Well, you've read the notes, the notes were wonderful and spoke of a world and the Brothers Grimm, and now it is time for you to post until the Grimm cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: CONFABULATE!
-
It's always exciting to hear/read about new (potential) Kritzerland releases! Can't wait to find out what it'll be!
-
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning to all.
-
I never went to a real Cinerama theatre. But I believe the first and only movie I saw that was billed using the process was 2001: A Space Odyssey.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I went to bed at 8:00 and got plenty of sleep with Annabelle on the pillow beside me and Thatch on the other side. I had a lotta dreams and now I remember none of them.
-
I wish our PBS would bring back the Great British Baking Show. I am so in love with Mary Berry that I bought her autobiography from Amazon.co.uk and loved it.
-
DR George - I am not giving medical advice.
But what my doctor told me was, real lemons. Not the kind that comes in the plastic lemon bottle. And, of course, no sugar added.
DR Jane, I am drinking the juice of 2 to 3 regular-sized lemons per day. 4 ounces of juice, diluted into water throughout the day.
-
Good morning, everyone!
-
BK, you're cruising for another battle with Mr Yap. You got your ladies backwards on the Anyone Can Whistle post. Friedman is Faye Apple and Julia McKenzie is Cora. I've been through too many rounds on Facebook with John Yap, whose attacks on any critic remind me of that nasty eel in the 1977 Jacqueline Bisset movie The Deep.
-
;D
-
Well, I hope that today will not fulfill the QAnon prediction that Donald Trump will rise from the dead and declare himself our Lard and Bastard.
-
First Cinerama movie?
The Seven Wonders of the World and The Brothers Grimm. That was plenty.
-
This has been my experience.
-
It's fabulous to confabulate.
-
If you confabulate fabulously, you, too can be a politician.
-
Project Six? Did I miss Projects 3, 4, & 5? ;)
-
Today, "CBS All Access" becomes "Paramount Plus."
-
I had to do a little bit of digging to educate myself about what "smilebox" format means.

Kitty cleanup is over, and I guess the basement trip is next on the agenda.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I don’t believe I ever saw anything in Cinerama.
-
My loss.
-
I am another Luddite who never saw anything in the Cinerama process at an actual theatre.
I find it to be weird on television......people seem to be walking upstage and downstage and it looks ... well weird..... I am probably not explaining it correctly, but that's what it looks like to me
-
Thanks to DR VIXMOM for finding that "G".....and to DR singdaw who also located it.
I feel much better now.
-
Today is my dentist appointment .... 3 p.m. wherein it is alleged that I will get my bottom choppers.....since it's been since December 21, I look forward to having them.
-
Good morning, all.

I love the Smilebox format. I guess I first knew of it with the Blu-ray release of HOW THE WEST WAS WON. For me, it's a simple but genius re-creation of what it felt like and looked like to experience a large format film on a curved screen in a great theater.
I do wonder if you "had to be there" to appreciate what it's doing, or are people who never saw that kind of movie in that kind of theater able to "get it" as well? That's not to be condescending, by any means. I just wonder that.
-
I've known several Cinerama theaters, but I believe I've only ever seen a couple of the actual 3-strip films in them. Those would be the first couple of the travelogue features of the 1950s, when my grandmother would take my sister and me on a bus from Columbus to Cincinnati to see them in their roadshow engagements. Columbus had a few wonderful movie palaces but it didn't have a Cinerama theater. Cincinnati would have been the closest city with one.
We didn't see "How the West Was Won" till it went into general release on flat screens, but I well remember how it looked with the visible lines between the three panels.
The only other "Cinerama" films I saw in their original theaters were those projected from 70mm, even though they used the Cinerama name: "2001", "Mad World", and the like. Even the fabled rereleases of "This is Cinerama", such as at the Dome in the 1970s, were 70mm, not 3-strip. But I have a real fondness for all of those movies, even the kitchiest of them, and I have all of the Smilebox releases. Looking forward to "Brothers Grimm".
-
Project Six? Did I miss Projects 3, 4, & 5? ;)
This was bound to happen sooner or later. An innocent but Freudian slip of the fingers, and yet another DEEP STATE CONSPIRACY is revealed. I KNEW THEY WERE COVERING UP ALL OF THESE, AND MORE.

