Well, you've read the notes, the notes were filled with coincidences, and now it is time for you to post until the coincidental cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: THAUMATURGY!
-
BK, I am loving the Notes Down Memory Lane. ;D
I wish I could remember things in my life with that kind of detail. ::)
-
Last night, I watched "Lost" and did not see that last scene coming! :o
I don't usually try to anticipate what might happen in a show or movie, so I was totally surprised.
-
Good morning, all! I was wide awake at 2 AM and, after tossing around for an hour, I decided around 3 to get up, bathe, and continue the concert work. So I'll work most of the day on Ron's charts, nap when I need to, and see if I can finish the megillah today. I'd like to get everything into Fed Ex by Friday night at 8 for a Monday delivery to Houston.
Whatever happened to Leland Palmer?
-
Topic of the Day: the only actual two-person shows that I can think of that I've seen are a local production of The Last Five Years a couple of years ago and the video of I Do! I Do! with Lee Remick and Hal Linden.
I suppose that a one-man version of "Hamlet" doesn't count. Or Romance/Romance, which is two one-act plays where the first act is basically two people and the second act is mainly two people.
-
Congratulations to DR Ginny on your new big Mac! :D
-
Great notes again, bk! :)
-
The only pne that I can think of is SLEUTH with Olivier and Caine.
-
BK:
The comedian Muledeer is Gary Muledear.
and I found out this about Debra Winger
She worked part-time in the local amusement park when she got thrown from a truck and suffered serious injuries and went temporarily blind for several months.
-
Good morning, all! Just to prove I read the Notes, here is a bit of Wiki on Winger:
...she was involved in an automobile accident and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage as a result. She was left partially paralyzed and blind for ten months, although she was initially told that she would never see again. With time on her hands to think about her life, she decided that, if she recovered, she would move to California and become an actress.
While pursuing that ambition, she shared a brief romantic kiss with Bruce Kimmel.
Yes, I added that last paragraph. Six days early.

Carrot Top agrees!

[ and he needs a haircut, too! Wink ]
What the h*** did he do to his face, It looks like he has a permanent surprise on his face!
He should have sued his plastic surgeon
Of course he may have wanted to look that. After all he is a comedian

Another enjoyable round of BK Note's!

Sleuth with Olivier and Caine

Sleuth is also part of an answer to a Trivia Question
What 2 films had the entire cast nominated for Academy Awards?
Sleuth is one.
Anyone know the other?

The Topic of the Day is a tough one. Of course, there is I Do! I Do!, as well as its progenitor The Fourposter, which I saw on TV in the early sixties with Jackie Cooper and Grimey Tamms. I swear I saw it, but the IMDB doesn't list it. They only list a 1964 TV version with Anne Haddy and Alistair Duncan and a Spanish miniseries. But I know I saw Jackie and Tammy do it. Hmmph!
Wiki mentions that it was done in 1955 on "Producer's Showcase", but the IMDB says in its episodes list that that was with Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. btw, an impressive list of plays were done on that show, including The Skin of Our Teeth, The Petrified Forest, Darkness at Noon, Peter Pan (original Mary Martin version), The Women, Cyrano de Bergerac, Bloomer Girl... Ah, to run the the Museum of TV and Radio, or whatever it is called and spend a week sequestered there. And I'd catch Evening Primrose while I was at it.
Has anyone seen Gurney's Love Letters? It played on Broadway with a constantly rotating cast of famous actors. And as a totally irrelevant footnote, the former chairman of our math department's son is married to Gurney's daughter.
There is always Krapps Last Tape, actually one character and his younger self on tape.

Good Morning - I have been getting a bit overwhelmed at work. they are very busy (which is a good thing in this market) and I have been there until 4:30 the past two days - when I get home I just collapse
-
The only 2 person show I can think of I cannot remmerb the title of... it was a movie with Alan Alda - it's a man and a woman , who are married to other people, who meet every year for 20 years or more and spend a weekend together
-
Oh, and 6 Rms Rivr Vu

In my Alphabetical Musicals Project I have finished A Class Act. Hearing it and A Chorus Line in the same week brought back a flood of '70s memories. Like walking through Shubert Alley at just the right time to hear the "One" finale through the thin walls of the Shubert. Or seeing Don Percassi with his dance bag on his way to the theatre and being too shy to stop him and tell him how much I loved the show--and maybe hit on him. Like hearing Ed Kleban play "Mona" (now in A Class Act) in workshop and the ho-hum reaction it received...
On the way to work it was Coco, and next up is Colette Collage. A happy alphabetic coincidence indeed.

