DR JEANNE - I don't think the stars can be blamed for anything this week.

Even Uranus is unusually inactive.

The internet is so helpful in the genealogical research my sister and I are doing.

An interesting story:

In 1756, seven young Quakers were taken from their meeting house in Cedar Creek, VA. The leader of the militia was going to conscript them into the military. All seven (one of the seven was my great (5) Grandfather William Stanley, two of his brothers were also in the group) were taken by force.
They protested saying they would never fight, but were taken to Fort Louden near Winchester, VA. When they refused to fight or even to answer to roll call, the colonel in charge said if they would not fight they would be put to work building the fort. They refused to do that as well.

The colonel ordered them whipped. The seven removed their shirts and stood awaiting their punishment. The sergeant ordered to carry out the punishment was unable to do so.

The Colonel relented and finally sent them to live with Quaker families in the nearby town of Winchester but would not send them home even though their relatives had petitioned Governor Dinwiddie to do so. At the end of the war they were "discharged" and sent home.

The Colonel was George Washington.

The Acadamy voters, on the other hand, have a lot to answer for, imo.

Starting with the nominations.

Bleh.

If anyone is doing Genealogy research, sometimes dates don't match in the 17th and 18th centuries because they are written as OS or NS.

O.S. is the date in the Julian Calendar. N.S. is the date in the Gregorian calendar. They usually vary by about 11 days.

So... Since things tend to go in cycles...

Shall we start a pool on when and what kind of animal will find DRs DerBrucer and SWW next? Another cat? dog? guinea pig?

<wave> DC JJ.

I shouldn't laugh. That used to be me/us, and it could easily be so again.

Oh, it's worth it just to spare yourself from somebody else's cooties.

I do buy "used" from time to time, but I have a little decon procedure I follow before allowing the used DVD or CD to mingle with my collection.

It's a brilliantly sunny day but COLD! What February ought to feel like, of course, but when one has days of spring-like weather, days like this are hard to adjust to.

I began my afternoon viewing with the remainder of BLADE RUNNER which had about 25 minutes left from last night. The new "final cut" is probably the best the movie will ever be,and it's entertaining enough, but I've always found it to be a flawed film and NOT the masterpiece so many want it to be.

The Blu-ray disc handles all the fog and rain easily making it by far the best looking video incarnation of the film I've ever seen.

Matt H. · « **Reply #170 on:** February 27, 2008, 01:17:03 PM »

Next, I watched CHARLIE CHAN IN CITY IN DARKNESS. I had never seen this movie before, set right on the eve of World War II. The murder mystery seems very secondary to all the espionage going on elsewhere. I had never seen the movie before, and I didn't get the murderer right (I was way off). There's a very tiresome French secretary playing second fiddle to Charlie. Charlie gets roughed up more in this movie than I ever remember him receiving in other films.

Matt H. · « **Reply #171 on:** February 27, 2008, 01:18:26 PM »

I watched two of the bonus features on the disc after finishing the movie. The first was on the making of the movie and what was going on in the world with Hitler as the movie was being written and filmed. Very prescient of the writers to plot it as they did not knowing what was coming.

Exactly why I was afraid to laugh, and or vote, on what pet DerBrucer & Woody will find next.

Do you have to drive far?

Matt H. · « **Reply #173 on:** February 27, 2008, 01:19:23 PM »

The other bonus feature I watched had to do with the writing team who was responsible for this film and several others at Fox including Temple, Withers, Grable, Faye, and Henie pictures.

Matt H. · « **Reply #174 on:** February 27, 2008, 01:22:51 PM »

Next, I watched SOUTH PARK IMAGINATIONLAND. Seems to me it was three SOUTH PARK episodes strung together into a "movie." It's the "uncensored director's cut" which means the bleeps have been taken out and we can hear all the profanity. It's also in 16:9 aspect ratio rather than 4:3.

It was funny, and it has some neat satire about the good and bad aspect's of people's imaginations warring with each other. Funny to see figments of the imagination like Captain Hook, Glinda, Luke Skywalker, and Mickey Mouse occupying the same space.

I will use my one-day juror bus pass. Hopefully it won't be 100 degrees that day.

Matt H. · « **Reply #176 on:** February 27, 2008, 01:24:04 PM »

And I watched three bonus features on the disc: two storyboards from the "movie" and a SOUTH PARK episode that introduced the Woodland Critters at Christmas. The Critters also figure in the "movie."

Matt H. · « **Reply #177 on:** February 27, 2008, 01:24:57 PM »

When I go back down I have the audio commentary for the movie to listen to and another SOUTH PARK episode which introduced the Manbearpig character who's also in the movie.

Thank you DR JRand.

A bus pass to get to jury duty, I never heard of that. I guess that also means they don’t have to give you money for traveling expenses if you drive instead of taking the bus-clever on their part.
