"The Innocents" is my favourite "ghost tale. ("The Turn Of The Screw").
Two films come to mind for the top.
The Haunting (The Robet Wise original)
Less is More
The Legend of Hell House
Much like The Haunting. Small cast, a house and a mystery
Well, I'm back from the surgeon and feeling somewhat better; he says everything's healing fine.
THE GHOST AND MRS MUIR, TOPPER, BEETLEJUICE! What's run away with my mind?

Vixmom, you ought to seek out GHOST AND MRS MUIR again (the movie)...I think you would really enjoy it!
Great News Elmore. Now we just have to get your AC up and running.
If you were a really good friend you would hurry yourself over to DR elmore's apartment and stand over him, fanning him with a palm leaf to keep him cool ;D
It also made me think of the new Spelling Bee booklet. While I love many parts of it (the synopsis, along with where the songs fit in, the lyrics ...), it is quite hard to read. But why would they approve it if it's that hard to read.
Well, I'm back from the surgeon and feeling somewhat better; he says everything's healing fine. My last visit is in a month: I'm off to DC the last week of June and then he's off for two weeks to Hawaii (20th wedding anniversary). He's a very good man, and I hope he has a great holiday.
Today's my mom's birthday! We're going to Applebee's (http://www.applebees.com) for dinner!
Doesn't DR RLP ever post here anymore?
Michael Barnum was in BLITHE SPIRIT?
Perturbed and Annoyed....isn't that a law firm, DRJOSE?
BUT my favorite film/play about ghosts was also mentioned, but I will say it again just because it's so darn good: BLITHE SPIRIT!
Michael Barnum was in BLITHE SPIRIT?
Hmmmm....is this something "you've" been doing?
What's the buzz, tell me what's a happenin'When do we ride into Jerusalem?
Where have the people gone?

Happy birthday to DR George's mom.
I've never eaten at an Applebee's. Are they an all-foods kind of place or do they specialize in a particular style of food?
Am I the only one who liked:
Happy birthday to DR George's mom.

Happy Birthday to DRGEORGE's mater!
Happiest of Birthdays to DR George's dear Mother!!!!!
Everyone keeps mentioning THE SECRET GARDEN because the musical added a lot of dead folk, but I remember no ghosts in any film or the original book. I'm not being pedantic, just clarifying things because I always thought THE SECRET GARDEN ripped off the ghosts from FOLLIES, the greatest musical ever written about ghosts!
I'm pissed because I cannot believe I forgot BLITHE SPIRIT, one of my alltime favorite plays and movies; I like the musical version, HIGH SPIRITS, as well.
I think that's another DR's fantasy!
Perturbed and Annoyed....isn't that a law firm, DRJOSE?
Umm... I think you're getting your fantasies mixed up.
:P
No... but it could lead to one.
>:(
And you think I was talking about you? Feeling guilty?
JRand54, Ms. Meena Kumari's 1954 film ALADDIN AND HIS WONDERFUL LAMP just released on DVD this week.
And you think I was talking about you? Feeling guilty?
Count to ten, DRJOSE. The world is full of idiots, and they all have your telephone number and email address.
Hmmm.... Just what do they put in that Meatloaf?
;D
Anyone wanna join me?
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning
Yes, DTM, that is TIME OF THEIR LIVES with Marjorie Reynolds. It is on DVD in one of the Abbott and Costello sets.
Well, if you have decided in the morning that you want to lunch at our museum, I have to tell you that the special of the day every Friday is Vietnamese Chicken Bowl.
I cannot possibly begin to imagine what that might include.
I thought we'd already had the movie RUNAWAY BRIDE. Julia Roberts starred (the fabulous Christopher Meloni was one of the grooms she ran away from) and it was a big hit.
My god, anyone who'd be interested in seeing this "true-life" story must be desperate for entertainment.
SHE shouldn't be allowed to sell her story. It's the potential groom whose story needs telling...he's the one they put at the top of the list as a suspect in her alleged "murder"...he's the one who was wronged.
She's a bitch, pure and simple.
They're surrounding us...and we're in the middle of several major faults.
Things are moving, and I'm a wonderin' if a biggun is on the horizon...!
Count to ten, DRJOSE. The world is full of idiots, and they all have your telephone number and email address.
Does a change of address now mean that I am in the clear?I do not!
I'm now leaving work to pick up my niece so that we can go to Applebee's for my mom's birthday dinner! Be back later...and much fuller! ;D
Page 3. Nearly all Ron P, all the time.But avoid the sushi.
Applebee's specializes in everything.
Today is MEATLOAF THURSDAY at the Oakland Museum Cafe!I refuse to eat any museum's meatloaf without knowing it's provenance.
Today's TOD:
Oompityfratz years ago (in 1970, in fact) a television movie called Sole Survivor aired, starring Vince Edwards and Richard Basehart. It was about an Air Force bomber that had crashed in the Lybian desert, with one survivor (Basehart). Edwards was in charge of an investigation, at first just to tie up the loose ends. Meanwhile, those who hadn't survived the crash were still with the plane...
THAT is a GREAT movie! But if memory serves, it was William Shatner who was the suvivor. Or it's possible I'm getting it mixed up with another movie. Maybe it was Richard Basehart but I keep seeing Shatner in my minds eye.Shatner was also in the film.
Ron-LOL
Thank you Nurse Jane. They're working.
elmore and Tomovoz, continued healing vibes!
We started watching "Guys and Dolls" last night. I don't think I have ever seen it before (certainly not in colour!). Brando is so WRONG.
George Happy Birthday to your mother & to your parents on their 41st anniversary.
François de Paris thank you for sharing the Julie Andrews story and the poem.
I hate Meatloaf. Yuck.
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that......
But I LOVE MeatLoaf!!!!
So...
After leaving the theatre, I decided to drive up to the Adams Morgan neighborhood and walk around for bit, grab a bite to eat. Gorgeous night out!
I ended up at the historic Ben's Chili Bowl. I've passed it many times, but never been in. I got a classic meal of a Chili-Dog, Cheese Fries and an Iced Tea. Very good. And very non-greasy for a greasy spoon.

