I can't decide which to drool over more...

Cheyenne Jackson, or DR JMK's potential new abode!             

Just imagine Cheyenne Jackson in DR JMK's potential new abode!!

Can you afford either?

 Re Doctor Zhivago PG rating.

 I have seen the film MANY years ago so ... but I do remember a rape scene that could justify the rating!
I know it's quite lame for today's society but still ...

And it is a rape, not an abduction like in The Fantasticks!

I have the same feeling with Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Because it has famous cartoon characters, most think it's a film for children.
I just don't think it is.

I once complained -AND I was a Disney cast member then!!) that this film played continuously, on a somewhat large screen in the Character Shop down at the (then) Disney Village in Florida!
They were promoting the video then, just like they do in stores today.

In that regard, what is the legislation for showing films in stores when some of those films are PG rated because of sex and/or violence?

Nowadays, here, it seems that anything goes! It's just a product I guess! "sell, sell!"

One has to love this consumer's society!

DR Dan (The Man) - RE: Mic placement - That's quite common.  It usually ends up there - instead of on the side of the face - if the actor doesn't have to wear a hat during the show.  At least Cheyenne's mic more or less matches his hair color, and it looks like they're trying to hide it.  I remember during previews for The Color Purple a good number of the mics were "flesh-colored"... Sadly, they were more suited for Sutton's Foster's "flesh" rather than that of La Chanze.  They looked more like pimples rather than widow's-peaks.

  I wonder why?!

Fun travel vibes to TCB. 

Thank you, FJL!

The most fun I am planning this evening is going to bed.

ALONE?

(So sad to be all alone ...")

[François]

DR JMK please take your camera so that we can tour the new house.

I wonder where DR TCB is by now?

I don't even know where our camera is (or how it works, LOL), but I'll try.

TCB is no doubt ensconced in some room in the back halls of the Vatican, raising hell with some Cardinals.

Cardinals wear the colour of "hell" anyway! It fits the theme, so to speak! 

[DERBRUCER]

I'm shocked, shocked to find that BK is so easily agitated!

Great house, JMK!

But what about the POND?

[François]

BJ's being a store.

Thank you for clearing that up.         

A store for what is of course what enquiring minds want to know. 

A store for ... spending money, what else?!

[François]

Great house, JMK!

But what about the POND?

It's ... golden!

[DAW]

Just like you, DR François!!!!

MattH noted a bit ago:

I finished NORTH BY NORTHWEST when I went back down. I love that the Blu-ray was not a BD-Java disc and the movie picked right up where I stopped it last night without my having to search for chapter 38. Very convenient.

Convenient for him, perhaps, but not for us - the disk will not load at all!

I thought about a firware update, but the Manufactuer (Memorex) has removed our model (MVBD2511) from their website - they've even pulled the link to the last firmware update I downloaded in April.

Today we received the UP BD 4 Disc combo pack - I sure hope it works!

der Brucer

If not - at least Woody will have the Second Season of The Sarah Jane Adventures to amuse him.

If the Blu-ray doesn't load, you can be sure you'll be able to play the DVD at least. I had toyed with buying that Memorex player when I was looking for a second player, but I went with a Samsung instead.

[Matt H.]

I hope your malady passes by quickly, DR Jennifer.

[Matt H.]

I got a long phone call before I headed out on my errands, so I didn't have a chance to watch anything before I left. It was good to catch up with news from my friend, but I did have some TV to watch!

[Matt H.]

I watched THE MENTALIST while I ate lunch.
















This was one of the easiest mysteries to solve in the show's history. The minute the baby wandered into the room unsupervised and was smelling of a dirty diaper, I knew the nanny was the #1 suspect.

But I did love that Jane made some inroads with the Terry Kinney-character.

[Matt H.]

I also had time to squeeze in last night's 30 ROCK. Yep, another subpar outing for the show, but Cheyenne was a good sport and fit nicely as one of the saner members of the cast with so much absurdity all around him.

[Matt H.]

