What? No page ten, yet?

I knew that a little push would get us to PAGE TEN!

My favorite thing about Frank Sinatra is that my DS discovered that he is the one who sings "Love and Marriage" on Married with Children. That led him to another kind of music besides the hard rock he had liked, for which I am very grateful.

MusicGuy, am I picking you up at 8 a.m. tomorrow?

MusicGuy · « **Reply #274 on:** July 09, 2007, 07:55:55 PM »

Good evening all and sun-dried,

Good evening dear Esteemed, leaderly (?), busy, and buffed BK --

Hi dear Laura....... I got tomorrow morning covered, so I wanted to let you know.

MusicGuy · « **Reply #275 on:** July 09, 2007, 07:57:13 PM »

I appreciated the offer very much, but the 8:00 time slot just wouldn't work very well for me this time.

But you are no less of a dear!! And I hope the little tiny church-mice all behave for you!

I have to go ahead and pack a small bag to carry on the plane with me, and I'm also taking my laptop. My hotel says that it has free wi-fi throughout the entire hotel. It is a relatively new property, so I hope it works fairly dependably.

I'll try to check in here a little during the trip. I just know that it is REALLY hot here in Phoenix; and I'm afraid it may be very hot AND very sticky in Indy. So........ to quote dear Jose.......

"WHEWWWWW......"

I have trouble discussing Frank Sinatra when we refer to him as FS. Where I work, FS means Food Stamps, even though they haven't actually gotten STAMPS in Washington for years.

However, I have always been a fan of Sinatra the singer, and sometimes Sinatra the actor. I have never been a fan os Sinatra the person, but then I never met him either.

Favorite films:

THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE
VON RYAN'S EXPRESS
THE DETECTIVE
A HOLE IN THE HEAD
ON THE TOWN
FROM HERE TO ETERNITY

It's hot. My living room thermostat reads 88 degrees. And it's after 11pm. That ain't right.

DR td, THE KISSING BANDIT is really terrible. But I don't blame you for wanting to see it. I waited for years until I finally caught a showing on TCM. Glad I've seen it, but it was truly a lemon.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #281 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:17:20 PM »

I am afraid that DR MusicGuy is mistaken. It was much cooler today, and, indeed, very pleasant for an evening walk. It is only 100F at 8:15 p.m.

Matt H. · « **Reply #282 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:18:44 PM »

I watched some interesting things on TV tonight.

I began with another MURDER SHE WROTE episode, this one dealing with the death of a man who was giving many Cabot Cove residents a hard time. Lorna Luft was a guest star.

Matt H. · « **Reply #283 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:21:00 PM »

Next I watched some of the special features on the LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES DVD. There were three interview featurettes with people either associated with the film, or in the case of one feature, two critics defending it as a Cocteau work as opposed to a Melville film. I have to agree. I haven't seen a huge number of Melville films, but none of them looked like this, had this kind of feel or mood.

MBarnum · « **Reply #284 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:22:02 PM »

TD, you mentioned the film Bunty Aur Babli the other day and I kept meaning to ask if you liked it or not? I also keep forgetting that you like Bollywood films, too. Sometimes I feel so all alone here.

And I am always up for recommendations!

Matt H. · « **Reply #285 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:27:14 PM »

Tonight on TCM was a new RIchard Schickel documentary called SPIELBERG ON SPIELBERG. Since Spielberg doesn't do commentaries on his film DVDs, it was nice to get some comments on his career going all the way back to the Joan Crawford episode on NIGHT GALLERY and carrying him up through MUNICH. (The only feature films that got NO mention at all were the two Indiana Jones sequels, THE LOST WORLD, ALWAYS, and CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, at least as well as I could remember without a filmography in front of me.)

Worth watching once if you're interested in his films at all.

Matt H. · « **Reply #286 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:28:20 PM »

Next came THE CLOSER, and it was indeed intense and beautifully acted. I'll enjoy watching this again in a few days.

Matt H. · « **Reply #287 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:29:34 PM »

I finished the evening going back to LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES and listening to more of the commentary and also looking at the trailer (which showed the ending!) and the stills gallery, many of the behind-the-scenes stills showing Cocteau on the set during shooting or during set-ups.

One night last week, my bedroom (which is at the top of a three-story townhouse) was 89.2 degrees! Fortunately, the temperature has gone down since then, but that one evening was the hottest...and not in the good way.

I'm going to do a little writing before heading down for bed.

Good night!

I realize that baseball is not a high priority here at HHW, but is anyone else watching the new mini-series THE BRONX IS BURNING? It is an interesting mix of NY Yankee history mixed with the Son of Sam killings and some politics and humor thrown in for good measure.

Very entertaining so far.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #292 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:45:37 PM »

No, I've not been watching a television program about baseball, but I do know that the baseball teams are doing the All-Star thing now and that my home team is doing well this year.

I read about that this morning but forgot about it tonight. It has our Vanzetti in it---John Turturro.

Thanks for the photos DR GEORGE...and the review.
Hmmm....for some reason the name Tim Goebel sounds very familiar to me....does he have any Indiana connections?

I don't know about any Indiana connections, but I could ask. But then, maybe you're thinking of the ice skater with the same name:

Here's another picture of the ice skater, Tim(othy) Goebel:

This is the Tim in our show. I hope he doesn't mine me posting this picture. I got it from his girlfriend's MySpace page...at least I think that this is his girlfriend.

Good Evening!

Well, it was great seeing DR vixmom and the ever-energetic vixter again earlier tonight at dinner and dessert. We had pizza at John's Pizza, and then we, minus DR Jason, headed over to Junior's for dessert.

Then after dessert, I attempted to get a ticket for tonight's performance of Les Miserables, but...

Do you have a single ticket for tonight?
Yes, we do. $61.25. (I had a discount voucher with me.)

Where is the seat?
$61.25.

What's the seat location?
It's in the Mezzanine, Center, six rows back. $61.25
-That's when I realized that she had been motioning the whole time to the slot in the window where I should have placed my credit card.

Do you have anything left in the Orchestra?
No, just the Mezzanine.

Oh, OK. I think I will pass tonight, Thank You.
A look of disgust as she passes my discount voucher back to me.

So, I did not go to see Les Miserables tonight, and, sadly, I probably would have had I not had such a rude experience with the woman at the box office. Ah, well.

*I just heard from the vixter, and I believe they had a wonderful time at the show.
