The Jim Carrey movie is called THE MASK. The Cher movie is MASK.

TV Reminder:

JOHN ADAMS miniseries begins on HBO tonight with two episodes. I plan to watch both "live" on HBO-HD. I have read mixed reviews: some critics have loved it; others think too much has been sacrificed going from book to miniseries. Can't wait to make up my own mind.

Well, then, I guess I was correct the first time, even in my fog.

This afternoon will be given over mostly to THE GOOD SHEPHERD. As I mentioned before, I got the widescreen DVD for Christmas but hadn't gotten to it. The movie premiered on HBO-HD last night. So, if I like this VERY lengthy film, I may record the next HD broadcast to see if the film gains anything from an HD treatment. If so, it is available on HD-DVD.

I'll also be skimming through Thursday's AS THE WORLD TURNS which I'm assuming my DVR picked up in the wee small hours of this morning. (Friday's episode is being shown in the wee small hours of Monday morning.)

I need super strong coffee today.

I should get another one of those espressos with a coffee chaser. That had my jumpy all day.

Matt H. · « **Reply #37 on:** March 16, 2008, 07:37:48 AM »

This evening before JOHN ADAMS begins, I think I'll watch THE WILD on Blu-ray disc. I'll need something short since JOHN ADAMS comes on relatively early in the evening, and THE WILD should fit into the available time.

I'm up, I'm up, and must get ready to leave soon. The Mask musical is indeed based on the film with Cher. I thought it an odd idea, too. The score is by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, and that will either turn out to be very interesting or very not interesting, but I really like them as pop songwriters.

JMK · « **Reply #39 on:** March 16, 2008, 07:58:55 AM »

I am hoping that BK's news has something to do with a little OCR I like to call A Time for Singing. But that's just me.

JMK · « **Reply #40 on:** March 16, 2008, 07:59:34 AM »

Mann and Weil of course wrote Sergio Mendes' biggest hit, Never Gonna Let You Go.

Today is Palm Sunday which means I must leave to direct lots o' musicians in lots o' music. But not as much/many as next week.

We've already ascertained that the 101 North and South is jammed because of an accident.

I would have thought that FOOL ON THE HILL, would have been his biggest hit.

Looking forward to hearing bk's good news/announcement, once it becomes official.

TCB · « **Reply #46 on:** March 16, 2008, 08:15:32 AM »

I am leaving in a few minutes to go to Brunch. I would rather be going to BK's rehearsal, but that's life for you.

We are talking about the Cher movie, not the Jim Carey semi-animated film.

Brandon deWilde was my first celebrity crush (we are the same age). I loved his tv series JAMIE. Of course at that age in the 50s I just thought I wanted to be his friend.

When I come home in the evewning, this is usually the site at my cat condo. I always feel like I've caught them in bed together. The large black cat, Bailey, is cold-natured and doesn't have a warm coat so he crawls into bed with this little girl and squashes her for a little extra body hear until we are home and have a lap ready for him. (He's in my lap right now!)

William E. Lurie · « **Reply #50 on:** March 16, 2008, 08:19:26 AM »

One more picture of the day: our "placeholder goats" in our barn (until we manage to have real goats!)

Love the cat condo picture Edisaurus. As soon as I either make my roommate download the photos I took, or I learn how to do it myself, I shall be posting pictures of our cats on their new piece of furniture.

Pierre is no longer upset by our visiting kittens. I woke up this morning sandwiched by all four cats curled up together by my head. I'm so happy they are getting along, but it's perhaps not the best thing for my allergies. My friend is returning from vacation tonight and I can either drop them off at her place this afternoon, or keep them an extra day until she can come over after work tomorrow to pick them up. I think I'm going to keep them since it's so fun to see them all getting along. Now that Pierre has adjusted to them, it's fun for him to have younger, more active cats to play with.

Last night I went with some friends to see August: Osage County. I didn't know much about it other than that everyone who had seen it told me I had to go see it. I don't know if it's been discussed here but I found it to be an excellent play with a very strong ensemble cast. If you have the opportunity to see it, go see it.

Agreed. My favorites of theirs were "Make Your Own Kind of Music" (Mama Cass) and "I Just Can't Help Believin'" (BJ Thomas). They have many songs that are more well known / better respected (i.e., "On Broadway"), but for some reason, those are the ones that always resonated with me.

Nope, both Look of Love and Never Gonna were bigger--FOTH peaked at 6, the others at 4, but NGLYG lasted longer on the charts. Not that I'm a factoid geek or anything.

Guess I'll head down now and get some things ready for my day of chores: laundry, bathroom cleaning, etc.

Also have to decide what I want to watch while cooking and eating lunch.
