CHUCK had a wonderfully exciting episode tonight. This may have been its best-yet episode.

Page Eleven Dance, but since we haven't been given the all-clear, I'm assuming the upload folder is still full so no Harry Potter picture.

I loved HEROES tonight. I especially loved the Clair sequences.

Obviously I missed Matt Parkman a lot and also Nathan.

As for Niki's return, I don't things are looking good for Dr. Suresh.

I also wanted to get longer glimpses at the paintings that Noah found.

JOURNEYMAN had a moving episode tonight too about brotherly love and caring. I loved it.

Overall, a great night on NBC for me.

Tomorrow, I'll be catching up with tonight's CSI: MIAMI and also getting a look at the Blu-ray of THE SHINING which I'm really looking forward to. I haven't watched the film at all in years, and I've never seen it at its theatrical aspect ratio since I saw it at the movies in 1980.

Let me see if this will work... I was checking out my brother's MySpace page and came across this shot of him with the nieces and nephew:

Going Clockwise: My youngest brother, Jay; John Michael, Emily, Alyssa and Alexandra.

My favorite Halloween was in 1992, because Greg came home with me after a party we both happened to attend and never left.

(Lest it sound unseemly, we had known each other for years and knew that one day we would end up together...just not when it miught happen.)

Another young man came home with me and moved in that night, too, but he stayed in the guest room!

Awww...what an adorable picture, Jose!!

I have some writing to finish up and then it's off to bed.

Good night!

DR Cillaliz, who did you like tonight on DANCING WITH THE STARS?

SPOILERS

I loved the group number.

My favorites are still helio and julianne. Although i thought it was slightly ridiculous that all the judges proclaimed him "back". I thought he was just as good last week.

I thought mel and max were good. But i'm really disappointed in her after samantha said they only rehearsed 6 hours this week. They did well. And they lucked out. BUt to me, that is not enough effort. It just gave me a really bad feeling about her (although i did think they danced well).

I also thought jane seymour danced pretty well (for what she can do). And again i found it slightly ridiculous that the judges got mad at her. They love her slow graceful dances and they have been giving her way too high marks for those. Yes they do suit her better. But i thought she put a lot more work and steps into the jive tonight.

I also thought jennie did well. Should be interesting to see who goes. I was disappointed in sabrina this week. Although she had a really busy schedule. And at least she tried to fit in as much training as she could.

I would put marie and jane in the B2. But i wonder how many fans sabrina had. Cause she could be in trouble if she doesn't have many.

SPOILERS

I agree on the bottom 2. I loved Mel and Max - I thought it was amazing they could do that in 6 hours. It isn't that she doesn't want to work more, it's schedules, I think Jennie has improved the most and I liked Sabrina. I do like Helio and Julianne, but I'm not sure they are still my favorites. I think this is going to be really close in the end

OK - I'm starting to fade, so...

Goodnight.

I can't think of my favorite Halloween. I remember wearing my parka in the snow once with a costume over it....we used to trick and treat for hours and go miles and miles.

As an adult, I've had a few fun Halloweens, but also a number not so fun, so unless it's a party I really want to go to, I skip it.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #313 on:** October 29, 2007, 08:44:12 PM »

I need to review a file before I go to bed and have to have Cal at the vet at 8:15 AM ....meanwhile, Boo is attacking things...just like Little Sparta

What a night! I've had to have many terse and loud conversations with many people who, I'm thinking, are determined to give me a HEART ATTACK!

FJL · « **Reply #315 on:** October 29, 2007, 09:23:32 PM »

We were expecting an important phone call this afternoon, but the call never came.

That was possibly the most exciting aspect of the day. Except for the leftovers from Skip's cooking class, of course.

FJL · « **Reply #316 on:** October 29, 2007, 09:25:26 PM »

I see I'm within a stone's throw of 9000 posts.

FJL · « **Reply #317 on:** October 29, 2007, 09:26:26 PM »

But I guess 9000 is a goal for another day.

There may not be much meat on her bones, but what's there is terse - what's that from?

I watched Kubrick's THE SHINING on dvd tonight.
I'm still kinda speechless, but, I'll give it a go.
I completely darkened my room, turned the ringer off on the phone and settled onto my couch. I didn't budge for the following 143 minutes, except to cower and wince.
I have a history with Kubrick's THE SHINING. I saw it on its opening night here in Pittsburgh with a close friend, at the Fulton (now Byham) Theater. I drifted in and out of the film, nearly falling asleep several times. I was bored and unimpressed, as was my friend. I had read Stephen King's book and enjoyed it very much, still I knew that that particular novel could work as a film - hadn't Wise's THE HAUNTING shown one woman's descent into madness via a haunted house? - so I did have high expectations for Kubrick's film and was supremely let down by his achievement.
I tried to see THE SHINING again at several repertory house screenings over the years, but it still left me cold and detached and unimpressed.
I let those sentiments stick around for a long, long time. I never owned a copy of Kubrick's THE SHINING on any video format (nor do I own a copy of King's book), never watched a television showing of THE SHINING (including King's own adaptation for ABC and really had no desire to revisit Kubrick's vision of The Overlook UNTIL this past week's new video transfers of major Kubrick works. I even debated which one to purchase first, holding CLOCKWORK ORANGE, EYES WIDE SHUT and 2001 in my hands along with THE SHINING. I opted for the latter, if only because of Vivien Kubrick's "Making of THE SHINING" amongst the special features - and THAT was a fascinating feature I viewed Sunday night.
I can't remember the last time that I've had such a turnaround of feeling on a film. I was enthralled from start to finish tonight, impressed (not bored out of my head) by the amazing Steadicam work and blown away by the dvd's transfer. My opinion hasn't changed on the work done by Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd or Scatman Crothers - I appreciated their performances before - but my opinion on Jack Nicholson's performance has changed, I saw his modulation, in his characterization, I saw a selfish man, who put himself first in all things and who got what was coming to him. The final half-hour brings the supernatural elements to all of the characters, and that final shot is a doozy.
If it weren't such an ungodly length, I'd probably have spun that dvd again right now. . .
