Although, I did get distracted by something I seem to have forgotten.

I spent a good 2 1/2 hours watching the rest of the bonus material on the SALO disc. There were three documentaries, one interview with the production designer, and a director-critic who offered a half hour analysis of the movie.

All of those pieces showed film clips in discussing things they wanted to talk about, and often it was the most repugnant and/or violent moments I kept having to relive.

I can tell myself "it's just a movie" but I can never convince myself that it's not real.

I watched more scenes of A FEW GOOD MEN on Blu-ray. I always enjoy revisiting this. But now that I have so many box sets stacking up, I had to take it out of the player.

To get ready for tonight's BURN NOTICE, I plucked the 1st season set off the shelf and pulled out one of the discs.

You're not going to believe the irony of this but the episode I watched was the episode that introduced the character of Virgil to the show. I didn't remember the episode all that clearly and really enjoyed it. Imagine my surprise when 5 minutes after I finished watching this episode on DVD, I turned into the show only to see the return of Virgil! I couldn't believe the coincidence!

Just loved tonight's BURN NOTICE, of course. Any time Michael enacts a character apart from himself to fool the opposition, it always tickles me to death. Jeffrey Donovan is SUPERB in this show! What a showcase for him!

Re: Tonight's "Big Brother" eviction and new HOH!

Well, well,well, well, well.  Things are VERY interesting.  I like both results.  But now we'll see what we'll see.

I also enjoyed the results of BB10, although I don't know who won the HOH yet...you must be getting the live feed or something.

As long as it isn't Michelle who won, then I am happy.

And speaking of Big Brother, in this case season 9's Natalie...she had her grand opening of her art gallery tonight at 7pm. I was going to attend but I was so friggin tired by the time I got off of work that I just flopped onto the couch and and went right to sleep!

I wanted to get to meet her, but since we live in the same town I suppose I will run into her soon or later.

Now to go finish watching Babs and Rod in THE LOCKED DOOR (1929). I certainly enjoyed the first half.

Good Evening!

I'm back from Nudists In Love...

I had a good time.  Is it the next "Great American Musical"?  No.  But it might be the next "Great Fringe Festival Show".  I will say the only major quibble I had with the show is the title.  It sets up certain expectations - and the wrongs ones - at least for me.  The show deals with a lot more than just nudists and nudity.  Otherwise, it was well cast, well sung, and well played.

I'm awake with scratchy eyes.  I fear this may mean the start of the dreaded Fall allergy season.

You're welcome, DR singdaw.

I'd actually say more about the show itself, but I think the website give just the right amount of information without spoiling it.  -And all I can think of to write about would be spoilers.  So...  :-X

Well, there was some report on the news earlier today stating that this Fall allergy season will be worse than normal for two reasons.  Alas, since I never saw the report itself - just the teaser - I don't know what those two reasons are.  ;)

Back from Sharon McNight's show, about which more later.  I had a nice piece of salmon with a tiny bit of hollandaise on it, a little bit of rice, and some green beans, so I think that's a reasonable meal, given my two poached egg breakfast.
