Well, you've read the notes, the notes mentioned the wrong Amadeus, and now it is time for you to post until the wrong cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: HOMOLOGATE!
-
Topic of the Day: that would be great!
-
Off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
BK, I loved the Kritzerland backstage show very much, and I like your idea.
-
DR TCB, I am so happy you are now feeling better.
-
DR singdaw, which version of Emma were you watching? I think my favorite remains the Kate Beckinsale/BBC adaptation, although the longer Johnny Lee Miller version is really good, perfect if Romola Garai did not seem too often to be in the 21st century rather than the 19th. My least favorite, Gwyneth Paltrow's too-pretty, too-slick, too-Hollywood adaptation, has its moments, but to me it's nearly as poor as the MGM Pride and Prejudice with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier.
-
Today's excitement is a visit from my fifth floor neighbors Ann and Jen, who are coming down to climb the Big Ladder and change my kitchen lightbulbs.
-
We did not watch Close Encounters last night, so it will be tomorrow night's video. I ended up reading a bit and watching Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo on CNN. They interviewed several Trumpers at yesterday's Macon, Georgia, rally. Dumber than a box of rocks, they all seemed to be out of central casting for a Deliverance remake. Cue the banjos!
-
I've finished kitty cleanup, made the bed, and pulled out the Big Ladder.
-
I think HOMOLOGATE happened just before Don't Ask Don't Tell.
-
I would enjoy to see interviews conducted by MR BK......
-
Today is a nothing day - except that my sister is coming for awhile. I shall get the full catch and release CAT report.
I think there are three to still be c/r....I think.
-
I agree - more Kritzerland is good.
-
Once the kitties are caught and fixed and brought home, they have a small clip taken out of their ears so that they can be identified as such.
-
DR elmore3003 - the version with Romola Garai is the one that popped up, and the one we're watching. Interesting comments from you about the other versions.
-
Very very good healing news from DR TCB!!!!!!
-

There's so much that's good, but I wish I liked Garai more - she's better as Cordelia in King Lear - but I really like most of the cast. Jonny Lee Miller is a good Mr Knightley, but he sure doesn't look to be 16 years older than Emma! It's almost as good as the Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice. I wish my favorite version of Emma with Kate Beckinsale were 30 minutes longer, because things get rushed to finish on time. The last film version from last year is really interesting, as it pushes the overworked servants and the idle rich, and the comedienne Miranda Hart is amazing as Miss Bates.
-
The cats are going berserk this morning. ERKS (Exceedingly Rambunctious Kitty Syndrome) hath them in thrall, and I keep hearing items, most likely books and DVDs, falling behind my back.
-
Good morning, all.
-
My favorite version of Emma is Clueless.
-
One last thought on the Romola Garai Emma: I love Michael Gambon as Mr Woodhouse! Every adaptation, except for the Paltrow, casts a wonderful British star in the role. I don't even remember Mr Woodhouse in the Paltrow film.
-
I have similar feelings about Family Plot as BK. I didn’t care for it when I first saw it, but I watched it after Barbara Harris died and her performance is practically perfect, as Ms. Poppins would say.
-
My favorite version of Emma is Clueless.
It's truly brilliant. Every time I watch it, I remain amazed that someone thought of such a thing.
-
I loved Family Plot when I first saw it, and my opinion has not changed. I'm also very fond of Frenzy. I should drag them out.
-
I like the idea of the interview shows. I miss the theme interview shows that Merv and Cavett used to do. Give yourself time to explore a topic.
-
And no commercial breaks.
-

Two of his I don’t own that I want. Vertigo and The Trouble with Harry are two others. Actually there are many.
-
Onward.
-
Two!
-
I need to get up.
-
I would like Hitchcock movies and a big bowl of homemade pistachio pudding.
-
But that's just me.
-
Thanks for linking the recipe, DR John G.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Happy 128th birthday to composer Herbert Howells!
-
BK, were you at the premiere of FAMILY PLOT in Century City?
I was a bit disappointed in it, too, back then, even though I returned to see it a few times. "Lightweight" was certainly the word for it, right from the get go. But like DR John G. posted, the death of Barbara Harris renewed my interest in it, as I was totally charmed by the clips people were showing then. I'm more than ready to view the whole thing with fresh eyes, shortcomings and all. Agree about Karen Black in particular. She could be so perfect in some things, and just "wrong" in others.
If I'm remembering correctly from when the late Hitchcocks finally appeared on Blu-ray, this was considered one of the worst transfers. When I checked it out, I decided to hold onto the DVD from the "Masterpiece" set because it was easier to watch.
-
Here is Howells's Elegy for Viola, String Quartet, and String Orchestra. Quiet and contemplative.

