Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not especially sweet and pungent but they got the job done, and now it is time for you to post until the sweet and pungent cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SLATTERN!

Ah, yes, Carnivore Vixens from the Planet Slattern. That's the title of my next movie.

The Los Angeles Times has published it's Summer Sneeks listing. (http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/cl-sneaks2006-sg,0,203178.storygallery?coll=cl-home-top-blurb-right)
So, any films coming up that has your interest piqued? :D
Conversely, any films coming up that make you feel like something else is coming up? :P

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANISE!!!!!! Hope you have a wonderful day and a year full of good health and happiness

Happy Happy Birthday, Dear Danise!!!!

I do not think I will have to eat again for at least a week. We have had SOOO much food in the past few days. First it was a whole in the wall chinese place that was wonderful, then the 9 course meal at Morimoto and last night a 4 course meal at Cuba Libre. It would have been easy to eat less, but the food was fantastic. And I rarely drink anymore, except when I'm with the people I've been with this week. I am so ready to go home and get some sleep!
-
Sending best birthday wishes to Danise!
-
I think the biggest problem was that we ate so late at night, the last course arriving at almost midnight. For a country girl who normally has dinner about 5:00 PM that was REALLY late
-
Having said that....I will be flying all afternoon...maybe I should go eat breakfast :-)

The emotions of the plane crash were huge. But nothing prepared me for the final scenes with Aisha Tyler and her brother and Melinda. That was heartbreaking! :(

Sunday morning greetings! You've all probably figured out that I'm back in my home environment. I got home about 9:30 last night, visited with DH Richard for a while, and then crashed! It was a long 2 days, but as the newly-installed chair of the same event for next year (April 20-21, 2007, in Tiffin, OH), it won't be a hard act to follow ::)
-
Good morning!
It rained for much of the morning, but it has stopped for the present. It's very cool and altogether yucky outside with more rain supposedly on the way.
A nice day to stay inside, do laundry, and watch movies. This is the plan.
-
DR MattH, I finally watched this week's episode of Veronica Mars. Wow!
But what do you want to bet, that with one week to go, the person who we think is the killer IS NOT!
I agree with you! It definitely won't be the person who seemed so obvious to be the perpetrator in this episode. But I have in my mind who I think IS the killer. I'll lket you know if I guessed correctly (without mentioning any names) after the finale on Tuesday.
Still keeping my fingers crossed that the show gets picked up for next season. Kristen Bell told TV GUIDE that she just signed a three year contract extension, so she's confident the show is going to get renewed. Here's hoping. . . .

Looking forward to watching THREE LITTLE WORDS this afternoon. That should add some color to this dreary day-weather wise.

Just to get people drooling, here's the links to the Morimoto (http://www.morimotorestaurant.com/morimoto.html) and Cuba Libre (http://www.cubalibrerestaurant.com/) sites.
Yup, those are the places. At Morimoto we were in the Oakcase Room. It would have been fun to be in the main dining room. The booths and I think maybe the floors or something else change colors while you dine. Pretty cool looking.
At Cuba Libre we were upstairs. It was a memorial celebration of a friend's life. He killed himself a few months ago. Will Smith and family were in an adjoining room. No one bothered them while they were eating, but on their way out they passed through our room and he was extremely friendly, signing autographs for a couple kids who were there and shaking hands. I wasn't near that area but could see from a distance. It made me smile to see how gracious he was.
-
Wave when you fly over SW Ohio, DR Cillaliz!
Will do
-
DR Cillaliz - is the group you've been with in Philadelphia the same group that's coming to Cincinnati next year (or is it the next)?
-
When I turned my cell phone back on yesterday after my meetings ended there was a voice mail message from DR Elmore. He's here in the town where I live, but couldn't leave a call back number. If anyone here on the site hears from him today, please tell him that my phone will be ON all day and that DH Richard and I have no plans for this evening.

