Td we enjoyed the movie as always. Have you done research into Lawrence’s life? Did he really go a bit mad during that time? From what we can tell he was fine once he returned home.
TCB - I see you're still online, at least at the moment. Please let us know how things are going for you before you lose interent access for awhile. You have been on my mind a lot in the last few days, and I send many many good vibes your way.

And I've always thought Waltz of the Toreadors would be fun as a musical - I actually began trying to do it in the early seventies, but didn't get very far.
I'm Dan (the Man) and I approved of this post.
SWW are they replacing the table for you or are you now on a hunt for a new one? We rarely buy things that need construction, especially furniture. It seems the furniture store should have assembled the table to make sure there wasn’t a problem.The store that sold us the table is having the center column replaced. Everything else is exactly as it should be, and the table top was ordered specially to match our countertops, a shade of faded denim. Dave, the store owner, told us that he used to have problems with this particular manufacturer before, but that they'd gotten their act together up until this shipment. The table was sent along with a large order of barstools, which were supposed to swivel and didn't. (Gee, a few drinks would solve that problem!) That our table order was botched at the same time gives Dave that much more ammo to volley at the manufacturers.
CAPRICE was the last movie shot in the original CinemaScope process, just so ya know.So, every time this site goes into CinemaScope, we can blame it on Caprice?
Wait a minute....didn't we get a new HHW God yesterday?No, not exactly.
I always hate changing the clocks ahead. It takes me about a week to adjust my internal clock to the new time--I want to stay up an hour later and then I suffer in the morning. And the first day always seems like the longest day in the year. With today's awful weather here in Philly, it's going to feel longer than usual.
Yesterday I attended the first game held in the Philadelphia Phillies' new ballpark named (ugh!) Citizens Bank Park. For watching the game, the place can't be beat--there's not a bad seat in the joint. Even as you move through the other areas around the concession stands or the rest rooms, there is always a view of the field. If there is one thing wrong with the place, it's that it seems to lack any kind of defining character--architecturally, it's on the bland side and doesn't reflect any kind of Philly flavor. But aside from that, there's a real grass field, a great deal of the seating is at field level, and a feeling of wide-open space that was sorely lacking in the late and unlamented Verteran's Stadium. It's a real pleasure watching a game there.
PennyO - Had I not been in a semi-timecrunch getting to Lynnwood on Friday, I would have loved to meet up with you! Any chance you'll be around tomorrow afternoon? :) Planning on taking Stevens Pass again on my return trek to Wenatchee

They Might be Giants. It's already been made into a film, but I've always thought it'd make a terrific musical entertainment.
And even though I know it's cheating, I think Psycho would make a terrific musical comedy.
DRs Jane and td - I found the film "Lawrence After Arabia" gave me considerable insight into not only Lawrence but the whole Middle East situation and many of the problems there today. A very dialogue heavy film but worth the effort.
RLP: I would of course have accepted any accent by Mr Spacey - he doesn't need to talk at all!

Dialogue heavy? ? ? Robert Bolt's screenplay is quite short on words, leaving director Lean to fill in the gaps with eye-opening cinematography; one of the few non-silent films wherein the actions truly do speak louder than words.Those speed reading courses don't work Anthony Dale. "Lawrence AFTER Arabia".
DR Panni, I'd suggest the song sequence of "We Don't Want to Lose You" by the girls followed by Maggie Smith's "I'll Make AMan of Any One of You" in OH, WHAT A LOVELY WAR! It's a music hall sequence recruiting soldiers for WWI in Brighton, and any boy enlisting is promised a kiss by Miss smith. She's glamorous, keeping an eye on any chorine upstaging he, and we see the sequence from the audience with the Smith family, our guide through the history of World War I. One of the boys in the family runs up to enlist and get a kiss. When he gets close to her, she's a painted old tart, the perfect metaphor for a film about jingoism and the stupidity of young men and women sacrificed by old politicians.What a wonderful scene with the amazing Dame Maggie. The final shots of the movie with that sea of crosses is so emotive too.
I saw the last 15 minutes or so of Field of Dreams and I said to myself that someone should try to do a musical version of this. There hasn't been a successful baseball musical since Damn Yankees/
Did anyone else hear that they are going to remake Damn Yankees as a hip-hop movie musical?
Good to see you standing up for yourself TCB. A good positive way to face the world and your troubles. If you get totally tired of talking to yourself you can email!
