Les Mis is one of my favorite musicals and the piece she did is one of my favorite songs. She did an amazing job, I had chills after the first few notes

Good Evening!

About to go over notes from tonight's tech...

That is all.

Marilyn Chambers 56??? Are you joking? That would have made her seventeen at the time of filming Behind The Green Door and she'd already been a working model doing print ads for several years - as an adult. No, I'm afraid there's no way Ms. Chambers was anything less than sixty-seven.

I was wondering the same thing. I mean, she was already "old" - well, at least "older" - by the time I first noticed her. -And those videotapes were already old themselves.

Thanks for the welcoming posts. Leave it to Jose to ask where I ate first. I was in the mood for Mexican food and DF&H#2 chose a restaurant called Talpa, I think, on Pico Blvd. It was very good. DF&H#2 has introduced me to many good restaurants over the years.

Just remember, it's all about the food!

*And I actually think I've eaten at Talpa during one of my visits to LA. Nice, old school Mexican place. Pico and Gateway area?

Had a full evening of filmed entertainment.

I began by finishing the bonus features on IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES. There wasn't quite an hour of stuff left to watch, but I did get it all done, and some of it was quite interesting, especially the discussions about the censorship of the film in Japan where they showed different ways the film has been censored down through the years.

Next, I watched the last film in the Alice Faye box - FOUR JILLS IN A JEEP. Ha! Alice was in three minutes of the movie, enough to sing "You'll Never Know."

Funny that Dick Haymes, being introduced in the movie, got the most musical numbers: three songs. Martha Raye and Carol Landis got one each and Mitzi McCall got two dances.

Matt H. · « **Reply #250 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:43:13 PM »

I couldn't understand why they only gave Martha Raye one musical number until I looked at the outtakes where she had two other major musical sequences cut from the movie. It made much more sense having seen those.

Matt H. · « **Reply #251 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:44:36 PM »

Also took a peep at the "making of" documentary on the disc. Yes, the ever-knowledgeable Dr. Drew Casper was front and center to start off the featurette.

Matt H. · « **Reply #252 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:45:50 PM »

Then I watched tonight's CHUCK. Not interested in the Buy More/ ALL ABOUT EVE scenario, but Chuck's mission to find his dad by using his ex- girl friend was very involving, and I enjoyed that part of the show a lot.

Matt H. · « **Reply #253 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:47:28 PM »

Next was another fantastic episode of '24' which both tear-inducing scenes and a heartbreaking one when the villain was revealed. Argh! (I will hope against hope that this is another elaborate black op that we'll eventually be filled in about.)

Matt H. · « **Reply #254 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:48:33 PM »

And I concluded my evening with MEDIUM, one of the best episodes in quite a while. Lots of shocks, surprises, and twists. I loved it, and the final scene was really heartwarming.

Matt H. · « **Reply #255 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:49:15 PM »

I noticed that Luke and Noah were on AS THE WORLD TURNS today, but I didn't have time to watch it. I'll catch up to it tomorrow during lunchtime.

Matt H. · « **Reply #256 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:50:05 PM »

I also have to spend some time in the morning having the oil changed in my car and getting it inspected for another year. That's always a pain, but it has to be done. I'll be glad to have that chore over with.

I can't get with the motion picture I'm watching - really bad - The Crowded Sky. So, I'll finish writing questions, take a long hot shower and maybe read some more of the long musical.

I had a question for Ask BK Day. I hope I remember it by Wednesday.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #259 on:** April 13, 2009, 09:00:34 PM »

DR Ron Pulliam - Was the term "chits" short for something else? An acronym possibly? -I'm just trying to remember if I ever heard that term when I worked at Coast Guard HQ, and had to process and file the paperwork for billet changes.

And you may have mentioned this before, but... How long did you end up staying in US Navy? -And was there a possibility of being drafted into the Marines (instead of the Navy) at the time? And do you still keep in touch with some of your fellow enlisted personnel and officers?

And, yes, that is a great story.

Well I'll go on record (so to speak) guessing one of the OCRs is CRY FOR US ALL

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #261 on:** April 13, 2009, 09:01:46 PM »

OK... I believe I have a tech-induced headache... which should abate once I get ready for bed, so...

Goodnight.

Matt H. · « **Reply #262 on:** April 13, 2009, 09:07:50 PM »

I'm heading downstairs to bed. I stayed up WAY too late last night reading, and my eyes are now very heavy indeed.

Good night!

And it would be simply mahvelous if BK's recent incursion at WB has led to A TIME FOR SINGING.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #264 on:** April 13, 2009, 09:21:05 PM »

Oh... And before I head to bed...

For anyone following the whole "Amazon FAIL" situation, here's a very interesting post from DearAuthor.com:

Amazon Using Category MetaData to Filter Rankings

I know there has been some follow-up from Amazon.com today, but there's still something fishy and just plain wrong about the whole situation - regardless of the fact that they started de-ranking some titles and authors a few months ago.

JMK, it's not either of those, but I don't rule out the possibility of someday being able to get them - but I've been saying that for twenty years.

I have missed you DR derBrucer. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank-you; between the drugs and the multi-liters of cranberry juice, this woman's plague is waning.

Could it be something really rare like the withdrawn live version of YAGM,CB?
