DR Julie - Do you need any computer assistance this week?  I'm sure DR FJL would give me a good recommendation.  ;)

I'm done for the night, too, after watching the 2 playoff games and finalizing some conference publicity.  Two more days off - YAY!

I asked him about that... One of his co-workers came down with the flu big-time last week, so...  However, I'm guessing the stress of the past couple of days hasn't helped matters either.

Oh, dear, poor DR Elmore. When bad things happen to bad people, one can't help but smile. When bad things happen to great people, it seems a crime too unfair to bear. I'm not smiling at all and am gnashing my teeth in anguish for dear Larry's agonies of the moment.

I hope they will go away soon!

One of my Christmas Gifts was a DVD of the series Studio 60

The Vixter was away this weekdn and it was too clod to go out so Vixdad and fired up the old dvd player and watched the series over the weekend



I am still a fan and I am still sorry that the series was not renewed.


The Vixter was home by time we watched the last episode. She has never seen the series as it came on after her bedtime She suprised me when she commented,

"I guess this was the series finale huh?"  

"How did you know?" I asked

"Well all the storylines were so neatly resolved, they would have left at least two of them as cliffhangers for the next season if they were renewed."



guess she's ready to be a TV exec....



(well she is the same age as most of them )

I finished watching all of the bonus features on the LE BONHEUR DVD. There were a ton of them including another short film (30 minutes) made in 1958 which was basically a travelogue of the French Riviera done in the Varda style.

I had a little less than two hours before the start of COLD CASE, so I pulled off the shelf a favorite film of mine I haven't watched in a long time - RADIO DAYS. What a wonderful film it is! Very nostalgic, interesting characters, and some great cameos.

Of course, the minute COLD CASE started, I realized that CBS was playing a rerun (actually the season premiere) which is one of the few COLD CASE episodes I've seen this season, so I turned it off immediately.

With two hours of prime time left and absolutely nothing of interest on TV for me, I went ahead and pulled out the last of the Varda films in the set - VAGABOND. It's the longest of the four films - 106 minutes which certainly isn't long by modern standards.

It's a very melancholy story. A young girl is found dead in a ditch, and we then trace the last three weeks of her life leading up to the death. She's a gypsy, living off her wits and the kindness of strangers, and we get to meet quite a few strangers during the running time - some nice and some not so nice. Still, you know she's coming to a bad end, so it's like a march toward the gallows, and it's a slow, increasingly depressing march. Glad I saw it, but I'm sure I'd never want to watch it again.

This DVD has quite a few bonus features on it as well, but I'll get to them tomorrow. Doesn't look to be quite as many special features as on the past two films.

Off to finish up the Bollywood war film HAQEEQAT (1964) which revolves around several soldiers during the Indo-China War of 1962.

For a Bollywood film it is quite realistically done (despite the musical numbers), and very along the lines of ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT.
