Haines His Way

REVOLT:

 No Tough fatty beef.   I mkis DRMusicGuy's coooking.

Oh, boy, is it ever hot and humid! The hot air that rushed in when I opened the door to pick up the mail was just sickening. Ugh!

Next, I watched TWENTY-FOUR EYES. It's the story of a  teacher and her effect on her very first first grade class going from 1928 to 1946. A tearjerker in the same exact vein as GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS and GOOD MORNING, MISS DOVE. Yes, I was weeping constantly through the movie. Those of us who were teachers know at some point we do have an effect on the children who come through our doors, and stories like these just bring it home. Like the teacher in the movie, I was in the classroom long enough to teach two generations of family, see former students become teachers themselves, etc. So, the movie resonated very much for me.

There are not many bonuses on this disc. There is an interview with a Japense film scholar about the effect the movie had on audiences and two trailers. That's all (well, except for the usual booklet Criterion includes in its sets.)

bk - Do you know the "Chris Busch" mentioned in this article?

Sill and Busch Will Be Meredith Willson in Sondheim Center's Banjo Boy

I thought I'd read Charles Busch was playing the elder Willson! I think this musical is a bad idea. Why wopuld you want to write a musical about a composer and have to live up (or down) to the original writer's abilities?

I remember those!  Danged if I can remember the pseudonym used by the authors of the series, though.  (Yep, they were co-written.)

Nathan Aldyne!

Not tonight, Jose.

Headache?

 

DR Ronp, re: what you wrote last night about BIG BROTHER


and america's player.



I actually don't have a hard time believing that dan was chosen.  Even my mom said that he was her guess
I think you'd have to consider who people would want to get the $20K. And most of the others are so objectionable.  

Here is where we seem on different wavelengths.  Dan is fine as a player covering his butt, but not as AP.

To me, he's as irritating as the one they forced on us last year.  I hate that stupid little chuckle he uses each time he has an AP mission...he's so smarmy about it.  Thank goodness it's only for the week.

I'd much rather see Renny or Ollie get $20K.

Nathan Aldyne!

Yes-- they were lovers who wrote them together until they both died very young( most unfortunate).  COBALT, VERMILLION, SLATE, CANARY

So great!

 Nathan Aldyne was the pseudonym of Michael McDowell and Dennis Schuetz. McDowell was a novelist and screenwriter (Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas) living in Boston. He died from complications from AIDS in 1999.   Schuetz, also from Boston, died of complications from AIDS iin 1989. They also published two novels under another collaborative pseudonym, Axel Young.

Way to go, Cilla.

And, BTW, I am back from a 4 mile plus walk to and from the local shoppes.  It was hot and my feet hurt.

DR Cillaliz, CONGRATULATIONS to you and to your client and his family.    

Congratulations, Cillaliz. Please keep us informed as the next phase happens.

Congratulations, DR Cillaliz!  Will there be news coverage for you to share with us?
