I loved the doggie pictures, DR MBarnum, but Mark and James are also fine male specimens themselves!

With some household chores, fixing and eating lunch, and some very ebjoyable telephone conversations, I only had time to finish LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN. I think the second half of the film looked better in the transfer than moments of the first half that I commented on last night. Much of it was truly beautiful.

Then, I flipped on the running commentary on LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN thinking it was just going to be Darryl Hickman (who, I was very much impressed with on that TCM Child Star interview program.) Instead, it was Richard Schickel commentating with some Darryl Hickman comments spliced into Schickel's commentary.

Hickman's comments were quite astute and interesting. DUring the course of the film, he commented on the film's director John Stahl being so unhelpful, and then went on to say that George Cukor was his favorite director because he gave so much to the actors. (He also had very positive things to say about John Ford and Elia Kazan as directors and Spencer Tracy and Henry Fonda as very giving actors.)

When I go back down, I'll finish the commentary and then watch SUPERNATURAL and 30 ROCK that I haven't gotten to yet.

After that, I'll probably watch TERMINATOR 2 on Blu-ray for my movie of the evening. It's long (too long in my opinion) so it will take up a good amount of time to see the whole thing. I don't know if the Blu-ray has any kind of special features on it or not.

Not on topic at all but we watched Peter Jackson's "Heavenly Creatures" tonight.  I've not seen it since it was first out.  It stands up very well indeed.

I have always wanted to see this movie. Especially after learning that I've been reading one of the girl's books. Anne Perry.

I wonder if Perry's "friend" Pauline Parker ever went on to write as well.  Time to Google I guess.

I am getting over a very bad cold.  I feel like I hardly went to work at all last week what with the MLK Day holiday, a sick day and leaving early every other day.

Oy! This cold has me wiped out.  I keep planning to get things done but then stop and think....maybe I ought to sit down.  I am getting laundry done, so that's something.  I went to the grocery store and cashed in a pickle jar full of coins at the bank in the store.  It was only $17. I still have another jar and a half to take in, so we'll see. Anyway, I bought this saline nasal spray and it really took away the pain. No meds just a saline solution.

I know how you feel. I should have taken more than one day. But we have an audit coming up and I felt that I had to be there if only to get my paperwork squared away.

I don't know, but that McDonald's just look like a gas station to me, and that boy does not seem to need a "fill up" at all!

A friend is coming over tonight who is curious to see Blu-ray, so I'm holding off watching TERMINATOR 2 until he arrives. Until then, I'll fill in with the TV shows I still have on the DVR and perhaps a regular DVD movie.

I'm back from NY, which was great, apart from not getting to see DR Elmore! I even got to see a little snow!

The Tony Shalhoub play, "The Scene" was fun---Patricia Heaton was terrific, too. (I'd worked on two project she did with TNT and wasn't real impressed but I really enjoyed her in this show.)

I talked with Tony afterwards and gave him an update on our film. He said he hadn't seen it yet (we'd sent him a copy as soon as it was done but maybe he didn't get it) so I had one I handed off to him. Hope he likes it!

I got all of my loading of egg cream film tapes done and had some time before my flight last night, so I went down to the Lower East Side Tenement Museum and took a tour. I have never timed my trips to be able to do this---they are often sold out---so I was happy to be able to go on one of their tours.

Then, as research for the egg cream film, I had to go to Eisenberg's on 5th and have my first NY egg cream. I met the owner, Josh, who will be in our film. Apparently, this place had been there since the 20's and threatened to close. Josh was so upset about losing the place that he bought it and runs it now. Great guy!
