Unfortunately that person is far from a joking matter François.  I'd not like her in charge of  pushing buttons.

I'm off to bed.  And not a bed of rice, either.  :)

Should we sing "Beautiful Simer" to you?

Pleasant dreams!

I'd rather have a bed of vice but.... ;)

A bed of ice would calm me down!

Would love to be on the rocks! :-\

I watched first the documentary on the making of SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH. For those who have never seen the play or read it, it gave good information on the specific changes the movie version contained that softened its impact from the more visceral stage version.

The movie itself of SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH was very enjoyable. I had forgotten how wonderful Paul Newman is in this film, and yet he was denied an Oscar nomination when his fellow co-stars all earned bids in the other acting categories.

I then watched reruns of CSI and CSI: NY which CBS showed tonight. Both episodes were from this season, and the CSI case in particular was a heart-wrenching one involving a body found stuffed in a chimney.

Heading off to bed now. For some reason, I'm finding it hard to keep my eyes open this evening.

Good night, everyone!

Tomovoz, I'm embarrassed by the puns that are going through my head, so I'll say it quietly, risotto voce if you will:  Did that Rice Stevens production of THE KING AND I feature the Uncle Ben's Cabin segment?


ROTFLMAO!!!

IN honor of the French, perhaps I'll go make a nice Rice Piaf.


I think I am a little short of Piaf and it is hard to swallow.

Okay, so it should have been sparrow, but that isn't punny.  And wasn't he also Nixon's Vice President?

She’s admitted that she made a big mistake posing sitting on the Vietcong anti-aircraft gun. She’s apologized countless times for that mistake. How many of us do not have something akin to that - in one way or another - in our past? And how many of us have the guts to say, “I made mistake. It was a stupid thing to do. I’m sorry.”


Sorry, but many of us who were there at the time don't buy it.
We think her apologies are half-hearted and self-serving.
We think Jane Fonda was a traitor, plain and simple - and there is no acceptable apology for treason!

End of counter rant.

And fortunately, derBrucer; in this country, both sides have a right to their own opinion.

Back from Moon Over Buffalo.  Weak play, but some solid laughs, just as on B'way.  The production was okay - the actors were okay, but this type of play needs expert farceurs and stars.  Also, the second act, if done properly, should not run fifteen minutes longer than the first act.
