Dear Friends:

Many thanks to all of you who have inquired after my well-being.  Also, apologies to those who have been concerned.
I figured you were still alive.  A google on your name showed some activity on the other boards.

Keep well.

I have no ideas as to what to post for a page seven dance.

None at all.

So it's not her so much as the plants, and you may find the same trouble wherever you go.

Though of course she shouldn't ignore your emails!

Had a long meeting with the pressing plant lady.  I now know where the plant is and can simply drive over there if there are any further problems.  They screwed up and sat on the print files for two weeks before delivering it to the printer - hence the print isn't finishing until this afternoon, at which point it will go to the plant - the discs are already pressed, so I'll have them tomorrow.  

I told her that if we're to continue, and it's a big if, I will need guarantees from her and the plant regarding due dates, and if due dates are not met, then the job is free.  If either of them are unwilling to do that, then I'm gone.

- but Bruce is right, it makes it look less attractive to potential commercial producers.

Seems like a Catch-22. You don't want university theaters to produce it because it cheapens the product, but if you can't get a commercial producer, no one will ever see it anyway.

Yes, anyone who wants to read, can come see me here - they just have to be willing to get to NY on their own dime.  In fact, I had a call today from someone who wants to audition - a person from the cast of the film I like to call The First Nudie Musical.

Sorry to hear about Doug Marlette. He was much loved here in Atlanta, and the first political cartoonist I read regularly. I didn't know he was writing books, too.


I highly recommend reading THE BRIDGE.

DP Colin and I have only three more episodes of "Deadwood" to watch.
I would not have believed I could get so involved in a "Western". I think Matt H. was the only other person on the board who watched it.

We recently watched the first two episodes.  Season 1, disc 2 arrived yesterday.

Too often we have trouble understanding what they are saying which is very distracting.

A question for those DRs who enjoy television series on DVD via Netflix, etc...

I believe you get them in the mail, one disc at a time...i.e., Season 2, Disc 4.

How long do you typically wait for delivery of the next disc?  Is it a problem remembering what was going on with the various story arcs when the next disc arrives?

I'm thinking it might make a difference, too, which series.  For example, Lost seems more intricately plotted, whereas the delay wouldn't bother me on a show like Quantum Leap, where the story arcs don't reach over many episodes.

I forgot to mention that while I did not get to stop and eat at Papayaking in NYC, they did have one at the airport where I had one of their delicious hot dogs.

Last night, in the middle of EUReKA, there was a series of clanks eminating from the bathroom.  The protest was duly noted.  Hilarity ensued.

Not weird, or we both are.  Her name is fun to say.:)

When we order a series on NetFlix we usually begin with the first disc, just to be sure we want to continue.  Then we space the discs, maybe two or three numbers apart, on our queue.  

With DEADWOOD we received the 2nd disc a couple of days after returning the first one.  Since we don't watch more than one episode a night it works for us.  You can place the entire series at the top of your queue and get them faster.

I began my afternoon finishing SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM which I began rewatching last night.

It's so funny: even though I've seen this four or five times now, I always forget portions of the story. For example, when Donald goes to the prison to see the man arrested for the murder (he's innocent), I didn't remember that this even happened this time! And the next-to-final scene with Morgan Fairchild I had also forgotten from my last viewing.

Sounds like beaucoup de frustration with the pressings,about the only consolation being that I hadn't placed my orders yet so it was a good reminder. Back to work tomorrow and I'll be able to get myself Kritzerland ready.

Next, I watched a MURDER SHE WROTE episode with another big guest star cast: Donald O'Connor, Connie Stevens, Anne Francis, Elaine Joyce, Sheldon Leonard, Gavin McLeod, Donnie Most. The three girl singing group is reuniting for a special, and a murder happens in the same theater where another unsolved murder had happened 25 years previously. Very entertaining mystery; actually, Jessica solves two murders in this one.

IVAN'S CHILDHOOD did come in the mail today, so I watched it to end my afternoon, a haunting story of a preteen doing spy work for the Russians on the German front at the end of World War II. This was the first film of Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky (probably best known for SOLARIS), and what an auspicious debut it was!

I will be watching JESSE JAMES today. I'm hoping the Fox DVD looks good because it is a three-strip Technicolor production, and Tyrone Power in good Technicolor (especially in his younger years) is awesome to watch.

To me, Tyrone Power is reason enough to watch ANYTHING.

Have you ever tried sleeping on top of a washing machine?

I know several folks who swear by that as a sure fire method to get babies to sleep.

Maybe it mimics the effects of riding in a car. I also had one friend who strapped the baby on her back on the riding mower (seems dangerous to me, but...) and it always put her baby to sleep. Sometimes she did this even when the lawn didn't need mowing!