Ah I found it : Same Time, Next Year

It's nice to be needed - I could work full time and stay an extra couple of hours and I would stillbe busy which is a woinderful thing and teh other ladies are thrilled that I have been coming and helpin gthem out ans they have been totally overwhlemed
Everyone is being very supportive and when I start looking tired they urge me to go home - I just feel bad leaving them with so much work to do
It is a great relief to see how busy the office is - I was desperately worried that my services would no longer be needed

Deb,
How is the sense of taste? Does orange juice still taste awful?

Worse and better. That's the long and the short of it. Worse symptoms, more push to overcome them.
And you?

Wow, it's nice to see DR TCB back here in the early morning! :)

Deb,

re: high school musical 3 being a feature film.
It's not weird since the franchise is so successful. But i guess it was interesting to me because the movies seem wonderful for tv, yet slightly less so for shelling out money at the theatre.
I guess maybe their target audience of 5-15 doesn't care if their parents shell out money.
I did enjoy the movie because of the choreography and interesting musical numbers. It just didn't seem enough to me though for the theatres.
-
I thought AMERICAN IDOL was very interesting last night.
*
*
To me there was one person who was a complete star, and that is my favorite, Adam. But wow, i do not think i would have recognized him!!!!
Interesting that they said less positive things about their two former favorites, Lil Rounds and Danny Gokey. And now they are huge champions of Matt Giraud.
I hope michael sarver goes (just never cared for him). But the judges were really hard on another of their past favorites, megan. I hope it's michael that goes over megan or scott.
The judges were also wild about alison again!

Good morning!
Another cold, gray day. It's been drizzling off and on this morning, but currently there is no rain. A bit foggy, though, and definitely not pleasant outside.
-
WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF is often listed as a movie in which the entire cast was nominated, but that's a mistake. The roadhouse manager where they stop and dance was not nominated, so VIRGINIA WOOLF doesn't qualify.
-
On TV TOnight!™
ABC - IN THE MOTHERHOOD, SAMANTHA WHO?, GREY'S ANATOMY, PRIVATE PRACTICE
NBC - comedies, ER
CBS - NCAA Basketball semifinals
FOX - IDOL results, HELL'S KITCHEN
CW - SMALLVILLE, SUPERNATURAL

What wonderful notes. Dinah and her New Friends! I think there is a book there somewhere.

TOD:
The Zoo Story is probably my favorite.
-
My little experiment with the wireless keyboard has come to an end. I don't know if the level where I had the keyboard was causing it to malfunction or if I just couldn't strike the keys with firmness, but I kept having typing errors that weren't my fault. (I admit readily that I'm a miserable typist, but I don't often make mistakes with spaces between words, and the space bar was consistently not registering when I struck it.) I thought maybe the batteries were weak, but switching them out last night had no effect on the keyboard's accuracy, so I put it away and went back to a corded keyboard. I like the strike feel and "clicky" quality of this keyboard much better anyway.

The UPS truck passed right by my door this morning, so I guess there are no review discs in the offing, at least not for now. There is another delivery in the afternoon, so perhaps something will arrive then. Otherwise, I'll have another free day.
I will watch the rest of ON THE OTHER HAND DEATH (which I'm watching for the second time)
I will watch another NCIS episode.
I'd like to watch another gay-themed movie, perhaps SHELTER from last year.
-
Thursday morning greetings! It's a very gloomy day here in SW Ohio. I'm still bonding with my new MacBook. Tonight my book group is meeting to discuss Amy Stewart's Flower Confidential: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful.
-
With UGLY BETTY gone for awhile and no BONES tonight, this frees up a little time to watch other things. I have three shows from last night on the DVR, and I'll still have to watch GREY'S ANATOMY "live" since there are shows on two other networks at 9 which will need to be recorded. Then, at 10, I get my own time back and can watch something already recorded either from last night or earlier this evening.

