DR JANE - I just look at him like he's crazy and he thinks I'm acting.

If I knew exactly what he was going to say, I would do the same thing to him, but he never says his lines correctly.

Thanks Jane. I've just been so cooped up lately. First it was the heat then it was the rain. We're supposed to have a nice weekend and I'm hoping to get out and go for a walk and get some exercise

BK, did you check for any phone messages?

Jane · « **Reply #305 on:** August 23, 2007, 08:10:08 PM »

Cilla, have a nice, healthy weekend.

TCB-Sure hope you are off having fun!

Back from a lovelier than lovely supper with Cason and BJ. Spied at a nearby table - Marge Champion, later joined by Judy and Gordon Davidson.

We've had 8.65 inches of rain so far in August. 5.55 inches of it have been this week. Other places have gotten much more...of course there is rain in the forecast for late tonight and tomorrow

I am very sleepy....at about 4:30 this morning the NOAA weather radio went off with flash flood warnings...good grief. I was sound asleep, I did not care about flash floods

So, I'm off to bed. Night

Question for Matt H:

We own no DVDs of Rathbone as Sherlock.

You have been commenting on same.

Is it the 2006 4 disk Box set of 14 films and do you recommend it?

der Brucer

That is the most recent release. I bought them when they were issued in four waves: three boxes of four films each and then the two Fox features made in 1939 as separate issues.

This 2006 box puts them all in one place with a few extra commentaries that weren't part of the ones I bought. I believe the transfers are all the same as the ones I have: they are superb considering the abysmal condition the films were in when UCLA got them. Several look like brand new films, and since I love these more than any other series films ever made, I couldn't have expected them to ever look as good as these look. I feel so lucky to have them.

High recommended!

Jeanne, I like your father.

Thank you, Jane. I rather liked him, too.

I began my evening by finishing the three remaining episodes of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES which were in the box. I enjoyed seeing them all again, and the weddings which ended the season were very different and very surprising. And some neat cliffhangers, so we'll see what September brings us when the show returns.

Jeanne · « **Reply #315 on:** August 23, 2007, 08:32:26 PM »

CONGRATS to EDI on such great S&V reviews! I have no doubt you deserve every bit of it!

Matt H. · « **Reply #316 on:** August 23, 2007, 08:33:09 PM »

I then watched all the bonus features on the last disc in the set. None were especially illuminating and that includes the deleted scenes and the bloopers.

One bonus section was here producer Marc Cherry picked his six favorite scenes from the season. He and I certainly agreed on one thing: the best episode of the season - "Bang" about the kilings/hostage situation at the grocery store.

Next, I put in the first disc of HEROES and watched the first episode and half of the second one. I REALLY enjoyed the opening episode since now all the names and faces are so familiar and things tie together so much more than they did when I watched the episodes for the first (and only) time.

Matt H. · « **Reply #318 on:** August 23, 2007, 08:36:46 PM »

It looks like there will be deleted scenes with every episode. After I watched the first episode, I watched the deleted scenes that went with the episode. I can see why they were deleted. Too many new characters introduced that would have made the first show just too crammed with people and events.

There is also on the first disc the unaired original pilot of the show which I'l also look forward to watching. I will probably wait until I've watched the entire series again before I go back and watch it.

I'm going to head down for bed in a few minutes after I tend to a little writing.

Good night!

Good Evening!

It's been a good day. A very good day.

Glad to hear that the first day of Brain rehearsals went well. Hmm... I'm off tomorrow, maybe I could stop by for the read-thru, sing-thru.

DR JRand - Glad to know your "present" arrived safe and sound. And, of course, as soon as I sealed the envelope, I realized I had not put my note in there with the Playbills, so... In any case...

I thought it was appropriate to have one of Michael Bennett's original assistants - and one of the original dance captains - of ACL sign the Playbill along with the current resident dance captain.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #323 on:** August 23, 2007, 09:37:34 PM »

DR Cillaliz - It sounds like you just had a "good sweat" and a cool-down. Sometimes the body will do that if you've been "exerting". Just means your system wanted to keep "glowing" to "refresh" itself.