During last week's episode, I almost thought that that was what was going to happen (what an unseemly sentence!), but then I forgot about paying attention during the rest of the episode. And when the moment came in this week's episode, I KNEW it, but was still unprepared! :o

Going to prepare lunch now. Fred Astaire and Red Skelton, here I come! :)
-
Rodzinski and I attended the Spring Fling for our friend's theater company, the same company producing the ten minute play he directed. There was a silent auction- I started by bidding on some jewelry and a large collection of DVD's from A&E. But I ended up focusing my attention on and winning a script of the Grey's Anatomy pilot autographed by the cast. It also came with a baseball cap commemorating the superbowl show (EBAY?) and the series soundtrack.
-
Congrats on your chairmanship, DR GINNY!
Thanks, DR JRand. Interestingly, it emerged yesterday that one of the Tiffin people with whom I will be working very closely over the next year and I were classmates in The University of Michigan School of Library Science more than 30 years ago. We didn't know each other, because we were in different parts of the program, but it made for some pretty quick bonding yesterday.
-
Ginny - how was the meeting??? Congrats on your success!
Thank you, DR PennyO! We can make many improvements for next year, such as:
Having the break-out sessions be more interactive
Keeping the keynote speeches shorter, allowing more time for Q&A
Selecting a more appropriate title for the All-Convention Read and telling the discussion leaders not to lecture
-
Congratulations, DR Ginny!
-
DR TPunk - there was a silent auction at the event I attended this weekend, too. Two of my passengers bid on - and won - a huge basket filled with all kinds of chocolate items. I offered to help them pay for it, but instead they gave me whatever I wanted as reimbursement for gas. Fair trade, dontcha think ;D
-
....telling the discussion leaders not to lecture
How about calling them discussion "facilitators"? That might give them a hint. ;)
-
Congratulations, DR Ginny!
Thanks, DR George! Are you feeling better?

I'm actually ending up doing a little tax "work" this weekend after all, but it's just to help out a friend with her business tax reporting.
Then, a little dinner party which completely closes off my Birthday week celebration for myself. :)
-
Saw TARZAN again the other night. It certainly moves a lot faster than it did about a week into previews, and with the story moving along as a better clip, the songs actually felt less burdensome than they did the first time. It's actually about 20 minutes shorter, although my middle-aged memory keeps me from being able to recount excatly what's been cut. If only they weren't so intent on getting in under the Tony nomination deadline, this is a show that could use a few more weeks of work and possibly become quite respectable as a family entertainment.
-
I'm up, I'm up. I slept long and well - the phone rang at 10:10 and that's when I woke up. I'm very groggy still, but I really needed the sleep.
-
A neighbor's dog, Molly, is coming over to spend the day with us, while her Mom goes to the theater. It's always fum to have Molly over, even though she's a pushy little corgi.
-
Not that our corgis aren't pushy, but Molly can be pretty demanding.
-
And one for Molly!

Sorry, couldn't resist that one!

Awww...that looks like Dylan was he was a little one.
-
I'm feeling better today - I think I know the path and I'm fine with the path, and I now shall come back to the world of merriment and mirth and laughter and legs.
-
I am now thinking about food, always a good sign. I didn't eat until ten-forty last night, which is ridiculous, and then I was so hungry I ate a little more than I should have.
So, today I think I'll eat early and be done with it.
-
This was too logical a point to believe that anyone actually copied this matter from HHW, but it is a sign that HHW is on the cutting edge: It was days ago that the question came up as to whether Newark is a little close to Broadway for NJPAC to be presenting THE PRODUCERS and HAIRSPRAY, and now that issue has been taken up on other sites. Again, it's a logical observation, but now that it's becoming the talk of some of the theater-related internet remember you read it here on HHW first.
-
FJL, there is no question it was seen here first - each and every theater website has people who read the notes and the discussion board here every day, and take what they want. Don't kid yourself into thinking it's a coincidence - it ain't.
-
Should I get to post #2100 while waiting for my tax-related appointment to arrive?
-
BK - Confidentially, I thought that was the case, but I didn't want to say it.
-
Is 2100 posts anything special on HHW?
-
Probably not, but...
-
I might as well get there. :)
-
2100 posts is a major event!
Isn't there a TV show called THE 2100?
Not to be confused with THE 700 CLUB.