So last night I did, indeed, watch the theatrical cut of TOPAZ. This was the laserdisc, which must be the identical release to that first VHS one in all its "full screen" glory. To all indications, it's at least open matte, but while I'm able to "zoom" that to approximate the 1.85 ratio (which worked fine), the loss in resolution is just too great to endure. It's amazing to think that laserdisc was the "HD" of its time, in comparison with the broadcast standard but especially compared with VHS. But my eyes adapted quickly enough, and I found myself liking the film more than ever.
BK is totally correct, of course, about the casting and the music. The score by Maurice Jarre has its French and Zhivago-ish charms at times, but ..... that's all you get. It doesn't lift the movie above a certain level. The very thought of what could have been, with a Herrmann score, is a tantalizing one for the ages. And those poor Devereauxs. They're like talking mannequins.
But the parts that are great, oh my god, the Harlem and the Cuban scenes are just brilliant. And the quick conclusion in the "American" ending. Just perfect. What in the HELL were they thinking with those alternate endings?
Anyway, I'm all rarin' to go to watch the Blu-ray now, to get the low-res image out of my mind and savor a "proper" video presentation, and to see what those extra 23 minutes are. I'm now wondering if I've even seen them. I'm pretty sure I watched the DVD at some point years ago, so I would have then, but at this point I don't remember anything that I didn't see last night.
-
It's good to hear that both TCB and singdaw are managing to hold themselves together and not spill fingers and guts all over the place.
-
Amazing, isn't it? :D Thanks for the good wishes.
-
Speaking of original versions and wrong Amadeuses...
I believe we are also in desperate want of a good theatrical cut of AMADEUS. The only one on Blu-ray is an extended "director's cut", and the only theatrical version available is on a primitive old "flipper" DVD. I don't know that movie very well, but word has it that Mr. Forman's cut is quite the bloated affair.
-
I just remembered that John Williams scored FAMILY PLOT, and that his score is appropriate and enjoyable.
-
TOD
Yes to interviews!
-
It’s raining out there. Lightly, but consistently. So nice to see.
-
The plants are all perking up.
-
Elmore wins. I am going to look for a new contractor.
-
While waiting for Godot Construction this morning, I did manage to get kitchen two cabinets cleaned out and reorganized. It won't last for long, but I do have some handy, designated space for all my measuring cups, which somehow seem to get lost all too often.
-
I've gone back to Ritz and Escoffier, which is thoroughly delightful. But one sentence stopped me. In the late 19th century, the author says, talking about food at the dinner table was a no-no. I know from reading writers of the time that good cooks were few and far between, but since my friends and I talk about food all the time, I doubt I would have liked those endless dinner parties.
-
I've gone back to Ritz
Me, too!
-
Good morning.
-
The children from the house on the corner are roller skating up and down the sidewalk this morning.
I love the sound of children playing outside. It is finally cool enough to play outside in the morning. It's still around 100 F in the afternoon, though.
-
Good Morning! Today, the organizing begins. Not until I head to the Whole Foods to pick up some dairy-free ice cream to take to a friends house tonight.
Yesterday, the boys got to go to the vet and get updated on their shots. Leo got an examine as well and he passed with flying colors. Tomorrow, they get groomed. They are very fuzzy. They don't shed so they have to be groomed a few times a year. They are very cute when they return.
-
I finished all the book fixes while I listened to Danny Kaye sing songs from The Court Jester. Now I want to watch that again.
-
I've avoided doing much else since I didn't want to be in the middle of something and have to put it aside when my neighbors showed up. There's been no word from Ann and Jen, so I guess I will get to work.
-
From DR TCB:
I went back to urgent care today. Dr. Hottie was there, but was not assigned to my care. Dr. Un-hottie was very nice. He checked out my finger and decided that the sutures seemed to be holding very well, so he decided I didn’t need the metal splint or all the tons of gauze the nurse had used on Wednesday. So, I am down to one large bandaid and it feels 1000% better.
No wonder it was difficult for you to clean and change. Less pressure on those sensitive finger tip nerves must be more comortable.
CONTINUED HEALING VIBES!
-
From DR George:
(http://Good! Fill it out and get it to a drop-box quickly!!)
I think we will deliver it tomorrow or Monday. We don't have any plans to use our car today.
-
From Bruce:
I love pistachios - Peyton Kirkner's mom's family makes them up north so I get bags for free. Hazelnuts, on the other hand, make me want to vomit on the ground.
Makes pistachio nut?
I have had to pass on many delicious chocolate desserts since adding hazelnuts is very popular.

