STAY HEALTHY VIBES FOR DR TCB!!!

bk, hope your schedule allows you some rest at some point.

And I know you won't do it, but some of us have been saying for a long time, "Bag the long musical." The drama with the creative staff just doesn't seem to be worth it.

...Or the writing team needs to start taking you to Spago's and/or Patina for lunch and/or dinner at once and/or twice a week...

And/or...

bk - I forget - Are you already lined to be the director of the musical should it receive a "first class" production? Or is that a detail you can't discuss at this point?

Miss Dixie Bell always has a hard time adjusting to the time change. She is just so used to a routine time on everything that today, and most likely for the next two weeks, she's been 'asking' for things an hour early. . .her morning walk, her evening play hour, her nightly treat. . .right now, she's fast asleep as if it were bedtime.

After reading BK's notes, I realized that I hadn't seen RADIO DAYS in ages, and it is one of the latter Woody Allen films that I truly enjoy, so I added it to my Netflix queue. I also added SWEET AND LOWDOWN since I have never seen it.

I missed out on Friday's media check, but, I have been sharing movies with Mum this week, forcing her to watch THE PROPOSAL, which I knew she would like more than me (I had already seen it) and SEX AND THE SINGLE GIRL, which she really, really liked. I am on a Natalie Wood kick right now, reading two biographies and working through some of the Natalie Wood boxed set. I'd like to get to THE GREAT RACE, which was very problematic for Natalie Wood (3rd choice as female lead, disagreements with Blake Edwards, suicide attempt following completion) but, it is a rather l-o-n-g film. . .
I picked up THIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED from the local library and should get it to tomorrow night.

I've been watching the dvd-rs of this week's FLASHFORWARD and SUPERNATURAL.
I've been reading the novel FLASHFORWARD, which is quite intriguing in its own way. I've also been reading the Halloween-appropriate THE POE SHADOW, which I like almost as much as Matthew Pearl's next novel, THE LAST DICKENS.

I have been listening to Joe Nichol's new cd, Old Things New all week, with breaks to listen to Liz Callaway's and Kate Baldwin's recent cds.

There was a nice interview with Andy Williams this morning on NPR's Weekend Edition:

Right now, I'm watching "Forbidden Planet" on TCM hi-def. The picture looks great!

I have it on HD-DVD, and it does indeed look super. This one hasn't been ported over to Blu-ray yet, but it should please folks once it gets released on Blu-ray.

Matt H. · « **Reply #166 on:** November 01, 2009, 07:31:09 PM »

I saw a bit of Hitchcock's SHADOW OF A DOUBT on TCM-HD, and it looked sensational!

The Hitchcock films can't come out fast enough in high definition to suit me!

For those lucky enough to have it - is the programming on TCM HD the same as on TCM regular?

Yes.

Anyone remember The Paul Lynde Halloween Special with Witchiepoo and The Wicked Witch Of The West, KISS and Pinkie Tuscadafro?

I got the rest of THE NATIONAL PARKS watched which included the last 45 minutes of the last episode and an hour long documentary bonus feature on disc six.

Enjoyed the miniseries despite its repetitions, but I'll be glad to (hopefully) start on ZORRO tomorrow. (If it comes in the mail, that is; otherwise, I'll work on MONSTERS, INC.)

Michael · « **Reply #171 on:** November 01, 2009, 07:38:41 PM »

Caught up on Saturday and Sunday postyings. Will do Thursday and Friday tomorrow.

Then, I started watching shows from this past week still on the DVR. I began with UGLY BETTY.

It was an enjoyable episode, but once again, the show keeps falling back on old Betty rivalries: in this case, with Marc. She has seen him through so many troubling times in his life, and yet NOW he realizes she's a good person and a real friend. How many more times does she have to prove herself to him? The show's in its fourth year; it's time he got a clue.

Matt H. · « **Reply #173 on:** November 01, 2009, 07:42:21 PM »

Next I watched this week's LAW & ORDER. A good case that held my attention completely. In a desperate bid to hold viewers after all these years, they've started throwing in tidbits of information about the personal lives of their characters. This is NOT the LAW & ORDER of old.

DR George - SPOILER WARNING?

Matt H. · « **Reply #175 on:** November 01, 2009, 07:43:28 PM »

Next I watched this week's THE OFFICE. Another hilarious outing. I was rolling with some of Andy's shenanigans, and Michael's troubles with the koi pond were also very funny.

Matt H. · « **Reply #176 on:** November 01, 2009, 07:45:04 PM »

I next watched MONK from Friday night. Not much of a case; I guess they were hoping seeing the fastidious Monk warm to a dog would make the episode interesting. It was OK, but I'd rather have had a riveting mystery for him to solve.

OK... I have to correct the spelling on this one: Tuscadero. -Although, I do like "Tuscadafro" too.

Matt H. · « **Reply #178 on:** November 01, 2009, 07:46:01 PM »

And then I watched tonight's episode of DEXTER. Excellent stuff especially Dexter interacting with John Lithgow's Trinity Killer. Can't wait to see where this goes.

As a matter of fact, I believe DR JRand posted a clip from that very same Halloween special yesterday.