Happy Birthday to our darling Danise, champion of champions!!!!!!!!

How 'bout an LP cover from the Rodzinski Collection?

Thanks for the perspective, Rodzinski.
I just thought that 2100 only signified the legal drinking age on HHW, but I guess there's a lot more to it.

I have decided on today's meal - a steak and a baked potato made by my very own self.

Steak is broiling now, baked potato is in the microwave. If I can take it easy on the butter for the baked potato, it will be a very not so caloric and protein-enriched meal.

Jennifer, I have been waiting for your comments on GHOST WHISPERER. I cried during several parts of the episode, but lost it completely at the end.
-
Good morning!
It rained for much of the morning, but it has stopped for the present. It's very cool and altogether yucky outside with more rain supposedly on the way.
A nice day to stay inside, do laundry, and watch movies. This is the plan.
Matt, could you stop by and do my laundry, also? I don't think I can manage to get it down the two flights of stairs.
-
Boy, can I clear a room, or what?
-
I don't know if it was the bad Daffy Duck pun, the request for help with the laundry, or the admission that I totally lost it during GHOST WHISPERER.
(This post recap sponsered by Sominex.)
-
I have had a delightful musical afternoon.
I began with the DVD of THREE LITTLE WORDS. It looks smashing, the best it's ever looked on video. There's a bit of solor instability during "Nevertheless," but otherwise, it's perfection. I also remembered how much I adore the romantic dance "Thinking of You" that Astaire and Vera-Ellen do, one of the great dance duets of all musicals, I think, because it's so unaffected and elegant.
-
Well, I guess I am officially an old man now. Yesterday I was issued my first Disabled Parking Permit
-
Matt, could you stop by and do my laundry, also? I don't think I can manage to get it down the two flights of stairs.
If I lived just a WEE bit closer, I wouldn't hesitate to do it. As is, well, I guess I could do it, and by the time I got it back to you, it probably would be dry without even putting it in the dryer.
:)

Matt, I have been very slowly savoring the last disk of FIREFLY. I know I still have the film to go, but I know already that I will miss all of these characters.
-
I also watched the documentary about the making of THREE LITTLE WORDS. Not very informative, but always nice to see Arlene Dahl, Carlton Carpenter, and Gloria DeHaven and know they're still around to talk about the MGM of old.
Those who were under contract there are leaving us, however, so I hope they've got plenty of interview footage with these folks so we can learn as much as possible before there's no one left to talk about life there.
And I guess folks like Debbie Reynolds wanted too much money to grant an interview for the DVD.
-

-
Matt, I have been very slowly savoring the last disk of FIREFLY. I know I still have the film to go, but I know already that I will miss all of these characters.
You had exactly the same reaction to it I had. I adored the show when it was being televised, was in agony when it was canceled without airing all the episodes that had been filmed, and then treasured each episode I watched in the boxed set.
The film SERENITY is quite wonderful but very bittersweet. I will say no more.
-
After enjoying THREE LITTLE WORDS so much, I decided I'd watch another 1950 musical, so I put in the laserdisc of TWO WEEKS WITH LOVE. Such a fun, easy-going musical treat, and Ricardo Montalban never looked sexier or more handsome in his life. Those tailored suits by Walter Plunkett fit him like a glove, and when he appears in that Prince getup for Jane Powell's fantasy number "My Hero," well, he is TO DIE FOR!
-
After watching that, I saw that there was another musical in that laserdisc sleeve (it was one of MGM's double feature laserdiscs), so I put in RICH, YOUNG, and PRETTY.
It looks glorious on laserdisc! I'm sure if it were ever to be transferred to DVD, it would look stupendous, but even with this transfer, it pops off the screen with glorious Technicolor and those charming songs.
Along with THE PIRATE, I LOVE MELVIN, LOVELY TO LOOK AT, SUMMER HOLIDAY, and TWO WEEKS WITH LOVE, I've now added RICH, YOUNG, AND PRETTY to my list of avidly requested MGM Technicolor musicals on DVD.
-

A very good friend of mine who owns a comic book store here in Tacoma, gave me my own Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds action figure. Unfortunately, he* is neither life-sized, or anywhere near as good looking as Nathan Fillion.
*He refers to the action figure and not to my friend.