Just heard a lovely version of September Song. Just Ella and a piano, two fine instruments.

I'm really enjoying Les Liaisons Dangereuses, but ...
I can only read so many letters at one time. I'm afraid at this pace, I'll read 10 pages here, 10 there and finish the book in 2021. This is my second or third attempt to get through it. I'm determined to finish it, though.
Sadly, a modern version of this would all be done in emails, tweets and Facebook posts.

elmore, there's a stunning new 4K transfer of The Court Jester available on Amazon Prime - be careful, though, because the older transfer is also there.
-
I'm up, I'm up - seven-and-a-half hours of sleep.
-
I can't remember if I saw Family Plot at a screening first - in those days, my friend was a big-wig at Mann's so he always got me into interesting screenings - but that one I may have seen in Century City or in Hollywood - trying to remember if it played the Chinese.
-
Decided to give the Alfie Boe concert a try. His voice can be great on songs with a majestic sweep, especially when he remembers the lyrics. But he just did a version of Hushabye Mountain that didn't quite make it vocally. But his orchestra was great, and I just wish I were on a dancefloor waltzing to it.
-
I see it was the premiere of that year's Filmex. I doubt I went to that, even though I'm sure I attended other Filmex events there. In fact, I'm pretty sure that on that date in March I was shooting the Tabitha pilot and was probably in San Francisco.
-
I was forgetting that it was part of Filmex. Yes, they had Hitch riding in on a Universal tram, and just after the movie ended is when I got my one and only precious autograph. And I was the only one who got to him before his people ushered him out.
-
But I was trying to remember, too, where it screened when it was released...and I haven't the faintest. I was living in my Beverly Hills apartment and would likely have gone to Westwood. But I can't tie my memory of it to any specific theater.
-

I just went for my DVD and I cannot locate it. I think my NY Public Library Music collection librarian Bob might still have it, so this is good to know. I wanted to ask, too, is this the Hitchcock set you've been watching?
-
Ann and Jen stopped by and took care of my light bulbs. I am very grateful.

I do get a lot of Ella played directly into my hearing aids from my iPhone that sounds wonderful.

Thank you, sir!

Have been working today on a project. In a week and a half, I will be giving an online presentation on tower bells and the English art of change-ringing. Not something I knew a lot about, previously. The research has been fun and interesting, and there are rabbit-holes of online videos available for illustration and edification.
-
My impression is that change-ringing aficionados are, by and large, an odd lot of characters.
-
But it is an interesting art, combining music, mathematics, physical stamina, teamwork, and mental acuity.
-
Meaning I am qualified to present on it, but not to actually do it. :)

There's even a Midsomer Murders episode about bell ringers. They are odd.

I always have guilt and regret.

George did you track that your ballot was received? I can't remember.

Saturday afternoon greetings! Richard and I did errands at 2 different libraries and picked up sandwiches for our dinner. I also delivered a batch of starter to my friend Molly, along with a sample of the cinnamon bread she’ll be able to bake in about 10 days.

DR singdaw, when we were in Norwich, England, almost 8 years ago, we visited the ringing chamber of St. Peter Mancroft church. I have a panoramic photo and a video that I’ll send via Facebook Messenger. You’re welcome to use them in your presentation - or not.
Also, Richard recommends reading Dorothy Sayers’ THE NINE TAILORS.

How lovely, DR Ginny. Thank you so much!

