Well, the checkbook cover has a place for your driver's license so that you don't have to get out your wallet AND your checkbook when you write a check. Just flip the cover and you can even show it as you're writing the check, if necessary.

No, BK, JulieC40 was an acquaintance of DR JMK, as I recall, who did not stay long.

Good morning, all! I have a few errands this morning, then a trek to Toyland and a lunch with my friend Josh Rubin, who's doing the 1902 WIZARD OF OZ this summer.

Last night, I finally turned on the AC; even with the windows open and a fan blowing full blast, I was not sleeping because of the heat. I've also put away all my autumn and winter wear, but I hear the temperature will be dropping. I hope so.

More to follow.

I've always like this film, and the over-the-top moments don't really bother me.

I've never read the book, but it's my understanding that the ending is completely different from the movie. A real downer.

Probably not. I was shocked among the reviews to read John Simon's four-star piece on the latter. Probably the most positive review of the lot.

Ah well.

Back to reality. The doctor did indeed blame my health problems on allergies and gave me a shot. Will see if it does anything and if I can return to so-called normalcy.

Post by: John G. on April 09, 2010, 08:16:58 AM: I'm also going to try to finish an odd little book I found the other day called "Jacob's Hands," a fable written by Aldous Huxley and Christopher Isherwood. Can't really say it's a novel. It's more like a 150-page film treatment written as a narrative. Easy to visualize and easy to see why it was never made into a movie. Yet it has held my interest for as long as I have been able to concentrate.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on April 09, 2010, 08:19:46 AM: I, also, visited the spokeo.com site.

HAH! Ha-Ha-HAH!

What a joke.

When I saw the "source" material, I knew instantly what was what with this site. They cull their information from surveys and a bunch of not-reliable public domain information. I seldom submit to surveys and NEVER give out personal information about income or age or anything else that is none of anyone's business. So...they apparently made up a lot of it.

According to spokeo.com, I'm in my late 80s and live in a $1 million-plus apartment. It also lists my occupation as military. And that much was true -- 17 years ago!

I looked up relatives, too. My aunt and uncle in Johnston SC bought their house new in 1951. They haven't budged from the site. Spokeo says they've lived there 15 years. HAH! They also say that among my uncle's "interests" is "arts and crafts". Woo-hoo...my cantankerous red-neck uncle whose every other word is "blue" and who stays glued to Fox News 24/7 is into arts and crafts? If he knew this info was out there it would kill him.

I opted to click on "Privacy" to have my info removed. The last item was to type in the code that was displayed to the right. I did it over and over and over again. And it never took....it just kept putting up new codes. Yes, I typed the codes in correctly, paying close attention to caps and lower case letters. What a scam!

District 9 is terrific. 2012 is DREADFUL. I usually enjoy the Roland Emmerich epics, but this one insulted every fiber of my being. Instead, why not pick up "Moon"....a wonderful, very unexpected, and totally satisfying sci-fi film.

What do you expect from a lesbian?

I loved the Cillaliz reaction to this very same exclamation in a post last night. It reminded me of the last visit/last post of the much-venerated BrettySpaghetti (in his third "return" visit). Bretty thought my one-word posting of "Doody" in large letters was referencing his previous post (which immediately preceded my "Doody" post). To that he said it reminded him why he kept leaving HainesHisWay.

Ye need thicker skin than that to survive the everchanging moods of HainesHisWay!

Cilla got it right, though. Assume nothing and just ask what it meant.

It turns out that when I went to Margo's house to get her car, crutches and commode, I used her bathroom (TMI, I know ;)) and my checkbook fell out of my back pocket. Margo's daughter called me this morning to tell me the news and I'm VERY happy!

I was the first to respond and I really didn't think anyone's response could possibly be stronger than mine, but the composer's beat me by a country mile. Needless to say, unless he'd like to continue this journey all by his lonesome, we'll be taking a month off.

So, I think we'll make this available for pre-order right here at haineshisway.com within the next few days - it will be on the Kritzerland site - and unless one comes to a signing, will be the only way to get a signed copy with a special something.

But honestly, I thought Rigsby and Van Pelt had broken up quite a few episodes ago. Was that just a fight and a period of icy indifference before they got back together? Once the entire season comes out in a box set this fall, I'll be able to see the trajectory of this relationship.