I liked that aspect of West, too. It must have been something to behold on a supersize screen.
-
I have been listening to the CPAC Anthem with different accompaniments......Birdy Barnum is not amused.
-
I don't think the Cinerama process can be recreated OUTSIDE of the B I G curved screen experience......although it can be approximated.

I would go so far as to say it can only be suggested. Watching a Smilebox movie requires a certain mental participation on the part of the viewer, some combination of actual memory and a little imagination. That’s not a criticism. I love it.

Good Morning - just another ordinary day.

Temps in the 40's here today.

I hope it works and you enjoy the taste. I do like fresh lemons in water, but not all day.

Arounds 9:30 I decided to go ahead with the laundry, which is waiting to be put away.
-
Sometimes when I am looking at things on Newspapers.com, I look at different pages to see what is what.
Yesterday there was a small story in the 1948 Chico newspaper. A young man about 25 years of age hired a pilot to take him up in a small plane. When they were in the air, the young man took off his seat belt and tried to open the door of the airplane.
The pilot struggled with him and turned the plane back toward the airport - the young man succeeded in opening the door and jumping out of the plane.
They found his body in a field. No identification was found on him and all of the labels were removed from his clothing.....
As far as I know, he was never identified.....

~~~CHOPPER VIBES~~~ for DR Jand70 This afternoon!!!
-
Veggiemals!
-
DR Jrand70, this is the jacket I bought yesterday. It should arrive in another week or so.

I finally put all of the laundry away. Now it's time for the cats' dinner.

DR Jrand70, this is the jacket I bought yesterday. It should arrive in another week or so.
Very nice, Larry. We'll expect a pic of you wearing it!
-
Veggiemals!
Made without Vegemite.

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep but not straight through - was up again at four-fifteen for an hour. But I needed the sleep so nine hours is good.

The delivery has been made - friend Sandy Bainum sent me a big box from Jack Stack Barbecue in Kansas City. Included is chopped barbecue beef, burnt ends, beans, carrot cake, and a bottle of sauce. All flash frozen and all currently in the freezer. Defrosting instructions are forty-eight to seventy-two hours in the refrigerator so if I put it all in there now I can eat this stuff on Saturday or Sunday. We shall see about that. It all looks very good. The bottle of sauce has no instructions other than refrigerate after opening - but it's frozen so? I put it in the fridge to defrost - or should I leave it out?
-
Seeing Cinerama in real Cinerama theater was like nothing else you've ever seen. It really was an event and special. Smilebox allows the image to "look" like it did but it's just that. You cannot imagine the visceral thrill of the size of Cinerama and how it was to watch it. My first was the 1960 reissue of Seven Wonders of the World and it was incredible. I wish I'd seen the other travelogues there but didn't, there being the Warner Cinerama. I didn't really start my regular Hollywood sojourns until 1961. Then it was Brothers Grimm and How the West Was Won, and that was it. The Dome never showed real three-panel Cinerama until the late 1990s and their screen was not as wide nor as tall as the Warner Cinerama, so for me, seeing three-panel there isn't quite the same experience.
-
I'd been typing six for the start time for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday that I just typed it for the project, too. I put the fix on six in.

Facebook has an new thing called People You May Know and because of it, I've gotten about forty friend requests in two days.

We now have a Shake shack in my neighborhood, and they have the best burgers. So, I had a Shackburger, fries, and a strawberry shake for tonight's dinner. As Thatch would say, It's yummy!

This is not new at all. I learned to be careful because at first I thought they were friend requests & asked someone to be friends, which was fine as she was a classmate.