After reading so many wonderful comments here on HHW, I watched the (now canceled) LIFE ON MARS last night, and I liked it very much.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I've already had a production meeting. Which I probably didn't need to be at since I had no "technical-musical concerns". But at least it got me out of the apartment before 9:00am... And since I have a rehearsal at Noon, well... Ah, well.
*But, at least the rehearsal at Noon is a catch-up rehearsal for my "favorite" cast member. ;)
-
DR Jose - I got a white MacBook that looks just like Richard's on the outside. It's a little fancier on the inside, mostly because it's almost 3 years newer. I looked at the new aluminum machines, but they're more expensive and I wanted to add some goodies, like more memory, iWork, MobileMe, and AppleCare. I could do that with the lower-priced base and only exceed my price-range by a couple hundred dollars. This morning I've installed iWork and configured my email. Next up - installing the printer and figuring out how much I want to transfer from my old computer to this new one.
-
And I can certainly imagine watching a Shirley MacClaine moving and having the time to notice the set dressing.
-
I watched the (now canceled) LIFE ON MARS last night
Have you seen the Norwegian horror knock-off, KNIFE ON LARS?
-
I have my plane reservation here at the office and at 1:30 I will check in on-line for tomorrow's flight. Since Anthony is not around I will go to the airport early tomorrow (Newark Air Train) and sit and read my book until the flight leaves. It's supposed to be a beautiful day and I'll spend it sitting in an airport (my choice, though).
-
JRAnd, glad you enjoyed LIFE ON MARS. Now you must ketchup with the episodes that you have missed.
-
I cannot think of any two person movies (or plays) that I have seen...the closest I can come to is the 3 person movie THE LAST WOMAN ON EARTH.

Looking at the list I just listed, I'm "reminded" of just how many plays and musicals I saw while I was in high school - and most them were at Arena Stage, with a good chunk them done as thesis projects for directing and acting majors at Virginia Commonwealth University.
-Oh, and I've also read, but not seen Tennessee Williams' two-character play, The Two Character Play.

I think it's more along the lines of the Mystery of "how can Hollywood make such crap??" :D

OK... Time for rehearsal...

I forgot.
I also saw LOVE LETTERS w/Leonard Nimoy & his wife
And, speaking of Tennessee Williams' THE TWO-PERSON PLAY, I handled the publicity for the 99-seat production that was done in Los Angeles during the 1970s. It starred Scott Wilson & Dorothy Tristan, directed by her husband, John Hancock. Fred Karlin did the music.
Williams came into down to supervise the production.
The stories I could tell....

Perhaps I will take a stroll before getting on the Air Train.
Pictures will be taken I'm sure but they won't be posted until early May when Anthony returns.
I went home for lunch a bit earlier than usual. As I was eating my egg salad sandwich I turned on The View and who should be the guest but the amazing Angela Lansbury. It was a short interview but funny and sweet and charming. She was promoting Blithe Spirit and she did a bit of the little conjuring dance she does in the show. They also showed a clip from Manchurian Candidate.
It was a good lunch.

Naturally, the London Promises was the first thing I went after - MGM doesn't have the rights to license it and they don't know who does because all this stuff is sometimes very convoluted - I explained that UA was a major investor, and that UA paid for the album and that MGM actually has the album masters in hand here in the States, but if they don't have the paperwork that tell them they have the licensing rights they can't license - frustrating, but that's the story. I've tried twice in the last two months, but the Promises door is shut.

Last night I watched the official DVD release of SIMON KING OF THE WITCHES starring Mr Andrew Prine and Ms Brenda Scott (both late of The Monroes tv series). Mr Prine and Mr Bruce Kessler the director were interviewed for separate features.
Mr Prine said that he enjoyed working on the film and had a few stories as did Kessler. Both wondered what happened to blond co-star George Paulsin who they were fond of. Paulsin is a funny looking kid who had an sweet quality they said....
Well they need to get onto the internet. Mr Paulsin is the younger brother of High Republican Fund Raiser Georgette Mossbacher. The few recent photos of him show that he looks much the same, only several pounds heavier.....
Here is a clip of SIMON.....Mr Paulsin shows up at around the 3 minute mark.

Same Time Next Year. It was done on Broadway with a constantly rotating cast.
The show that my late Uncle invested in heavily, expecting a nice tax write-off, only to be dismayed when it was one of the biggest hits of the year. (Bernie Slade was an old friend). Kind of a reverse Producers thing.

