I finished the British movie RING OF BRIGHT WATER. It is about a Londoner who tires of his life in the city, buys a pet otter and moves to a run down cottage on the coast.

It was a beautiful movie. It has the same cast and is by the makers of BORN FREE. I am suprised I had never heard of it nor seen it before.

Well, those damn horns didn't catch this ferry!

Those horns are to warn the yokels in rowboats - we don't want a "FERRY RAMS FAIRY" headline.

I tried to watch a 1952 Turkish movie titled TARZAN ISTANBULDA. I have tried on several occasions to watch old Turkish movies, but they all end up looking like they were filmed by school kids with an 8mm camera. They make very little sense. This film was made even worse by having the subitles off by about 10 seconds. It was too annoying.

If they had stuck some musical numbers in I might have been able to tolerate it.

[MBarnum]

So I think I will watch something India or Chinese. I think I have a Roy Chiao movie I have not even opened yet. I have been neglecting my films from Hong Kong.

The temperature was in the mid 30's today, but the way everyone was bundled up in coats, hats, mufflers, and gloves, I thought it must be at least in the teens!

JRand: But that wind went right through ya! Brrrrrrrr!

"Based on a true story" is one of the most overused lines in TV movie history - who knows how true the story was/is?

This is not exactly new - Anna wrote this for Lifetime years ago (maybe five?) - it sat there like so much fish, then went elsewhere, and ended up at Hallmark this year.

I don't understand how when the screenplay was written, makes the film any less moving or effective?  I truly enjoyed it.

I feel that way about most movies.

JRand: Tune in tomorrow morning between 6 and 6:30 a.m. to FOX 59, and you will catch a glimpse of us rehearsing Daddy's Dyin'. (They're interviewing our lighting designer and we're all hauling our cookies to the theater at 6 a.m. to provide "background" for them!) Joe Bob says, check it out!

Straight from the horse's mouth - Mr. Maharis says:

As for why he left “Route 66,” Maharis emphatically said it wasn’t because of demands for more money, or that he was trying to break his contract so he could get into movies. It was, he said, because of hepatitis problems starting in 1962.

Maharis was hospitalized for a month and missed several episodes because of the disease. He returned to the set and its 12- to 15-hour days. A few weeks after a grueling scene where he rescued a woman from a near-freezing creek, Maharis suffered a relapse.

“The doctor said, ‘If you don’t get out now, you’re either going to be dead, or you’re going to have permanent liver damage,’” Maharis recalled.

“I wasn’t interested in leaving the show. I enjoyed it; I was having a good time. It probably could have gone two or three more years, and I think they even had plans of taking the show to Europe. That’s what they talked about, anyway, and I would have looked forward to that.

“I was trying to recuperate, and there was all the crap going on about how I wanted more money. It was all garbage. Some people even tried to make it like I never had hepatitis at all. But it’s all in the doctor’s reports.

“I was just ill. It took me 2 1/2, three years to recuperate before I started working again. What should have happened, I guess, was that I should have worked only a couple of hours a day.”

This afternoon I bought a new pair of jeans.  I've spent the time since I bought said pair of jeans looking up good workout videos to go with my new exercise ball.  You can guess how depressing the jeans shopping experience was. 

Anyway, whilst hunting on amazon.com for a good stability ball workout DVD, I found this.

I thought I'd post it in case anyone was wondering what to get TCB for Christmas.

So, a song in the shower for Psycho, a lullaby for Rosemary's Baby, and a chorus number for Carrie?

We could put the ""Pick-a-Little" number from Music Man into The Birds!

Re George Maharis:

It was very sad that even as a junior high school student in Tacoma Washington, we heard all the nasty rumors about Mr. Maharis being caught in a gas station restroom.  Perhaps the sad thing is that as junior high school students, we understood what that was supposed to mean.

[Jrand74]

That's the story I remember, too, MR BK.....DR MS is correct.

It seems that the last Buz episode was broadcast on January 18, 1963, and Linc Case joined the show with the March 22, 1963, episode.

[Jrand74]

DR LULU, have we done a show together?

Wow 6:30 a.m. - yes, I think we did that for LOVING LUCY so we could be on Fox 59.

[DERBRUCER]

I bet. Want to give Toby back for a slimmer figure

Enjoy the kid and don't fret on waistlines - in a few months he'll be running you ragged and you'll be a beanpole.

How is Dr Kerry's marmalade kitten this morning?

Hungry. And purry.

No doubt in Sandra's lap which is where she belongs!

DR Kerry how can you possibly resist a cuddly purry kitten?

Sadly, no.

Interestingly, I asked how things went last week, but no one will say anything.

 LOL!  Ashamed to mention the golden calf incident, no doubt

Sadly, no.

According to the always reliable Wikipedia (not), it was in the 1970s.  But there had been a previous arrest in 1967.

[TCB]

I am just saying that when he left ROUTE 66, there were rumors of gay activity.  I am not saying these rumors were true, but I am saying that there were rumors back then.

How are you feeling today TCB? 

Is your flu going away?

 Do you need anything?

Tissues?


 Chicken soup?



Work out DVDs?
 

[vixmom]

Jane - the Vixter was overstressing abou the assignment (misplaced stress IMHO) and she has a week to complete it so I made her take a break and start fresh tomorrow _ I will show her you email in the morning


The problem is that she READS; she doesn't watch all the TV and go the the "teen movies" (although she is looking forward to Twilight)  so she is not aware of current actors in the right age brackets

Yes, I am feeling better.  Thank you.  Chicken soup sounds good, but if it is too much trouble, a workout DVD will do.

We're STILL on page six?

[Jane]

DR Vixmom, I also sent her the email after finally getting a connection again.  Odd I could send you one through outlook but not one through HHW to The Vixter.

Now that I must leave for the evening all is working fine again.

'night

We're STILL on page six?

  we're doing our best here!!! I've been back and forth since 5 AM!!

Had the telephonic conversation, which, thanks to your vibes and xylophones, was not at all what I expected - it was pleasant and the person owned up to the fact that the thing they needed to find was probably in the office - the person was, in fact, out of the office most of the week with the flu - so he asked me to hold tight while they continue to look for it - which is fine.
