TIME IS LIKE AN IGLOO

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were like an igloo, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently in an igloo trying to find out the time.

AL PACINO-

I believe that his performance in GODFATHER I is the greatest performance by an Actor captured on film.
The arc of his accomplishment from the first frame he appears in to the last is astonishing. It's a total transformation, for me ,even after many,many viewings.

The most disappointing sequel for me was THE COLOR OF MONEY. It was disheartening that Paul Newman won an Oscar for this film rather than his superb performance in THE HUSTLER. Well.....That's Hollywood !!!

Good morning, all!  This morning I have an an appointment with an optometrist for a new eyeglasses prescription and another trek to Lincoln Center.  I'm expecting a couple of checks this week and I hope they arrive soon.

I really enjoyed LIFE last night, but what happened to the boss from last year who seemed to be invovled in his arrest and conviction? The new guy mentioned demotion but it seemed curiously unexplained departure. Did I miss something in the opening?

I am ashamed to admit I never saw GODFATHER 2, but I cannot think of any sequel that's been good, either onstage or on film. I suppose the worst was EXORCIST 2, but there have been so many!

Personally, Ginny, I think you're too young to retire.

Thank you, DR SWW.  Like Paul Newman said, you can't retire from life.  I'm just retiring from Ohio public employment and keeping my antennae up for other opportunities.

The problem I'm having with today's TOD is the question of what makes a sequel, as opposed to the second part of a series.

Back to the Future II, for example, was intended as part of a series, since they filmed it back to back with III, by gosh and golly.  I don't consider it a sequel, therefor.

The Lord of the Rings films were always intended as a trilogy.  They are all part of one story - I don't think of Two Towers as a sequel at all.

But with something like Spiderman II or the Batman films - are these sequels, or parts of a franchise?  The line gets blurry fast.

And, imo, parts of a franchise being better or worse is a totally different subject.

Good morning!

It rained during the night since the ground was wet when I went out to get the newspaper this morning. It was gray, too, earlier on, but it's clearing now, and the sun is coming out. Looks to be a very nice day.