I have always heard that he is a very nice person Cilla.

Comments on last Friday's season finale of GHOST WHISPERER.
Jennifer, I have been waiting for your comments on GHOST WHISPERER. I cried during several parts of the episode, but lost it completely at the end.
Just know you're not the only one who cried. IT was incredibly moving.
Does anyone know if Aisha Tyler is on contract for next season? I cannot imagine the show without her. I love the relationship between her and melinda, and between melinda and her husband.
My first thought (since i cannot imagine the show without andrea) is that she could perhaps stay in limbo (as a spirit) for next year.
My dad (who also watches the show) believes that the bad guy with the black hat will somehow bring her back to life. My dad thinks that the little girl was dead but brought back by the black hat guy.
Me, I think that the girl was not dead, but merely in a comatype state where you have the choice of coming back or not (i think i watch too many soaps).
I know GHOST WHISPERER is not that popular that spoilers would be around. but i really had no idea that the end was coming. And they did give a lot of clues. I mean a)they showed us the mother/daughter who had been in their car when the plane hit b)they showed only melinda talking to andrea, and c)andrea was wearing the same dingy clothes.
But it still did not occur to me. I didn't think that brother was dead either. ANd when melinda said he was outside, i thought perhaps he was dead. When he explained that he had taken a later flight I thought that HIS car had perhaps been hit by the plane (that it was his fate to die).
Yeah it was a very upsetting/moving show. I was in total shock.

There's a weekend fundraising fair going on at that Catholic school next to the church one street behind me. (I thought it was two streets when I mentioned it earlier - but it's just one!) They have a bandstand with horrible music (at least today it's country - Friday and yesterday it was blaring bad rock until 10 at night). Anyway, each night they end the thing with fireworks. And it sounds like it's in my backyard - which it almost is. I mean MAJOR fireworks. The noise is horrific - like canons and guns. And I have a bit of ye old post-traumatic stress from my childhood experiences. So loud noises like that totally undo me. Intellectually I know it's only fireworks, but emotionally I'm being shot at and i start to shake and cry. (No, I'm not crazy. It's real.) Anyway, I ain't the only one uncomfortable in this household. Poor Wonderdog (aka Abie) is petrified. I have to lie in the guestroom bed holding him until it ends each night. Well, actually, it's nice for both of us. I comfort him and he comforts me. That's how I've been spending the nights THIS weekend. the glamorous Hollywood life. La-di-dah! Tonight is the last night of the fair, thank goodness.

