I was afraid that they had merely used the same old nonanamorphic transfer for THE TRAIN, a cardinal sin since the movie is excellent and deserves better treatment.

And add THE TRAIN in my above Burt Lancaster list. ELMER GANTRY should probably be there, too, along with BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ.

Today while I cook and eat lunch, I'll probably revisit the second season of THE CLOSER on the new upconverting HD-DVD player. I'd revisit season one, but they foolishly didn't enhance those transfers for widescreen TVs.

I also have on my DVR the movie SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON, a film I've never seen and which won Kim Stanley the NY Film Critics Award for Best Actress in 1964. (She lost the Oscar to Julie Andrews.) I'll probably get around to it tomorrow.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I wish I had gotten up earlier - and that I had remembered to turn the ringer back on on my cell phone - so that I could be playing/working today, filling in for a friend with the flu, etc., etc... However, since I'm up now, I think I'm gonna head down anyway just to say HI and hang out a bit.

-And it appears that whatever the oil/boiler guy did last night to the boiler also seems to have regulated the temperature a bit better. It was warm and toasty last night here, but NOT a sauna!

-Of course, that will probably change once he comes back today to do the final futzing... (I hope not.)

As for barbershops... Well... As the amount of hair product that people would put in their hair started to dwindle a few years ago - going for a more natural look - I'm guessing that helped the surge and hipness of barber shops. I found a few of them while I was out there during What If. And, yes, they were very popular - some even took appointments. In any case... that's my theory for now.

There are several Burt Lancaster movies that I think are terrific, starting with THE KILLERS, one of the best gangster movies ever made.

I also like APACHE, THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLE, THE UNFORGIVEN. SEVEN DAYS IN MAY and THE TRAIN, which is one of my favorites.

Can't believe I forgot it. Superb!

Yes, I enjoyed DR Cilla's photo ops last night and like the one she chose for herself. Be sure to incorporate the correctly cropped copy DR Jose did for you.

And the word of the day is: AMANUENSIS!

Omigod!
I read a book this week (Robert Goddard's SIGHT UNSEEN) which featured an amanuensis! See, the hero was trying to figure out who the amanuensis was for "the Junius Letters," while trying to solve a murder mystery which was connected to said letters.

From Publishers Weekly:

Quote

This compelling stand-alone thriller from British author Goddard (Play to the End) opens in 1981 with the kidnapping of two-year-old Tamsin Hall and the hit-and-run death of Tamsin's seven-year-old sister, Miranda, in the ancient town of Avebury, at the foot of two massive, mysterious monoliths, part of a Neolithic stone circle. Fast forward to the present, where historian David Umber, who witnessed the double crime and later married the children's nanny, hears from now retired Chief Inspector Sharp of the Wiltshire constabulary, who has received an anonymous letter with clues to what happened that center on the identity of an 18th-century political gadfly known by the pseudonym Junius, the subject of Umber's Ph.D. research. Umber's realization that his wife's suicide years before may actually have been murder spurs him to join Sharp in pursuing this new evidence. The solution to both the identity of Junius and the perpetrator of the crimes against the children is satisfying, intelligent and refreshingly straightforward.

TOD:

I don't really hav any favorite Burt Lancaster films. I have seen some of his movies, but nothing I could think of as a favorite...however, once I have a chance to sit down and see THE YOUNG SAVAGES or CRISS CROSS, that may chance.

Hmmm...well, maybe SORRY WRONG NUMBER could be my favorite of his films.

I believe FLOYD'S BARBERSHOP is a reference to the one on the Andy Griffith Show. That's what I thought of right away

Too bad Ron Howard doesn't need haircuts any more.

(It's his birthday today, btw. Whoopie.)

Der Brucer and I always go to a barber shop. Mens hair salons are just too foo-foo, and the people who work at them are not our kind of people.

The local yellow pages lists seven barber shops here in Rehoboth Beach. We live in a hippest of the hip little town here in lower slower Delaware. I'm glad to know that the berg of Los Angeles is finally catching up!

The reviews for the Met's PETER GRIMES continue to knock Mr Doyle:

"On the evidence of these three Gotham productions, as well as last season's "Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny" at L.A. Opera, it's clear Doyle isn't big on blocking, stage business (once he rids his actors of playing, say, the tuba), gesture or the establishment of time and place. In other words, he's really not much of a storyteller."

I'm sure you won't read this before class Antonia, but, yes, Anthony will be in class this afternoon. He is doing his early afternoon ablutions as I type to get ready for said class.

I was gone when you asked your question but apparently my name was still in the upper regions of the board indicating that I was around. We were eating our oatmeal (today there were two bowls to wash) when you asked your question.
