Next, I finished the two remaining special features on THE ROCK Blu-ray disc. The first was a brief history of Alcatraz (pretty informative since I didn't remember much about it).

The second was an interview with Jerry Bruckheimer where he talked about getting in the business and his first successes. He seems to have a very level head on his shoulders. Of course, with all the hit movies and the string of hit TV series on the air, he must be worth billions by now.

Then, I put in CASINO ROYALE and watched about 40 minutes of it. It's the first time I've watched it since getting the new set in September, and the picture was really razor sharp with sensational color. And some night scenes were the best looking I've seen on any Blu-ray disc. I will likely finish it tonight rather than going right into CON-AIR tonight.

I ended my afternoon skimming through AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing of interest for me today, and nothing in the previews for next week either. Bah!

MattH--the extortion prices were worth it (though I think it was on sale when it was first released), because all of us that ordered it somehow got transferred to S&E's private email list and were privy to some hilarious negotiations for them to perform in Hawaii (with Don Ho, IIRC). I think we talked about it either here or on CASTRECL (or, heaven forfend, RATM) when it occurred. It was priceless.

Guess I'll brave the rain and see if there's an mail at the mail place, after which I'll return and attempt to write another page or two.

One of Preminger's later films - for which I was actually coincidentally there watching Preminger, Dyan Cannon and company film a key scene - was coincidentally entitled Such Good Friends.

I keep hoping people will forget of its existence.

Kris Stewart e-mailed of his departure from NYMF on Wednesday. One thing I'll say - he kept his ears open. I sent him no fewer than 2500 words of suggestions about how things could be improved, many based on BK's frustrations, and he read and responded to the whole thing. Here's hoping he leaves that memo behind!

Just heard that my nephew's house has been flooded. He lives near the Tweed River on the New South Wales/Queensland border. At least he can stay up stairs and he does have a boat. Walking the dogs may be a problem today!

In a word: No.

Slingslaw - check the label! After 4 hours of a good thing you should seek medical assistance.

I am looking for some new authors of mysteries. As most of you know, I adore both Minette Walters and Laurie King--both authors whose stories have a somewhat psychological bent. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Good psycho-thriller and historical fiction combined.

I've done about four pages and am now taking a break, listening to one of my favorite teenage-years albums, which has FINALLY made it to CD in Japan (as a mini-LP) - Pete Jolly, Little Bird. It's as wonderful as it was all those years ago when I discovered it.

There are probably a few Bobbsey Twins films as well that he can recommend.

I remember Dyan Cannon going on talk shows like Johnny Carson and Mike Douglas bad-mouthing Preminger as a sadistic fiend. I think she was ready to quit the business after making SUCH GOOD FRIENDS.

Matt H. · « **Reply #202 on:** January 04, 2008, 03:10:21 PM »

Well, I'll be heading down now to continue with CASINO ROYALE and probably a BONES episode, too.

Then, WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB at 9 on ABC (new episode).

I feel bad typing this (since i know some people like DR TCB are in pain all the time). But I did something to my lower back and am in terrible pain.

I'm not sure if you call it the lower back. But it just under the small of the back.

It started to hurt on wednesday. ANd then got quite a bit worse yesterday. By last night it was quite bad and today it was very bad.

And it was such a stupid thing i did. I could not figure out at first what it was. But now i'm pretty sure it's this game of "swing" i played with my niece.

I've had a lot of neck troubles in the past. But i've never felt anything like this in this area. ANd it just hurts so much!

I'll probably only last another few minutes sitting here. But i noticed something interesting in my tv's guide today.

Even though there are very few new shows on tv, on monday at 10pm there will be 4 things on here!

And a new show (CASMERE MAFIA) starts sunday at 10pm right after the last new episode of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES.

DR Jeanne - Have you read Michael Chabon's most recent work: the novellla, "The Final Solution", and "The Yiddish Policeman's Union"?

*And I just checked Amazon, and am wondering why I didn't realize he had a new book out this past October, hmm....
