Sandra good history vibes!

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.

Well she is 43 now....

DR Elmore, good news about the deposit!

DR Rodzinski, I have heard of LUMS. I think they have one in Plattsburgh.

DR Jose, you mentioned the Canadian leg of the MAMMA MIA tour. That reminded me I have been seeing ads that the show is coming here in July. I do love the show. But not sure if I will go.

That's the problem with living on the Island of Long, we never get any show tours!!

Good new job vibes to DR Ann. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good school vibes to DR Sandra. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Btw, I watched last night's DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and I have a question. They always seem to focus to much on the 4 main characters (lynnette, susan, gabrielle and bree). Yet they often seem to have completely separate stories. I don't even think that any of them were in a scene together in last night's show. And this happens often.

I really think that they should try to overlap some of their stories. Or have them in more scenes together.

Two hydrogen atoms meet.

One says "I've lost my electron."

The other says "Are you sure?"

The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."

I used to read every damn thing that Stephen King published, but it was getting to the point that it seemed like something new was coming off the assembly line every four months or so. I think I stopped after Insomnia.

My favorite books of King's are"
The Stand -- literally gave me nightmares!
The Shining -- my intorduction to King. Everyone was reading it during my first year of college. We all went to the movie together and hated it. My opinion has changed over the years, though.
Salem's Lot
Misery

I also like The Other and Harvest Home. And I remember that I started reading Rosemary's Baby, but for some reason I didn't finish it. I think it might have been that I had bought a used paperback copy that smelled badly.

If you want overlapping/intermingled lives, I can recommend that you watch "Golden Girls" in rerun on Lifetime.

The "Desperate Housewives" converge when necessary. The show is interesting because they each have separate stories. Thus far, the writers haven't made a wrong move, IMO

DR JRand54, my brother took my mom to a cabaret show for mothers day...I don't think any of my brother's would ever appear on stage...unless they'd had a few too many beers!

Ron, close but it would have been 1960 when you saw the movie. That was the year before I met Flip.

I often cringe when I watch pre-women’s lib movies. It was the times and I know I believed in much of it. Remember Doris went on to warn women to pay attention to their own finances and not to simply rely on their husbands.

Matt H I concider THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT one of my guilty pleasures.

How funny....I had been thinking it was a 1958 film. How the mind plays tricks on you after a certain age...

Three lengths of string walk into a bar and sit at a table. One of them gets up and goes to the bar to order drinks. When he orders, the bartender sneers at him and says, "Sorry, bud--I don't serve lengths of string." The string goes back to the table and tells his friends what happened.

"Let me try", says one of the other lengths of string. He goes to the bar but before he can say anything, the bartender roars, "Look, I told your friend already--I don't serve your kind here!" The length of string goes back to the table and tells the other two that they won't be served.

The third length of string gets up and says, "Let me try something." He goes into the bathroom and twists himself into a tangle and unfurls his ends a bit. Then he walks over to the bar and quickly orders three beers.

The bartender narrows his eyes at the string and says, "Hey, wait a minute. Aren't you one of those three pieces of string that came in here a few minutes ago?"

And the string replies, "Nope. I'm a frayed knot."

I agree that it is very interesting how they each have their own stories. But for me, I'd rather there was more overlapping. Plus I love the scenes they are all in together. I love the poker games, or the pool party Gabrielle had 2 weeks ago. I do think it has been a very interesting choice to keep 4 storylines. But I just find myself wanting to see them all together.

And I was curious if other viewers felt the same.

elmore, PIGEONS FROM HELL is a great horror story by Robert E. Howard, who wrote the Conan stories.

WENDIGO, I believe, is by Algernon Blackwood, who wrote many a classic horror story.

I have a friend in Lexington whose library is almost as big as mine and he collects mostly supernatural and horror fiction. I get most of my recommendations for horror from him, he knows my penchant is for Victorian or early modern. I've never read Stephen King. I read Dean Koontz once when someone wanted me to adapt on of his books into a movie. I ended up not taking the job.

Jane · « **Reply #114 on:** May 09, 2005, 12:34:43 PM »

CP now I’m curious. You didn’t care for the book so you turned down the job? I’m thinking it wasn’t that simple and there were other reasons?

DR JRand54, I see that SWING PARADE OF 1946, starring Ms. Gale Storm, is coming to DVD later this month...have you seen this one? If so is it any good?

I just got home via the bus from hell! First of all, it was packed with nonpaying noisy juveniles hogging most of the seats, and we had a crazy elderly woman whose medication had clearly just worn off. She had a high whiney voice and she was talking loudly about circumsized organs, how no one wanted to f*** her, getting screwed by New York State, several racial problems, over and over and over. I even moved to the very back of the bus to keep from listening to her, while wishing her dead, off the bus, or both at the same time. And then, she got off at my stop!

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES was most enjoyable. I can't remember liking a nighttime soap this much since the heyday of DYNASTY.

Matt H. · « **Reply #118 on:** May 09, 2005, 12:56:33 PM »

On the question of the desperate housewives having a merged storyline, I think they all have their own problems and things to deal with, and as the season is drawing to a close, naturally each of their stories is going to spiral into its own resolutions (or cliffhanger) in preparation for Season 2.

Like DR Ron, I think the writers have played the season about as smart and canny as it would be possible to do, and I am forever grateful for that recap show two weeks ago that put so many of the mysteries into clearer focus so that last night's show made such complete sense.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #119 on:** May 09, 2005, 12:56:37 PM »

Jane, I didn't dislike the book, but there were more compelling irons in the fire. I actually went in to see the folks about it. They owned another script of mine that they had never done. The executive, who had been my executive on PSYCHO III, so desperately wanted me to do the job, she said she'd give me the other script back free and clear, if I did the job...It was tempting but I turned it down anyway...I can't remember what I might have been working on at the time. But I think they also wanted to change (needlessly) elements of the novel that I actually quite liked.

In retrospect, I wish I had done it...just to have gotten my other script back. Still it seems well I didn't do it. The picture was later made called HIDEAWAY (also the title of the book). I never saw it, but Maltin's book gives it no stars, only a BOMB designation and calls it "interminable" and says that Koontz wisely tried to have his name taken off the film.
