Good morning!

A little cooler this morning and supposedly not as humid today. I won't know because I'll be inside all day.

Last night on TCM I watched THE OSCAR written by friend of DR CP, Mr Harlan Ellison. It is a movie that is not only OVER THE TOP - it is a movie that raise the BAR and then jumps over it.....

DR MBARNUM you will like THE BUBBLE, I think. I ordered the DVD, and I wish the soundtrack was available.

Did anyone do M'el Dowd yesterday? I thought of her right before I went to bed last night.

Matt H. · « **Reply #35 on:** June 17, 2008, 07:21:11 AM »

I'll have last night's THE MOLE to watch at some point today or tonight.

I'll be working on THE FURIES today. Lots of bonuses, so not sure how much of the set I'll get done.

Matt H. · « **Reply #36 on:** June 17, 2008, 07:22:37 AM »

Depending on time and work finished, I may be able to get to a Blu-ray today. If MAD MEN on Blu-ray comes in the mail, I may start with it. If it doesn't arrive until tomorrow, I'll find something else HD to watch, either on Blu-ray or HD-DVD.

I think for me, the problem with THE INVADERS is that as the series progresses, there are just too many aliens in too many prominent positions for David Vincent to possibly have a chance of combating them all. The creator of the series also felt this way (mentioned in the set's sole commentary track), but I felt that way before I heard him say so.

Matt H. · « **Reply #38 on:** June 17, 2008, 07:26:31 AM »

THE OSCAR. Yes, it's hammy and way beyond the fringe. But damn if despite his horrible, obnoxious treatment of everyone, I wasn't pulling for Frank Fain as that envelope was opened. I even felt guilty feeling so bad for him because he would have been even more impossible if he had won.

Oops. Spoiler. Sorry.

TOD:

B&W: THE THIRD MAN

Color: THE PIRATE

td · « **Reply #40 on:** June 17, 2008, 07:30:41 AM »

TOD:
B & W: Woody Allen's MANHATTAN
COLOR: Vincente Minnelli's YOLANDA AND THE THIEF

Now, should you want to get into the area of aspect ratios - 'scope, etc. . .

COLOR: Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA has some of the finest scope cinematography.
B & W: Alfred Hitchcock's REBECCA for pre-1950's.

Jose - Do you want to pick up your THE VISIT ticket for Friday night before you go away in case of any logistics problem? (Or just meet you there on Friday night?)

Jennifer · « **Reply #42 on:** June 17, 2008, 07:53:01 AM »

Tonight on tv for :

Canadian Idol (they pick the top 22)

Hell's Kitchen

And In Plain Sight (starts here tonight).

BK (from the notes) I didn't find the message you left harsh at all.

The whole thing should have taken only one or two calls. The fact that she lied repeatedly and dragged this out wasted your time. I think you should have reported her anyways.

MBarnum · « **Reply #44 on:** June 17, 2008, 08:01:08 AM »

How did we get all the way through yesterday without mentioning Mark Damon!

AS for the TOD: I am stumped...can't think of a thing...was the cinematrography in Steve Reeves' HERCULES good? I recall there being something very enticing about it.

singdaw · « **Reply #45 on:** June 17, 2008, 08:12:33 AM »

That's some cinematography, all right!

JMK · « **Reply #46 on:** June 17, 2008, 08:18:34 AM »

And yet THE OSCAR has that glorious Percy Faith score.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #47 on:** June 17, 2008, 08:26:22 AM »

True, DR JMK, and all of those leftover HARLOW and THE CARPETBAGGERS sets and costumes.

Yes, I wore out that soundtrack LP.

Heading down now to check the mail (STILL haven't received my first Deep Discount order though it shipped last week. Must be coming by mule train.) Then, I'll think about what's for lunch.

WBBL.

My DD order is on the same mule, DR MATTH.

Color - Black Narcissus

Black and white - Blonde Venus

bk · « **Reply #52 on:** June 17, 2008, 08:55:06 AM »

Black Narcissus is a stunning color film, but subtle. For eye-popping Technicolor color, Singin' In The Rain, which, in its IB Tech prints resembles not one whit the brown thing that is the DVD.

bk · « **Reply #53 on:** June 17, 2008, 08:56:42 AM »

The original color prints of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg were spectacular.

And the original IB Tech prints of The Searchers would be right up there with the greats - and again they resemble the current DVD not one or even two whits.

bk · « **Reply #54 on:** June 17, 2008, 08:57:36 AM »

And Sundays and Cybele has astonishing black and white photography.

bk · « **Reply #55 on:** June 17, 2008, 08:57:54 AM »

And one other thing - I'm up.

Since I couldn't go for a walk today, here are some photos from the patio:

DR Laura - how is your ankle today? Are you applying the R.I.C.E.
treatment?
