As many will recall, when I visited New York for the first time in 2006, my favorite thing was to be able to hear so many different languages spoken on the street everywhere I went! It just made me happy! I am sure people must have wondered who was this grinning yahoo walking up Wall St!

IMHO the whole immigrant debate reeks of so much xenophobia....and of course it is a debate that has been going on for ....well, forever, I guess...only the names have been changed.

I imagine there were more then just a few native American's who thought the pilgrims should have dropped English and adjusted their European ways to better fit in with the new (old) world.

Having worked on many documentary projects and community outreach projects as well (I live in a mostly immigrant neighborhood) I wish we could increase the "Jeanne pool"!

Thank you, Edi.

elmore - I don't put up the amazon listing until a week before its release - they get too confused otherwise - same with CD Baby and iTunes.

As to myspace - I'm not sure I want to put up the tracks yet unless Cason (who maintains that page) can figure out how to not put up full versions - I don't really want people to be able to download full versions of any of the songs for free. I'll ask him if he can do partial and then fade, like on the Kritzerland site.

Just heard from the guy who's mastering The Creature soundtrack. I'd sent him what I hoped was a reel-to-reel of the songs, so he'd have the best quality for those (the ones I'd sent him were sub-par compared to the score tracks). He just called to let me know that the long-lost alternate Creature vocal (more of a character voice) is on the tape, so we'll include that with the CD. Even better, there are instrumental-only versions of the three songs, so we're going to include those as Karoke sing-a-long tracks.

Actually depends on whether you want a shake or a burger, doesn't it?

It is a compilation CD which I keep meaning to pick up. It is part of the Ultra Lounge CDs that came out a few years back. I understand it is very good.

No packages - very annoying. One is so overdue it's not even funny - a CD that should have been shipped on the 21st or thereabouts - from North Hollywood to North Hollywood.

Has anyone seen Daniel Craig in "Love is the Devil?"

I have it and have heard about it, but I haven't watched it yet.

Well, guess what I just found out - package was "delivered" on the 23rd. Only I don't have it. This is the second time this has happened in the last two weeks and I am hopping mad about it. The post office says one thing, my mail place says something else and it's ridiculous and unacceptable.

I wonder who, among our DRs, ever got this item:

I had it, and it was the only time in my life I ever felt I could draw anything was using that kit.

I remember a charcoal of a woman on a river bank looking at a showboat. I drew that from the booklet using his methods and was very proud of it.

I had a Jon Gnagy art set. I think you could put the plastic on the tv screen and use crayons on it!

I think you're comfusing Jon Gnagy with Winky Dink.

Monet posts reminded me to mention a couple of my favourite art books. My Scanner is no longer connected to the computer. Maybe one of the DRs can finda suitable link to the following books by Brenda Northeast.
For The Love of Vincent
For The Love Of August

Charming books. I think published in Australia about 1997.

I watched two movies this afternoon.

I began with Paul Newman in THE LEFT HANDED GUN. I know the film wasn't well received, buit oh, boy, does it have its wonderful moments. I can imagine Newman becoming a major heartthrob after this film. He's not all that attractive playing a pug in SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME (great performance, but his manner and look isn't as a glamor boy as it shouldn't have been), but in this, he's a walking, talking wet dream, a very charismatic performance.

What an erratic transfer! My heart was wounded as the film first started and there were all these water marks and a blurred picture. As the film continued, many scenes were sharp and clear and spot free, but then we'd get a long shot that looked like a second or third generation dub and then we'd be back to sharp again. There were some pretty noticeable black scratches later in the film, too. This was the best print Warners could find?

My Fox/Doris Day movies came today, so I watched CAPRICE. Looked fine (not quite as bright as I was expecting), and as usual, I enjoyed it.

Thank you Dear Reader Laura for continuing to provide us with visual delights.

Thank you DtM, FJL, Jrand et al for the humour to start my morning. (Not my mourning).

I was very pleased to see the nice extras featured on the disc. I watched the documentary on Doris and her relationship with husband/manager Marty Melcher. Nice to see A.E. Hotchner adding some personal perspective since he co-authored her autobiography.

Matt H. · « **Reply #237 on:** January 30, 2007, 01:55:02 PM »

I also watched the featurette on costume designer Ray Aghayan and enjoyed hearing his comments on the clothes for the movie. Explained a little about the wardrobe and its oddity in her career.

Matt H. · « **Reply #238 on:** January 30, 2007, 01:56:11 PM »

There's another featurette on the making of the film itself which I saved for when I go back down later today. There's also a running commentary which I will listen to parts of.

Amazing that they went to all this trouble for a film that has never been highly regarded. Good for Fox!