Good afternoon all!
Thank you for the wonderful birthday greetings both on and off the board!!!
I did do something special for myself today. I bought my Casio EX-Z850 Exilim video/digital camera. I can’t take any pictures today because the battery has to charge up but tomorrow….. Ahh tomorrow I will be giving it the test!
I took Bear to the dog park but it was kinda late and no other dogs were there. We didn’t stay for very long. Just long enough for the old man to get his feet muddy because he put his big feet into the little plastic pool they had there.
I think that did him some good. At least it got him out of the house and he had nice car ride. He’s been sleeping all afternoon. ;)
-
Congrats to DR Ginny! WoooHoo!
-
That is a very lovely rose, DR Tom. My Michael Crawford rose has two little buds on it and I shall be keeping an eye on them.
I can't wait to take pictures with the new camera.
-
I watched (or tried to watch) the Genesis Awards yesterday.
I found some of the stories cover disturbing. I know that kind of stuff goes on but it breaks my heart. :'(
-
Oh, Oz! What a lovely rose... I will always dream of my mother's rose garden, and remember how it felt to walk among those beautiful blooms. I wish you great joy with your flowers!!!
I couldn't resist finally going outside in the rain, to work on my own weed-adorned and slug ingested garden!!! I got so wet within about 15 minutes, that I had to come back inside. Now, for some reason, I have NO electricity... this means, of course, that the pump does not work so I am also without indoor running water, although there is plenty running in the stream just out the door...
I am about to light candles and have a dinner of raw carrots. Ah, the simple life. I feel just like Thoreau... sort of...
-
More later - I'm going to shut the computer down now, before I run down the battery. Laters, gators!
-
Man, is the WUSSBURGERING reaching epic proportions? I started watching Compulsion at 3:30, but by 3:35 I was zoning out, so I shut it off and just shut my eyes for a little while. Next thing I knew it was 4:30. The entire time I was out I dreamed I was lying on my couch like so much fish, and people were talking to me but I couldn't focus and my laptop was on the coffee table and a screen popped up that said there was a "hayman" (I kid you not) on some word and did I want to click the "UTL" to continue - I did, and it screwed up everything on my desktop and computer by making everything an icon and obliterating all text. Damn "hayman" will do it every time, so don't click on the UTL to continue. Of course, being in my present state of mind and knowing what path I'm about to perhaps (I'm still slightly in perhaps mode), I have assigned my own words to UTL rather quickly.
-
Okay - so the electricity came back on - I don't know if it will stay, but I'm glad of it, I tell ya', GLAD!! Oy, the months I spent with no electricity or indoor running water when I first got here... OY.
Anyway, nice nap, BK?

DR Penny, the rose is "Yester Year" and unlike so many "newer" roses, has a lovely perfume.

Sunday evening greetings! We had a lovely early Mother's Day luncheon with my mother, my DH's mother, and my aunt. After the meal, I took the ladies for a drive and did an errand on my way home. Fell asleep watching a silly movie, Life Aquatic, with DS Rob and woke up just in time to watch the second-to-last episode of West Wing.
No word from DR Elmore. And I was all prepared with chips, 2 kinds of salsa, and margaritas!

DR CILLALIZ meets Will and Jada!!
No, I didn't meet them, just saw them across the room. Much different
-
Congrats Dr Ginny!
-
Thanks for the travel vibes everyone. I am home and very glad to see the cats. Callie managed to knock a framed print off of the mantle (she's been dying to get up there because I tell her no) other than that no calamaties on their first time alone in this house
-
Well, I need to find something to eat. I am very happy to be home...
-
I don't think Callie eats well when I'm gone. Whenever I come home she runs straight to her food dish and eats and eats and eats
-
I taped the PBS special on Evelyn Cameron and am watching it. She was an amazing photographer!
-
It was a long 2 days, but as the newly-installed chair of the same event for next year (April 20-21, 2007, in Tiffin, OH), it won't be a hard act to follow ::)
;D Glad to know the pressure is off. I'm sure next year will be a big hit.
-
I rarely drink anymore, except when I'm with the people I've been with this week. I am so ready to go home and get some sleep!
Does this mean we won’t be going to the Algonquin for a late night-cap?
I’m sorry about your friend. It is extra hard to loose someone that way.
The Cuba Libre looks very nice. Boy, do I know what you mean about late dinners. I find it difficult to get to sleep & wake up feeling stuffed.
-
I forgot to mention in my sleepy stupor that I did indeed have a steak and a baked potato (and was very good with the butter - just two pats and I only ate half the potato). So, that was a good dietetic meal, and then, after my grogginess wore off, I jogged. I might even treat myself to a 0 fat gram little dessertstuff, say some red licorice, or some sour gummies or some Good and Plenty.

DR Maria - I only learned a few days ago that some of my relatives a few generations ago - crossed over to the dark side...... there are Catholics in the family. Family tree research can be quite scary.
That's okay, Tom. I have a great Aunt who converted and became a Seventh Day Adventist!
Keep forgetting to add my congrats to DR Ginny's pile.

