I have no idea where the NYC critics will land on this show.

Why did I just get a mental image of The Flying Wallendas?

What is this banner about TIN MEN: "Journey Beyond the Yellow Brick Road", airing on the Sci Fi network Dec. 2nd? Has anybody heard anything about this?

(Maybe you've already been talking about it but since I don't know very many TV shows, it might have gone over my head.)

I believe it is a fictionalized treatment of DR MBarnum's cherished [but unseemly] Halloween memory.

I thought that was "Wood Man."

Prize winners just announced via email - I'm not in the special prize categories, but have won a candy bar along with all the other honorable mentions (basically, anyone who bothered to show up in a "costume," no matter how lame).

So Ginny..I'm All Atwitter- What was the Winning Costume?

I just ghad a few words with a neighbor I've never met before. He was having his yard crew blow his leaves into my yard, and the rest into the storm drain.

I would rather have him blow them into my yard than the drain, because of all the flooding we have from that creek. Plus it's bad for whatever's living in the water, too.

I was extremely polite, but this guy was completely arrogant and patronizing. I told him that my yard flooded because of the creek and he laughed and said "When? Two years ago?"

Later, when I drove by his house, I rwas reminded that it was for sale. (It's been on the market for over a year.) I also know his tiny yard floods during rain events. So I guess his attitude is that since he's leaving, he's not going to worry about doing any harm to the neighborhood.

Well, I'm glad he's leaving, too!

Edisaurus · « **Reply #72 on:** October 31, 2007, 07:34:07 AM »

Oh, and his house is one of those McMansions where they tear down a small house and build a monstrosity. This house is 4 stories tall with barely a yard at all!

Good morning!

Looks like it's going to be a nice day. I had to turn the furnace on to take come of the chill out of the early morning air in the house, but today should be warm enough to do without gas heat.

Matt H. · « **Reply #81 on:** October 31, 2007, 07:53:46 AM »

Happy Halloween for those who participate. I try to ignore it if I can.

After cleaning the den this morning, I continued listening to the commentary track on THE SHINING. Good information (it's pieced together; the two men weren't in the room at the same time) and enjoyably (if a bit drily) explained.

I saw The Farnsworth Invention last night. For those of you who don't know, Philo T. Farnsworth is one of the inventors of television, according to history. The play is about the race to secure the patent for the device that eventually became television. David Sarnoff, the head of RCA and creator of NBC works with a Russian who came to the U.S. (Sarnoff left Russia as a child) in the race against Farnsworth. As portrayed in the show (IMHO) Sarnoff seems like a mean, cold, caculating son of a bitch but Hank Azaria was excellent in his portrayl. Jimmi Simpson as Farnsworth, the somewhat tortured genius is wonderful. The show is well written and well constructed by Aaron Sorkin. It is a bit wordy but works nonetheless. It's funny and suspensful, even though you know (at least I did) how the whole thing turns out. Lots of good, journeyman actors in the show including Michael Mulhern who was good, but wasted in Deuce, and Jim Ortlieb. If you like your dramas, this is a good one. I can see it as a movie or an HBO made for television film.

Philo was a Utah boy and there's a statue of him in the Utah State Capitol.

Today I'll be watching the DVD of Pixar shorts. There are 13 shorts on the disc (running a total of 54 minutes), but only two haven't been released before on DVD. I'll watch them all again, even LIFTED which I just watched two days ago.

Matt H. · « **Reply #85 on:** October 31, 2007, 07:57:14 AM »

I also have BOSTON LEGAL and SVU from last night to watch, too. And the gay fellows appear to be on today's AS THE WORLD TURNS as well.

Matt H. · « **Reply #86 on:** October 31, 2007, 07:58:06 AM »

Was just reminded that the marvelous films UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE, I'LL CRY TOMORROW, and SHOOT THE MOON come out on DVD next week.

Can't wait to see STAIRCASE again after many, many years of not seeing it.

I ate the monkey cake for breakfast; it was excellent. The chocolate cake will wait. thank you again, DR Jose. Isn't there some famous movie or story/novel (Capote?) with a bit about day-oldcake?

I think that was a proposal for the MGM production of "Marie Antoinette". The screenplay was written in a way that made both Louis and Marie seem rather harmless and fun, and the writers may have considered having Marie say, "Let them eat day-old cake" to make her seem more callous.
