And the word of the day is: COSSET!Casey would COSSET
I wish the festivals did show trailers, but then they wouldn't be able to schedule as many films as they do. I guess they figure people will come because of the write-up in the program. I've been fooled many a time by a glowing description.
I just added some more credits to our Sacco and Vanzetti listing at imdb and noticed that now we have enough votes for it to have a rating. (You need 5.) Two old geezers (45+) gave it the lowest rating they could. I wonder if they have even seen the film?
I will watch for the FG spots - since now I know someone who worked on them!
Maybe it's just because you're sweet.....or salty I know the Hebrew name is Sarah, after my late aunt, but foolishly, I was so thrilled that the Hebrew name was for my late aunt that I can't remember the young girl's English name.Sounds as if the reading went well.
DR ADRIANA PATTI's photo shows us that the Man quotient in BFPX is certainly very high on the thermometer!
Now I must go through my collection of cocktail dresses to find something to wear to a wedding next weekend. Hopefully something still fits!
So much for the not doing anything portion of the morning. I've been on the phone with our publicist for thirty minutes, making changes to his press release.
...we did pick out an assortment of holiday crafts to make.
The temps are dropping. Yesterday was still fairly nice. I like it best when the snow stays on the mountains.
What's going on in Iraq right now is sectarian violence between rival Moslem sects. The more of each other they kill without our help the better. It has always been that way with the Moslem hordes -- population thinning eventually quiets them down and they go back to lying, cheating, and stealing in their traditional bronze age ways.
Many of us have learned the hard way with long postings that have been lost - before you push "post" it is best to highlight the post and do a control C (or whatever your shortcut is to cut-and-paste) - then if you lose it, it's just a simple control V and it's back.

I'm off to my sister's to do more house stuff. :P

LOS ANGELES — Basil Poledouris, who composed the Emmy-winning score for the 1989 television miniseries "Lonesome Dove" and the opening fanfare for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, has died. He was 61.
Poledouris died of cancer on Wednesday at his Los Angeles home, according to Hanna Pantle, a spokeswoman for the performing rights organization BMI.
In the 1980s and 1990s, his rousing orchestral scores added heft to a raft of thrillers, including "Starship Troopers" and "The Hunt for Red October" as well as romantic features such as "Les Miserables" and "The Blue Lagoon."
In all, he composed for more than 80 movies and TV shows.
"He was one of the truly great movie composers. His music had tremendous emotion, a certain kind of nobility," director John Milius told the Los Angeles Times.
Milius hired his surfing buddy and University of Southern California classmate to score several movies, including "Conan the Barbarian" and "Red Dawn."
Last summer, Poledouris directed a concert version of the 1982 "Conan" score at a film music conference in Ubeda, Spain. He considered the experience a career highlight, said Doreen Ringer Ross, a BMI vice president who worked with him more than 20 years.
Born in Kansas City, Mo., Poledouris grew up in Garden Grove. He took film scoring classes at USC from famed film composer Miklos Rozsa. He scored more than 100 educational films before breaking into features.

The birds.
I love them so much.
They are the only wildlife
I get to see any more.
Ah, me, free as a bird.
At one time, I used to break into
pet shops to liberate the canaries
but I decided that was an idea
way before its time.
Zoos are full,
prisons are overflowing.
Oh, my, how the world still...

Is Cat Stevens in the background?
der Brucer
Yes he is. ;D
I saw this movie on a double bill with Judge Roy Bean one Saturday evening at the CenterBrook drivein in 1970. I went back every night for the next six (until they changed the bill) to see it....usually taking a different person with me. Although my brother Dane saw it a couple of times (it was summer time, no school).
One of my favorites...then and NOW. :D
Back from a jog - difficult again, but, you know, we do it. Have the other little business thing to do at twelve-thirty, which I'm hoping won't take more than thirty minutes, then I'm FREE.Mr. Bruce, I'm wondering if you can still bust a move like you did in FNM.

