Summer really does feel like it's arrived three weeks early. The air is very warm and still, and it's starting to have that oppressive weight of a Southern summer.

I did watched FATAL ATTRACTION on Blu-ray this afternoon. I had forgotten several suspense scenes (the daughter taken from school and the frantic search for her resulting in an accident, for example). It's a grand thriller and seems utterly plausible when dealing with unbalanced individuals.

I had time to sample the director's audio commentary. Very interesting hearing his views on moments he thought worked or didn't work, shots he liked or would like to do over again. Good commentary.

DR George,

I did get your DVD-R put in the mail this afternoon, so look for it later this week.

Matt H. · « **Reply #96 on:** June 01, 2009, 01:34:41 PM »

I still have all of the rest of the bonus features on the disc to watch and write-up tonight, but I should still be able to fit in MEDIUM tonight. I don't really want to wait until tomorrow to watch it.

The cool-gel scarf I bought today that is supposed to keep your neck cool for four hours when you are outside doesn't work.

Laura · « **Reply #98 on:** June 01, 2009, 01:37:50 PM »

And that is the most exciting thing that has happened today.

Matt H. · « **Reply #99 on:** June 01, 2009, 01:50:42 PM »

I'm going to hop off-line now and get some writing done. Then, it's back downstairs to continue with the bonus features on FATAL ATTRACTION.

WBBL.

I've napped, made tuna salad, made a date for Wednesday breakfast with Susanna Moross Tarjan, been to the pharmacy and bank, and I have three string parts to proof. When I hand in the invoice for this score, I'm taking a week off to catch up on my Netflix discs.

JR, you will "know" when you need a firmware upgrade when your player won't play a new disc.

And congratulations to DR TCB on his huge millstone!

Thanks, DAW. It was huge, but I drank a lot of cranberry juice and I passed it.

Der B and I have had LOTS of romantic evenings. I just don't care to discuss them, thank-you.

With whom?

MBarnum · « **Reply #106 on:** June 01, 2009, 03:14:52 PM »

MattH, I wonder if you saw that the Jeff Richards film ISLAND OF THE LOST WOMEN has now been officially released on DVD.

Only $5.95 and worth every penny.

Of course you never have any romance. You are either making dates with women or with M Barnum; neither of which is going to help you get lucky!

I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong on this, but:

Wasn't the young leading man of Zabriskie Point later convicted of armed robbery and, subsequently, murdered in prison?

Yes, Druxy, I believe you're correct about Mark Heilpern ( I think that was his name) who starred in Zabriskie Point. But even that-after-the-fact tragedy still cannot make the travesty of the movie go down any better. I remember sitting in the theatre watching this in disbelief at how pointless, pretentious, and mind-numbingly stupid the movie was. And the two main actors couldn't act. It made the fifty worst films of all time book. If BK had told me he was going to watch it, I'd have tried hard to dissuade. Even Blu-ray can't help that movie. It's two hours of my life I'd like back.

His name was Mark Frechette.

The girl's name was Daria Halprin (or something like that).

Quite right. There's part of the problem. Not only couldn't they act; no one could remember their names.

Back from a good work session with the musical director - he's picking everything up very quickly.

I don't believe they ever determined the exact cause of the death of Mark Frechette. Some of his friends and family called it murder, and others thought it might have been suicide. Anyway, he was found dead in the gym at the prison with a 150 lb. barbell crushing his windpipe.

Back from dinner out. The DH had a 2 pound lobster. And onion rings. And a hot fudge brownie sundae.

I had soup and a salad.

Page four, huh? This is the way to start off June, huh? I should think a frenzy or two would be in order otherwise we'll achieve a brand new low for this board. But having watched attendance fall of this board with a lot of errant and truant people, well, shall we blame it on the economy? Facebook (I do suspect that Facebook is part of it - I've discussed this with other message board proprietors), or maybe just lack of interest after all these years. If it's the latter, it's an easy problem to remedy, oh, yes, it's an easy problem to remedy. I still find it rather fascinating that not one person has spoken of a memorable romantic evening - I think everyone went right where I said not to go - sex. I'm talking about a perfect romantic dinner, or a dance, or a walk on the beach. I'm sure each and every one of us has had that kind of experience and yet here we are on page four. It's an easy problem to remedy, however, oh, yes, it's an easy problem to remedy. And for all those who were looking for new topics, only ONE person has actually bothered to e-mail me a list of proposed topics - several of which, unfortunately, we've done more than once.
