Just heard that the Porters and Cleaners union reached an agreement with the Broadway League last night, thereby averting the strike that was temporarily planned for the new year.

I had a slightly scratch throat today so I chose to stay home, just in case. May take some naps, for sure, and catch up on some TV watching.

If I had seen that Santa when I was a child, I would have hidden under my bed on Christmas Eve for fear he would come into my house.

Love the Sherlock pic!!!

Yes, we are having snow predicted for us tomorrow as well.....time will tell. We were very busy store wise this morning, but now we are enjoying our early afternoon lull.

$20 to see AVATAR in 3D? Not me, but I welcome all comments from them that do.

Yes DR MBARNUM the tin soldier was quite handsome, but why was he choreographed to walk and swing his arms in unison, people usually march and walk opposite leg and arm....even tin soldiers....except for this guy who suddenly out of the blue declared his love for the singing doll.

It was the Jack In the Box that disturbed me most.

Back from the long jog - I only thought I was going to do two miles but it was really pretty and warm out so I went the distance.

Ohmigod! The late Dominick Dunne has been outed by one of his five children as a bisexual. Whodathunk it?

I thought he was already out. SHows what *I* know.

AVATAR is a Fox film, so if it comes out on Blu-ray, I'll be reviewing it. That's good enough for me.

It has rained most of the afternoon. Thankfully, I was able to get into and out of the grocery store before the rain started. Unlike the last three weeks, the store was jammed packed, but the self-check lanes were not being used, so I got right out once I was finished shopping.

No snow, but we did have some sleet earlier today. It is VERY cold out.

I watched two episodes of THE MENTALIST. The one from the first season set was the episode where Patrick came into conflict with a professional psychic. The mystery was a good one, but the encounters with the psychic were left with dangling plot points and were unsatisfying (unless they plan to bring her back as a recurring nemesis for Patrick).

Matt H. · « **Reply #139 on:** December 18, 2009, 01:17:01 PM »

Last night's new episode on CBS had some really interesting Patrick backstory as a young scam artist in training with his father. Very interesting and ultimately very sad. The mystery was very good, too. The twist has been used before on other shows, but I was still taken by surprise once the murderer was revealed.

Next I watched THE HOLLYWOOD REVUE OF 1929. This Warner Archive release is the best I've ever seen the movie look. Of course, it's 80 years old, and they didn't do anything to clean it up picture or sound-wise. Still, all of the Technicolor sequences are intact, and it's a bit sharper than the homemade DVD I made from TCM, so it went into the garbage.

Matt H. · « **Reply #141 on:** December 18, 2009, 01:19:33 PM »

Next I skimmed through OLTL and ATWT. Nothing of interest on either one of them.

Matt H. · « **Reply #142 on:** December 18, 2009, 01:21:27 PM »

I ended my afternoon watching the BIOGRAPHY episode on George Reeves which was rerun this afternoon. Good show with lots of interviews. I still can't believe Jack Larson is firmly convinced that George committed suicide. I'd say with the evidence uncovered that this is the least likely scenario.

Matt H. · « **Reply #143 on:** December 18, 2009, 01:22:56 PM »

No new review discs came in the mail today, so looks like my day off will continue right on into tomorrow.

I did get THE HANGOVER and INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, both on Blu-ray, today, so I may watch one of them tonight since there is nothing on TV to hold my interest.

Back from many errands and whatnot - my Christmas cards will be ready in about an hour, so that's good.

bk · « **Reply #145 on:** December 18, 2009, 01:42:14 PM »

Wow, just got a call and the cards are ready now - twenty minutes later. Had I known that I would have just hung out at Bookstar - the parking and traffic is outrageous down there right now, so I'm walkin'.

Matt H. · « **Reply #146 on:** December 18, 2009, 02:04:39 PM »

Just a note to those who occasionally shop at the wbshop for the Warner Archive releases. They're running a buy 5 for $55 special right now on 410 titles. That also includes free 2 day air shipping.

The sale, however, ends tomorrow.

Matt H. · « **Reply #147 on:** December 18, 2009, 02:06:12 PM »

I'm going to tinker with the computer a little bit and then head downstairs to watch another MENTALIST episode (which will finish disc 2) and then play, most likely, INGLORIOUS BASTERDS. I suspect that's going to be one of the Best Picture Oscar nominees this year (since they have 10 slots to fill).

WBBL.

bk · « **Reply #148 on:** December 18, 2009, 02:17:23 PM »

Ten slots is ridiculous and takes all meaning out of the Best Picture category.

bk · « **Reply #149 on:** December 18, 2009, 02:17:43 PM »

Picked up my cards and now must read the new first five scenes of the long musical.