Wondering if any of our Portland DRs have ever been to Rimsky-Korsakoffeehouse? :)
Many a time and I know Goody the owner quite well. I won't spoil the surprise waiting for you when you visit the upstairs bathroom.

I am now checked in for my flight to Madison.
I have a meeting in 2 hours and 10 minutes. The meeting will probably take an hour and then I'm gone.

Re: ZOO STORY. I played Jerry in a long-running production whilst in high school that we took all over the place and which garnered me a stack of acting awards. We had to do it for some kind of regional competition at BYU and they had script approval, of course. All I'll say is that that huge monologue in the middle turned out to be about three and a half sentences by the time they were through. :)

Back from a brisk long jog and shall now shower and then be on my way to luncheon at Langer's. Luncheon At Langer's - that's the title of my next novel.

LightLife has just come out with some very nice looking Smart Stuffers, including a veggie "chicken" cordon bleu I'm about to try. Mmmm.

It's tasty, though shouldn't be microwaved for as long as they recommend (this first try was a bit al dente, which things get if microwaved too long).

Have you seen those LOLCATS? They're hilarious.

I've seen this movie, also! Add it to my list. :)

"...the lifespan of a DVD varies from 5 to 100 years."
I love science.

I've been meaning to mention for a day or two, for you fans of unusual animated fare, get any and/or everything by (are you ready?) Michel Ocelot. I just reviewed his AZUR AND ASMAR and was blown away by the visuals.
-

Yep, them's the ones! They're funny, but the fractured English drives me mad.
[And no cracks about it being a short trip!]

Add it to my list.
You've got a little list? ;)

I love science.

In fact, the men in the white coats owe you their livelihood! ;D

JRAnd, glad you enjoyed LIFE ON MARS. Now you must ketchup with the episodes that you have missed.
That may be a lost cause.
season 1 is already schedule for DVD release!

BK, how long is the Donald Anya show up? Is it just up for a week or will it be available longer. In all the rush at work I forgot about it until I checked today. I don't know if I'll have a chance to listen to it this week, especially since I won't be in the home environment. If it's up next week as well I'll be fine.
-
DR MBarnum: Have you ever met the woman who is the love child of Loretta Young and Clark Gable?
I don't believe so.
-
Anya will only be up this week, I think. I'm at Langer's very early. Maybe I'll take a photograph.

And everyone should listen to the radio show and tell us what you think.

The Zoo Story is probably my favorite.
I've seen this also.
And the one time that I went to New York I saw "Robeson" with Avery Brooks and Ernie Scott. In-freakin'-credible! ;D

Still waiting for DR LAURA.

The one suggestion concerning the event was incorrect.

Andrew Prine married an obnoxious young lady from Oxford, OH, who did summer theatre with me in 1968; she played Kim in the rock-bottom, all-time nadir version of BYE BYE BIRDIE. She was a Talawanda high school girl who thought she was sexy and an actress. I've always wondered how she cornered Andrew.
DR Ben, have a safe trip and a wonderful time!
I love GREATER TUNA and TUNA CHRISTMAS; Joe and Jayston are fantastic guys.

Perhaps I will take a stroll before getting on the Air Train.

I turned on The View and who should be the guest but the amazing Angela Lansbury.

Instead of working? Probably while grading, actually.

Good Afternoon!
I had a most enjoyable lunch at Five Loaves Cafe (http://www.fiveloavescafe.com). I ordered a soup and sandwich combo. For my soup: Tuscan Red Pepper, Chickpea and Olive. For my sandwich: The Parker. All very yummy! And somewhat of a bargain at $7.75.
However, what made the lunch truly "most enjoyable" was the company. I ended up heading over there with our stage manager and two cast members. Lots of dish, dish, Dish!
-
OH! Carrot Cake!
:)

They released the contingency plans for evacuation...

Well, I hit the mother lode as far as mail deliveries. No, no review discs at all, but I got the Blu-ray Bonds (and will probably watch QUANTUM OF SOLACE tonight) and all five of the Warner Archive selections I ordered on Sunday. The widescreen movies that I chose are marked as being anamorphic so that's a great relief making them better than I could have burned for myself with my own DVD burner off TCM.
If I have time tonight, I may put one in just to look at the transfer quality and to make sure it plays in my DVD players.

