Some sites on the Cincy Coney, which apparently is thriving. They're calling the pool the Sunlite Pool. I could have sworn growing up it was the Moonlight Pool. Although there was a Moonlight Gardens, so perhaps in my dotage, I'm merely confusing them.

That last site URL should have no spaces between the hyphen:

Read more about Brian Linehan, who had only a Grade 10 education, by checking out the Toronto Star obituary (link below). Here's the first sentence:

It happened during an otherwise ordinary commercial break on City Lights, Brian Linehan's groundbreaking Citytv interview show. Aging movie star Anne Baxter turned on the affable Mr. Linehan and snapped, "All this nostalgia is very nice, but I'm here to sell my new book. Get on with it!"

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.

And now some encouragement for Dear Reader Jose as he cleans his room. You've all seen the "after" picture of my room. Here's a look at the "before" picture. And yes, those are cans of Cherry Coke.

Panni · « **Reply #155 on:** June 10, 2004, 03:18:43 PM »

I think Sandra's "Before" mess has put us into Cinerama.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #156 on:** June 10, 2004, 03:19:41 PM »

DR Panni: The movie is "That Lady in Ermine" (20th Century-Fox, 1948) which starred Betty Grable and Douglas Fairbanks Jr.

DR MattH: Despite your sarcasm, I apologize for having interpreted your sentence the way I read it, rather than the you hoped everyone would read it

Of course it's my fault entirely...no way could you be wrong about how I should have read it.

Sandra · « **Reply #157 on:** June 10, 2004, 03:19:53 PM »

That was Dan-in-Toronto's link.

No Cinerama here.

Panni · « **Reply #159 on:** June 10, 2004, 03:20:20 PM »

Okay, enough of this frivolity - you're on your own for a short while, gang. I must write brilliant dialogue.

It's doing more than that...it's putting us into insulin shock!

Are those EMPTIES?

Sandra · « **Reply #161 on:** June 10, 2004, 03:24:57 PM »

OK, so it's not really my room. But it's SOMEBODY'S room, which I think is pretty amazing. The only empty Cherry Coke can I have in my room is one I drank without opening. Just another of my many useless talents.

"Prick Up Your Ears" - a great bio. Bought it and watched it a few weeks ago. Had also forgotten to mention the wonderful "Lawrence Of Arabia". Thanks you DR's. I guess "Gods And Monsters" was a fiction (can't remember) and also "Midnight In The Garden Of Good and Evil". I am quite capable of checking these so please don't post links or two page articles. I'm just not interested enough to do it.

FUNNY GIRL was a wonderfully entertaining film but a far from accurate biography. Nicky Arnstein was Fanny's 2nd husband, not her first and that's only the beginning.

Does anyone know if the team of Jones and Schmidt have broken up? Jones is doing lyrics for the musical HAROLD AND MAUDE that's opening at Papermill in January (with Estelle Parsons) with a new composer, Joseph Thalken. Is this a temporary split or have we seen the last of THE FANTASTICKS tam?

No, they have not broken up. Harvey is in Texas doing stuff he wants to do and gave his blessing to Tom on Harold and Maude.

Back from the shoot which was easy and very nice. They ended up having a proper teleprompter, so there was no pressure, lines-wise, and I had a very good time and was very at ease. It helps that my newscaster will only be seen in the film matted into TV sets.

Douglass Trumball, the FX man was and is nowhere near ninety-five. So, either his father died or he died and they're off by about thirty-five years. Mr. Trumball, as I recall, was VERY young when he did 2001.

These are the best choices for bio-pics. Bravo.

MattH: I understand that the Zorba release appears to have come from Fox, but so had the other one - they just frequently slap something on there just to have it. Unless the original film was like some of Ingmar Bergman's early sixties' efforts and shot in 1:33 and just mis-projected here, it will be widescreen and anamporphic. No one has a better track record in this regard than Fox in the last two years.

I come back and everyone thinks that's a reason to stop posting? Is it something I said?

George · « **Reply #167 on:** June 10, 2004, 04:26:57 PM »

Since there's a bit of a lull, let me announce that I'm in the local paper! The Olympian did an article about the anti-trust lawsuit with the big record producers (price fixing) and Timberland Regional Library (where I work) got 2,850 free CDs! There are issues, though. The biggest being multiple copies of CDs. Who (at all) needs 90 (yes, ninety!) copies of The Three Tenors?? We only have 27 branches. Who needs 30 copies of Lee Greenwood's "American Patriot" CD??

Anyway, if you want to read the article on-line and see a picture of me (different than my "Before and After" picture...it's after the "After"), CLICK HERE to read the article.

And notice the original Broadway cast recording of Bloomer Girl on the left? I put that there!

Jennifer · « **Reply #169 on:** June 10, 2004, 04:28:58 PM »

OMG DR Sandra: I totally believed that was your room. And I was in shock. Wow, I cannot believe that anyone would leave all those cans there. Crazy!

Dan-in-Toronto · « **Reply #170 on:** June 10, 2004, 04:35:14 PM »

Nice pic, George.

Sandra · « **Reply #171 on:** June 10, 2004, 04:37:06 PM »

And the really amazing thing is that somebody left all those cans there, took a picture of it, and then posted it on the Internet. And if that really had been my room, I don't think my mom would have let me post that picture.

It's strange what people are proud of.

I live in a large apt. complex, and there's a security camera in the lobby, near the elevators. Not too long ago someone had left her shopping cart near the elevator while she parked her car. Meanwhile, a woman waiting for the elevator spotted the shopping cart, saw there was an 8-pack of toilet paper in it, and swiped it. Of course the theft was caught by the camera, and the management office phoned the thief and asked her return the merchandise. The odd part about the story is that the woman who had swiped the toilet paper began telling people in the building about the incident.

DR Sandra - Thanks for the, um, "motivation". Even if that is not your room... WOW! The one thing I've never kept in my room is "food" stuff - cans, wrappers, napkins, etc. I guess that comes from being the son of food-service parents.

I remember when I was in college, one of the percussionists I would accompant kept a "collection" of all the beer cans he "emptied" throughout the semester. He would stack them up against one wall in his apartment. Some semesters, that "stack" became another wall. It was quite impressive. -And at least he rinsed out the cans before using them as bricks.

Well, time to get back to the laundry. BUT I did at least make a path to the closet and got my hanging stuff put back in the closet.

Any time, Dear Reader Jose.

My brother did that one summer with all his empty soda bottles. It started off as a pile in the corner but eventually took over his whole room. I wish I had a picture of that!

Off to see Stones in his Pockets. Keep the home fries burning.

I haven't had this busy a day and evening in a 'coon's age.

Now that your Dear Brother likes Frank Sinatra, you should convince him to make a guest appearance here. Yours would be the first family with three, count them three, posters at HHW.com, the almost most popular site in all of internetdom.