DR John G. - handbells, or swinging bells?

Getting ready for virtual cocktail hour, take 2. Hopefully no technical glitches this time.
-
The sun has finally got his hat on and is putting in an appearance today.
-
Watching the reunion of Company. Interesting to see Pamela Myers in between the original cast and her recent version of Another Hundred People on the Kritzerland show. Dean Jones' Someone Is Waiting is heartbreaking. And even Elaine Stritch can be seen applauding for Beth Howland after Getting Married Today.

Virtual happy hour went off without a hitch this time. Wish I could spring for the Zoom upgrade with unlimited meeting lengths, but can't justify the cost.

Reading about the latest QAnon conspiracy theory. Really. Crazy-making. What has become of our nation?

Today I learned that Dairy Queen serves their Blizzards upside down. I think the one and only Blizzard I had was in 1976 and it was not served upside down.

Been working on project 1, made some pasta with meat, onions, and red sauce, now watching a movie.

DR Jane - this was the one about John F. Kennedy Jr. not really being dead, and being announced today as Pence's replacement on the ticket.
::)
-
Hello!
-
Glad to hear you're feeling better, DR TCB!
-
I've always been fond of Family Plot. I think I should watch it again.
-
DR Jane - this was the one about John F. Kennedy Jr. not really being dead, and being announced today as Pence's replacement on the ticket.
::)
Oh goodness. I missed this one. I am not sure if I should laugh or cry.
-
I feel like I am getting a cold. With all the precautions I take how is that even possible. OK, yes possible but very unlikely. I took a Benadryl last night hoping it would kick out any allergies. I slept so that was something.
-
My brother commented that he never had spelling errors until he got spellcheck. After informing him the problem is autocorrect I sent him this which he found funny. He lives a sheltered life and wasn't aware of all the RIP jokes on the internet ;D

-
Today I learned that Dairy Queen serves their Blizzards upside down. I think the one and only Blizzard I had was in 1976 and it was not served upside down.
They only started that in the last couple years. They don't actually serve it that way, they just tip it over so that you know it's really thick...I guess. It doesn't make any sense to me, but I do like them.

PAGE FIVE UPSIDE DOWN BLIZZARD DANCE!!

And speaking of Dairy Queen's Blizzards, I came across this article: The real reason Dairy Queen Blizzards don't fall (https://www.mashed.com/191813/the-real-reason-dairy-queen-blizzards-dont-fall/).
The more you know. ;)
-
Finished with my viewing - was going to watch another movie but I'm not in the mood.
-
I've been watching Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
-
I watched three episodes in a row.
-
I haven't done that in quite a while.
-
Now, I'm watching the finale of America's Got Talent.
-
I only watched the final performances, so I don't know who got performed over the season and who was eliminated up to this point.
-
All the performers were very good.
-
Who was your favorite, George? I watched a lot with Mom.
-
While taking my walk tonight, I was so absorbed in my audiobook that I didn’t hear or see a pitbull mix about half my size rushing toward me. His owner called him back and he instantly returned to her. But it scared the crap outta me. I screamed. I love dogs but I’ve been attacked several times in the past and that feeling never goes away.
-
I’m of to bed.
-
Good night, all.
-
Listening to music.
-
Who was your favorite, George? I watched a lot with Mom.
I really liked the black woman singer, the black male singer who was incarcerated and released because he was innocent, the little guy aerial performer, and a couple of others that I can't remember. I didn't love the three sister contortionists, and also a couple of others, but like I said before, they were all very good.

It is difficult to like something when you spit it out as quickly as I do. When I was young my throat, mouth, and eyes swelled up. I always had medicine with me so my throat never completely closed. Almonds were the same but now I can eat them. Brazil nuts are bad too.
I am lucky though that with accidental exposure I developed a tolerance for nuts over time. First symptoms are my mouth and lips start to itch. That is when I spit ;D
-
I still have mild symptoms to nuts I do eat, often depending how they are prepared. I just stockedup on Trader Joe's cashews as my mouth doesnitch at all vs Planters. Raw almonds bother me but I no longer painfully swell up. I can eat slivered toasted almonds by the handfuls.

Great. I plan to do it after we vote.

Thank you to all of you who offered continued good wishes vibes.
