From the front page of today's New York Times: Twitter and Religion: the problems with worshipping God in fewer than than 140 characters

Quote
Things went smoothly for the first hour of the Twitter experiment at Trinity Church in Manhattan on Good Friday in April.

While hundreds of worshipers watched the traditional dramatization of the Crucifixion from pews in the church, one of New York’s oldest, thousands more around the world followed along on smartphones and computers as a staff member tweeted short bursts of dialogue and setting (“Darkness and earthquake,” “Crucify him!”).

The trouble began in the second hour.

Twitter’s interactivity — its essence — made it easy for an anonymous text-messager to insert an unscripted character into the Passion play: a Roman guard who breezily claimed, “I’ve got dibs on his robe.” When another texter introduced a rogue Mary Magdalene, the intrusion only confirmed the obvious: Twitter’s trademark limit of 140 characters per message is no bar against crudity.

After listening to the commentary (it's pieced together with comments from both Polanski and Deneuve), I watched the other bonus features.

There are two trailers (that give too much away).

There was a making-of documentary made fairly recently with the producers and the director, the art director, and the cinematographer talking about the problems they faced making the movie for a small British company which before had made only soft porn flicks and having to work on such a small budget (which Polanski exceded).

And then there was a really interesting 1965 TV excerpt showing Polanski directing on the set (he played the parts for the actors and asked them to mimic him).

Good, interesting stuff.

In the time I had left, I skimmed through Wednesday's episode of ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Kyle and Fish are still dancing around each other now (and Fish is trying to sublimate his homosexual tendencies by dating Layla, the character/actress who literally was the reason I stopped watching this show a couple of years ago. I am SO sorry she's still around, though, of course, we know she's in for a pile of hurt if she falls for Fish.)

Tonight I plan to watch another POIROT movie: FIVE LITTLE PIGS and then I'll likely watch BURN AFTER READING to get it off the DVR. If there's time left, I may watch another NCIS episode.

Jose, who knows - your kindness that day may have helped the young man towards pursuing his path, either directly or subliminally.

:)

At various times throughout my "career" - and even before my "career" - I've been the fortunate beneficiary of a kind word, a gentle nudge, and an unexpected bit of kindness and generosity from both people I've known and admired as well some somewhat total strangers.  There's really nothing else do except to keep it going, keep passing it on, keep paying it forward.

Oh, sure! Go on! Do minimize the effects of your actions!  ;)

Shame on you, DR Jose, for even knowing who Ken Ryker and Rex Chandler are.

When I'm worried
And cannot sleep
I count my dressings
Instead of sheep
And I fall asleep

Jose is kind ??!!!

That's one of the most redundant remarks I've ever read! :D :D

Actually, I think KIND should be his last name!


Wouldn't that make him Streisand's sister?

Have finished dealing with the merde although I'm sure there will be some residual merde for a while.  Not worth talking about, but sure put a damper on what was looking to be a beautiful Sunday.  Guess I'll go try and eat something and maybe watch a motion picture to take my mind off the horrid morning.

We just finished the leftovers from yesterday's All-American Independence Day meal - cashew chicken from Dragon Express.

thanks Jane.  I found out today that since I bought my paint right before it went on sale that I can take my receipts in and they will give me the $5 off per gallon that they are offering now.  the sale goes trhough tomorrow, so I'm thinking about choosing a color for the livingroom tomorrow and buying the paint.   Once I have the paint I will do the work.

But tonight is The Next Food Network Star... and watering the yard. 

Not sure whey I'll get to do that.  Boo has firmly planted herself on my lap.  She doesn't like it when I leave for so long.

I like the store's sale policy.  It is very annoying to find your purchases on sale shortly after purchasing them.

Just watching some YouTube clips.  Did anyone in the film WEST SIDE STORY actually sing their own songs, besides Russ Tambyln and Tucker Smith?

Nope.  They only sang Bernstein's songs.
