Edi, so far I have watched two of the video's.  The picture isn't sharp on either.  Brenda on Sweets is fun and I can see why they included it. :)

I'm going to watch a few more.

What is the other video you watched, Jane? If it was something I find out was done at full res, I may not bother upresing mine...

I'm using FireFox, the latest version.

It's not really fuzzy, and the clip from the show wasn't any better.  If I had found that site on my own I doubt I would have thought about it.  

As a fan I enjoyed the video & am glad it was used.  

Do you know anyone who can make you a copy?

It was a clip from an episode where she is arguing with Polk about cut backs.  She wants money for a blood test on a child and he is telling her she needs to let one of her detectives go.

I looked at the clips again, they both seem to be a bit inconsistent in their clarity.

I'll have my regular Closer promo producers pull it up at work on Monday and take a look. We've had to crank out so much stuff for the premiere that we're ready for the season to start and then life will be easier for all of us.

I have to say that this show gets better every season, and the 5 new episodes I've seen so far are great--a good mixture of tragedy and comedy. I can't wait to see the one with Brenda's dad!

Edi-I'm sorry you can't see for yourself.  I don't need to email you since you returned, and just in time too.  I was just about to say...

Oh yeah---we put that up last week. It's from the premiere episode.

It's just annoying that I get a message that these clips won't play but they don't give you any options!

I just played the Closer trivia game and I got 24 out of 26 right. I missed one that asked a question about another show that Tony Dennison was on that I'd never heard of. The other one was whether Brenda keeps her house neat or messy. I said neat, and they said I was wrong. Well, compared to mine, it IS neat!

Ooops...well, I guess I messed that one up for anyone who wanted to play!

Is browser a technical term?  I use AOL.

Did you watch the new Paul Potts video?

I began my evening of viewing with the last half of THE CLOSER, Season 2 finale. Loved it just as much as I did the first two times I watched it.

And speaking of Brenda and her sweets, every time in this set that she finally gives in to temptation and eats something sweet, her acting is SO superbly hilarious, it just tickles me greatly. That look of ecstacy, pure pleasure like an addict getting a fix is just hysterical to me.

I guess as a sweet food junkie myself, I can identify.

Next I watched the really outstanding Algerian film DAYS OF GLORY. Having to do with Algerians who fought to liberate France during World War II considering it their homeland (even though they were treated like second class citizens and denied rights given to other soldiers), this film justly deserved its Oscar nomination. Terrific set pieces in the film, and a climactic defense of an Alsace village by four Algerian soldiers is heart-stopping.

I really enjoyed this film; it's SO much more than a war movie.

I ended my evening watching the "making of" documentary which is on this disc. Not loaded with intricate information on the film's production, but interviews with the four main actors showed their obvious pride in their work on this project.

So, tomorrow I should be able to get to THE BONE COLLECTOR. I also want to finish the last two ANGEL episodes in the fourth season set. If there's time, I'd like to watch DRAGON SEED with Miss Hepburn (Katharine).

Is anyone who takes HBO watching the new series JOHN FROM CINCINATTI? I recorded the first episode after I read some decent reviews for the show, but I've since read some scathing reviews of it. Just wondered if anyone else had given it a try?

I wanted to get a facial today, but they spa was booked so I went and bought all the stuff to give myself one. Then I swam in the pool for awhile and still went to the party at Paradise Island for a couple hours. It was ok, but I'm glad I came back early.   The only food they had was cheese cubes, chips and dip and sweets.   I ordered a small pizza when I got back to the room

So, when does this trip to Paradise end, Cillaliz? Is this the last day?  By the way, I enjoyed your luncheon companions also.

I will be glad to see the girls.   This has been an interesting trip. I did learn some things, got the resources I need to do the research I need to do, and met a lot of people.  They aren't nearly as interesting as criminal defense lawyers, but you can't have it all.   The sparkling conversation at our IA-NE get together today was a contest on who has the most kids...sheesh - two people have 6 and one has 5. I didn't see any of them at the party tonight

"Tonight's performance of A Chorus Line is dedicated to Thommie Walsh."




Thommie created the role of Bobby.  He's been fighting a very brave fight against cancer the past couple of years.  Thankfully - but not unexpectedly - he was surrounded by family and loved ones, the past couple of days.  And he was able to spend his last days here on Earth at   his home in upstate New York.

I never met Thommie, but Baayork always talked about him fondly - that original cast of A Chorus Line became a true family.  And since I've been a part of that family for the past couple of years... -I have to say, I got a little weepy here and there during the show tonight.  (I guess it was good that I wasn't playing then.  ;))

I just wanted to "tip the hat" to another piece of Broadway history.  Rest In Peace, Thommie.  But something tells me, you'll be dancing and choreographing again in no time.  :)