Thirty-five years ago tomorrow, my reconstruction of the 1935 Cole Porter-Moss Hart musical "Jubilee" received its first performances at Town Hall, directed by Jimmy Brennan and musical direction by Greg Dlugos. The cast included Roderick Cook, Paula Lawrence, Robert Fitch, Alyson Reed, Carole Shelley, Davis Gaines, Reed Jomnes, Patrick Quinn, and a very young, very beautiful Rebecca Luker in her second New York performance.
Thirteen years later BBC Radio-3 broadcast a performance directed by Ian Marshall Fisher with musical direction by Kevin Amos. The cast included Denis Quilley, Vivienne Martin, Gavin Lee, Sarah Payne, Sally Ann Triplett, David Malek, Elizabeth Counsell, and David Firth. I will post a few numbers from each of those performances.

Bruce did Brothers Grimm ever play at the Cinerama Dome? Keith remembers seeing it there, not at the Warner.
I feel as if I saw this but really don't remember.
-
We both saw, not together, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World at the Cinerama Dome.
-
Thanks for those sound clips, DR elmore3003. What a project!
-
I would probably leave the sauce jar out on the counter for a few hours to get it started defrosting, then into the fridge.
-
Nice present!
-
I am wiped from getting up so early to take delivery of groceries.
-
Shake Shack dinner sounds great, too!
-
That's me!

Wonder what he thought of going from "the vegetable" that shouldn't be specified to "easily deflated." Her tear at the end is particularly wonderful.

I would thaw it in the fridge. If you don't know the ingredients and don't have instructions, it's just safer thawing it slowly where it has no chance of thawing.

Off for a walk. It's supposedly in the 70s out there. The sun is still bright.
-
Nice jacket DR ELMORE.
-
Nice gift MR BK.
-
Well I am getting used to the bridge....it took an hour after I got home to really get it in the proper place in my mouth...but now it seems to being doing well.
I probably won't have my upper work done until the fall - hoping my investments do as well this year as they did last year.....
So..i have a mouth full of plastic....and that's okay.
-
I'm back to Phffft! I couldn't take more than a half hour last night. I may skip to the end.
-
Glad it seems to be working out, DR Jrand70.
-
This matches my experience.
-
The weather outside is wonderful. I managed about an hour walk.
-
Wonderful, DR John G.

I feel as if I saw this but really don't remember.
You may tell him the answer is no, he never saw it at the Dome and the reason is very simple: The Dome wasn't built when Brothers Grimm played :) In fact, it wasn't built when How the West Was Won first opened either. It began construction in summer of 1963 and opened with Mad World in November of that year. :)
-
Picked up one little package, attended the online virtual book fair - the prices are outrageous this year - it's like book dealers are tone deaf and most booths I saw hadn't sold a single book - then again, many had, at those outrageous prices. Interestingly, every dealer who had Frederic Brown books sold them all and at higher prices than usual - that's good since I have six of the early ones.

DR George - I am not giving medical advice.
But what my doctor told me was, real lemons. Not the kind that comes in the plastic lemon bottle. And, of course, no sugar added.
DR Jane, I am drinking the juice of 2 to 3 regular-sized lemons per day. 4 ounces of juice, diluted into water throughout the day.
Ahh...I was just curious, but if the doctor specified real lemons, I, like you, would definitely go with the real lemons. :)

Yes, but it might have played there later. If it did you would probably know.

Odds are he just doesn't remember it was the Warner.

Where is your local one?
They opened one down the block from where I used to work a couple of years ago. I went twice right after they opened .The first time I was very disappointed, in fact I took a couple of bites and threw it away. The manager saw me do it and came over, offered her apologies and gave me a card for a free meal. I found that pretty blah as well. I haven’t been back since

I'm also not a fan of the smilebox format. I actually do have the smilebox versions of Holiday in Spain (Scent of Mystery) and Windjammer. I get that it gives a sense of the Cinerama experience, but it distorts the image, like zooming a widescreen image to make a full-frame image. I'd rather just watch the movie than be frustrated that it's distorted and has areas that are harder to see than other areas. Now, if they released the smilebox version along with the full widescreen version, then I'd certainly be all for that. But that's just me. :)
