Post by: bk on October 29, 2016, 12:07:53 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both long and short but mostly long, and now it is time for you to post until the long and short cows come home.

I memory serves me the final scene cut from The Shining is Barry Nelson visiting Shelly Duvall in the hospital and telling her they could not find the body of Jack Nicholson. He also gives Danny a tennis ball. That what I remember. I saw it opening day in Canada and the scene was still there and when I went back it was gone. I complained and was told as the story goes cut from the film.

Title: Re: THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT
Post by: elmore3003 on October 29, 2016, 06:57:13 AM: I sent my Halloween pieces to British conductor John Wilson, who sent me back a photo and question "Is this the house?"

I don't know where he found the photo, but it is my grandmother's haunted house at 711 Tenth Avenue, Middletown, Ohio. I had forgotten that little step from the path to the door to the sidewalk. The Schuberts lived in the larger house to the left, and then Tenth Avenue merged with Main Street, which led to the shopping district.

The building was long and barrow. The door on the porch opened onto a dining room, and a long kitchen was in the back to the left. The living room had the two front windows. My Aunt Dorothy's piano was there. The window above the porch is my grandmother's room. The two windows in front are from the room my uncles, who were still in high school, shared and my Aunt Dorothy's. My parents and I had a room at the side of the house next to the Schubert house.

Post by: bk on October 29, 2016, 08:38:58 AM: Michael Shayne, I said in the notes what the penultimate scene was - it was in the hospital, not with Barry Nelson but with Anne Jackson, who'd had one previous scene at the beginning of the film.
Title: Re: THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT
Post by: bk on October 29, 2016, 08:39:54 AM: I watched about half of The Shining TV remake and finally had to shut it off - a horrible thing with no style, and I really didn't like the leading man, the guy from Wings.

Post by: elmore3003 on October 29, 2016, 03:48:33 PM: I just went down to pick up my mail and ran into the neighbor below me. She moved into the apartment shortly after the suicide of the previous tenant, a young man in his late 20s or early thirties who hanged himself. His girlfriend discovered his body when she became alarmed at not hearing from him for several days.

Since his suicide, I've seen him several times around the building, and tonight my neighbor told me she's seen him and that she also has a couple of ghosts who occasionally talk.

I need to pamper him a little, but there's very little time.

I hope you mean that you are busy and have little time to pamper him, vs he has little time left after bleeding.

Post by: bk on October 29, 2016, 05:31:23 PM: Had a productive session with Sami - gave her a few notes, but she's basically got a handle on Donna. Then we went to Hugo's for food. I had a Caesar and mac-and-cheese and Sami had carbonara - she didn't love it - it looked good, so I had a taste and those dopes put WINE in it, which absolutely ruins what the dish is all about. It's such a classic and simple and easy thing - she ended up eating over a third of the mac-and-cheese, so she loved that because that they do very well.