Then I watched CLERKS on Blu-ray. Looked the best the film can ever hope to look being in gritty 16mm. It's a very clean image, and all the tons of dialog comes through loud and clear with the DTS-HD MA sound. Such a low budget film hardly needs such an advanced 5.1 lossless soundtrack encode, but it certainly sounded clear, clean, and impressive for its age and budget.

[Matt H.]

The one new bonus that's been added to this disc was a 90-minute documentary on the making of JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK (which is also in this box set). So, I watched that, too, this afternoon. Lots of big names talking to the camera about their experiences with Kevin Smith, and lots of mugging and cursing in the camera by the actor who plays Jay.

[Matt H.]

Also had time to watch the 8-minute funeral scene which they had animated rather than shot in real life. (This was included in previous DVD releases, though it's in 1080p on this disc.) Very funny.

[Jrand74]

I may watch THE FOUNTAINHEAD later this afternoon.

[François]

I can't decide which to drool over more...

Cheyenne Jackson, or DR JMK's potential new abode!             

Just imagine Cheyenne Jackson in DR JMK's potential new abode!!

AND in the pool!

[François]

Just like you, DR François!!!!   

I am blushing!

A golden blush!

In the "here's what's wrong with the Internet department":

There's this guy, pgenre is his moniker, and he is completely obsessed with the movie Nine.  Mind you, he hasn't seen the movie Nine, but nevertheless he is completely obsessed.  Whether it's All That Chat or Broadwayworld, if a new photo shows up, or a clip, or a mention, he's there drooling about how great the film looks, etc.  Yesterday on B'wayworld some teen saw the film and posted thoughts (I LOVED it) - the typical thing.  This guy was all over her, drooling, fawning - it was really amusing.  So, I went in and made what I thought was a funny little post that he didn't actually have to see the film since he already LOVED it and thought it was the best.  I even put a smiley face.  I also said that the clip that had been posted looked cutty to me and I hoped that wasn't going to be the case (although I think we all know that's exactly what it will be).  Well, this dork came back and posted what he thought was a really scathing response - what it was, in fact, was a post filled with ageist bile about me, about old queens, about All That Chat (and for someone who's denigrating that board it's funny that he's been posting there for at least ten years - perhaps he was twelve when he began posting there).  He then did the typical Internet thing (the thing you do when you're making stuff up that has no relation to what's actually been posted - you know, putting words in people's mouths that were never spoken, the usual crap) and he went off on Nudie Musical, just because that seems to be an easy target.  He posted a link to the amazon page where, amusingly, the majority of the comments (and certainly those on the first page) are all positive.  Oops.  Anyway, here's the link - feel free to read his post (the middle of page  two - my original post is at the top of page two and my response to his offensive post is at the bottom) and join in the fun.  These people really need to be called out on their tactics.  Here's the direct link to page two:

Did a three-mile jog and will now go pick up some packages and mail.

[Matt H.]

I've got to write for a little bit and then will head back down to continue watching bonus features on CLERKS and then tune into tonight's GHOST WHISPERER and MEDIUM around 8:30 or so.

WBBL.

[Jennifer]

Thanks for the vibes.  I took the advil cold and sinus and feel much better.

Good, hope you stay that way.

I just hope that i don't give anything to the baby. Although i got sick from my other niece and the baby's father.

I feel bad for my sister's best friend (the one whose niece was very sick after halloween). My sis's friend is feeling really sick. And her  1 1/2 year old is starting to have a fever (she has a cough). She has asthma, so any little thing can send her to the hospital.

Apparently some parents at the daycare brought their kids in sick (they had fevers and coughs). I hope they are both okay!

I forgot about the rape scene in Zhivago.  If I remember it was very subtle.  I can understand your complaining  about Roger Rabbit.  Did parents also complain?

You will never know with everyone else exposing her to stuff. 
Vibes the 1 1/2 year old with asthma is ok!

Before I left at noon today I stood on the deck with Sherlock.  The sun was shining & it was beautiful out.  By the time I drove into town & parked it began to rain, fortunately just before I got out of the car so I knew to grab an umbrella.

Now it is snowing!
