Well, you've read the notes, the notes saw David and Lisa and The Miracle Worker at the Fine Arts, and now it is time for you to post until the miracle working cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SANGUINE!

Good morning,all.

Vivid, disturbing dream that I had gone down to the city last night to see a late showing of Helen Mirren doing some Shakespeare. How I got there I don't know. I went to an off-broadway show I had seen before and felt asleep during it. When I woke, I was the only person left in the theater. I staggered out and didn't know how to get to the other theater, how I had gotten to New York or anything else. It was muddy and I was wearing mud-covered boots.
-
Off to the city.
-
This time I know I am going by train.

I feel as though I'm having PTSD over the murders of that squirrel and raccoon.
-
( slept well last night until 4:00 or so. It got very chilly last night, so I think it might be time to winter-ize the bed. Annabelle crawled under the blankets to get warm and, as she lay next to me and purred loudly, I got to wondering how I'd feel if some bureaucratic agency burst into my home to drag off the cats and euthanize them. That led to my anger and sorrow over a squirrel and raccoon dragged from the only home they knew, terrorized, traumatized, bewildered, and butchered. The alarm at 5:30 was a welcome relief.
-
On a happier note, last night I finished watching all nine seasons of Suits. Around Season 7, I started thinking the series went on too long, but I kept with it, and by Season 9 I thought it was back on its feet and the show came to a satisfying - often moving - conclusion, much like a good novel. I liked the fact that the show kept bringing back character so that, say, a plot in Season 9 could refer to characters and events in Season 6.

I was going to make pasta sauce today, but I forgot to take the meat out of the freezer to thaw. So, I guess I will make pasta sauce tomorrow. I may take an hour this morning to chop peppers and onion.

Good morning, all.

There’s so much to have PTSD over this week.
-
We lived in Fort Lauderdale from 1960 to 1969, and my discovery of those two movies was at the beautiful old Florida Theatre downtown. That was also where we saw The Music Man and One Two Three and Mary Poppins and Bye Bye Birdie when they opened in town, and where I saw my first Hitchcock movies, the rerelease double bill of The Trouble With Harry and The Man Who Knew Too Much. And so much more. They showed everything, big and small, and there was always an audience.
The Fine Arts, of course, could not have been more perfect for those two, and I enjoyed my share of good foreign and art films there in the 70s and 80s.
-
I also always recall a lovely Warner Bros. festival at the Fine Arts, revival house style, in the late 70s. And the full houses. I wish I still had the flyer from that.

Good morning!

Wordle: 5/6. Too many rhyming words!

TOD:
My favorite film from 1962 is my favorite film of all time: "To Kill A Mockingbird"
Others I love:
"Lawrence of Arabia"
"The Music Man"
"Gypsy"
"Billy Rose's 'Jumbo'"
"Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"
"Ride the High Country"
"Advise and Consent"
"Rome Adventure"
"Mutiny on the Bounty"
"The Miracle Worker"
"The Longest Day"
...and many others, as well. As BK said, it's a spectacular year for film.
I will add to the above "How the West Was Won", which is technically a 1962 film, but which got its greatest exposure in 1963 and qualified for the Academy Awards in that year rather than for 1962. Had to do with when it first played in Los Angeles, IIRC, which was 1963,
-
I'd be interested in reading about other folks' opinions of a film called "The Go-Between" starring Julie Christie, Alan Bates and Dominic Guard.
I saved it on my DVR a month or so back when TCM was showing Christie films.
I have very mixed feeling about this Joseph Losey film, as well as an aversion to its soundtrack written by the brilliant Michel Legrand.
Am wondering how others perceive it.

DR slingshot, your weekend plans with that baby in swaddling - is that supposed to be Jesus? - confuse me: are you doing S/M in bondage or celebrating advent?

Blue skies and a bit of sunshine this morning.
It is 50 degrees headed for 61 degrees with a lot of rain predicted for overnight.

Who decides these things?

I'd like my pizza with extra pepperoni, please.

Here's what the morning hath wrought in this neck of the woods. Don't these guys know it's almost Thanksgiving?
This is a dramatic change. Over the years we've had maybe one little family of wild turkeys come through a few times a year, but there have been none at all for the past several years. All of a sudden, whammo. They're going crazy over the bird seed we put out. I didn't have the greatest view of all of them at any one time, but I counted up to fifteen in this group today.
-
That's quite a flock, DR ChasSmith.

Saturday morning greetings! Quiet weekend for us, which is fine.

I don't think he moved once the whole time the turkeys were out there. He seemed to know that any movement or noise would send them scurrying.

To answer the actual TOD is challenging, but looking at Wikipedia's list, here goes:
Cape Fear
Carnival of Souls
David and Lisa
Dr. No
Experiment in Terror
Gypsy
How the West Was Won
Lawrence of Arabia
Lolita
The Longest Day
The Manchurian Candidate
The Miracle Worker
Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation
The Music Man
Mutiny on the Bounty
Requiem for a Heavyweight
To Kill a Mockingbird
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
There are others I like or love equally as well, but those are the clear leaders. Those others would be several from Roger Corman (including The Intruder which I only became acquainted with a couple of years ago), Birdman of Alcatraz, Confessions of an Opium Eater, Days of Wine and Roses, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Panic in Year Zero!, Ride the High Country, and Two for the Seesaw. These are all movies I can watch repeatedly, like the above.

Oh, oh. It was cute & exciting when the first few turkeys walked across our property in Ashland. It didn't take long for the numbers to increase and for it to no longer be cute.

My brother was going to pay me a bit and said in six months he hopes to be on track to finish paying - so I just told him to start paying me in sixth months.

So you're saying it's safe to hit you up for a loan right about now, DR Jrand74?

I shall now be on my way to the mail place, then Gelson's, then home - unless I decide on Popeye's, but I'm not really feeling it.

I may even do a tiny bit of writing.

If I'm feeling it.

And if it is feeling me, if you get my drift.

And I intend to have a movie day, too.

Can one use "I'm schnockered" to mean "I'm tired"?
-

Or does it just mean "I'm drunk"?

Good penultimate performance vibes for DR GEORGE & Co.
Thanks, Jrand!

That's how rumors get started.

I've only heard is used as "drunk."

Perhaps.

I suppose one could be both.

The set.
-
The show had three co-directors who kept the action moving. They did some cross gender casting that worked well. Goneril's nasty attendant and Kent were both played by women, and both very good. One actress played both Cordelia and the Fool.
-
The usually dreadful Rob Ashford was one of the three directors. When I saw his name I half expected Branagh to do that sideways step Ashford always uses.

Good evening.

My conference is over, and I'm sitting in my hotel room with a ten dollar single burger from Wendy's.

I will begin with the movies I remember seeing in 1962.
The Miracle Worker
Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation
The Music Man
Dr. No
David and Lisa
Billy Budd
-
Granted it is possible I did not see David and Lisa until 1963. I remember my father telling me to go see it and I went with a friend who was also short and looked young. We had to convince them to let us in and that our parents told us to see the movie.

I’ve been obsessed with Rupert Holmes’s lovely song “Annabella” which came from the album “Singles” a couple years after “Widescreen.” I have had a very difficult time finding a vinyl copy of “Singles.”
-
Some intrepid person made a lovely music video for the song, using footage from the film “Night Tide” which is from 1961, just a year too early for the TOD.

Finished with my non-viewing. So much for a three movie day.

Listening to Jerry Goldsmith's score to Magic.

Good score, very bad movie thanks to Richard Attenborough.

Will write notes sooner than later.

Which is better than later than sooner.

Not very sporting.
