Sorry to hear about Nilla, Cillaliz. You did the only possible thing under the circumstances.

Off to read a bit & then watch a DVD.

My (first) Bollywood movie of the weekend! DHADKANEIN..the gorgeous Bollywood newcomver Attin Bhalla has finally made his second film (his first film OM, flopped $:-\$ ) and it was just released on DVD, and I have it! Woohoo!

....well, it is only sort of woohoo, as this movie certainly doesn't have the budget of a major Bollywood movie...in fact this one doesn't seem to even have the budget of a minor Bollywood movie...but I only got through 30 minutes of it last night...so we shall see what we shall see. I do know that it is a romance movie.

Is it good? We are exciting the show is now on DVD & we can see what we missed.

We've watched 3 of the 4 episodes on the disc and I can't stay awake for the last one. So, now my DH is watching Numbers and I'm on my way to bed.

Has anyone heard anything about a new CBS show called Tuesday Night Book Club?

A full night of video. First up, I finished SMALL TOWN GIRL. I had totally forgotten that the film ends in church with Jane Powell (and a choir) singing "The Hallelujah Chorus." I'm not sure any other musicals ended in that way.

Jrand, sure send me a CD or two. And thank Adam for his lovely comment. Of course, had we done a program he would know it's Zubrick. For those who've read Writer's Block, you'll know exactly from whence that name came.

I've just been to a horrid little place called myspace.com, which is like a kiddieland version of this here site, only populated by some of the biggest idiots I've ever seen. Someone suggested I check out a blog there - blog meaning three lines every sixth day or something. It was so peurile and infantile and every other ile - just a bunch of teens trying to be dirty and stupid - they fail miserably at the former and succeed perfectly with the latter. It's really true - being twenty-five today is like really being fifteen - that's seems to be the way it is today, save for a handful of bright young folk, most of whom frequent this here site. I'm just constantly astonished at the high school antics of people in their mid-twenties, all a product of this new century. myass.com would be a better name for it.

I've got a myspace page, of course I'm in my late 20's.

I just finished watching Walk the Line and I really enjoyed it. Reese Witherspoon was good, but Joaquin Phoenix was even better. It's too bad the oscar couldn't have been a three way split between him, David Strathairn, and Philip Seymour Hofffman.

TPunk · « **Reply #217 on:** May 26, 2006, 08:30:51 PM »

While I was watching I started folding laundry, sorting through the mail, and then contemplated pulling out the sewing machine. Then I reminded myself that school is over and that I'm supposed to be relaxing. It's going to take me a while before I can break myself of multi-tasking. The last 3/4 of the movie I just sat and watched. Much better.

TPunk · « **Reply #218 on:** May 26, 2006, 08:31:03 PM »

And post 1000.

Matt H. · « **Reply #219 on:** May 26, 2006, 08:31:49 PM »

Then, I went back to laserdisc for EVERYTHING I HAVE IS YOURS. This was Marge and Gower Champion's first starring roles in a movie (meaning their names were first in the billing). I really like the score for this film, and because they're the stars, not only do Marge and Gower get three duets, but each one gets his or her own specialty. Gower really wasn't a good enough singer to carry a musical number that involved singing as well as dancing, but the dancing is just fine; he's incredibly nimble. Marge's "Derry Down Dilly" is truly a tour de force for her and one of the best but least heralded solo musical numbers in the MGM library.

They do an impressive dream duet in the picture that's done in shades of pink, but it can't hold a candle to the beauty of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" in LOVELY TO LOOK AT (done in a heavenly blue).

Watched last night's Faye Dunaway episode of CSI next. It didn't end the way I remembered! So that was a nice surprise. (I did remember the dinner with Catherine and her parents but not the identity of the murderer.)

Matt H. · « **Reply #221 on:** May 26, 2006, 08:34:47 PM »

And I finished the evening watching some of THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM again. Didn't get far enough into the movie to get to the first (and my favorite) fairy tale - "The Dancing Princess." I'll watch more tomorrow.

FJL · « **Reply #222 on:** May 26, 2006, 08:39:27 PM »

And with TPunk speaking of Joaquin Phoenix, did anyone else do a double-take in the picture in reply #181 above thinking the guy on the right was a dead ringer for Joaquin Phoenix (maybe about five years ago)?

Cillaliz · « **Reply #223 on:** May 26, 2006, 08:48:46 PM »

Congrats on 1000, TPunk

Cillaliz · « **Reply #224 on:** May 26, 2006, 08:50:29 PM »

Thanks DR Maria.

And with this I think I will say good night. It's been a trying couple days and I didn't sleep much at all last night, so I'm going to try to rest.

vixmom · « **Reply #225 on:** May 26, 2006, 08:58:09 PM »

At the last minute Vixter decided to opt for Zathura instead of High School Musical and I quite enjoyed it. I did promise to was HSM with her sometime tomorrow though

vixmom · « **Reply #226 on:** May 26, 2006, 08:59:44 PM »

Sleep well dear reader Cillaliz!! You did do exactly what you had to do and you gave Nilla a good home and lots of love.

~~~VIBES for a Good Nights Sleep~~~~

I found Zathura a special treat - since the Grandlads are about that age. (I wonder what was going thru their minds watching the film?)

PS - Watch the Xtras- they are neat!

There's word that at Friday night's LESTAT, Hugh Panaro did a flawless job in act one but wasn't well enough (a cold, apparently) to do act two, so his understudy went on in act two.

Blood curling news!

Two Lestats for the price of one!

Ain't what Lestat the Musical is going to do?!

You can take out a second mortgage and buy BKs whole "Unsung" series.

Yep, that's right and one Sondheim too! Tony W. keeps recycling the curtains! Even the 2 "S" can be seen!
Love it!

Good evening, fellow Dear Readers. It has been a long day -- not a bad day, just a long one.

Cilla -- Rats! I was hoping for a better outcome. But I know he is at peace now. It's just so hard for the people left behind. I'm glad you have some time off to unwind. You deserve it.

Vix mom-- I hope your head got to feeling better.

Me too! HOWEVER, the revised cover art (that's now on amazon.com) no longer has the "SS" on each of the curtains.

Here's the original "Unsung Sondheim" cover (scanned from my very own personal collection):
