Favorite asylum movie: THE SNAKE PIT

though the asylum sequences in THE NUN'S STORY are actually my favorite of all time.

I saw THE THIRD DAY at a drive-in when it came out and never again since. I can't remember anything about it at all except George Peppard was the star.

I also have no real memory of THE THIRD DAY, though I did see it when it first came out.

Another amnesia movie that I like is SHATTERED w/Tom Berenger.

I'm up. I guess the gas company is coming closer to noon than seven, which is good since I was up till two watching three Adam 12 episodes. It's quite addictive. No real Valley locations yet, but wonderful shots of Venice and Hollywood (right at Franklin near Cahuenga, which looks exactly the same today.

I've had one more e-mail about the skipping problem at King. Depending on how many arrive today, I've informed the pressing plant that they'll have to just press up replacement discs and have them ready to deliver to me.

Jane, I'm glad you're trying LARK RISE TO CANDLEFORD. I really like this series, but I don't know of anyone else who's heard of it.

We enjoy the English series & trade off recommendations with friends. They suggested this one & the beloved DOC MARTIN. We gave them FOYLE'S WAR, CRANFORD, NORTH & SOUTH, and WIVES & DAUGHTERS.

Loved "Foyle's War." Saw "Cranford," but I'm going to wait on the Elisabeth Gaskell adaptions until I've read the books -- after I finish the last five or six Trollope novels.

DR elmore raved about Cranford so we had to watch it, and then watch the other two shows available on NetFlix. I haven't read any of Elisabeth Gaskell's books & do hope to rectify that in the near future.

I see from BK's last post last night that MBarnum and I are once again "and the rest." If even that.

Maybe you will get better billing in the second season.

Perhaps KING will arrive at my house today and I can check for skipping. But of course I won't know until almost 7 pm -being at work and all.

Striking a match doesn't strike a chord as far as movies go, DR JMK.

DR Jose, We don’t have a Bed Bath & Beyond. I recently read a Best Buy will be coming our way soon. This is a big deal & wish it were already here. Linens & Things was exciting until it went out of business. I was thrilled when a Tuesday Mornings was about to open, until it opened. We might get the stores here but they aren’t always stocked as well as other locations.

I can find Snuggies at other stores here. Keith read the reviews comparing the Snuggie & Splanket and said he wants the Splanket. It is larger & according to all the reviews I read softer & plusher. I personally fear he will be too warm with plusher. I agree with Edi, the Splanket guy is cute.

I’m sure our snow dog does not want a Snuggie unless it comes with air conditioning for the summer.

Agnes of God is an "almost" asylum film

TOD: In addition to many of the films already cited by our astute Hainsies/Kimlets, I also enjoy the "Monty Python" genre of madness in films such as "Life of Brian" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".

My absolute favorite, though, is "The Meaning of Life."

I also enjoy the Terry Gilliam films "Brazil" and "Time Bandits".

Just spoke with Nick Redman - his copy plays fine, so that's good. And the test copy that the plant kept also plays fine. So, hoping it's really intermittent and not a huge deal.

DerBrucer, I wish I could do that. He would be very well behaved.

In fact, with the two or three I played, Nick's, the plant copy, it's now an even split between good and problem copies - I've only really heard from six people thus far.

Topic of the Day:

Amnesia films: "Three Faces of Eve" and "Sybil" are the only ones that I can think of that I've seen.

Oh... Are we including films about schizophrenia too?

Oops...spoO! It was a very long day, yesterday.

So, there IS a skipping problem.

I wasn't sure if it was my player or the disc.

Do we have to send the old one back, or will you just replace it?

Another Asylum movie: "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade," a.k.a. "Marat/Sade."

And "Quills," although I never saw this movie.

How could I forget "Marat/Sade"? It's one of my favorite musicals.