DR MattH - I await your thoughts on "Quantum of Solace".
-
It drizzled some more while we were at lunch, but for now, the rain has moved out though we still have a gray cloud cover. That's not supposed to leave us for two more days.
-
When I got in from lunch, I watched the last two episodes on the first disc in the second season set of NCIS. Both good episodes, but the killer was very obvious in the second episode, and there was a lot of slapstick bumbling with Tony which I wasn't in the mood for.
The first was the better of the two episodes about a family feud in West Virginia that dragged a Marine helicopter pilot into it. Not much mystery but a more exciting episode.
-
Then, I watched today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Luke, Noah, and Luke's real father were in the spotlight today. Interesting new story arc. You know that he's up to no good, but I'm thinking he needs that foundation money and is somehow going to trick Luke to give it to him.
-
I ended the afternoon watching one more IDOL performance from last night. Anoop did OK with his song, but he did hit a few sour notes with that falsetto crooning. Still, there was a sweet tone to his voice, and some of it was rather pretty.
-
Less than 41 vibes for DR DAKOTA CELT.
So who is this person playing in the show, DR JOSE?
-
So who is this person playing in the show, DR JOSE?
He plays - in order of costume (change) - the Blind Violinist; Kevin, the costume designer; a Stormtrooper/Heil-Lo/Nazi; a Prisoner (of Love).

The Party Campus of the Midwest if tales are true.
One of my dear friend's sister is the Executive Director of the
Madison Children's Museum (http://www.madisonchildrensmuseum.org/)
and on Tuesday we will have lunch with her and then see the Museum. Since we cannot go to Ten Chimneys this will be a good replacement. After the museum, depending on how much time we have we may visit the State Capitol.
I leave from Madison on Tuesday at 6pm

Sorry. I was out hiking on this beautiful day.

I got one of those external hard drives in the mail today, too, and I'm going to install it now and then head downstairs for more viewing.

So many pages of notes already!
-
TOD: Two of my favorites are "Same Time, Next Year" and "Love Letters."
I think "Love Letters" is great if nothing else for its sheer wisdom. A two character play (actually a reading); pay good many to bring in names; no sets, no costumes; no actual memorization needed as the lines are being read. Make money. Go to bank.
-
Um. No.

Margaret Shelby an erstwhile minor Hollywood actress with her career mostly behind her, had at age 27 been courted and married a relative of yours, Hugh Fillmore (grandson of Millard C. Fillmore) in 1926.

Hello all! I worked until 3:30 today. When I was drving home saw the Vixter walking home from school. So I picked her up and since we were both hungry we went to the locla pizza parlor and each had a slice of pizza.
I had to cut mine witha knife and fork and it took nearly 45 minutes to eat but it was GOOD!!!
-

Very interesting association here, but I have to ask if there is an inspiration for a "Chinatown" plot device here. Was Charlotte REALLY Margaret's "sister and mother"? (i.e,. "My sister, my daughter, my sister, my daughter")

When we got home I found in my mailbox the DVD of Forget Me Not Lane!
So I shall be leaving you all to view said DVD!

I had a stomach ache all day today. I had a lot of work to do and since Edith was only there for the morning (visitation/funeral stuff rest of week). I went in to work. When I finished my last hearing at 2:30 I was in real pain. (I had on a new suit and great shoes so I looked great, just didn't feel too hot) so I came home. I ate some bland food and drank some water with baking soda in it. I am on the recliner in a blanket. I'm feeling a little better.

JRand, did you buy BOLLYWOOD HORROR COLLECTION vol. 1 when it came out a few years back?
Volumes 2 and 3 are out next week and in May, respectively. I loved volume 1 and although I have seen 3 of the 4 films in the next two volumes (viewed on VCDs with no subtitles) I eagerly await them as they are great, campy fun (and one of the films actually scare the bejeebers out of me a couple of times).

