I forgot to mention that whilst banking yesterday I saw Eileen Brennan in the bank. She looks like she's about ninety, but I'd guess she's in her 70s.

Back from driving around in the motor car and lunch at the Kansas City Barbecue.

RIFF - Christopher Walken

And never once did he yell MORE COW BELL!!

Not much of a mystery if you go to one particular web site. They seem to think it is all pretty cut and dried. It is amazing that things can be said on the internet about people who are still living, without any solid evidence to back it up.

Terrible, shocking - most inappropriate.

You forgot the link.

Wonder what made MR BK think of that?

Carroll Baker was awarded the Medal of Honor from the National Arts Club on June 15. I bet that was some party!

We just had our Father's Day dinner - baked salmon, corn on the cob, green beans - yum! Rob is home to go to church in Lima with us tomorrow.

One summer working in a salmon processing plant (and almost dying from fish poisoning) has robbed me of any interest in eating salmon.

There wasn't any mail, for us anyway. We should have received a NetFlix & 2 cards.

Early call tomorrow - 'night!

Thanks for the link, DR TCB. Most informative.

And it least it wasn't a sushi factory, or your stage career would have been curtailed as well.

Finished watching something called Revolutionary Road.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #166 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:04:31 PM »

I can't make a joke that DR TCB can't make funnier.

I think I saw Revolutionary Road....sort of a 50's thing with Leo and Kate....not my favorite movie, but I thought it was interesting.

I had a pretty enjoyable evening of viewing though I didn't get as many things watched as I had hoped.

Her last couple of appearances on WILL & GRACE made her look really ancient, too, and that show's been off the air several years now.

I began by rewatching LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD, this time on Blu-ray. Of course, it's another mostly exquisite Criterion black and white high definition release. Some stunning imagery.

At one point, though, my eyes began to get a little heavy, and I had to stop it for a about 15 minutes to take a little nap.

Matt H. · « **Reply #170 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:12:02 PM »

Next I watched one of the movies I had on the DVR - A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. I had never seen this all the way through, and I loved about 98% of it. Some of Raymond Massey's pontificating during the trial was a trial itself to sit through. Otherwise, it was an ingenious romantic fantasy.

Matt H. · « **Reply #171 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:13:08 PM »

I really didn't have time for anything else tonight other than looking back at Neil Patrick Harris' closing number on the Tony Awards a couple of times. (It's still on the DVR.)

Matt H. · « **Reply #172 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:15:01 PM »

Tomorrow my work project will be the last of the Criterion titles for June: MY DINNER WITH ANDRE. I haven't seen this movie in a long, long time so it's going to be a fun revisit even though it's a work disc.

And, of course, my first Criterion work project for July came in today, but I won't get to it until probably next weekend. (FOR ALL MANKIND)

I don't think she ever fully recovered from the car accident (or was it being hit by a car) while she was working on the tv series of Private Benjamin

Good Evening!

I'm back from seeing Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe. I think the only comments and observations I shall make about it are:

-I don't think bk would like this "play with music".
-I'm pretty sure DR FJL would like this "play with music".
-If DR Ginny and her DH Richard had been sitting in the front row, both of them probably would have been chosen to be "saved". And possibly nuzzled by Mr. de Shields.
-The running time listed in the program was "1 hour and 30 minutes with no intermission". We left the theatre at 9:50.
-Andre de Shields is a brave, and, well, fearless actor. And I'm guessing he really does feel comfortable on stage in front of an audience wearing next to nothing.
-I'm wondering if it's "legal" to pick someone out of the audience, and then pull them on stage with you... Then pull them down on to the stage with you... While you're wearing a pair of "fashionable" briefs.

'Nuff said for now.

In other news...

It was great seeing my friend, Shawn, again. He's treating himself to a two-week vacation in Europe in July - it's his 40th birthday gift to himself. He works for a company that books a lot of business with the Orient Express properties, and he was able to call in some favors. He's not getting the trip for free, but he did manage to work out a wonderful itinerary at quite a good rate. Color me jealous.

*And he wasn't exactly sure what to make of the show either.

Matt H. · « **Reply #177 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:38:58 PM »

I'm finished with my evening internet surf, so I'm heading downstairs to bed.

Good night!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #178 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:41:13 PM »

We ended up having a pre-show dinner at Metro Marché in the Port Authority Bus Terminal. It really is a semi-hidden gem - basically a true diamond in the rough that is the Port Authority. I had a very fresh mesclun salad and their sirloin burger, and Shawn had their special vegetable soup with pesto, and their penne entrée. I probably would have sampled a glass of something from their well assembled wine list, but I didn't want to spend the first part of the show fighting the "drowsies". *Although, I ended up with a case of the "drowsies" anyway. :-]
