Finished the movie and am starting another. I'll get some fresh fruit later, and I may address another twenty-five packages, which will only leave about five hundred to do tomorrow and Thursday.

DR Jennifer - I have a feeling the big announcement was the "lame thing" that Simon announced at the top of the show.

*Although, I'm wondering if the "featured artist" will end up making a surprised appearance tonight or tomorrow night. There have been lots of rumors of at least two "special guests" appearing on tomorrow night's show. -Especially since the featured artist just announced a farewell European tour.

I've settled in to watch Alan Bates in a BBC adaptation of Dickens' HARD TIMES.

I'm curious what you think. Have you seen the '77 version to compare?

* This was a companion instrumental version released at the same time. This is not the instrumental version of Mardi Gras, but part of the ballet that ended act one.

As stated yesterday songs were not always in show order and I believe this is the correct order. Bold titles are songs in the positions.

I liked it: very bleak - what a sad plot! - and very theatrical with an excellent cast, especially Bob Peck, Alan Bates, and Richard E Grant. Dilys Lay, who plays the housekeeper Mrs Sparsit, was the original Dulcie of "It's Never Too Late to Fall In Love" in the OBC of THE BOY FRIEND with Julie Andrews. Se died recently. I've not seen the 1977 version and now I want to. I guess MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT will be the next Dickens I watch.

Please let me know when you do. I haven't seen either. I read the '77 one is better. I do enjoy Alan Bates.

Okay, early senility is settling in...

I just checked my CD collection and what should I find there, still in its shrinkwrap, but MY SQUARE LADDIE. D'oh!

It's on the Sepia label--are they still around?

It's a glorious Spring evening with so many trees and flowers blooming all illuminated by an almost full moon.

Grapefruit blossoms smell differnt from lemon blossoms.
Lemon blossoms smell different from orange blossoms.
Lime blossoms smell different from orange bloosoms.
They are all slightly different and wondrous in their own ways. Most people never bother to notice.

And schnozberries smell like schnozberries.

Nursie, if you read all the comments in the IMDB reviews, you'd see that some really liked the Alan Bates adaptation. It's only 2 hrs long, as oppoed to the 1977 version, so it's much abridged, but i found it quite good. Rent it. Or rent the DOMBEY AND SON, which was quite good.

DR Dan(theMan), Sepia Records is indeed alive and well:

I swear life is never as easy as you think it will be. I finally hang up my acting boots, and suddenly I get an offer to do a show at one of Seattle's better theater companies.

So dust of the boots and put them back on

Just saw that singer/actor Jimmy Boyd died over the weekend. I used to so enjoy him on BACHELOR FATHER.

I had forgotten he was married to Yvonne Craig for a few years. Seems an unlikely pair to me.

DR Kerry, I used to love the heavy scent of orange blossoms when I lived in PHX.

Watched CASTLE and enjoyed it very much. Nathan Fillion is just such a charming actor and I loved Susan Sullivan as his mom and also the girl who plays his daughter. I will tune in again.

Susan sure can't sing nor can she keep time to the music (or at least her character couldn't.) She was always a few measures behind the pianist singing "I Can't Say No."

I want to reiterate that I enjoyed CASTLE; I just found the first segment establishing his character a bit too overblown.

I watched the remaining bonus features on TO CATCH A THIEF. Some were ports from previous releases and some were new. None were particularly long, however, so it didn't take too long to get through them.

Matt H. · « **Reply #264 on:** March 10, 2009, 08:26:37 PM »

Next, I watched the gay espionage film KISS ME DEADLY. Not as entertaining as the Donald Stratchey mystery series, it was still fine for a low budget spy flick. In order to compete with the BOURNE movies et al, it'd need a lot more action, but I wouldn't be against a series of these spy films if here! wants to finance them.

Matt H. · « **Reply #265 on:** March 10, 2009, 08:27:06 PM »

I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing of interest and nothing in the previews.

Matt H. · « **Reply #266 on:** March 10, 2009, 08:28:35 PM »

Then I watched IDOL, skimming though all the filler and just watching the performances. They certainly front-loaded the show. The first four vocalists were (along with Adam) the best in the competition.

I found all four of the wild card pics the weakest performers this week. I can't see any of them hanging around for very long.

I'm logging on late today, because I've been setting up my new MacBook Pro (with help); trying to figure out how it works.

The kindness of strangers?

When I first came to Los Angeles back in the early 1960s, and was trying to figure out how to break into show biz, I took a stroll up the Sunset Strip and, for a reason that I cannot for my life remember, walked into an agent's office.

His was a real old timer named Leon Lance. He invited me in and, for about 15 minutes, talked to me about the realities of Hollywood. I never saw the man again, but I've never forgotten that kindness.

I meant to mention earlier that CASTLE finished 2nd in the 10 p.m. timeslot last night after CSI: MIAMI and ahead of MEDIUM.

However, CASTLE had the advantage of a HUGE audience lead-in from DANCING WITH THE STARS while MEDIUM had HEROES for a lead-in (which finished fourth at 9 p.m.) While scoring 11 million viewers, CASTLE lost about 50% of the DANCING WITH THE STARS audience. It needs to have a better retention than that if it's to survive.

Funny, but MEDIUM is now NBC's highest rated show on Monday night.
