I also find GANDHI overrated and am not a big fan of THE LAST EMPEROR either. The latter particularly has a hard time engaging me.

I have mixed feelings about THE LAST EMPEROR.

It's not one of my favorite films, but I did find the story rather involving.

I do enjoy films that relate an aspect of history with which I am unfamiliar.

there really is an Unguentine? I don't believe that BK explained what it was.

Girl, where on earth were you in the 60s?

? Unguentine was advertised on billboards, over the radio and on TV. It was as ubiquitous as Serutan (that's "Natures", spelled backwards)!

Most apricots are apricot sized. DERLaura's Apricots are enourmous! Her DH Don is well aware of this,I'm sure. He may slug me, however, for saying it.

Speaking of history movies:

Am I the only person who is tired of all the movies they keep making about Henry VIII and Elizabeth I?

Good as these films may be, aren't there other English kings and queens that they can make movies about?

Too bad he didn't make a large lemon pie, also, while he was at it in the kitchen!

How could he? He put the lemons into the chicken.

Jeanne · « **Reply #67 on:** July 31, 2008, 08:37:08 AM »

If you cook the chicken with lemons inside, then do you make chicken lemon pie?

Apparently! I had never heard of it until I read bk's notes this morning, and then I googled it. Although, as DR Elan's post showed, if I had been paying attention to my obscure musicals lyrics...

If DH Richard makes dessert pie, it will most likely be pumpkin.

On another note (and NOT related to the size of DRLaura's huge apricots) the ceramiic cock on top of my ice box rattled several times through the middle of the night!

DR JRand, shame on you for making the lighting girl cry.

PS: sounds like a good play could be made from what is happening during the making of this play! LOL!

I have rather enjoyed the "Elizabeth" movies, although I skipped the Blanchett sequel at the insistence of a friend.

I, of course, love the 60s take on Henry II ("Becket" and "Lion in Winter"), and the Henry V movies are both wonderful (Olivier & Branagh).

I'm wondering whose story would make the most entertaining film? I'm still somewhat intrigued by the abdication in the 30s of the late Duke of Windsor (George III?), but there is some tawdriness involved that doesn't appeal to me, as well.

"Cromwell" rather soured me on seeing anything more about Charles I. And we've more than had enough of "Arthur" of the Britons.

I've had Vista by necessity since the week it came out--our old XP computer died the day they pulled all XPs off the shelves and I had to buy Vista. There were some driver issues to begin with, but I haven't experienced anything like that for well over a year (and in fact I really didn't have any problems anyway, I just downloaded drivers until I found something that worked).

JMK · « **Reply #80 on:** July 31, 2008, 08:46:45 AM »

I will say it did have a glitch, that others I know who have Vista experienced as well, where the internets (a Geo. Bush reference) would just "turn off" willy-nilly and you'd have to reboot to get access again. That seems to have been fixed completely with the new SP2 download.

No, I was spending time with BK, then went to UCLA.

Perhaps Unguentine didn't get as much press in LA as in did where you were.

DR MBarnum may have trouble recalling the films of the 1980s, but I'm having trouble recalling anything from the 1980s!

Jeanne · « **Reply #85 on:** July 31, 2008, 08:53:37 AM »

I am still running XP Pro and do not wish to move to Vista. A friend who's a computer geek finally upgraded, thinking it was now safe, but ran into a number of problems. I don't recall the details.

I can't recall a single case from my software development days when a project wasn't rushed at the end. But, then again, I can't remember much from the 1980s.

Jeanne · « **Reply #86 on:** July 31, 2008, 08:54:38 AM »

I loved UNGUANTINE as a child. it seemed so official and medical (it even was packaged like a fire extinguisher- to put out out the burning feeling and the sting--- great for red ant bites and sunburns as i recall). I even liked the smell. Do they still make it?

Well, in the late 60's I was in Palos Verdes.

Before that, I was the proverbial gleam in my father's eye, I suppose...