Bought a new computer yesterday.
Exciting news isn't it! ;D
Love those fall photographs. Keep 'em comin'!
If the understanding is that they won't get any money from the festival. do you see a problem as long as non-participation in profits is stated upfront?
In some spots, it's over:

...I also scored, to my mind another shopping coup. Steve's Super G was selling all their remaining Halloween costumes at 95% off!...der BrucerFor those who were left scratching their heads on this one, the "S" in S. Woody White is the initial for Stephen.
I am now curious about the arrangements (business, not artistic) for this Film Festival. They have Government, Foundation and Business sponsorships. They are charging $8.50 a ticket, even for the afternoon showings. They had sold out 27 showings as of last night. Two of the shows we saw were not sold out, but only had a handful of seats left. If every visitor only bought one ticket, they would have a week-end gate of well over $250,000!Time to nit-pick. The festival had sold out fifty-seven of their screenings, not twenty-seven.
I know the Festival does a lot of good work in the community - but just wonder how much of the loot finds its way back to the film creators? The Festival organization itself seems to be going great guns - they have full time year-round paid staff and are in the process of starting a building fund to erect a permanent facility to house their offices and film collections.
I must also comment that the entire Festival was one of the best organized events I have attended in many a moon (due in no small part to the host of volunteers at work.) They had taken over most of the 16 stage theatre complex and there was ample free parking.

Business is done (and took longer, natch), so now it is time to RANT:Oh, you mean they all drive like they would if they were living in Delaware?
For the last three days I have never seen so much driving stupidity in my life. I thought I'd seen it all, but either there's a full moon or driver's have completely lost their sanity, in least here in LA. People running lights, people not stopping at stop signs (doing the California Roll right through - and when you honk they give YOU a dirty look), people pulling out in front of you sans warning, people trying to turn and beat oncoming cars - I mean, one idiot after another, endangering their and other's lives. People so involved in their cell phone calls that they have no idea where they're driving, so they have to do last-minute dangerous lane changes because they realize they need to go right and not left - so, they DO the dangerous lane change and others be damned because they're STILL on their cell phone yakking away instead of paying attention to what they're doing. Cars are dangerous enough without fools like that on the road and frankly I'd rather have them go home and blow their own brains out than potentially cripple and maim and kill other innocent people with their selfish driving stupidity. Today, aside from all of the above happening (within a fifteen minute drive), the topper was the cretin in front of me who was driving down and empty one lane street (no passing him) going five miles an hour. No amount of honking could get him to speed up. When I finally was able to pull beside him what did I see? I saw a driver eating a pizza, leaning over the box in the passenger seat with a dripping slice going into his ugly, stupid mouth. EATING A PIZZA WHILE DRIVING! I honked to let him know what I thought of him, but the pig didn't hear it, so engrossed in his gobbling was he. If I were a different person, I would have pulled in front of him, stopped, and gotten out of my car and had a little conversation with him.
End of rant.
It would be if you told us more about it. Desktop? Laptop? PC or Mac? flatscreen monitor or traditional CRT?
Did your other computer die or did you just want to upgrade?

Kitty Kachina is eating normally and resting today. 8-)
I know isn't Bruce just soooo sexy!
There is a scene in The Mentor when a young couple is having a spat; the lass spits out "I may be the younger one in this relationship, but you're the child". The guy reacts with a sarcastic "Bravo" accompanied by a few hand-claps. The problem is the camera is close up on her for her lines, and we hear the first hand clap right before she finishes and we cut to him .
Blame the editor?

Good showing, I say.
Gratuitous post #8000.
For those who were left scratching their heads on this one, the "S" in S. Woody White is the initial for Stephen.
I much prefer Woody, a nick given me during college.
This is absolutely one of my all-time favorites, and the film that made me want to become an editor. (altough I didn't know it at the time...)
Bud Cort was in "The Life Aquatic" BTW. Even he couldn't keep my interest up!

It was time
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES ramped up the melodrama tonight as we found out interesting things about Orson's mother (the wonderful Dixie Carter) and Lynette found out something that seems hideously disturbing about the new neighbor.
And any time Richard Burgi returns to the show, even for one too brief scene, it's a cause of celebration for me.
Cilla - Were you the one talking about STRIKING 12? It's opened in NY and got a love letter from the NY Times.
DR SWW thanks for the DREAMSHIP precis.....I was hoping you guys would get to see it.
Subtitles and all.
At his current rate, George could make 10,000 posts while the turkey still has its head :D

Wow! Those look incredible! And incredibly expensive.
