Guess it was actually spelled Hempel's, per wikipedia.

I don't have very discerning tastes when it comes to pizza. I generally have liked all the pizzas I've eaten. In the second production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC that I did, the actor playing Capt. Von Trapp managed a Brixx pizzaria. For an end-of-show gift, I made him a homemade DVD of Tony Award musical numbers (this was before the BROADWAY LOST TREASURE'S starting coming out) from things like GRAND HOTEL, MY ONE AND ONLY, etc. He was so thrilled to get it that he treated me to a night at his pizza place, and I could order anything and everything from the menu I wanted.

THAT was a memorable night. I'm surprised he didn't declare bankruptcy the next day!

I began my afternoon watching the remainder of FEAR ITSELF from Thursday night. It's the best episode that they've done in weeks. I really enjoyed it, and it had a neat twist I wasn't expecting.

Then I watched more WILL & GRACE episodes. One was the infamous break-up episode between Will and Vince which is the episode that won Bobby Canavalle his Guest Actor Emmy. A very touching episode (lily Tomlin was also a guest star, and I think she was nominated for this same episode.)

Followed were two more episodes featuring Jeff Goldblum as Scott Woolly, trying to ruin Karen's life. He was a quirky character; I'm sorry the writers didn't think of more creative things to do with him once they had gotten him established.

In the last of those episodes, Scott has fallen in love with Karen and tries to get her to date him at an annual dance at Karen's club. Also there, of course, is the infamous Beverley Leslie (Leslie Jordan) with his "business associate" Benji. And guest starring in the episode were Michele Lee and Chita Rivera as lesbian lovers masquerading as siblings.

With that many guest stars, it was a fun romp.

Another episode introduced Ed Burns as Grace's new love interest and featured Jack trying to clip a lock from Patti Lupone's hair so he could complete his Broadway diva's wig. Patti looked good in this episode and sang "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" at the end with assist from Will and Jack as the clippers came ever-closer to La Lupone . . . .

Tonight I'll be watching THE DOORS on Blu-ray.

I also noticed that I had the DVR record NANCY DREW on HBO-HD. Never saw this at the theater or on DVD previously, so I'll be curious to see what this is like, too.

Have some computer maintenance to do and then will head down to watch THE DOORS on Blu-ray. There are some bonuses on the disc, too, so it looks like I maybe occupied with this disc most of the evening.

Cilla, I was going to tell you to look at today's Non Sequitur comic strip, but when I searched online it seems that the Oregonian has run one that is not being done nationally, which is truly weird.  I'll try to scan it and post it later--some cogent commentary on being an attorney and food choices.  :)

Well, that tells me a lot  ;)

DP Colin and I watched "The Bucket List" last night.
(Was it DR Ginny who was going to watch it?).

It seemed to us to be movie making by numbers!

About Schmidt was so much better,

In the "bucket, the whole was so much less than the sum of the parts.
(Which is of course "A Whole In the Bucket" reference).

Of course I thought "As Good As it Gets" was not as good as it gets!

(Helen Hunt just seemed to play her TV show character.  I did like her performance though in "Pay it Forward")

Speaking of siblings, did JulieC40 and "sister" contact anyone about getting together in Manhattan?

Helen Hunt is the movie's equivalent of our Victoria Clark: they win awards for their performances and I don't know how anyone anywhere considers their work remotely worth hiring much less awarding.

I did not like AS GOOD AS IT GETS at all, and only barely liked PAY IT FORWARD, although I thought the idea of it was nice.

A while back I bought this fantastic Bollywood movie poster








I just think it is beautiful. It is from the 1948 film VEER GHATOTKACH (Brave Ghatotkach), a mythological movie featuring a story from the Ramayan.


I finally located a VCD of the movie, which stars the lovely Meena Kumari in one of her first adult lead roles back when she was making a lot of these B movies. It has no subtitles, but it is still a fun movie, and there are some rather attractive actors in the film as well.

Please make sure you don't confuse the mail man with the FedEx man DR Michael.

Yes, DR Tomovoz, we also watched The Bucket List last night.  It was OK and I was glad we hadn't paid theater prices to see it.  I think my DH liked it more than I did.

I don't remember the pizza, but one time DR Megan and I found a pizza place called "Marilyn's" that had everything Marilyn Monroe. DR Megan is a Marilyn Monroe fan.
