No, I have crystals that I wear for that. But now you have me thinking about those solar flares...

I'm gonna have to get me some aluminum foil. Rolls and rolls of aluminum foil...

My favorite scene in SIGNS!

Back from packing, shipping, shipping, and packing, not necessarily in that order. I have forty-five minutes to attend to things and then I'm off to rehearsal, then the LACC meeting, then the casting director meeting.

It has been my experience, MRBK - that the "in house" people know best. And they also know how many extension cords you can plug in....and WHERE the extension cords, hammers, and duct tape are kept!

Watched THE CASINO MURDER CASE today which was recorded yesterday off TCM. Not a very good Philo Vance movie as Paul Lukas, playing Philo, is just not right for the part.

Shocked to see Rosalind Russell as a secretary. Eric Blore and Leo G. Carroll are also in it along with Alison Skipworth.

Still, give me William Powell or Basil Rathbone as Vance any day.

Good Afternoon!

Whew!

Thankfully, the one "surprise" I found among my pile of mail earlier, turned out to be the only surprise. However, I think I'm still in a bit of shock after taking care of my bills and such. Ah, well... Nothing a nice dinner out tonight won't cure!

In the meantime, I need to get cleaned up and get to the post office before they shut down for the evening... So...

Laters...

I then watched the gay themed STRAIGHT-JACKET on DVD.

No, not the Joan Crawford chiller (I think hers is spelled STRAIT-JACKET).

Anyway, it's about a 1950s closeted movie star forced into a marriage with a woman. He meets a gay novelist with whom he falls in love and has to decide whether he wants the career or the man. Meanwhile, scandal sheets are searching for any dirt they can find out about movie stars and a Congressman is trying to one-up Joseph McCarthy by finding a gay Communist so he can make a name for himself.

Has some cute elements to it but the problem is that the movie is never sure of its tone: is it a satire, a love story, a farce. The movie has elements of all these things and yet it veers wildly from one to another and seems too full of ideas in need of some rewriting.

The cast has some familiar Hollywood faces (including Veronica Cartwright as the gay actor's agent), but I think the results are too mixed to give it an all out recommendation.

Since I have no program at 8 p.m. tonight, I'll watch last night's SUPERNATURAL in that time slot and then be set up for the rest of the evening with network TV.

And speaking of mail, I didn't get any today. Nada. Zip. Zero.

I'm actually seeing the sun outside right now. It's been totally hidden since Thursday, but a tiny little bit of it peeped through the clouds just now.

All right! It IS still there!

Did anyone who bought the Universal Hammer Horror Collection that came out this month have any of the problems that they are discussing at Amazon.com.....freezing, pixilation, disk failure....

No problem so far, but then I have only watched one of the movies....my ADAM-12 DVD (from Universal) on the other hand froze up my player and made me unhappy.

Oh no! I have only watched one of the disks of ADAM - 12! I hope mine are okay. $:-\$

Seen very few of the Philo Vance movies, but I enjoy the books though once you've got the formula, they're easy to figure out and Philo can be an insufferable prig at times. As Ogden Nash once wrote: "Philo Vance needs a kick in the pance."

Matt H. · « **Reply #141 on:** October 12, 2005, 02:33:27 PM »

All of the Philo Vance movies were made in the late 20s to mid-30s, so the earlier ones are very primitive in production values (scratchy sound and a camera inside a soundproof box) and the later ones were done on the cheap.

The studios who owned them haven't done anything to preserve them either, and some are in the public domain which, of course, means they're REALLY going to look crappy.

I've never read the books. I should get around to at least one.

Matt H. · « **Reply #142 on:** October 12, 2005, 02:36:12 PM »

Tommy Tune as Doctor Dolittle? I don't see it, but he's done the impossible before.

Dee Hoty as Emma Fairfax? I don't see it, but she is talented.

Matt H. · « **Reply #143 on:** October 12, 2005, 02:37:21 PM »

Well, I guess I'll go get started on cleaning the den now and then settling in for an evening of TV.

WBBL in the evening.

LOL, I didn't mind. My friend who did go ahead of us to the subway said it was packed and she had a long wait. Now I really don't mind we stood in the rain instead of a crowded subway

I’m still waiting for my makeup to arrive. I do have the samples to try but all of it will have to wait until the work is done. I'm so sensitive if I have a reaction I won't know if it’s from the skin products or what is currently in our home environment.

Much better than the women at the other make-up counters offering us a free make-over as we left Bobbi Brown's.

Oh, I'd forgotten about that! I've actually toned down my applications of the products quite a bit.

Not on topic (what's new?).
DP Colin and I watched "Holes" last night. It seems such a natural progression for Voight's Midnight Cowboy character. I had not read the book nor seen the movie before. Quite enjoyed it.

DISCUSSION about TAR and the destinations (spoiler if you don't want to know)

Quote from: JRand55 on October 12, 2005, 11:41:55 AM

I liked TAR, although I am said the team that was eliminated was one that I liked. And I do have a couple of favorites.... And the teams I don't like at all. I do not think the teams leave North America this time, so they may be headed your way DRJENNIFER.

Hopefully next time we will be back to the two person teams. NO MORE FAMILIES!!!!

As I said I like the two person teams better. But the family aspect has actually worked okay.

Yes I believe they leave North America, and go to South America and Central America. I think they go to Belize, and Panama. Not sure where else.

And yes they do come to canada. And yes they do come to Montreal (yeah!). And I think Toronto and Niagara Falls and possibly Alberta (on a different part of the trip).

At least all the places I've listed seem interesting. I think that not wanting to travel too far could have worked if they had only picked more interesting places. Even Hawaii, Alaska, California or any other place could have shown us exciting scenic things that would interest most people.

Jane · « **Reply #149 on:** October 12, 2005, 03:19:01 PM »

Ginny, I'm sure I will too and they really didn't put much on us.
