I LOVE BEETS!

Well, I'm not fond of the canned stuff.  

still and all, how do you feel about HOME CANNED BEETS? ? ? And you know I'm not talking about putting beets into tin cans at home!

We watched - it takes a few years to catch up with the world - "Blue Velvet" last night. Uncomfortable movie with MacLachlan and Dern characters hard to accept as believabe at all. Atmosphere created by lighting and music was great.
I think I need to watch the extras on the DVD. I enjoyed Mulholand Drive (sp?) a lot more but did not ever see Twin Peaks.
Any comments?

To be fair to the film PORTRAIT OF JENNIE, I understand that it was severely cut to its present short length. Selznick was so single-minded when it came to Jennifer Jones that he was the worst possible producer for the project. I don't think the film is anything like what it might have been without his interference. That said, I still find it beautiful and haunting. I have never read the book, however.

What a bizarre day this has been. Started three times to watch and continue THE LAST OF SHEILA, and haven't gotten to the end yet.

Raquel Welch is NO actress, at least not in this.

Can't comment, DR Tomovoz...

I have NEVER ever seen any David Lynch movie, and I hardly dare to say so here for fear of getting... lynched!

I know he has turned his talents to music too now....

Thanks for the no comment any way François. Roy Orbison, Bobby Vinton and Ketty Lester are not on my playlist for a while until the movie fades a bit!

No, no!  

The lady whose presence onstage is insurance that the show is closing.

No wonder so many have wanted to see her with her top off.

I'd like to explode one myth about Ronald Reagan.  He is not responsible for ending Communisn in Russia or the "Evil Empire" as his touts love to call it.  Communism in Russia was simply a failing, flailing system that merely happen to implode in on itself while Reagan was in office.  He had nothing to do with it.  It would have collapsed no matter who was president at the time.

Haven't had 'em.  I'm so used to having fresh veggies that the whole home canning process is a mystery to me.

Well, at the start of fall next year, you're cordially invited to come on over and boil, peel, pare and pickle bushel after bushel after bushel of beets. . .not to mention all those Mason Jars.

My buddy Mark has been wanting me to watch the movie SYBIL forever, as it is one of his favorites...today he got me up to his apartment on some pretense and trapped me into watching it...and...it really was a very good movie! Quite an interesting and tragic story...I wonder if the real Sybil is still alive?

On our yesterday sojourn to NYC we "hied" it to the Virgin Megastore at Times Square - the Big Apples latest innovation in ensuring that all visitors to Times Square leave with empty bill folds.

I added:

"Adventures of Robin Hood" - 65th Anniversary 2 Disk Special Edition....
No, Adventures of Robin Hood  is MINE!  MINE!  MINE!  Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

I could write an entire essay on Maid Marian's costume changes!

You do know about those silicone gloves that let you stick your hand (in mitt) into boiling water without getting scalded, right?

We've got them in the store.  Devil red or ice blue, pick your color.

Back from Connecticut where I saw a very fun high school production of MOBY DICK: THE MUSICAL. There are some EXTREMELY talented kids at that school and I hope they continue to pursue their theatrical inklings. I had to laugh because when they found out I was on the cast recording, I all of a sudden became a mini-celeb--signing autographs and talking about the show. I told one of the girls (who was truly amazing) that she should stick with it because she was really good and she said, "Oh, thank you! That means so much coming from you...!" Ha! I'm a nobody, but it was incredibly sweet, and wonderful to see something that I was part of fully realized on a stage.

Now I'm watching "Clue," featuring the sublime Ms. Madeline Kahn and I'm eating Better Cheddar crackers. Not good for the diet, but I don't care.

The statement,
I didn't like the show the first time I saw it, but after subsequent viewings, it grew on me
always bothers me.

It's very expensive to go to the theatre.  And the successful show (or theatre artist) must entertain the first time out.  Normally, writers don't get a second chance to convince an audience their work is worthwhile.

That's not to say I'm not pleased to find that some of you have found enjoyment in a show that you didn't like the first time around.  I applaud you for your faith and perseverance.

Seems to me that human beings run a wide gamut of mental health.  Some of us need to see shrinks regularly, and that's fine.  Some of us are crazy enough to fire guns at presidents, and that's just not acceptable behavior.  When I first saw Assassins, years ago, I was interested in what Weidman and Sondheim had to say about the collection of crazies they portrayed.  The women who shot at Ford have a dialogue that's kind of a collegiate comedy sketch.  Oswald, they suggest, was inspired by the assassins of the past (and future).  I learned nothing new about Hinckly.  Nothing I didn't already know about Czolgosz.  Learned some stuff about the ones I haven't mentioned.  I don't think there's any connection between me and any assassin.  Sure, I have passionate political beliefs, but many of these people didn't.  I would never fire a gun, own a gun, or touch a gun.  So, nothing in Assassins indicts me, or makes me feel I've anything in common with the criminally insane.

To tell the truth, I'm at a loss to figure out what Sondheim and Weidman are saying about the American assassins, but I haven't seen this Broadway version yet.
So, you're suggesting that theater should stick to the lowest common denominator as the level of aspiration?

Slippery slope, ain't it!?

Of course, he won't be hearing any more of the demonizing from now on, either.

Hmm. You've never done something stupid to garner attention? I know I have...and I'd venture to say that most of the other DRs on this board have, too. I'm not saying any of us has gone out and killed someone, but the need for attention is something that we all have in common. Some people choose to sing...some people choose to  compose...some people choose to write books...some people choose to take their clothes off...and some people, extreme as it may be, choose to go out and shoot people. Even presidents. "Attention must be paid." Doesn't justify the act, but it certainly makes it a little easier to understand, which is what is most frightening to me.

To me, it's like with SWEENEY TODD. I would never go out and slit people's throats and grind them into meat pies, but you know what? I find myself empathizing with Sweeney throughout the course of the show. That doesn't make me a psychopath...or does it?

If you haven't finished the film already, stop the film as Richard Benjamin walks the docks at the last port of call.  Then see if you can't figure out the whole mystery.  It's SO nice to see a mystery film that really plays fair, because you CAN solve this on your own!

Whew!

Everybody was SO busy today.  I feel like such a slacker!  DRPANNI - glad you are enjoying the CD - but I am a bit non plussed that RR checked out to Salt Peanuts....although I guess that is better than.....hmmm....no I guess not!  LOL.  (And each song a sing-a-long, but you are right it is NOT background music.)

Thanks DRJAY - I just LOVE Carmina Burana so perhaps I will go looking for a DIE KLUGE CD.  Surely there's one somewhere.

Did I understand the article linked earlier that BOMBAY DREAMS would NOT be presenting a number tonight at the Tony Awards?  I thought they were listed at one time?

Raquel Welch is no actress....period.  I do remember when she was on the Dick Cavett show and he asked her...."How does it feel to turn 40?" and she looked at him and said, "Bastard."  Hehehehehehe.

Okay....late...late....late

I do remember PARIS WHEN IT SIZZLES but mostly because of a very strange credit....I swear it said:  Perfume by Givenchy.  But I couldn't smell it!

I can assure you, Mr Barnum, that if I ever got you up to my apartment on some pretense and then trapped you; watching the movie Sybil would be the last thing on my mind!
