[FJL]

Or the S&M version

Hey there
Jew with the scars on your thighs

[JMK]

I am off to sell several hundred more dollars worth of DVDs to the same guy who bought my last stack.  I'm loving this guy.  

[Kerry]

Best of vibes for the Karen Morrow Master Class.

[Kerry]

I'm listening to Brave Combo to keep me sane.

[singdaw]

to keep me sane.

That's a tall order!

[Kerry]

On another note (A flat), there are a number of terrific actors on this site all around the country who I think would do a terriic and truly inspiring performnance as the psychiatrist in the production of "Eqqus" on Broadway.  They could bring a whole new depth to the role!

This morning I had to renew my driver's license. I tried to squat on the floor for the photo, but they wouldn't let me. I actually felt my face inflate at the moment she snapped the photo, then deflate quarter-second later.

 

Beautiful photo!

[JMK]

I'm listening to Brave Combo to keep me sane.

Weird--I'm listening to Sane Combo to keep me brave.

[Ron Pulliam]

I am thinking that Don Giovanni would be right up my alley.

Is that a euphemism?

[Ron Pulliam]

I do hope that's not a euphemism!

Well, shucks!  

[Jennifer]

Or, maybe you will decide to skip both shows.

Jennifer, we might give THE MENTALIST a second chance, at least a few minutes worth to see if it improved at all.  

I was reading some of the reviews at televisionwithoutpity and everybody there said it was excellent. I guess i will record it and see. Although i have a few conflicts tues at 9pm. For some reason i have a bunch of shows on that time!

[Jennifer]

I feel like I am out of the loop. I did not know that kate hudson was in the movie version of NINE. Or that it was filming now.

[JoseSPiano]

DR Barnum - Alas, both Seņor Schrott and Signor D'Arcangelo remained clothed during this production.  However, my friend, Joe, is one of their dressers, so...

[JoseSPiano]

I feel like I am out of the loop. I did not know that kate hudson was in the movie version of NINE. Or that it was filming now.

Well.. It supposed to start filming last fall, but then the writer's strike got in the way of that... supposedly.  In any case, it is apparently "in process" now.  Just keep reading Playbill.com and BroadwayWorld.com for updates.  

[JoseSPiano]

-Although, we've talked about the movie version of Nine on this here site too, but that was a while ago, so...

[JoseSPiano]

DR Jennifer - Can't you just watch a show once and make a decision about whether or not it's a personal "keeper" without first reading all the forums and reviews?

I'm not trying to sound "harsh" here, but I'd always rather be pleasantly surprised by something rather than be pre-disposed to like - or dislike - "it" - a book, a show, a movie, etc.  I know that there seems to be a lot of "must-see TV" out there right now - and, for some of us - precious little viewing time and DVR space - but what happened to just watching a show just watch it?  -Then choosing not to watch it after that initial viewing if one chooses to do so?  -Especially since it seems that you - and other DRs - seem not to agree with the critics from time to time.

[JoseSPiano]

Oh!

Good Afternoon!

-It's still raining here in NYC - well, more like still drizzling in my 'hood.  However, it looks like they're still predicting some stronger weather as the afternoon goes it.  I think.  

[JoseSPiano]

And catching up from yesterday...

Casinos and I have a love-hate relationship.  I love them when I come away from the roulette table ahead by $600, but hate them when the house "takes" my money.  I used to do the slots, but then realized I'd rather have more "control" over whether or not I win or lose.  -Thus, I started playing roulette.    Seriously, I started playing blackjack a few years ago, and found that as long as I stopped when I should stop, that I would always come out ahead - by some amount - when I left the table.  Of course, there have been those moments when I thought the streak would continue, and... Then I would think it would come back... And then... Well... Play and lose.  Live and learn.

*As for slots - I remember laughing when I saw the "penny slots" in Australia in the Crown Casino.  At that time, a "penny" there was a about a half-cent American, so...  Then there were the nickel slots in Puerto Rico, and the "addicts" who would sit there all day - even "holding" their machines by placing their keys in the coin slots when they went on breaks".

[bk]

I was ready to do the long jog at ten.  Then the phone rang.  Then I finished that covnersation and was ready to go.  Then the phone rang.  Finished.  Ready to go.  Then the phone rang, etc.  I finally got on my way at eleven.  I am now back and must now get ready for a three hour work session that I hope to leave after two hours.

[bk]

I don't know why, but out of nowhere I had about ten orders in the last two hours.

[JoseSPiano]

OK - I think I'm going to head down to MoMA just to see how crazy the lines are for the Van Gogh exhibit today since it's "Target Free Fridays" starting at 4:00.  Although, if the lines are around the block to get in, well... That may be enough "viewing" for me.  But I do need to get out for a bit, even if it is raining.

Laters...

[Ginny]

BK - be sure to tell Karen Morrow that you have a friend in SW Ohio who has very fond memories of seeing her play Molly Brown at Detroit's Fisher Theatre back in the early 1960s.

Not the Blu-Ray?

der Brucer

I'm not the Blu-ray reviewer for Paramount product. I get the DVD and another reviewer gets the Blu-rays.

I am the Blu-ray reviewer for Disney Blu-rays. And speaking of them, SLEEPING BEAUTY should be arriving on Monday.

[Matt H.]

I began my afternoon of viewing by watching last night's THE OFFICE. Some funny stuff as always, love the ensemble and they way they work together with insults, helpful hints, etc. Always makes me laugh. And some momentous plot points, too!

[Matt H.]

I spent two hours this afternoon watching INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL. It was a fun movie but certainly not a match for the first INDY film, and not quite as enjoyable as the third one with Sean Connery.

It probably had less yucky moments than any of the other INDY pictures, but it did have all of the usual things: perilous events, a jeep chase, a big snake, angry natives, nasty adversaries (Russians instead of Nazis: it's set in 1957).

Shia LeBeouf is very effective as the juvenile lead, and it was wonderful to see Karen Allen back in the movie feisty as ever (though I'd have loved to have seen her do more.)

[Matt H.]

The first disc had two bonus featurettes. The first was Spielberg, Ford, and Lucas explaining about the genesis of the idea for the fourth INDY movie and the various permutations the script went through to get to the final product.

[Matt H.]

The second featurette had to do with preproduction: the previsualization CGI storyboards, the costuming, the casting of LaBeouf, locations, etc. All very interesting.

[Matt H.]

I'll watch the second disc of bonuses tonight. The first is an 80 minute making of documentary plus a bunch of other featurettes. These will take me most of the evening. I may be able to squeeze in THE MENTALIST or SUPERNATURAL toinight after I finish this second disc.

[Matt H.]

I did have a minute or two to skim through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing of interest, but Luke and Noah were in the previews for next week.

[singdaw]

I don't know why, but out of nowhere I had about ten orders in the last two hours.

Perhaps it was my message on CASTRECL that Evening Primrose was getting close to being gone, gone gone?
