I'm still reeling from Friday, but I hope to sleep well and put it all out of my mind.

And the word of the day is: MACRAME!

My mom used to do macrame, a long time ago. I made a couple of things when I was a kid...bracelets, I think, but I don't have them anymore.

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.

Mozart's Balls.

Just thought I would continue a conversation that was around here yesterday.

VIBES of ALL KINDS to Mr BK!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #40 on:** January 20, 2007, 04:51:32 AM »

I liked macrame and cheese.

C note:

That is why, even though it is time-consuming and a pain, I plan my own photo poses for a shoot when I am directing. We nearly lost an ANNIE once when some idiot decided he wanted to see her thrown around by the servants who were just NOT paying attention, being busy with their costumes and all.... OOPS!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #42 on:** January 20, 2007, 04:53:51 AM »

Thanks for the concert info DRS RODZINSKI and JOSE.

What was the FUNNIEST thing each of the ladies said? The thing she said that made you laugh the most?

Good Morning!

I'm up! I'm up!

-And the kitchen sink is full of dishes, and the floor is sticky... $:-\$

-But, hey, at least the bathroom was clean.

*My roommate had a party last night... thus, the floor being sticky and the sink being full of dishes.

And the word of the day is: MACRAME!

Heather MacRame was known for her outlandish dresses, hand-woven and quite colorful, but scorned by her fellow members of the PTA because they were made of hemp. Heather thought her dresses were "smokin'!", and that the PTA bitches were clueless.

There were a pair of French films that I caught in the late '70s, comedies that I enjoyed a great deal. The first was Un éléphant ça trompe énormément, and it's sequel was Nous irons tous au paradis. Very funny stuff. They were released here in the US as Pardon Mon Affaire and Pardon Mon Affaire, Too, with the first film remade in English as Lady in Red (stealing bits from the second film, as well).

Michael · « **Reply #53 on:** January 20, 2007, 05:55:03 AM »

From France:
Les Uns et Les Autre (Not the edited version they showed in the USA called Bolero. A stupid name if there ever was)
Les Adventures De Rabbi Jacob ( I believe the only film of Louis de Funès who was a wonderful French comic to get a wide North American Release)
Jacques Tati's Playtime
Belle De Jour
Indochine
Misérables, Les (Claude Leloche version)
Un homme et une femme
Le Roi de Coeur

From Quebec:
Jesus de Montreal
Le Déclin de l'empire Américain
Kamouraska
Mon oncle Antoine
Les Invasions Barbares
and
Fantastica (only because I work on it. The scene I did was filmed in a gay porno theater, but was turned into a concert hall for the movie)

so many so many more both from France and Quebec

This concert hall... it had a very large woodwind section, I assume?

Quote from: Rodzinski on January 20, 2007, 12:37:13 AM

There's one that I always forget the name of, but someone here can help I'm sure. UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG always reminds me of it because it ends with a bunch of homeless people flying off into the sky on umbrellas and broomsticks singing all the while.

Black and white French film. The plot involves homeless and poor people who set up a kind of utopian society on this little section of land, and the city drives them out. Until they fly away singing a song about socialism.

DR Rodzinski, it's MIRACLE IN MILAN, and it's not a French film.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #56 on:** January 20, 2007, 06:20:54 AM »

God morning, all! Another report day, perhaps the NYPL, and maybe some laundry. It's all too thrilling.

TOD: Diabolique
King of Hearts
Queen Margot
Amelie
Children of Paradise
Beauty and the Beast
Carnival in Flanders
Cyrano de Bergerac (Depardieu)

I think it IS Miracle in Milan, which does end with the townspeople flying off on broomsticks.

It's so sad to be beaten to the punch five hours before you awake! Yalk about early birds and worms . . .

Good morning!

Another beautiful day (albeit chilly). Hard to believe we're in for that infamous "wintry mix" tonight and tomorrow because right now, there isn't a cloud in the sky.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #59 on:** January 20, 2007, 07:23:09 AM »

*sigh*

Time to get ready for work.

Bright and clear, but windy, today.