-
I don't think the Cinerama process can be recreated OUTSIDE of the B I G curved screen experience......although it can be approximated.
I would go so far as to say it can only be suggested. Watching a Smilebox movie requires a certain mental participation on the part of the viewer, some combination of actual memory and a little imagination. That’s not a criticism. I love it.
And that's horse racing. ;)

Gratuitous Post #100!!

Jane, it never played there. They couldn't show it there in three panel Cinerama, they didn't have that ability until the very late 1990s. Plus, Mad World ran for well over a year there, then that was followed by one long run after another. In fact, I have a list of every movie that ever played there all the way through the late 1980s. As ChasSmith will tell you, there are people who SWEAR they saw How the West Was Won there during its original engagement. They won't be told otherwise, and when you provide irrefutable proof with the fact it wasn't even built yet and then it played Mad World, and then provide photos of the Warner with the West marquee, and they STILL refuse to acknowledge they were wrong. Same thing with 2001 during its original run. They SWEAR it - we provide photos, they still won't believe it. Memories are funny things. But you'll notice, the handful of times I've been wrong about where I saw something, I admit it immediately..

Interestingly, every dealer who had Frederic Brown books sold them all and at higher prices than usual - that's good since I have six of the early ones.
Cool! He's one of my favorite authors. I don't have any valuable copies of his, though...fine by me. I just want to read the books.

Interestingly, every dealer who had Frederic Brown books sold them all and at higher prices than usual - that's good since I have six of the early ones.
Cool! He's one of my favorite authors. I don't have any valuable copies of his, though...fine by me. I just want to read the books.
George I suspect you mean the scifi/mystery writer Fredric Brown vs Frederick Brown.
Bruce did you mean Fredric or Frederick?
Yes, Fredric. I don't know of a Frederick Brown.
-
I think we need a few more posts, don't you?
-
Former DR Charles Pogue has also said that Fredric Brown is one of his "favourite writers (http://www.haineshisway.com/smf/index.php?topic=1762.msg462946#msg462946)."
-
Yes, I think we do.

Tonight after work, I drove through Arby's to try one of their new King’s Hawaiian® Fish Deluxe (https://arbys.com/our-menu/limited-time-offers/kings-hawaiian-fish-deluxe) sandwiches.
-
It was pretty good...a little too much tartar sauce, but still pretty good.
-
It's only available for a limited time.
-
I don't know if I'll get it again, though.
-
I might try their Crispy Fish (https://arbys.com/our-menu/limited-time-offers/crispy-fish), which is also only available for a limited time.
-
I had some coupons, which made me think of going there, but none of the coupons were for either of the fish sandwiches.
-
I hate it when that happens...they advertise new (and only available for a limited time) items, but they don't have coupons for said new items. :P
-
I did use one coupon for their 4-piece mozzarella sticks (https://arbys.com/our-menu/sides/mozzarella-sticks).
-
Those were pretty good, too.
-
I actually ate my food in their parking lot, because I didn't want the food to get cold, nor did I want to eat while driving at night.
-
I like to know if my food is very messy when I'm eating, and I can't do that at night AND pay attention to my driving.
-
Safety first...usually. ;)
-
Well...isn't this a fine how do you do??
-
BK posted his new notes, but there's no new day for posting!
-
His notes, as usual, were quite informative.
-
I don't know if it was automatic or what, but as I read, "a couple hundred dealers from all over the world," I actually read it to the tune of "Another hundred people just got off of the train."

Well...

...I...

...hate...

...it, but I need to get to bed. But I just wanted to make sure that we made it to...

PAGE SIX!!!

...before I left.

So now, my work here is done.
Have a good day, all!