I didn't say I NEVER drink, lol, of course I'd love to go for a night-cap at the Algonquin again. That was fun!
I wasn't as close to Bill as a lot of other people, so it wasn't as hard for me. It was a reminder for us that as busy as we are, we need to make sure we check in and take care of each other.
-
That steak and baked potato sounds very good. I think I'll see what I have in the freezer. The lack of decent food while traveling is a pet peeve of mine.
-

Good and Plenty has no fat! Hallelujah! Haven't had that in years. Used to be one of my faves.
I briefly had company this afternoon and made Trader Joe's "Prelude to a Quiche" assorted mini-quiche Hors D'Oeuvres. Mushroom & cheese; artichoke & cheese; and spinach Florentine. Very yummy. And easy. 15 minutes in the oven at 375 and they're done. Only problem is that when the company left, I ate all the little leftover quiches. (I threw one away for form's sake.)

MBarnum, oh so cute birthday card.
Tomovoz, beautiful rose.
TCB do you have an elevator in your building?

BK's post reminds me of a favorite ditty from my Yeshivah days:
Oh once there was a wicked wicked man,
And Hayman was his name, Sir.
He would have murdered all the Jews,
Tho they were not to blame, Sir.
CHORUS:
Oh today we'll merry merry be
Oh today we'll merry merry be
Oh today we'll merry merry be
And nosh some hamentashen.
And Esther was the lovely queen of King Ahashveyrosh
When Hayman said he'd kill us all,
Oh my how he did scare us.
CHORUS
But Mordechai her cousin bold
Said: "What a dreadful chutzpah
If guns were but invented now,
This Hayman I would shoot, Sir."
CHORUS
-
And one for Mordecai!

Count me in, too! We can be our very own Round Table.

Maria, while no where near as traumatic, there are certain breath smells that affect me emotionally. My mother would cover up the smell of alcohol with mouthwash. So oddly enough the smell of liquor is fine with me but certain mouthwashes, boy or boy. All I have to do is turn my head & the problem is solved, not so easy with fireworks.
Are you okay when you watch them? They are so beautiful & you can see the cause of the noise.

Nope, I am afraid not.

BK's post reminds me of a favorite ditty from my Yeshivah days:
Never attended a Yeshiva (and my name isn't Barbra) -- but in my acting days I was in a production of The Dybbuk. By the time I'd toured with the play all over Canada and a little in the US - I felt as if I HAD been to Yeshiva.

Are you okay when you watch them? [Fireworks] They are so beautiful & you can see the cause of the noise.
If I'm far enough away, it's quite nice. It's just that this is SO loud that it even set off car alarms on my street.
-
I don't usualy laugh out loud FJL. Just the appreciative smiles! Today LOUD. Thank you.
-
I wish I'd toured in THE DYBBUK rather than spend all those years in Yeshivah. :)
Just kidding, Yeshivah of Flatbush actually gave me a great education.
-
Rodzinski, tell Mr. Boorman I'm watching Leo the Last at last. And, thirty minutes in, he OWES me large.

TCB how long will it take after your surgery before you can walk stairs? What will you do about your laundry? I'm glad the "kids" are close by to fetch you food, etc.
Will Ann watch the babies while you are away?
-
Whoops. I had to go back and check some posts..
Congratulations DR Ginny.
-
Last night we watched the Genisis awards. I will admit we did speed through a few of the exceptionally difficult scenes. All & all it was excellent & we plan to watch next year. I think Keith cried more over the Katrina (a black lab) story than I did.
After watching clips from the Animal Planet special, Jane Goodall’s When Animals Talk, I have TIVO set to record it next it airs again.

