You're right, Cillaliz. That microburst we had a couple years ago was probably not as bad as your storm, but I don't care to repeat that again!

But some wind, lightening, and rain would be appreciated.

They called ours a derecho....right...

My DH wanted to go to a store called FYE tonight. I was ready to leave after about 15 minutes, so I whiled away the 2 hours I had to spend there by watching different films that were running, including SHORT CIRCUIT. When my DH finally showed up, I pointed out how much the robot in the movie resembled pictures I'd seen of WALL-E.

As we got in line, I heard a little kid calling out to his Dad, after seeing the same movie: "It's Wall-e!"

Here's the SHORT CIRCUIT ROBOT:

JOHNNY 5!!!

I loved SHORT CIRCUIT

I had a great salad at La La's - just perfect, and their dressing, whatever it is, is really light - I really doubt there's any oil in it at all - it's very thin.

SPOILER ALERT/WARNING

For any DR who has not yet watched tonight's finale of "Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for the Next Elle Woods", DO NOT go to Playbill.com, Broadwayworld.com, etc., etc., etc.

I read this a while back but it was still fun to watch and to know about what happened to the others

Time for bed. I have Jury Selection starting in the morning, so I will need extra time in the morning to attempt to look marvelous for the jury.  I'm really ready for this trial to start.  Tonight is the first night it was on the news and of course they got the "facts" wrong already.  

There will be a camera in the courtrrom.  So, I'm sure we'll make the evening news.

The Oscar song is sort of pointless and giving the "Another suitcase" song to Madonna I guess was only so she could sing something else!

IMHO quite a mess of a movie yet some of the cinematography was good.

I was not really sure the film truly had a "focus".  I've not watched it since its release at the cinema though

Tim Rice said that "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" really didn't make sense either. (when he wrote it as it was a "Dummy" lyric)

Whether or not he is intended to be Ernesto "Che" Guevara is not plot significant.

Yet "Che" is listed in the credits.

It was understandable in the stage production (and more so in the concept album recording) that Che was the "moral" conscience of the movie and the chief critic of the "Climb" of Eva Peron.

I doubt the movie really made any sense to the viewers who were not familiar with the stage musical.

I guess it is one of TCB's favourite movies but he won't be reading this post so I guess he won't react.

CHE must be one of the most interesting political characters of the 2oth Century.  I really liked Motor Cycle Diaries.

Before "Gay" was the word, I remember in the UK in 1973 that CHE was very recognisable as a name - and was also the CAMPAIGN FOR HOMOSEXUAL EQUALITY.

I can't think of any more BMs.

I was at school with Barry Moore and I taught with Barbara Moore. I don't think either person is known to the general public.

Agree that the Oscar song was pointless, moving another Suitcase was just dumb, and, yes, the cinematography was quite good (and if you close your eyes, the movie doesn't sound all that bad). A great "movie moment" truely lost. Sad!

der Brucer

I'm hoping for a good cinema treatment of Les Miz (Because it is based on a novel, the screenwriters don't have to stretch to give the plot some more definition, if desired.)

Imagine the great visuals that could be created to accompany Eponine's trip from the house to the barricades while singing On My Own!

On the original white album studio recording, you never get the impression that he's supposed to be Che Guevara.  It seemed that he was just the narrator who happened to be named Che.
