Well, you've read the notes, the notes were hard-boiled and gaily-colored, and now it is time for you to post until the hard-boiled cows come home.

And I am the first poster???

Odd very odd.

Going to the car show today.

Also watched Fellini's Intervista last night. Not as good as I remember it.

Also Fellini's 8 1/2. Interesting to compare it to 9

The candidate in Michigan wasn't feeling the least bit COMPUNCTIOUS when she won by a MISCOUNT COUP.

I don't know that I've ever seen a Fellini film.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #6 on:** March 23, 2008, 04:08:25 AM »

Nope. Just checked on IMDB, and I have never seen any of Fellini's films.

Makes it hard to choose a favorite.

On the other hand, I notice that Nine is in pre-production, with Rob Marshall directing and Javier Bardem playing Guido.

I sure hope Marshall lets Bardem wear a better haircut than the Coen brothers did.

I've got work to get to.

And a venison roast to tackle after that, which means planning all the go-withs and whatnot while I'm at the store.

I'll try to catch up on yesterday and earlier later.

Easter morning greetings! Today is a family day - church in Cincinnati with Richard and Rob and Mary Linda, pick up my mom on the way home, and dinner together later this afternoon. We'll be joined for dinner by Richard's younger brother and his wife - we haven't seen them since Thanksgiving.

Last night we watched No Country for Old Men, which I found very grim, so then we watched Easter Parade to cheer me up. Between movies, I made deviled eggs (we skipped the coloring this year) and set the Easter table.

Good morning, all! I will setting out for Toyland shortly, and I plan to spend a lot of the day there working on various and sundry projects.

Last night I finished watching Middleton's THE CHANGELING, which petered out: the lunatic subplot was never integrated into the main story, which continued to be a doozy: Beatrice-Joanna, about to marry the man she loves, finds she's pregnant by the killer she hired and her sexual blackmailer. So, she bribes her virginal maid to sneak into the bridal chamber and have sex with her new husband. Then she and the killer start a fire in the maid's room and in the evacuation kill the maid so no one will ever know of the plot. The groom's servant has been flirting with the maid and he's aware of the affair between Beatrice-Joanna and the killer, so he tells the groom. The killers both end up dead. No one lives happily ever after.

Then I watched the bonus features on the new ENCHANTED disc, and this led to my watching the entire movie again. DR FJL, there are two cut scenes that provide more info on the attitude of the Idina Menzel character before the elopement, both of which should maybe have been retained for those of you discontented with that plot development. I still think Amy Adams deserved an Oscar nomination, but I guess the committee thinks being funny is easy and only scenery chewers deserve a nomination these days.

I, for one, liked GONE BABY GONE; I'm not sure I'd want to see it again, but it interested me enough to pick up a couple of the Dennis Lehane mysteries besides MYSTIC RIVER.

Sunday.....

Hmmmm.....more interesting posts last night. Looking forward to the photos from DR JOSE's adventure last night.

HHW - the Eclectic bunch. DR MICHAEL S is going to the car show today and DR GEORGE is going to see Mamma Mia!

I still love THE ROOKIES and may have to buy the box set described by Mr BK.

Vibes of all kinds for the coming week for MR BK.

I am going to watch THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG on Hallmark Channel in less than one hour to see MR BK's stint as "Bank Teller."

It's been my experience that when a song title starts with "Who's" the answer is going to be "Youse."

Happy Easter to one and all and also all and one.

I have the weekend from nonstop hell, with a late gig Friday, voice students yesterday day, another gig last night, and now am up at the veritable crack to go play two very large and music-filled services, where I will be directing various choirs, bell choirs, brass ensembles and the like.

I plan on coming home to a nice, comfy nervous breakdown circa 1 p.m.

Matt H. · « **Reply #18 on:** March 23, 2008, 07:26:09 AM »

Good morning and a Happy Easter to all who participate!

It's going to be a beautiful Easter here with lots of sunshine but moderately chilly temperatures (highs in the 50s). I have lots to do inside today, so I won't be in the chill.

Matt H. · « **Reply #19 on:** March 23, 2008, 07:28:58 AM »

I, too, enjoyed GONE BABY GONE. Great? No. (The mystery element was easily solved long before the revelation.) But it held my attention, and I got quite involved with the conundrum at the end. I had NO trouble understanding Casey Affleck and found the direction effective. So, different strokes.

As for Amy Ryan's Oscar nomination, it's a showy character and that kind of performance often gets attention, but I'd have nominated Amy Madigan instead. Her character had more of an emotional connection with me and showed more depth, I thought.

TV Reminder:

JOHN ADAMS (Episode 3) tonight. Looking forward to it. Glad HBO is only going to run these once a week, however. Two in a row was a little much last Sunday.

Matt H. · « **Reply #22 on:** March 23, 2008, 07:33:04 AM »

I'll be spending most of today with the review copy of THERE WILL BE BLOOD. It's a two-disc set, so I'll watch the movie this afternoon and save the bonus features for this evening.

Matt H. · « **Reply #23 on:** March 23, 2008, 07:34:07 AM »

I will probably watch another NUMB3RS episode today while I cook and eat lunch. Then it'll be on to Daniel Day-Lewis' Oscar-winning performance.

Less than four months from movie-theatre opening to DVD release for ENCHANTED? - is this now the norm for release of movies to video?

Thanks so much for the info about the Idina Menzel character, Larry.

Skip had a lovely lovely time working with Ed Harris and Amy Madigan [mentioned in BK's notes] in winter 2005 (when they performed a one-act musical Skip wrote with Eduardo Machado). They are the nicest people; i got to meet them at the after-party, and they even stepped out of the party for a while to meet Toby and Dylan.

Yep. If you'll notice all of the holiday films from 2007 (I AM LEGEND, ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS, SWEENEY TODD, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, THERE WILL BE BLOOD) are getting released now or in the next couple of weeks.

Matt H. · « **Reply #27 on:** March 23, 2008, 08:15:52 AM »

I guess those fans of the show JERICHO already saw the announcement, but if not, CBS has canceled the show. The episode on Tuesday night will be the series finale, not just the season finale.

However, the producers are checking in to see if some other cable channel (Sci-Fi, for example) might want to pick it up for an additional season of episodes.

Jennifer · « **Reply #28 on:** March 23, 2008, 08:20:25 AM »

Happy Easter everyone!

Speaking of series/season finales. The season finale of LIPSTICK JUNGLE was a terrible ending.

On tv for me tonight: BIG BROTHER, DEXTER, SMALLVILLE (on today in canada), and the OPRAH show.

RE: my frozen turkey.

Yep it's frozen. It's one of the ones you cook from frozen. According to the time on the turkey it should take about 6 hours to cook.
