Well, you've read the notes, the notes were rainy and wet, and now it is time for you to post until the wet cows come home, with a capital C and that rhymes with P and that stands for pool. Finally!

Of course, some might still think the site is down.

Lost hours? What about Lost Years?

The notes say: What are your favorite comic motion pictures of the last twenty years – from 1998 to now?

Did we lose the ten years after 2008 while the site was down?

BK: Be careful if you decide to go for a ride in the rain. Those rains are from the same storm that wreaked havoc up here...and there may be some downed palm trees and power lines to contend with.

"The Rains Came" is a rather wonderful old movie.

"The Rains of Ranchipur", the CinemaScope remake, is a rather campy old wonder with a stellar cast (Richard Burton, Lana Turner and Michael Rennie) and a SUPERB score by Hugo Friedhofer. The photography is glorious.

Fox really knew what to exploit with the CinemaScope process....many earlier Scope films were filled with glorious scenery. "Boy on a Dolphin" is a major delight in that regard.

TOD: I love the delightful "While You Were Sleeping". It's one of those movies that just "works". Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman have a wonderful chemistry and the entire cast is superb!

I also love:

"Groundhog Day"
"Four Weddings and a Funeral"
"The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"
"Strictly Ballroom"

HOSPITAL LAUNCHES INVESTIGATION AFTER MAN DISCHARGED IN STORM FOUND DEAD IN SNOWBANK

BANGOR, Maine — A Machias hospital has launched an internal investigation into the death of a 61-year-old Eastport man whose body was found partially buried under fresh snow the day after he was discharged at his own request.

Reid Emery left Down East Community Hospital on Tuesday evening against the wishes of doctors and nurses, officials said. His body was found Wednesday afternoon a few hundred feet from the hospital.
Emery had walked out into a snowstorm without a jacket and with only slippers on his feet, according to police.
…
Popp said she could not discuss details of Emery's care and would not comment on reports that he was delusional when he left the hospital and had been given medication. Patients are generally allowed to sign themselves out of the hospital if they are deemed competent, she said.

I wonder what mental giant deemed the guy without a jacket in his slippers about to go out in a snow storm "competant'?

Time for some shut-eye.

Ye old storm number 3 is due to start rollin' in at any time (we've had two, count 'em 2, storm systemss in the past 24 hours). Number 3 is supposed to be with us through Monday.

The I-80 is closed at higher elevations...in both directions. Nobody is going anywhere until the blizzard subsides.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #27 on:** January 05, 2008, 01:49:54 AM »

Yes, it's time for bed.

But we need only a few more posts to reach page 2.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #28 on:** January 05, 2008, 01:50:17 AM »
