I remember Acquanetta doing car commercials a loooong time ago.

That's her!! She also had some kind of television show about movies: Acqua's Corner.

A quick Hello and then I must start my day...TPunk, so good to see you back!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #32 on:** September 24, 2006, 07:41:15 AM »

Good Morning!

I'm up! I'm up! So much to do! So much to do!

-But that's a good thing.

In any case, I do hope the forecasted bad weather does not delay bk's flight into Newark, nor his trek from the airport into The Big Apple. *I suspect that that trip may end up being a bit more hassle-filled - as opposed to Hasselhoffed - due to the way the rain makes people drive. And since a a bridge and/or tunnel is bound to be involved... But again...

Safe travels.

DR TPunk - Good to see you again!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #35 on:** September 24, 2006, 07:44:50 AM »

See... Just like Madonna sang... Sooner or later, we all come back. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later. But we all come back.

DR TPunk - how nice to see your sweet smile! Too bad you've had to miss the recent get-togethers (or would that be gets-together?). How's your schedule for this coming week when BK's in town and next week when several DRs (and my DH) will be there?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #37 on:** September 24, 2006, 07:51:59 AM »

Well, I must get ready to meet the HHW Contingent from Down Under. I really am looking forward to seeing Tom and Colin again - they were such wonderful hosts to me when I was in Melbourne a few years ago.

And then it looks the rest of my day will also be HHW-themed...

So, until later...

Laters...

Please, friends, stop me! I've spent more than an hour looking for my NYC Metrocard from last January. You see, DH Richard still has his and it's good until Nov. 30, 2006. Mine is nowhere to be found. I know I can just get another one, but it's so uncharacteristic for him to have saved something like that and me to have discarded it. Someone, please, tell me to give it up!

Wish I could be in NYC for all the HHW festivities! Hopefully there will be photos!

Good morning!

We're back to late summer now with temps in the 80s and lows only in the low 70s. My central A/C popped on during the night since the house was so muggy. I'm sure it'll be running a good bit today, too. Tomorrow should bring some relief.

Matt H. · « **Reply #42 on:** September 24, 2006, 08:11:01 AM »

I remember Acquenetta from TARZAON AND THE AMAZONS. One of my favorite Weismeuller RKO Tarzan films.

Matt H. · « **Reply #43 on:** September 24, 2006, 08:11:44 AM »

Looking forward to THE MOON SPINNERS this afternoon. Should be fun. Then, I'll go back to disc 2 of GREY'S ANATOMY.

Matt H. · « **Reply #44 on:** September 24, 2006, 08:12:38 AM »

I also plan on watching BROTHERS & SISTERS tonight after DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. I'll be DVRing COLD CASE and WITHOUT A TRACE. Those two will probably start late due to football overruns anyway.

Good morning. I was supposed to get up in time to take the hound to the park for the weekend gathering with his friends. I woke up very early - then went back to sleep and missed it. Bad dog mom!

I have three books to finish today - one a favorite book from childhood that I'm re-reading. Happily it's turned out to be just as wonderful as I remembered it to be - even more so. Any of you fans of the Freddy the Pig series by the wonderful Walter R. Brooks? Now that I've reread the first one (Freddy Goes to Florida), I'll go back and reread the rest of the series. I can't tell you how much I loved them as a child!

Speaking of THE CLOSER (which i also love) It has started here in Canada (we don't get TNT). Tomorrow will be our third episode.
The last episode with Brenda's (kyra) mother was so good. Yeah!

DR Jennifer, I'm surprised you don't have TNT, since they have a presence in Europe, Asia and Latin America. What network carries the show for you?

I LOVE Francis McDormand as Brenda's mother. Originally, they were throwing around the idea of Joanne Woodward, another Southerner who grew up across the square from my house, (on the Alton Brown side!) but once I saw and heard FMcD, I really believed she could be the mom! Her accent really matched Brenda's too, which is unusual---a lot of times people do their own brand of southern accent and they don't match. It's very regional...Henry Higgins would have had a lot of fun studying the Southern accent!

DR EDISAURUS, I think you can safely assume that any film she appeared in could be called lurid.

I am SO tracking down Acquanetta, even though she sounds like a hairspray. And the fact that hairspray like Aquanet creates holes in the ozone, and she's from Ozone---it's all too too!

So my topic would be: what are your favorite "LUUUUURRID" films?

It seems "cheesy" would be a better adjective!

I'm sure you mean Frances Sternhagen as she actually plays Brenda's mother. And she deserves a guest actor Emmy nomination next year for her performance. I adored her episodes this past season.

For Matt:

The opening sequences of CSI on Thursday (Cirque du Soleil, empty theatre, Vegas night-scape) were some of the best uses of network HDTV I've seen yet.

Here's an appropriate idea for a documentary by Edi-saurus:

Scientists Report Dinosaur Find in Utah

Quote

SALT LAKE CITY (Sept. 22) - The remains of two dinosaurs believed to be millions of years old were discovered in southern Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. They have been covered in plaster jackets and will be flown out of the remote area to the Utah Museum of Natural History in Salt Lake City.

Fun science and great visuals!

Favorite lurid movies..H. G. Lewis' made in Florida films BLOOD FEAST (1963) and 2000 MANIACS (1964).

1968s NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

1957s REFORM SCHOOL GIRL

1958s HOT CAR GIRL

Oh, gosh, there are so many more I am sure.

MBarnum · « **Reply #59 on:** September 24, 2006, 10:18:35 AM »

DR Jeanne,

My fascination for unusual films began as a tiny tot. I watched so much TV as a kid and never missed the Saturday afternoon Chiller Diller matinee or during the summer months, Dialing for Dollars...so I saw many an AIP and Allied Artists horror and sci-fi, Toho Kaiju films, Italian muscleman epics, Universal B westerns, lurid melodramas, etc.

I remember that my first two favorite actresses as a small kid were Yvonne DeCarlo and Lori Nelson.

Attack of the Puppet People and Earth Vs. The Spider have been my two top favorites since I was in the second grade.
