TOD

Surprisingly I have only seen two Premminger films.
Laura (Top Notch)
Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon (Bottom Notch)

and I think I watch some of Rosebud when I saw it on tv at 2am but turned it off in favor of a Victoria Principal info commercial.

DR JoseSPiano - someone over at ATC was musing about auditions, and whether strategically it's better to audition at the beginning of the day or toward the end of the day to be better "remembered" by the other side of the table.  I was curious; in  your experience do you think it makes any difference?

My favorite Preminger film is SKIDOO - one of those "so bad it's good" films with an all-star cast at their worst.  It's on Turner Classic Friday night/Saturday morning this week and is well worth setting your VCR/TIVO/DVR for.

Thursday morning greetings!  Brrrr, it's very cold here in SW Ohio today, but the drive was much smoother than yesterday's.

Good morning, all! I have various and sundried things to do today, beginning with Toyland work and finishing with the IRS.

Last night was filled with weird dreams, the first of which I no longer remember, but I recall that it was creepy and unsettling. The second one was about Miami University Summer Theatre, some show closing, my car being stuck in Trenton OH, and taking a bus ride from  Oxford to Trenton with DR Jose to pick it up.  Actually, we were taking the bus to my hometown when I realized we could get off the bus in Trenton and pick up the car.  I remember something about another driver giving me hell for driving with my bright lights on and DR Jose making out with a passenger on the bus!

On a happier note, my publisher emailed me this morning to tell me I was their best selling writer for 2007!

Good morning!

Very cold here and not warming out of the 30s. By Sunday, we'll be back in the 60s. Typical Southern winter.

Favorite Preminger by far is LAURA but I also love ANATOMY OF A MURDER and ADVISE AND CONSENT.

I haven't seen SKIDOO or ROSEBUD, but I thought THE MOON IS BLUE was a waste of time.

I saw PORGY AND BESS on TV back in the 1960s (ABC Sunday Night Movie, wasn't it?), but that's it, so my memories are vague. I do remember liking it, but one can't judge from a pan and scan TV broadcast.

CARMEN JONES is well worth seeking out, DR Elmore. It's on DVD.

No new shows on TV tonight that I care anything about, but I will be watching the SUPERNATURAL rerun since I missed the episode when originally broadcast.

I'm expecting review copies of THE ROCK and CON-AIR on Blu-ray, but if they don't arrive (and it's likely they won't be here until Monday; they arrive in stores on Tuesday), I'll be watching the next DVD in the review queue, a Lee Harvey Oswald documentary from PBS. Should be interesting.

I awoke from one of those "wow, glad that was a dream" dreams.  In the dream, we were driving to the coast and had to stop at a store, which was a Safeway, even though we never shop there.  The parking lot was full, but I noticed someone just starting to pull out, so I waited patiently, only to see some old biddy driving one of those mini-buses from a retirement home zoom in from the other end turn sharply and take the open spot.  So I pulled up next to her and started telling her we had been waiting for 10 minutes for that spot.  And she said "Tough luck."  So I reached through my open window, slapped her, and called her a very bad word which begins with the third letter of the alphabet.  Cut to our coast hotel, where the local news is running a nonstop story about the poor old lady who was slapped by a stranger in the Safeway parking lot and the police are on the lookout for him.  Oy.   ;D