Jane, after the hospital stay and the week in rehab, I should be able to return to my apartment. I will be able to do the stairs, it will just take me a lot longer on a walker. I have a dear friend who will come over and pick up my laundry for me when I first get home.
I am hoping that Jed and Ann will take care of the kids.
-
Thanks to DRs TCB, FJL, Tomovoz, Dan(the Man).
I have to work a 5-day week, starting early tomorrow - 'night!
-
I had steak and baked potato on Tuesday. But reading about it today has made me want it again. Have lunch plans tomorrow but maybe Tuesday again. We'll see.
-
I finished RICH, YOUNG, AND PRETTY, and on the end of the laserdisc was the theatrical trailer. It was an interesting one with David Rose (who was the film's music director) narrating and offering a preview devoid totally of superlatives and oversell. Quite refreshing to see this.

COLD CASE featured a story about an ER doctor who developed a gambling addiction. Very sad episode.
-
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Certainly quite a few surprises this week! Oh, my!
-
I am having steak and vegies in a matter of minutes and while eating steak and viegies I will be watching the Hammer Films THE KISS OF THE VAMPIRE...which I have never seen..watched BRIDES OF DRACULA ealier today...which I had also never seen...at least not the whole thing...I believe it was one of those films that as a kid scared the bejeepers out of me and so I never saw the whole thing.
-
And CROSSING JORDAN
spoiler - - - - - - -
featured the murder of Jordan's ex-lover for which she has been framed. It's the season finale which means, of course, there's a cliffhanger and a solution that will spill over into next season.
Thankfully, the show was renewed and will be back to finish the story! Only, at this point, we don't know what night of the week NBC will move it to. I'm guessing Friday at 10 p.m. next season, but that's purely a guess.

DR Ginny--don't thank me yet--I'm just getting to my congrats to you:

Please tell Mr. Boorman I have given up and wish I could have the hour I wasted back. Incoherent mess, beyond belief, especially after Point Blank. Everyone was clearly on drugs.
-
Speaking of baked potato, I am now going to bake in the Jacuzzi, after which I will have some sour gummies and watch a GOOD movie - Tarantula, which will be my third DVD of the day.
-
Have one gummy for me, Bruce. And a nice hot soak! Oh, you lucky stiff, you!
-
Now that I have some electricity, i might watch A NEW LEAF - I love that movie - Walter Matthau and Elaine May!
-
Or IN THE SPIRIT - also with Ms. May, and Marlo Thomas, and written by Ms. May's very talented daughter...
-
Not to be confused with A NEW LOAF, the movie with songs by Bread.
-
Boorman replies, "Aw gee, BK, don't be such a boor, man."
And I say, sorry you suffered, but sometimes you gotta suffer that others may not. I'll cross that one off the list of must-sees!
-
Off to bed now.
Good night, everyone!
-
Other than DELIVERANCE and POINT BLANK, I don't know what else Boorman brought to the table. Seems like there should be some more good ones in his oevre. I always enjoyed ZARDOZ, but I have to admit it is a psychotically weird movie.
And he's done some real painful errors like EXORCIST II and WHERE THE HEART IS.
I've never seen EXCALIBUR. HOPE AND GLORY is not bad. EMERALD FOREST okay.
-
MBarnum, have you ever seen THE MONOLITH MONSTERS?
-
2100 posts is a major event!
Isn't there a TV show called THE 2100?
Not to be confused with THE 700 CLUB.
Wasn't it a prequel to "The 4400?"
-

This is my new desktop wallpaper. ;D
-
Oh, it's the 4400 now is it? Guess they're letting ANYONE in.
-
Also, MBarnum, did you catch this?
Celebrated Bollywood composer Naushad Ali has passed away after suffering a heart attack in a Mumbai (Bombay) hospital. He was 86.

You know, they just don't make spelling bee movies like they used to.
They used to not make 'em at all. Now we get one every few months.

Alright, I'm up too late on a Sunday and babbling. Good night!

I like Hope and Glory just fine.

No copywrite on it George. I know the grower quite well.

BTW - the land slopes - not the photograher!

I figured that! ;) Actually, the trees in the background growing straight up, so it's obvious that the picture was taken with a steady hand. :)
-
Well, it's past time for me to go to the house where I'm house-and-cat sitting.
Have a good evening, Tomovoz. Good night, BK. :)
-
Nite George.. Glad you are feeling better.
