Oscar indifference is rampant. Even

George Clooney's Parents

won't be in attendance.

Well, if THEY'RE not going, I don't see why I should!
Oh! I'm not. Just as well.

Why are most of E!'s "commentators" so inane?

It seems like they'll put anyone on the tube!

This snake-woman in the film I am watching has so far killed 3 people and danced in four musical numbers.

And not necessarily in that order!

How many costume changes has she had so far?

I'm just curious why you wouldn't read anyone's spoiler posts in yellow. Anyone who does it is only trying to be considerate. But it will be hard to discuss shows like LOST if nobody is reading the posts.

I get if a person doesn't want to post in yellow. But not to read others posts if that show interests you?

I believe posting a SPOILER warning is quite sufficient as a consideration of other people. Taking extra measures because someone is unable to skip past such a post is not my idea of being considerate. It's kowtowing to someone's lack of self-discipline/inability to be alert to the warnings.

It's quite one thing to post SPOILER warnings about shows that recently aired. Ten weeks from now, I don't believe I should be under any PROHIBITION of any kind to discuss -- without warnings -- the completed season.

And I don't have any interest in finding/using/reading an alternative "invisible" means of writing.

SPOILER has worked perfectly well for years. One person's inability to heed that without reading the post calls for extra precautions on that person's part, not mine/ours.

Good Afternoon!

Well... I got an unexpected call from my friend, Jack, a couple of hours ago. We worked together about five years ago, and besides a couple of e-mails since then, we haven't really talked to each other or seen each other... He's in town for some business, and, luckily, he remembered that I keep my phone number in my e-mail signature, so, he gave me a call... And about 30 minutes later we met up at Dinosaur BBQ for a very hearty late lunch. And since it was not that busy today, we were able to linger a bit and catch up on things. All in all, a very nice way to spend part of this afternoon.

He had to head back to his hotel to prepare for his presentation tomorrow, so he won't be joining in the Oscar Bash Festivities.

Do you have the flight number? The flight status information is generally readily available online.

Just spoke to Ron. Charlotte's on schedule. I guess I should have asked for cell phone vibes as well!

I knew someone like that once.

This past week I had to deal with someone like that--well, not so much snakey, as just OBNOXIOUS.

my nephew is saddened today, a freind of his has passed away after battling AIDS for years. He was only 16. He acquired it from a transfusion.

Ginny · « **Reply #256 on:** February 24, 2008, 02:44:44 PM »

My thoughts on the Bobby character in Company: I think he has to be adorably charming (but not smarmy) in order for his aloofness to be so frustrating to the women in his life.

And, in that Doyle production, what were those 3 girlfriends doing in all the couple scenes, anyway?

Not a pretty sight.

DR Jennifer - As for the whole SPOILER warning "crap" - pardon my non-French...

I'm with DR Ron Pulliam - There's really no reason for any of us to be that careful when it comes to posting spoilers. -Especially since the request would entail having no "open" discussions about lost until sometime later this year. HHW is not the only site where spoilers could get posted/discovered/read accidentally.

And, frankly, if DR Michael Shayne had stayed around yesterday to respond to the responses to his "request", well, I might - and that's a very small "might" - have considered his request. I understand that we all have varying schedules which may affect how often we check in and post here on HHW and elsewhere, but just to drop by, post an ultimatum of sorts, and then leave, well...

And, again, as many of us have already stated... It's just a TV program. And, in fact, I find it foolish that we even have to discuss this. There is nothing wrong with waiting for the DVDs to view the program, but there's also certainly nothing wrong with watching the show when it originally gets broadcast.

Heck, we might as well ask for spoiler warnings on Election Night since some of us work evenings. NOT!

I have no information except that I just called Charlotte's phone and a young man answered and said that the phone had been lost. This concerns me for two reasons:
1. I can't reach her parents
2. where is Charlotte?

This is most frustrating and I am a bit alarmed at the moment

DR Elmore - there will probably be good explanations for these anomalies. Hope you hear something confirming soon.

If we only knew which airline Charlotte is flying on, we could probably determine her flight number.

I feel this issue of Spoilers, since I'm often on the firing line, has been drummed to death. TV programs are like fish and guests: after three days it ain't new. And if you're still in the dark, tough.
