I'm turning on and you're just turning

Quick, in which movie does that line appear? Bonus, who speaks that line? Another bonus, to whom is the character referring?

TAX cigarettes.

Better yet, de-criminalize pot - regulate it, and Tax the hell out of it! (You could probably generate enough tax income to provide health care for all disadvantaged minors in the state.)

Of course de-criminalizing, and then regulating, all recreational drugs would result in a giant reduction in the crime rate (particularly crimes against property) - not to mention a dramatic lowering of prison needs).

Overcrowded California prisons and the incarceration of drug offenders

Quote

"Nearly three decades after California cracked down on rising crime rates with tougher sentencing laws, Californians are beginning to realize the downside of what many experts say has been one of the most poorly planned prison expansions in the country. A recent Justice Policy Institute study states that California leads the nation in drug offender imprisonment with a rate of 115 per 100,000 (the national average is 44 per 100,000).
…
By the year 2000, there were 458,131 drug offenders incarcerated in America's prisons and jails – approximately the size of the entire US prison and jail population of 1980. This means that nearly one in four (23.7%) prisoners in America is incarcerated for a non-violent drug offense. Contrary to the public perception that the incarceration of violent offenders has driven America's prison growth the major group responsible for the overcrowding of California's prisons is non-violent drug offenders.

I worked with him in 1987, not too long before he died.

I certainly hope there was no connection between the two incidents.

Hmmmmmmmmmm - intriguing quote DR BEN.

"Can I take your drink order?"

"Yes, I'll have a Helen Keller."

"What's a Helen Keller?"

"Scotch and wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-h"

Nope, it will be revealed in tomorrow's notes. It's not what you might be thinking. MusicGuy and I are on the the same plane (astral not air) and we know whereof we speak

Ahhh....I thought there were hints of birthdays, but I shall eagerly anticipate astral revelations.

That score was by Johnny Green! I worked with him in 1987, not too long before he died. I dearly loved him.

I want to know much, much more about this working with him.

Pray, tell all! The guy who wrote the liner notes for this new release once interviewed Green specifically about the score and also did a complete score analysis, which was printed in a Library of Congress publication.

In an interview he did for "The Cue Sheet", the in-house publication of the Film Music Society (formerly the Society for the Preservation of Film Music), Green had a lot to say about many things he did, among them "Oliver!" about which, he promised, he was going to write a book. It never happened, but one hopes he had notes that may one day come to light.

The other day when we were discussing breakfast foods, I mentioned my blueberry crepes. They sound a lot like blintzes - a thin pancake filled with a cream cheese/sour cream mixture, rolled up, baked, then topped with blueberry syrup laced with Curacao.

Would you like me to order something from Kritzerland for you to use?

Actually, wouldn't it be a hoot if Kritzerland started selling full-color, cardboard face masks of Guy Haines?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #224 on:** January 31, 2007, 01:04:44 PM »

Everyone who got together for a Hainsie/Kimlet function could show up wearing a Guy Haines mask.

INSTANT RECOGNITION!

Thanks. I just don't know what to ask.

Here's one...including last night's, how many episodes have there been?

Five.

I think Peeler Lawford, Franki Sinatra and Sammi Davis were in that one.

I had told myself I wasn't going to last through the entire commentary for CAPRICE, but since I was already about halfway through the film, I did listen to the rest of it.

Poor guys would never come out and say that the movie flopped, but flop it did. It was really Doris' lowest grosser of the 1960s to that time (BALLAD OF JOSIE ended up being the lowest). I think even JUMBO did better business.

Matt H. · « **Reply #237 on:** January 31, 2007, 01:37:17 PM »

Next, I watched last night's VERONICA MARS. Excellent, rather heart-breaking missing persons mystery for Veronica to solve.

I wasn't the least bit surprised about Madison and Logan. (Did we ever see him with her? I honestly can't remember. If we did, I guess that's why I wasn't surprised!)

Edi - I don't know that you'd necessarily even get face value for the tickets, since I assume people that want to see the show can get tix at the box office. However, we'd LOVE to make a donation. Can we send you the check, and what is name of the charity to make the check out to? Or is there a site where we can donate online and have it credited to this particular event?

Matt H. · « **Reply #239 on:** January 31, 2007, 01:40:16 PM »

BOSTON LEGAL has now enetered the territory of other shows where almost everybody in the cast is sleeping with, dating, or otherwise interested in someone else in the cast. It all gets rather tedious and predictable.

This week's courtroom scenes were ridiculous in the extreme (Shelley Berman was the befuddled judge), but as Spader and Shatner said in the closing moments, regular viewers know to expect and not be surprised about anything so you just take it with a grain of salt and go on.