Post by: Matt H. on April 09, 2010, 01:15:59 PM: Then I began my work project for the day - the Blu-ray of COCOON. I did enjoy the movie as much as I did back in 1985 when I first saw it, though Don Ameche's Oscar was kind of insulting in light of Wilford Brimley and Hume Cronyn, both of whom give more accomplished performances. I mean, it's obvious that's a dance double doing the break dancing for him, and while he's professional and holds his own with the other veteran stars, his character's arc can't compare to the other two gentlemen or with Jack Gilford's stubborn old timer who refuses to veer from his inevitable path. I even thought Brian Dennehy was more effective.

But it's clear that was a career Oscar which, of course, happens frequently with the Oscars.

MBarnum would love Oakland's Norman Marks Gym. Mr. Marks, regrettably, died around Thanksgiving last year, but he lived a LONG life and was friends with many body builders, including the ubiquitous Jack LaLanne.

The men's lockerrom is enormous, but rather sad. The shower room is open and nearly always occupied (as is the sauna) by wrinkly elderly men who work out faithfully several days a week to stay "toned" (internally, one supposes).

I've often thought MBarnum would find the entire gym setup a paradise.

You know, Promises, Promises ran for 1200 performances, got great reviews, and audiences loved it. It does not need Mr. Ashford's help, nor Miss Chenoweth's and Mr. Simon should tell them all to go take a flying leap. If they can't play the show as written quit or do another show. I am so heartily sick of these people thinking they're better than the material. Miss Cheoweth, who is, in my opinion, miscast, wants the character CHANGED for her. What's next?

What's next? Let's change Harold Hill if the actor playing him is wrong for the role or too untalented to play it as written.

I didn't like Matthew Broderick in the part either.

Well you might have had they had the good sense to rewrite the show for him. ;D

Earlier at my lunch meeting at the West Hollywood Hugo's I had a bacon and cheese omelet that was really small, so I'll be ready for a reasonable-sized but not insane dinner. Once upon a time, going to Mo's I would have had their great burger, but I'm so not in a meat frame of mind these days - I never thought that would happen, but the fact is I haven't eaten meat more than twice in a month for the last year.

George, I'd probably see the show on the 7th - do the talkback if they like - have our get-together, and then fly home on the 8th.

I want you to spend part of that talkback recruiting new acolytes for this here site!

Shakespeare aside, I don't understand why an actor would want to take on a role that another actor has made "his own".

Broderick was stupid to take on Harold Hill, just as Jeff Bridges is in doing the remake of TRUE GRIT. As good an actor as he is, he is not John Wayne.

I wonder if, as rumored, Hugh Grant is going to try to outshine Rex Harrison in the proposed remake of MY FAIR LADY.

Jrand, after consulting with Pogue, I'm moving the trip one week - to April 24th. We're just trying to figure out if we're going to try and see it on Friday night (the day I arrive) or Saturday night. Once we know that, then I'll let you know all the particulars.

BK, as explained earlier, now that we've moved it to the weekend of the 24th, I cannot do Friday, as I have a screenwriting class I teach at 9:00 on Saturday. It's over at noon. After that, I will be free to make tracks to Indianapolis apparently about 2 and half hours away from my digs.

Post by: Ginny on April 09, 2010, 07:03:28 PM: Friday media report - We just watched the first 4 episodes of Season 1 of CASTLE, which DS Rob recommended. Richard and I like them a lot and will watch the rest of the first season before I have to take the set back to the library. BTW, when the main character and his daughter leave for her school trip to DC, she's carrying a Vera Bradley Mod Floral Pink Large Backpack.

Title: Re: GOING AND DOING AND DOING AND GOING
Post by: Ginny on April 09, 2010, 07:18:58 PM: DR MBarnum - it was actually Mary Linda who got us started on CASTLE. She happened on it one night and got so hooked that Rob gave her the first season DVDs for her birthday in February. They watched them and Rob got hooked, so he suggested that we watch it on TV the other night. The Season 1 set just came in for me on my library's reserve system today, so we're filling in the backstory.

Post by: Matt H. on April 09, 2010, 07:38:28 PM: Then I watched last night's FLASH FORWARD. A fairly standard episode as these things go: trying to snuff out a mole at the FBI headquarters. I got really irritated with the shootout once the mole was identified. The mole was a deadeye shot and everyone else couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Of course, he played a role in that film about the Broadway season that featured WICKED, CAROLINE OR CHANGE, AVENUE Q, and TABOO (I believe it was called SHOW BUSINESS).

In it, he at certain points was sitting with a table of legitimate NY theater critics. I wonder what their opinions of his writing are and if they minded sharing the screen with him as if he were on equal status with them.
