DR Ron Pulliam: If you DO get that box set today - and I truly hope that you do - will that change Wednesday from Blech to Bravo?

Wow! Fifty years ago for WEST SIDE STORY?

Dunno. Depends upon how I feel at the time....blech for now.

But, of course, HAPPY WEDNESDAY to everyone.

Don't let my blechs bring down the party.

I know that I am supposed to be getting my copy of the "Mickey-Judy" DVD box today, but the DHL tracker places the box in Ohio at 4:51 a.m. today.

DHL works wonders. So, we'll see.

Mine has not yet shipped. But it's okay since I wouldn't have time to watch any of them anyway at the moment.

I was reading Robert Harris' comments about them. According to him, none of the original negatives exist, lost in the infamous MGM fire. So, they look as good as they're ever going to look on these transfers.

And a very MERRY UNBIRTHDAY to anyone not having a birthday today.

Then you ARE backlogged. For me, it's not an issue of having time to watch the movies....it's the actual HAVING in my possession the boxed set that matters. It's the KNOWING I can watch any of those movies any time I want that matters.

Can't do that if I don't have it. That's the way my mind works on these things, these days.

I had a bacon and egg sandwich on sourdough toast for brekkies this morning.

I was hungry. The sandwich smelled wonderful. It tasted better.

And now it's just sitting in my stomach, growling at me.

I hear you, DR Ron Pulliam! My mind works similarly on these matters.

I'm downloading an upgrade to the firmware for my PS3, so I'm closing this window down to hopefully speed up the process.

It's odd how such thngs translate into "comforting" security issues, isn't it!

This morning on TCM: "Andy Hardy's Blonde Trouble"

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #103 on:** September 26, 2007, 08:15:39 AM »

There has been a rather damning discussion of Mickey Rooney over at the Film Score Monthly Messageboard lately. It's subject line is "Mickey Rooney -- Bright Light or Dim Bulb?"

The consensus is that despite his screen presence in the 1930s and 1940s, he's known to be a royal shitheel.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #104 on:** September 26, 2007, 08:16:23 AM »

One or two of the participants in the thread have worked with Rooney in the past.

Still, there are always other sides to a story.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #105 on:** September 26, 2007, 08:18:54 AM »

For anyone interested, another thread, with "Cinemascope" in the subject line, has become a repository for color stills of such films as "The Robe", "How to Marry A Millionaire" and "Demetrius and the Gladiators". Said stills are from sets issued in the UK in the early 1950s....and are unlike the hand-colored b/w stills U.S. theaters displayed.

I'm either putting folks to sleep....or they've all gone out and shot themselves.

Interesting link, DR RLP.

Yes, I agree. It was my dream when I was small to be able to watch a movie any time I wanted and not be at the mercy of the some times inexplicable programmers.

NEVER thought it would happen. I now I can! If I have the movie!

I'm enjoying my lazy morning, but am out of Diet Coke and will have to toddle downstairs to get one in mere moments.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #109 on:** September 26, 2007, 08:27:47 AM »

But I can frenzy.

Oh, yes! I can frenzy.

I've been frenzying for YEARS!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #110 on:** September 26, 2007, 08:28:58 AM »

I'd kill for a Canada Dry Ginger Ale on the rocks with a twist of lime.

I'll settle for a glass of ice water, though.

When listening to LP soundtracks as a teenager (back in the 1960s!), I used to watch the LP rotate at 33 1/3 rpms and daydream that the stylus would one day serve double duty as a projector and project the scene from the movie while the music was playing.

Sadly for me, it's always the movie I don't have that I suddenly MUST see at all costs. Once I get it, it's then ANOTHER title I must see.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #118 on:** September 26, 2007, 08:34:45 AM »

LOL.....true DR RLP.

I would close my eyes and imagine the movie.....if I had seen it, that was a bonus, if I hadn't I would make up the action on the screen.

Thank goodness I bit the bullet and went digital cable.

TCM is filling a lot of holes in my collection. And it ain't costing a fortune.