Margaret's sister was the lovely Mary Miles Minter and her mother Charlotte Shelby - who many people believe to have been the perp in the case.
One of the sad stories of my life:
Back in the 1970s, I was doing research for a book on the Taylor murder. Among the people that I interviewed were Mary Miles Minter, Adela Rogers St. Johns and King Vidor.
I met Mr. Vidor at his home office, and he suggested that we collaborate on the book, since he had also been researching the case and had, in fact, been give access to the police files. [After all, he was a famous director.]
I spoke to Adela Rogers St. Johns about this and she said, "What do you need him for?"
Being young, foolish and with an enlarged ego, I listened to her and turned Vidor down.
A few years later, a writer names James Kirkpatrick did strike a deal with Vidor, and the result was the best-selling A CAST OF KILLERS, probably the definitive book on the Taylor murder.
My book was gone with the wind.

I have re-reading most of your notes from the couple of weeks or so. I didn't realize until reading for the second time that the notes neglected to mention something.
From Round Every Corner
You talk about working on film that you took over the director's chair.
The title was missing which was Prime Suspect
and the name of your pseudonym which was Mark Rutland.
Where did you get the name Mark Rutland from and why didn't you use Alan Smithee?

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I've already had a production meeting. Which I probably didn't need to be at since I had no "technical-musical concerns". But at least it got me out of the apartment before 9:00am... And since I have a rehearsal at Noon, well... Ah, well.
*But, at least the rehearsal at Noon is a catch-up rehearsal for my "favorite" cast member. ;)
What's her name?

FIRE AT THE GROVE - about the burning of the Coconut Grove night club
THE SINKING OF THE EASTLAND - America's Forgotten Tragedy
Those pesky links when you order a book always try to make you buy another one.
AND - I made a discovery....DR LAURA is linked to one of Hollywood's most enduring mysteries.....information later today.....
Jack, have you ever read COLLISION COURSE about the sinking of the Andrea Doria?
Samuel Goldfarb, who tutored me for my bar mitzvah, was a passenger on the Andrea Doria.
So was, I believe, actress Ruth Roman.

Of course Idol went over AGAIN. Maybe only 2 minutes this time.
But with the judges having a vote after the lowest votegetter is announced it makes the show even longer!
-
I must say I perhaps enjoy taking the wind out of self-important egotistic idiots' sails a bit too much. ;)

They just raised the crest to 43 feet... *&*&^%% !!!!!
:o NNOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! :P
It can't be THAT bad for her...she's still sitting there typing instead of headin' for the hills!
True. :)
The situation in Fargo is very serious. She may be taking breaks from helping with the sandbagging or something.

Indeed she was a passenger.

I've just cancelled my order for the Blu-ray "South Pacific". Have learned they only processed Disc 1, the theatrical version (i.e., the chop job they did on the original roadshow version). Disc 2, except for an upgraded "extra" or two, is identical to the splendid SD DVD I bought (and raved about) last fall.
I have no interest in ever watching the "butchered" version of this film again.
Sigh!

Vibes and prayers to DR DAKOTA CELT and all of the people of North Dakota.

EXTRA SPECIAL WISHES FOR EVERYONE.

listened to another artist's choice cd, Joni Mitchell-music that matters to her. also really really good.
she was all I listened to in the late 60's / early 70's (I had several friends that lived in Laurel Canyon and hung out there almost every weekend, and then later moved there for a year or so.)
good times.
to be young again.
-
and then I listened to Guy Haines, Haines his way. will never stop listening to this one.

Time for me to leave work.
Be back later!

I've had a very full evening of filmed and televised entertainment.
I began with QUANTUM OF SOLACE. This is the James Bond film made for a generation of ADHD chilren. A series of action set pieces one after another with a plot between that was rather poorly written. The stunt work is excellent, and it's less than two hours so a much easier film to sit through quickly than CASINO ROYALE. This is Bond stripped down to the basics in every way possible: there was one quip, a tiny bit of lovemaking, and lots and lots of action scenes.
Oh, yes, and one of the guys Bond is hunting is named Guy Haines.
I'll have to watch this again in about a week to see if my opinion changes. I did like CASINO ROYALE more the second time I watched it.
The Blu-ray had magnificent video quality, really reference level quality, I thought. The DTS-HD MA sound seemed a little underpumped for such an action-filled spectacle.
-
Next I put in one of the Warner Archive discs I got today: THIS WOMAN IS DANGEROUS with Joan Crawford, David Brian, and Dennis Morgan. The picture quality was very good; the sound was a bit hissy and crackly. Still, it is better quality than I would have gotten by recording it off TCM without the TCM corner "bug" and there's a trailer on there, too.
I got about 40 minutes of it watched before stopping it. I'll finish it tomorrow.

