Yesterday we went with another couple & saw Harry Potter.  Keith, who has not followed the books, enjoyed it the least.  The rest of us enjoyed it much more.  I would not agree with people who think it is a great movie, nor did I find it as entertaining as some of the earlier ones.  I still enjoyed it, it was Harry Potter & pretty much what I expected.  I liked Michael Gambon & think Alan Rickman is perfect as Snape.  I find the girl who plays Ginny to be greatly lacking.  Keith even asked about her.  I have a suspicion the director should be spending more time with her, or his vision of Ginny & mine are different.

Now I must hop off-line and get some writing done. Then, it's back down to check out the rest of the bonus features on TOWERING INFERNO and then catch up with today's soaps.

With all the postings about Patrick Cassidy yesterday

Unless I missed it, did no one pick up on the lady with PC in the 42nd Street photo was his mother?

I think he is very brave to let his hair go gray.

Yes, Patrick proudly said in many interviews that he and Shirley are the only mother/son team to ever perform together on Broadway. But Mark, being the anal-retentive journalist that he is, did some research and found that George M. Cohan and his mother also performed together on Broadway a bazillion years ago.

I don't know if Patrick's grey hair has anything to do with bravery. I believe he's always colored it based on what he believed would get him the most work. And the producers on the "Ruby" team probably thought that his given his character (a responsible car salesman), the grey hair was most appropriate. The storyline hinted he may go back to being a pop star, in which case, I wouldn't be surprised if a hair-color change was written into the script.

So, did anyone here actually watch "Ruby & the Rockets" last night?


I don't know if it counts, but didn't Judy Garland occasionally march out the kids during her "Liza"/"Joey, Joey, Joey"/"Lorna" medley?

Well, they sat in the audience for those songs, but on the Christmas show, they each performed solo and with their mom.

And I just reviewed the new Infinity re-release of Volume 1 of the Judy Garland Show, where the third episode they taped was Liza's "national debut", and she of course sang with Judy on that one.

ASK BK DAY:

We have all read and heard stories about Danny Bonaduce's childhood; hell we have heard stories about his adult life too.  What was Danny like on THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY?  Any truth to the stories that as a kid he never bathed or showered?

Morning, all.

It's supposed to be a hot and muggy day here in Manhattan. We are meeting a friend for lunch at

Maoz

an international "quick service" vegetarian establishment on Park Avenue South between 16th and 17th Streets (technically it's 38 Union Square East and to confuse things even more at 14th Street Park Avenue South turns back into the original street name 4th Avenue).

I've never been there but our friend is having health issues and prefers to eat veggie when possible so we will try it out with her.

The flagship sandwich is described thusly:

The famous Maoz sandwich is home baked pita bread filled with crispy, handmade Falafel balls which are made from chickpeas, a vitamin rich legume, packed with plenty of proteins, minerals and vitamin B. The chickpeas are blended daily with fresh spices and vegetables and then fried in zero trans-fat Canola oil.


Couldn't I just have a salad?

Oh, and I'm up to a refrain of If I Had A Hammer, I'd hammer in the morning...

Debbie Reynolds moved in next door?

Actually, Debbie Reynolds is about twenty miles from me right now, doing a show or two, or three in Zelionopole, PA. . .

I would love to see Debbie Reynolds perform live.  She appeared at one of the casinos up north a couple of years ago; and I could not find one person who would go see her.

Good morning/afternoon all.  I am staying home today and spending the day in bed.  Last night I got hit by a horrible stomach bug...either food poisoning or illness, not sure which.  Either way, it resulted in some miserable hours in the bathroom and today I feel as though every inch of my lower body has been pummeled.  I'm really hoping to be back on my feet by the time I have to get DS Toby from daycare. 


I did NOT cook dinner for Ann yesterday!

DR Michael S. I suggest you begin carrying Benadryl with you just in case you have another reaction.  I buy the Tylenol PM caplets & cut a few in half, reducing the dosage & the chance I’ll fall asleep when I don’t want to.


My doctor told me not to take Tylenol PM.  He said if I needed to sleep, I should use straight Benadryl - but avoid Tylenol.

DR TCB I agree not to take Tylenol PM as a sleeping pill, this is the only way I know how to get half a dose if I have a food allergy, or any other allergic reaction.  Unless Michael S. takes a lot of Tylenol half a PM caplet won't be a problem on the rare occasion.

I saw Debbie Reynolds live many years ago when she did a show at our Benedum Center with Donald O'Connor.  That was a great evening! 
Debbie just finished a New York City engagement, which I have listened to. . .she's a naughty old broad now, and I do mean naughty.  I'm gonna try to go see Ms. Reynolds on Sunday, the venue looks marvelous.  But, from Cafe Carlyle to The Strand is quite a leap. . .

"mom's" jeans!  I find that insulting.  I also have to wonder why the heck they want him to wear good jeans to play baseball.  I think wearing old jeans was a wise decision, and he seems to be wearing a top over the waist.  I can't believe I'm defending Obama-lol.

It was, arguably, the weakest of the books - a necssary set-up for "Ghostly Hallows"; it has the highest exposition -to-action ratio of any of the books.
