DR VIXMOM thanks for the picture link. What a lot of fun it looks like everyone is having!

I don't think I have ever seen a Peter Pan costume in quite that shade of green - but it is very imaginative!

The theater did not have the capability of rigging the necessary equiptment, nor did they have adequate insurance for the flying scenes, so it was done by having black background, black boxes and "lifters" dressed entirely in black, including hoods with veils, and lighting the stage with black light. The Darling children were dressed in whites, and very pale green. Peter's original costume dissappeared under the lighting so a new one was created a week before opening to glow under the lights

DR Joey, I just visited your site... doyou have any relatives in Texas by chance?

Good Morning!

I slept rather well last night. And I'm finally up...

That's it for this post...

DR MattH - Did you/Are you watching "Regis & Kelly"? George Eads is on. Interesting t-shirt.... Hmmm. Oh, and I didn't realize he owns Cinespace in LA on Ivar.

As for horror stories... Mainly Stephen King. "Pet Sematary" and "Misery" come to mind first.

*I even belonged to the Stephen King Book Club for a while. I eventually discontinued my membership since I wasn't able to keep up with all the reading - I also belonged to three other book clubs at the same time. In fact, I ended up giving away a bag of Stephen King (books) last week during my packing and sorting.

I used to teach some very suspenseful short stories to my ninth graders: "The Splinter" and "The Landlady" were always good for a shudder or two. Of course, the kids wanted more blood and guts, but I'd try to explain to them the concept that sometimes less is more, but they were too used to things like FRIDAY THE 13th to care.

I have a couple of books of Stephen King short stories that I've never opened, and once LA CAGE is out of the way, I'm determined to read some of them. I enjoyed THE SHINING and FIRESTARTER and THE DEAD ZONE very much. I am pretty certain I've got SKELETON CREW upstairs on one of the bookshelves.

DR Jose, I knew he was going to be on, but I was doing my workout during the 9 o'clock hour and didn't DVR it. What was on his t-shirt?

I believe his character gets buried alive in the CSI season finale (the one directed by Quentin Tatentino).

bk, was THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE a Fox Studio Classic or a part of some other Fox film release (a noir box or a war box or just a separate budget release)?

Matt H. · « **Reply #38 on:** May 09, 2005, 07:34:33 AM »

[sigh] Remaking these foreign films, and one with a plot as borrowed as that one - remind me to miss it.

Another scrumptuous day in the Southland. High of 84 and clear blue sky. I will be wearing shorts and a short sleeved shirt for my lunch out today.

And I have DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES from last night to watch today. Boy, did Doug Savant look buff in those TV commercials or what!

I was fortunate enough to have read "Salem's Lot" before ever hearing about who Stephen King was. I was in Naples, Italy, circa 1975-77. The paperback jacket wasn't really clear on what the story was about...and by the time I learned it was about a vampire (making other vampires!!) in a New England town, I was already well into the novel. Gave me nightmares, too.

Next time I recognized King's name was when the movie "Carrie" was released. I saw it in the Summer of 1977 in Naples and was then hooked on King. Imagine my surprise upon returning to the U.S. that Stephen King was quite the rage.

Just before Christmas 1978 I was in Falls Creek VA shopping center bookstore and picked up something called "Interview With A Vampire." I put it back down thinking it would not be worth my time.

Fourteen years later, I was playing catchup in the Lestat saga...along with Ann Rice's "witches" saga. Ripe, terrific reading for my final tour of duty on an aircraft carrier.

I consider "The Stand" -- the expanded edition that came out -- what was it?? -- 10 or 15 years ago?? -- Stephen King's masterpiece. The TV movie was pretty good in its own right, but the book is not really filmable the way "I" read it.

I love good horror -- but not when they start putting Part II, Part III and so on after the title. If you can't get it right the first time, what's the point?

And then there's "The Exorcist."

I pulled this off the website that was emailed to me, anbd I can't adjust the size or anything, I didn't realize it was so big, can anyone fix it ? Otherwise I'll just delete it, the widescreen is too annoying

Speaking of dreams

I dreamt the Vixmom Trio was traveling home from Canada via air and that just at the security checkpoint site Mr. Vixmom decided to run off and answer a call of nature. meanwhile the Vixter & I were forced by a security guard to go through the checkpoint. I protested saying that we were waiting for my husband. They told me loitering was not allowed and either go throught the checkpoint or be jailed. We went through and moments later Mr. Vixmom appeared. I, however, had his plane ticket, passport and green card in my handbag. They wouldn't let him through, they wouldn't let me back and they wouldn't allow me to hand him the papers throught the metal detector or over the little rope separating us. They told me I had to go further into the airport and send him the documents by mail. Then I woke up....

Sandra good history vibes!

Vixmom where in England is Mr. Vixmom from?

I enjoyed the link, once I got past the blurry images. The ones of the Vixter are some of the best photos in the group. She certainly has grown up since the photo on your avatar.

George thanks for the info on Zane Grey. I think dropping the Pearl was a good idea.

I decided to read more on Zane Grey and found the name of my favorite novel, WILD HORSE MESA. I also realize how few of his books I have read. I would like to read his first one, BETTY ZANE.

I don’t know what kind of bird you saw but the behavior was fairly common.
