But instead of anything shamelessly wild and showy, like the boogaloo or the monkey.....

I shall stand here coyly, and just do a small shoulder-shake, as my dance contribution.

Maybe Elmore could add in an occasional pelvic thrust......

BK: re your Dreamgirls posting on "that other site: (not to be confused with "that other label"):

You posted:

Quote

15 mil is okay. What's not okay is the cumulitive numbers - they make no sense - this film hadn't grossed over 20mil prior to Christmas, except in the Dreamworks Fantasyland.

Now the 15 Mil you said was OK was projected for this three day weekend (roughly 5 Mil/day). The 20 Mil you question would be for the four day holiday period 25-28 Dec (again, roughly 5 Mil/day) (Actuals reported at 22 Mil)

IF the 15 Mil is reasonable, then a projected Yearly Gross of $38 Mil seems reasonable.

What am I missing.

I just thought it would be fun, at the close of the year, to share a picture of a very fond memory involving a true star and a truly gracious and charming lady from film history.

This was from a special evening, quite a while ago, when the AFI gave a special award to Lillian Gish, and they presented it here in Phoenix. After the main program, Kerry and I were invited to a private party for Miss Gish, and we both had a chance to visit with her individually.

This picture was taken while Miss Gish and I were talking about silent films, the score music that I had played for a number of them (obviously in later years), and remembering a number of the grand old movie palaces in the Los Angeles and Hollywood area.

What a warm and friendly lady she was!

I'll be back later to check on the goings-ons, and the ons-goings here in the Living Room.

Save me a shrimp cocktail shrimp !

Just got back from the laundromat. do we know how to party or what?

The people who have a get-together every year are in the midst of kitchen repairs. We were all expecting to go there so none of us made a back-up plan. The weather is horrible and rainy hard, so everyone feels like staying put. We're going out for Vietnamese food with a friend who usually parties with us, dropping presents off to friends with the torn up kitchen, and then going into Atlanta to watch the year change in the new house. We also usually celebrate with my best friend but the weather is too bad for her to drive here from Athens, so we will go there tomorrow to celebrate with her and give her her Xmas presents.

I plan to return at least for a mountain-time HHW celebration!

Happy New Year to all my friends and compatriots on this here site!!! What a strange year it has been, how strange the past three weeks have been, and on it goes.

I'm at my sister Rikki's tonight - I went to Costco day before yesterday to buy a slab o' salmon and a metric ton o' mushrooms, and I shall cook these delicious items simply, and toss a salad, whee, toss toss, and we will bite cheeses and sip some Veuve Cliquot and watch old movies, like the two old spinsters we are.

Sigh.

And life goes on. And on. Where have the last 8 years gone? And where was I while they were going wherever the hell they went??

Ah, me... but there is a swell dawg here to celebrate with, and my fine sister, Rikki, and all of us in good fettle/mettle/kettle. So go ye and have a good one! See y'all next year, hear?

Thank you. It's started off well. François is on vacation so is unlikely to be on the NET for three weeks.

We have supped and are now well into The Devil Wears Prada. My DH and DS knew not to cross me on tonight's movie choice.

I have a bottle here of something called Veuve Vernet - is that champagne?

bk · « **Reply #378 on:** December 31, 2006, 05:38:01 PM »

It's left over from the Deceit opening night party.

bk · « **Reply #379 on:** December 31, 2006, 05:38:30 PM »

Does on chill champagne before opening, should Veuve Vernet be champagne, that is.

While Sherlock has lost most of his puppy fur and is in the gangly stage, Maia's adult fur is growing in & looking very pretty.

Except Michelangelo was much younger than Lee!

DR TOMofOZ - I enjoyed IT'S TRAD DAD quite a bit.

I thought Craig Douglas and Helen Shapiro were both very good, and I liked ALL of their songs. BUT Helen's voice....well...she sounded like a man! LOL....it was funny to hear that voice coming out of that small girl.

Lots of fun, though. I am glad I taped it!