Then it was over to the Love Cafe for some dessert. Well, desserts. ;) The place is the cafe for the Cakelove bakery across the street. So, let's see what they put in my box of goodies
Cupcakes: Chocolate Cake dipped in Chocolate Ganache, Chocolate Cake with Lime Buttercream, Chocolate Cake with Amaretto Buttercream and Slivered Almonds, Yellow Cake with Fresh Strawberry Buttercream; and one "Crunchy Feet" (foot?) - a mini pound cake with buttercream.
:)
And, no, I have not ate all of them. Yet.

We have electricity now.
Next week will be fun week. Der Brucer is on grandlad duty all week, transporting them to their different summer camps (Alex goes farming, William plays soccer). Meanwhile, I've got a work schedule that's totally in the air. Meanwhile, on Monday Night, there's a Log Cabin Delaware meeting being held in town THAT WE ONLY LEARNED ABOUT YESTERDAY!!! Hopefully, my schedule won't conflict too much. But der B will be lucky to get there an hour late. If, that is, his daughter doesn't insist on talking his ear off and holding him up.
We're both torked off enough with her, as it is. She thinks our car smells too much of dog, and it makes us smell like dogs. That's why she sprayed our car with some anti-smell stuff. The car now smells like a French whorehouse. Any vibular bitch-slaps in her direction will be appreciated. :P
I've got a sweet tooth, baby. I'm trying to be good, but I may have to give in, oh, yes, I may have to give in. But, I've only eaten a BLT and fries all day (well, some popcorn, too). We shall see.
I've been nosing around the kritzerland site - I'm really liking a lot of it. There are some things to fix, but it all works as it should.
Okay, Mac users. When I try to open a video clip, I'm presented with a download window - it then takes three minutes to load the clip, puts it on my desktop, and THEN opens the player and plays. When I had someone else test it, it streamed fine, like it should. So, do I have to set something differently in preferences? I've had this problem at amazon occasionally when trying to play their audio clips - instead of just getting the player and it buffering or whatever it's supposed to do, I get the download window and it puts it on my desktop.
Would Dorian Gray be a ghost or a demon or whut?
Evening folks.
I do hope that everyone is safe and sound in CA. I can’t imagine what it must be like to have the ground move under you.
It's been a while since the earth moved for a few of us!It's kind of like getting to see MBarnum in a bathing suit!

Tonight's command performance was for the local Bar Association. A rather small and quiet audience. However, they did leave us lots of food and drink!
