And on that note (A-flat), I'm leaving. Time to head home and watch a LOT of TV.

Until much later!

PAGE 11 A LOT OF TV DANCE!!!

I've written a little over seven pages, so I'm fine with that or I'll finish the eighth page when I get home. I got the Natalie Wood box set today, so I may watch Sex And The Single Girl later. I checked the transfers of Gypsy and Daisy Clover. Daisy's color seems fine but the transfer certainly could be a little better. Gypsy's color is the same as the previous DVD, but this new transfer is even sharper and better-looking. Sex and the Single Girl's color is fine but the transfer is a little dark. I think maybe all my bellyaching about Warners' color maybe paid off, because these are certainly better than the crap they've been doing, and Madding Crowd and Chips both looked fine.

re: chuck (no spoilers).

They wouldn't be handing out the glasses here. So i just used a pair i already had (the red/blue ones).

I don't think you need the glasses to watch the show. And unlike other 3D tv shows i didn't see them mentioning when to put them on and take them off (only at the beginning they said to put them on now).

But it was uncomfortable to watch with them on. It seemed like some things glowed in yellow (without the glasses). And that when chuck had his "visions" 0 that was in 3D. I'm only 1/2 way thru the episode. But so far nothing too interesting (for me) that was in 3D.

Maybe you already have a pair, DR George--do you have a DVD that's in 3-D? It looked to me like it requires the red/blue type of glasses.

I looked around the grocery store for glasses but never saw any display for them. I have red-blue; red-green; and amber 3-D glasses here. One of them should work. If not, I'll have to do without, I guess.

The ones we got at the supermarket were issued so folks culd watch the 3D ad segment during the Superbowl - they are amber/blue.

I've never heard of amber/blue glasses for 3-D. $:-\$

That's a new one on me, too.

Sounds like Christian Bale has been taking Patti LuPone lessons.

What a great week: MEDIUM is back, THE CLOSER seems to be keeping its standard quality, LIFE ON MARS is back, and LIFE returnson Wednesday. I couldn't be happier. Well, selling the property in Ohio would be too much to ask for. Or learning that a house fell on Lady M!

Well... I believe I'm going to head to the "Land Where the Wussburgers Go" a little earlier than usual tonight. I think I may be coming down with a cold. It feels like my allergies are acting up, but I'm pretty sure I'm not dealing with my allergies right now. And since I'll be heading to Memphis on Thursday for another long weekend of UPTAs, well... I haz to stay healthy. So...

Goodnight.

It happened to be one of the combinations of lenses I didn't have. I got something of the effect with the green-red glasses I had but not really the real thing. Disappointing. I think NBC dropped the ball with this. When MEDIUM did its 3-D episode, glasses were bound in TV GUIDE a week or two before the episode aired. I also saw them at the local convenience store. I saw NO displays for CHUCK glasses anywhere I shop.

ANyway, I had a full night of TV. I began by finishing the bonus features on the PRETTY WOMAN Blu-ray. I thought about bk when Garry Marshall was giving a tour around LA to see where some of the exteriors were shot. The tour was filmed in 2005 and there had been some changes since the movie was made in 1990, all of which he mentioned.

But that was the longest bonus feature at 9 minutes. It didn't take long at all for me to be finished with the disc.

Next, I watched last night's special edition of THE OFFICE. Some hysterical moments that had me howling. A beautiful Jim-Pam scene near the end. What a wonderful episode!

Matt H. · « **Reply #318 on:** February 02, 2009, 08:40:49 PM »

Next, I watched MEET THE SPARTANS which I had recorded off HBO-HD on Saturday night. Lousy movie parody of '300,' of course, but I will say it did have some gorgeous scantily clad men in it so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

Matt H. · « **Reply #319 on:** February 02, 2009, 08:41:37 PM »

The CHUCK episode was pretty fun as long as the story focused on Chuck and his adventures. The Buy More B-story was much less interesting.

Matt H. · « **Reply #320 on:** February 02, 2009, 08:43:33 PM »

With three shows I watch all coming on at 9, I didn't know which to watch and which to record. I drew cards from a deck and assigned one to each show. '24' won so that's what I watched. Riveting from beginning to end.

I recorded THE CLOSER and HEROES. I'll watch THE CLOSER tomorrow as I eat lunch.

Matt H. · « **Reply #321 on:** February 02, 2009, 08:44:55 PM »

I ended my evening with MEDIUM. I didn't find it one of the more compelling cases. The Bridgette story was certainly attention-getting. Overall, only a "medium" season premiere for MEDIUM.

Matt H. · « **Reply #322 on:** February 02, 2009, 08:45:51 PM »

And I took the shrink wrap off my work project for tomorrow: the next Criterion disc, another Buñuel film: SIMON OF THE DESERT.

Back from a very fun working dinner. I had wings, and a barbecue chicken sandwich. And now I think I deserve to sit on the couch like so much fish to watch a motion picture on DVD.

Matt H. · « **Reply #324 on:** February 02, 2009, 09:00:19 PM »

Guess I'm going to head downstairs now and go to bed.

Good night!

Still?? If I can't find any local, could you send me a pair? I'm recording the episode and can save it for a while.

Of course - and I know they are the correct ones because they showed a picture of them (with the Intel logo) on the show .

I saw NO displays for CHUCK glasses anywhere I shop.

The free glasses were hyped as "A MONSTROUS 3D EVENT" - the ad for Dreamworks Monster vs Aliens movie shown at the end of the first half of the Superbowl - there were four pair to a card with a large Intel logo. The left eye is a light Amber (or really faded red) and the right is a bright royal blue.

We had some of those yesterday for the game. I didn't see much that was interesting -- except everyone else looked really funny wearing them.

Finished with my viewing and am now listening to the new FSM release of Rozsa's Time After Time - a wonderful score.

George · « **Reply #329 on:** February 02, 2009, 11:03:40 PM »

Tonight I watched "Chuck" (without the glasses...and it wasn't too distracting) and "Heroes." "Medium" is just about over. I recorded "Kyle XY," which I'll watch later.
