If you ever need any help keeping up, TCB, I'm your man.

Hmmm, are you busy this weekend, td?

Because you are crying too much, or gagging?

Ah, Jane, I believe there is a touch of cynicism in you after all!

TCB you found me out.

Danise · « **Reply #128 on:** March 24, 2004, 06:35:47 PM »

Thank you for the good wishes DR and fellow Goddess Jennifer. I hope so too. I hate having an upset tummy.

Goodnight all.

Jane · « **Reply #129 on:** March 24, 2004, 06:35:52 PM »

I must be truthful, I have been known to get teary eyed during a Hallmark commercial and TCB you didn't answer my question.

Jane · « **Reply #130 on:** March 24, 2004, 06:36:29 PM »

Good night Danise, sleep well.

The ones that get me sobbing:

Penny Serenade
Random Harvest
The Light That Failed ( There is a long epiphanal story that goes with this one that I don't have time to tell now)

DR Charles Pogue - in a bargain book store tonight, I saw a copy of "The making of Dragonheart." Do you have it? Would you like to have it?

Jane · « **Reply #135 on:** March 24, 2004, 06:57:50 PM »

Charles Pogue and anyone else interested, THE MAJOR & THE MINOR will be on TCM April 2nd.

I noticed today that my review of Benjamin Kritzer is now up on the Barnes and Noble website. I actually submitted it over a week ago. Better late than never, I guess.

Oh dear... here it is at 10pm on the East Coast and I'm only posting now.

I don't even have a good excuse other than sheer laziness

Movies that always make me cry, eh? Well I will admit I don't drop tears all that often in the face of sad movies although there is a (in)infamous family story of a very young me weeping BUCKETS when I saw the Sullivan Entertainment version of... wait for it... Anne of Green Gables. Looking back I have no idea WHY the scene where Diana's mother forbids Diana to be friends with Anne after Anne gets Diana drunk seemed so over-the-top tragic to me at the time but, hey, I was a sensitive child!

DR Maya - don't pretend you can't dance enough to be in Sweet Charity... I seem to recall you shaking quite the hoof back in the days of the "First Post Dance" (*twirl shake bootay-shake dance dance spirit fingers*)

Tomorrow morning I have to get up very early so that I can register for my next year's classes the minute the system opens at 7am. I'm graduating in the Spring '05 (barring some horrific bad vibes) and this is my one and only chance to get into the best classes available to me in my field if only because the Poli. Sci. department has a number of really really popular classes that are filled in record times (read: 30 minutes after registration opens to the first graduating students with early reg. dates).

My Tentative Schedule:

1) The Modern Family
2) Canadian Voting Patterns
3) Issues in Canadian Democracy
4) Media and Politics
5) Peacebuilding
6) Immigration and Multiculturalism
7) Religion and the Arts

Pop Music after 1945

Wish me good registration vibes! (btw - your good health vibes worked wonders and I can *feel* the cold inching away nicely... so thanks!!!

)

Well, Jane, the tears are really limitied to those Anacin commercials with the hammer pounding on the anvil inside the person's head. The Hallmark ads, however, have resulted in several severe insulin reactions.

Earlier today, Noel asked BK about "The Country's in the Very Best of Hands" from Li'l Abner. BK replied that he wouldn't change any of the lyric, inferring that it's timeless. And, of course, as long as there are two competing parties in American politics, it always will be. (And thank heaven for that!)

I've been listening to the re-issued Li'l Abner CD, and darned if some of it isn't more timely than when it was staged/filmed back in the fifties. "Oh, Happy Day!" could easily be interpreted today as a song about cloning (or genetic engineering). In fact, the whole business about turning the hillbillies into bodybuilders (and back!) is a great science fiction-y idea.

I think it's about time for a Broadway revival of Li'l Abner!

We had a reprise of our Cheese Fondue dinner from a couple of weeks ago. Gruyere melted with white wine, some kirchewasser, a little garlic rubbed in the pot, served up with good French bread. A couple of good sausages on the side, and a nice salad. Yummers.

We didn't even bother with American Yodel tonight. So, who was told that they stink even worse than the other candidates?

Jane · « **Reply #146 on:** March 24, 2004, 07:30:49 PM »

Emily good registration vibes!

S. Woody White · « **Reply #147 on:** March 24, 2004, 07:37:08 PM »

I haven't heard the London or Aussie Secret Garden, but the NYC OCR is danged good. Mandy is on his meds and doesn't lose control, Westenberg gets to be villianous, Rebecca Luker is a ghost but in great voice throughout, and John Cameron Mitchell is...well, he sure ain't Hedwig here. All in all, good performances of a good score.

By the way, on Luker's new solo disc, she sings "Wick" from the SG score with former castmate Alison Fraser. Best track on the disc, if you ask me.

Laura II · « **Reply #148 on:** March 24, 2004, 07:41:26 PM »

Jane, you are quite possibly the sweetest woman ever! You are so kind to everyone! I'm quite happy to tell you that I'm feeling happier now, and I have a feeling that the week will only get better. I think your vibes worked!

Movies that make me cry:
Hmm it all depends. I cry fairly easily. I *do* remember that I didn't cry at A Walk to Remember, and apparently all teenage girls were supposed to cry at that. I might have teared up, but it was so predictable.

I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind this evening, Dear Readers. I liked it! There's never any doubt that Charlie Kaufman did the screenplay, with its surreal points of view from within the mind of the Jim Carrey character. In terms of mindplay, it's more akin to Being John Malkovich, which I absolutely adored, than Adaptation, which, despite its incredible self-indulgence, in the end, I also liked. ESotSM offers some fun performances from the supporting cast (Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood and Tom Wilkinson) and good work from both Mr. Carrey and Kate Winslet. Despite the central plot device of selective memory elimination, the film is really a warm-hearted love story. See it!
