I ended up picking up Andy, and we headed out for sushi - which was good - and a movie, "Madagascar", which was good too. All those references to older movies and TV shows - including "The Twilight Zone" - were very funny, but I could tell they were going over almost everyone else's head in the theatre, since no one else was laughing when I was. Ah, well...
DR Ginny - Thank you.
But more importantly, there's a Beer Nuts Factory Store? Do they sell broken and mis-matched peanut halves?
;)
Take a look at www.beernuts.com (http://www.beernuts.com), but beware it's a "musical" website.
Good Morning, DR Cillaliz!
Today is very hot, like the thick of Summer, in Tokyo, too, though still in the rainy season.
I’m about to watch un film “The Passion of The Christ” on TV, from 10:00pm.
DR RLP - I am intrigued by the premise of that answer. However, how can one disagree?
James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and Robert Francis are just three more stars who were no longer offered parts after they died - coincidence?
The Importance of Being Earnest - Michael Redgrave version
Brit comedies that come to mind:
Kind Hearts & Coronets
The Ruling Class
The Wrong Box
Hello and Goodbye to my drinking partner, Mr. Moore. I'm back out into the heat to CVS. Although it's not a horrible 91 degrees, it is hotter than I would like it to be.
Hi Kerry, glad to hear about your mutual love of shirley temples. I've never had to show a bartender how to make one, but I have had more than one scoff at my request.
I think not.
It's conspiracy, pure and simple.
Michael Shayne, good luck with your play.
George, along with HOUSE I think TRIAL BY JURY is the best thing on TV. I wish I knew where to write and request it not be cancelled. I have never done that before.
Producer DIck Wolf was astounded when NBC canceled it thinking it had done more than enough to warrant a renewal. And its rerun numbers have been much better than the ratings for NUMBERS in reruns this summer. TNT was tinkering with the notion for producing more of them for their network, but the deal couldn't be worked out.
But, I'll tell you a secret. I think NBC will call it back next season as a replacement for one of their lame already announced shows that isn't going to draw flies. Mark my words.
Or discrimination. I'm thinking of writing a protest letter.I wonder if it might Help?
DR MATTH - sometimes I find the Sparkling Trivia Question to be frustrating as well. But don't give up. There is a lead that will break it open - there always is - I haven't found it this week, but I am still looking.
Even when I am following a lead that goes nowhere - I usually learn something about a show or performer that I didn't know.
....Waiting for this gray guck to burn off so that the sunshine can shine through.

Good Afternoon!
And now I must get another load of laundry started... Will the excitement never cease?
Oh... As for a British comedy... "Cold Comfort Farm".
DR Ginny - Thank you.Thank you for the morning laugh for breakfast DR Jose. I'm usually a bit shell shocked when I greet the day and Magnus' and Fosca's energy!

Here at least Shirley Temples are thought of as for children. But that doesn't mean that you guys should not ask for them. If you like the taste, then who cares what anybody else thinks!

I still remember when this came out a few years ago, the box office in Richmond posted a sign "warning" theatregoers that the very thick English accents (of various types, regions) may be hard for Americans to understand at times.

I always put on the English subtitles when I watch THE FULL MONTY. I can never understand a damn word anyone says for the first forty-five minutes.And this from a man who has appeared as Fagin and Scrooge.
Hello RLP and TCB. I guess the East Coast has been blown away by Dennis the Menace.
And this from a man who has appeared as Fagin and Scrooge.
I never played a fag in SCROOGE................! Oh. Never mind.:) Nor a scroo in Oliver I guess.
They could do a remake of "Arnold (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069732/)." ;)

Oh, my lord. Why should a bartender care whether the drink he makes has liquor in it or not? Sounds kind of snooty to me.
I haven't had a Shirley Temple in years, but they are delicious.
