Last night, while at a neighborhood (3 houses worth) gathering, we were informed JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH is not being shown in 3-D in our neck of the woods.  I'm very glad we found out ahead of time.  As disappointed as I am, I would have been upset to discover this AFTER purchasing a ticket.

The film played at almost every theater complex in the city, but only two of them were showing it in 3-D, neither anywhere near my house, so I passed on it.

Did JR already mention that it was 38 years ago today that Frances Farmer shuffled off this mortal coil?

Page Seven Dorothy Dance!!!

And now I'm REALLY going!

[MBarnum]

Are you sure it was a shuffle, DR JMK?

Well, I was going to say stagger, but she had been in the hospital with cancer, after all, and the last thing she did was fix some tea for friends, so I was trying to be kind.

Do the theaters advertise the movie is in 3D?  Our theaters don't state the movie won't be in 3D, which I find annoying.

Regal Cinemas in Lacey is only playing it in 3-D.  It specified that when I looked it up at Fandango.com.  I really want to see this!

Enjoy your entertainment DR ELMORE....

His VCR??      

[singdaw]

Thanks, DR Jane!!

Fandango does mention to check if your local theater is showing it in 3D.  What I can't find out is where the closest 3D theater is to us.  Probably because it is in Portland.

Jean had gone home to feed that cats because the doctors told her Frances would last at least through the afternoon.

Frances Farmer 1913-1970

Judy Garland 1922-1969

Which just goes to show you that booze and pills will get you quicker than booze and cigarettes.

All righty - I've been slaving away over the liner notes - am over halfway done now.  Ate a couple of small turkey sandwiches for the meal o' the day.

Battle Of The Bulge

Again, DR elmore3003's VCR...

[Tomovoz]

TOTD:
CDs: 1. Ben Folds "Rockin' the Suburbs"
         2. Neil Diamond "Home Before Dark"
         3. Hucknall (Mick) "Tribute to Bobby".    

[Tomovoz]

For those not in to "pop" music.
Mick Hucknall is the lead singer of Manchester UK group "Simply Red". They had 2 #1 hits in the USA in the 1980's. Mick's voice (IMHO) is one of the best and most distinctive in pop music.

The Bobby Tribute is to Bobby "Blue" Bland..

Good Evening!

Well... I ended up back at MoMA earlier this afternoon.  I started off walking through the five model homes that are on "display" in their open lot in conjunction with Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling.  Some very cool structures, although I'm not exactly just how comfortable living in the Micro Compact Home would be.

I was going to head back up to the sixth floor to check out the gallery exhibit again, but I got sidetracked by Kirchner and the Berlin Street.  This exhibition doesn't open to the public until Sunday, but MoMA Members are able to preview it now.  And since I'm a member...

I ended up spending about an hour "experiencing" the prints, paintings and sketches that comprise this exhibit.  Some truly striking images (for lack of a better word).  -And I think I may head back there tomorrow to check it out again since it's the last Member Preview Day.

   

[JoseSPiano]

...After sitting in the Museum's Sculpture Garden for a bit - I think I may have even nodded off a few times - I was going to head back up to the Dali exhibit, but once I stepped into the lobby, I noticed that the crowd was getting, well, crowded.  -It was actually not that busy when I got there earlier this afternoon.

Well, it turned out that the crowd was in conjunction with the Target Free Friday Nights at MoMA.  And there were a LOT of people taking advantage of the free passes: the line was snaked down the block and around the corner when I stepped out on to 53rd Street.  So...  A good time to head back home.

I have a Google alert set up to notify us of anything written about our film. My search terms are the name of the film plus the director (my partner Peter.)

Here's the most interesting result so far:

The 3-D info is on the Fandango page of movie, the theatres showing it and the times.  I think it's crap that it's being shown in both 2- and 3-D since it was expressly designed to be a 3-D film.

[elmore3003]

It's only showing in 3-D at the theatre around the corner from me and Union Square.

[Ginny]

Well, I survived my first week back at work, but I'm sure tired.  Fortunately, this was a light week for me (as the last week of the month usually is) and next week I have only one off-site meeting.

[George]

Well, I'm outta here.  My friend Margo and I are going to see a kid's production of Thoroughly Modern Millie.  It should be good.

Have a good evening, all!

[Tomovoz]

Update:

I am now listening to "Her Own Kind Of Light" - jackie deshannon

Just finished the liner notes - I had grand fun doing them, and the booklet IS in Smell-O-Vision, home-style.

Hi all.  The jury went home for the weekend and will resume deliberations on Monday morning.  I think this is a good sign. One never knows with juries, but I think this is a good thing

[DearReaderLaura]

It will be good for you to relax a couple days, Pricilla (sic).
