned arrival.  Oy!

DR JENNIFER - IMDB has a parent's advisory page for most movies.  Here is the one for MALEFICENT.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1587310/parentalguide

Thanks. I watched it today with my 9 year old niece.  I actually did not really like the movie.  There is nothing that a kid her age would not be able to watch. The movie just wasn't that interesting.  She thought it was so-so. I thought it was sort of boring.

"The Nance," however, had an eight-or-so-minute interview with the Jack O'Brien (the director), Douglas Carter Beane (the author), and Nathan Lane (the star).  PBS's website had the full-length 48-minute interview.  I was able to capture the 48-minute version and Larry said that he should be able to add that to the Blu-ray. :)


You could make a killing on this Blu-ray.
