Just checking in cause even though I've been lost in the E and T HHW black hole of gratuitous posting, you folks are not forgotten.

Costuming the little theatre's holiday show has taken on a life of its own (might as well take a cot up there) -- period piece (Dickens-ish) so each character has loads of items -- hats, gloves, muffs, scarfs, etc. etc. -- plus a cast of thousands (well, 30 -- but to a small community theatre costumer that equates to a cast of thousands -- plus many hard-to-fit sizes and little details like sprigs of holly to attach to hats and muffs (the kinds of things I'd like to take a hat glue gun to but can't cause we're so small we have to reuse everything, velcro for check changes, etc.

Oops, -- sorry, TMI, I know, I do go on ... and on

Just wanted you to know my E and T excuse had a sense of community service .. a benefit to the good of humanity -- you know, I wasn't sitting around eating bon-bons and watching soap operas to avoid you HHWayers...

Uh-oh, I can hear DR RonnieP musing (or would that be grousing?) about my gratuitous mini-frenzy, so I'll stop ...

DR jose, those clearings of my cache did not help. So i really don't understand.

The only thing it did do was i had to re-log on to HHW. :)

Speaking of Dickens-ish, I watched GREAT EXPECTATIONS last night on TCM.  What a perfectly perfect movie it is!  Putting aside that it leaves out over half the plot from the book, I think it's probably the best Dickens adaptation (I'm not counting theatrical or TV mini-series, though.)

Is it available on DVD?

Yes, it is!  On Criterion, no less.

The problem with "controversial" movies is that, what was controversial back then might not be controversial today.

That aside, I've always enjoyed:

I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG
CROSSFIRE
FURY
ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN
JFK
THEY WON'T FORGET (Wish they'd release this one on DVD)

Movies in which dogs or other animals are killed are too difficult for me to watch, which is why I won't see WHITE DOG.

I won't watch OLD YELLER or THE YEARLING either.

For those of you who pre-ordered my book [ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker], I was informed by my publisher that it started shipping yesterday.

Thank you and enjoy!

DR Ron Pulliam, I'm sorry about the broken glass. IO know how frustrating it is in having your hopes dashed when the item arrives and in the time and effort comsumed to achieve satisfaction from the original shippers.  I've been couting and sorting whatchamacallits, screws, bolts, etc for the last 40 minutes. Oy!

I saw DEEP THROAT a couple of times in Dayton in the 1970s; I still don't know if it's obscene.  Sometimes unintentionally funny and sometimes very funny. Rude, perhaps.

I know there are some fans here. NBC has announced that MEDIUM returns to Mondays at 10 p.m beginning Feb 2.

I'm up way too early.

I've caught up with last night's posts.

And I've a "Twilight-Zone"-ish image in my mind after reading Jose's descriptive remark "...in his blue-eyed hands."


:D

Isn't there a Stephen King story about an astronaut who comes back with blue-eyed hands?

Sounds like a Harlan Ellison opus to me.

So sorry, DR Ron Pulliam.

Hope the return and replacement is not a difficult process.

I have to schlep it over to CostCo tomorrow and HOPE they have another in stock.

Good morning!

I stayed up way too late last night reading, so I didn't get enough sleep. Maybe tonight will be better. Cold but beautiful outside. Should be a nice day with highs again in the 50s.

Yes, I read the news about MEDIUM yesterday. Very happy to see it return to its original Monday night slot. NBC has been threatening a Sunday night slot for years, but it's never happened.

MYRA BRECKINRIDGE.

It's a horrible movie, but I have always enjoyed watching it. It's the very definition of a guilty pleasure.

With only 10 episodes left, I will be able to finish TRANSFORMERS today, but it'll go into the evening viewing because I have lunch plans with friends today. Still, I may have some time to watch something for fun before UGLY BETTY comes on, and I won't be watching it "live" anyway.

Very sorry to read about your TV stand problem, DR Ron Pulliam. That's the kind of thing that would drive me batty, too. Hopefully, Costco can replace it.

I'm at work...have been for about 35 minutes.  Way too early to be "at work", but I've had a really nice brekkie of cheese omelet and crispy bacon.

I'm having a nice cup of coffee.

And I may do what I did yesterday....go down the street and get a three-shot latte.  Just to get me through the morning, dontchaknow!

We're not getting UGLY BETTY.  In that time slot is some post-game show.  I'm guessing either the Raiders or the 49ers have a Thursday night game.

DRAT!

Oh, well.

This is Barbara Walters' 10 most fascinating people of the year special I think.

Was it someone here who said that, based on her selections, Barbara Walters is easily fascinated?