I agree with Laura. It's very bad and we have asked her to keep us informed. I'm glad she's stopping by to let us know.

Next, I finished watching IDOL from Wednesday night. Adam had far and away the most haunting vocal performance, really in a class by itself this week. Allison was OK though I heard bum notes from her and Danny. Very disappointed in Lil, too. It was a real off night for her on a night when she should have been able to blow everyone else out of the water.
-
everyone was talking about, Forget Me Not Lane, so I ordered a copy.
I did not win the lotto again.
-
Thanks for the vibes. It took a hot fudge sundae and some malted milk easter eggs but I feel much better. I suppose the Tums and the Gas-X may have had something to do with it, too.
-
hello everyone.
Cillaliz, I'm glad you're feeling better. I think it was the hot fudge sundae and malted milk Easter eggs.
must go pay bills, see you later.
-
Then I skimmed through the results show.
I was horrified that Megan was not one of the bottom three. I guess folks are giving her the benefit of the doubt since it was obvious she was still under the effects of the flu, but she was really bad.
I shed no tears for the person send home; he wasn't going to win anyway and wasn't a really strong singer. He was not a wild card person, though, so the public's non-support was a bit of a surprise.
-
GREY'S ANATOMY had me in tears a couple of times. Good episode.

I agree completely. I was concerned that the subject of Izzy would be overdone as they sometimes do, but it wasn't and I thought the entire episode was really good
-
Thanks, DR Sam.
-
I'm surprised that chocolate worked, Cillaliz, but very glad for you.
-
Hello from Thailand. We are working on bits of "The Small House of Uncle Thomas" this evening. Lots of time to catch up on posts and such :)
-
At 10, I went back to the DVR and watched tonight's SUPERNATURAL. What a delightful episode!
Yes, delightful! Lots of fun to see the boys in other guises.
And their pseudonyms: Smith and Wesson! BIG LAUGH!
-

Well...there were the Tums and the Gas-X.....
-
I prefer to think it was the chocolate.

I prefer to think it was the chocolate.
It is *always* the chocolate!

I'm heading downstairs to bed now.
Good night!

Me too!!

Time to get some sleep. Tomorrow is a relaxed day, but still a work day...night

I haven't a problem with being kept informed.
I get the impression from some posts, however, that a few readers believe she's only inches from being swept away even as she types. I believe she'll be evacuated before that happens.
A first-hand account of her worries and observations about such terrible conditions, and efforts to circumvent them, is not an issue with me.

I have re-reading most of your notes from the couple of weeks or so. I didn't realize until reading for the second time that the notes neglected to mention something.
From Round Every Corner
You talk about working on film that you took over the director's chair.
The title was missing which was Prime Suspect
and the name of your pseudonym which was Mark Rutland.
Where did you get the name Mark Rutland from and why didn't you use Alan Smithee?
Mark Rutland is Sean Connery's character's name in Marnie. I had to use a pseudonym because it was a non-DGA show and I'm DGA.
-
I'm quite tired, but I have a not too difficult day tomorrow.
-
finally saw pictures on the news from Fargo, hope DakotaCelt is OK, and her friends and neighbors too.
-
I just watched and reviewed the extremely creepy UK telefilm FALLEN ANGEL.
-
funny story: my friend who has a home in Oregon, got a speeding ticket 102mph on the coast hwy, is now back in LA to start a movie on Monday. They revoked his license, and his wife is driving him to location every day for a week. He was worried about being too old for the cast and crew of this movie, but I think this will take care of that.
-
good night all.
-
hi George.

I will don my curmudgeon's cloak for a moment and say that 102 mph on Oregon's 101 is INSANE!! It is a tiny, two-lane highway for most of its length, with sheer cliffs on one side. Your friend needs to think about the other drivers on the road.
-
hi JMK, that's what the judge said. 102 is not speeding, I believe the charge is reckless endangerment?
-
p.s. you're not a curmudgeon

I'm not sleepy, I ate too many strawberries today, I'm happy.
-
I believe Chitty was reissued by Varese sans dialogue.
Yes, it was and the remastering sounded better too!
However, the previous sound bites were so short that they were hardly a nuisance really!
Varese also re-released TOM SAWYER ...

New notes a'comin'.
