Good Afternoon!

Well, I guess DR JulieC40 and her sis will not be able to catch Passing Strange when they come to NYC.

Passing Strange to Close on Broadway July 20

And in other news... I believe I'm going to head back down to MoMA for a bit this afternoon and see if it's any quieter in the Dali exhibit today. -Most likely not. Then spend an hour or two in Central Park since it's soooo gorgeous outside!

Laters...

Amazon.com's "Lightning Deals" today included, at 10 a.m., the "Ford at Fox" box, listed at $299.98. The price: "$129.95 -- a 56% discount off Amazon's normal price of $269.99.

This normally would last till 2 p.m. when the next Lightning Deal is offered.

They're all gone -- 100% claimed. No way of knowing, of course, just how many boxes they were clearing out. But it was one HELL of a deal.

No surprise about Passing Strange - the only surprise is that they're filming it for MTV broadcast, so, thanks to that, the producers will at least see some of their dough back.

Where do you find lightning deals? I know the Gold Box - is it that?

Sherlock helped me today by picking up the dirty clothes off the floor & passing them to me to drop into the washing machine. Now he is exhausted and sleeping.

Well, I'm one of those idiots who doesn't care for the end of A.I., so there you are.

I went back and read my notes, which were written very late, but am happy to see I did not use the word "idiots."

I did, however, use the word "stupidity" when referring to people's misunderstanding the last act of the film, and I was wrong to do so - it's all just opinions - and I've rewritten that section of the notes.

Topic of the Day: the first movie that I can think of is "Xanadu," but we all know how that turned out, many years later.

I think that Duel and Star Wars may be the only Speilberg movies I have ever seen.

Speilberg had nothing to do with "Star Wars." That was George Lucas.

I ain't got no HDNet.

I didn't know we have it until a few minutes ago. Just for fun, I set ET to record.

Well, I don't have time to look for these "lightning deal," my sister and niece are on a schedule and I'm part of it. I need to go over there to help move their treadmill out of the way so that they can blow up a blow-uppable bed...an inflatable bed. I haven't even taken a shower yet (I took today and tomorrow off from work) but I need to leave NOW and move a treadmill. Then, I'll come back home and take a shower.

George · « **Reply #134 on:** July 10, 2008, 11:58:35 AM »

My cousin and his wife are supposed to be arriving this evening from Oregon, where they live and they're staying with my sister and niece. So, I'm off!

Have a good day, all.

Jane · « **Reply #135 on:** July 10, 2008, 12:03:10 PM »

Have a nice visit with your cousins, and don't hurt yourself moving the treadmill.

OH, then I guess I have only seen one Speilberg movie and one George Lucas movie.

Wait...add a few more Lucas movies as I did see most of the Star Wars sequels/prequels....I just wish I hadn't seen them.

MBarnum · « **Reply #137 on:** July 10, 2008, 12:06:40 PM »

...on the other hand, I have seen quite a few Homi Wadia films.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #138 on:** July 10, 2008, 12:24:55 PM »

Ron, unfortunately, when you live in Hollywood, you hear all the hype about movies...months before they're ever started,let alone released...Also I had a neighbour who was a mime who was working on it, doing E.T. hand stuff, etc. so...I was also in London during its release, shooting my first two movies, so by the time I got back to the states, the thing had already been out for months, so there were no surprises for me at all.

But now that BK says he's in it (where, BK) I may have to watch it again.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #139 on:** July 10, 2008, 12:26:03 PM »

Truth is...I've never been much of one for movies about kids or starring kids, even when I was a kid I didn't much care for them.

TOD:

I think THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T was panned when it was released, and now it is considered a cult classic and still screens from time to time.

DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST (a film I edited) was panned by tons of critics when it was released in 1991, and in 2004 it was chosen for preservation by the National Film Registry.

I'm the reason ET figures out to phone home. They purchased a real phone company commericial, in which I appear with Mallory Sandler. I'm in the commercial a lot, but in ET only for a small moment.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #142 on:** July 10, 2008, 12:47:58 PM »

Pogue's list started me thinking about my favorite '80's films. Some of my faves, though not necessarily my top 10:

AFTER HOURS
AMADEUS
WHEN HARRY MET SALLY
SPINAL TAP
WITHNAIL AND I
REAL GENIUS
PEE WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE
SAY ANYTHING
FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF
TOOTSIE

Dast I admit that I have never seen the movie E.T.?

(There are some truths best kept to oneself - I, for example, have never watched Citizen Kane, but would not let that news go public).

This has been an oddly busy work day. And now that I've caught up, I have to get back to it.

DS Gabe saw a shark whilst snorkeling yesterday. Somehow this was not comforting, anecdotally speaking.

Sorry, I'm also laughing. I'm sure that information is not comforting. Was he excited?
