Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a little pit and a little pat with an emphasis on the latter, and now it is time for you to post until the pit-a-pat cows come home.

I remember seeing "Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?" when I was a kid and liking it...but I only saw it once and haven't seen it since.

The airline talking about charging for using the toilet is

Ryan Air

They are a Dublin (Ireland) based, very, very low fare airline. They don't even operate in the U.S. Paying to use a toilet is more widespread in Europe so people are used to the idea. It has caused some concern but the owner of Ryan Air has mentioned this possibility before. He may go through with it at some point but it won't change the face of airline travel. I've flown Ryan Air. Believe me, paying to use the toilet is the least of your worries.

Spirit Airlines is the only airline charging for carry-on luggage. The other airlines have not yet begun to charge as well.

"David Castelveter, a spokesman at Air Transport Association, which represents the leading U.S. airlines, said he's not aware of any ATA members charging for carry-on luggage."

DR GEORGE those trailers are available on a lot of Drive In DVD's very cheaply - I recognized a couple of sequences from the Roger Corman Best of the B's set I just got for review.

The lobby is also adorned with 50's sci fi posters, and the refreshment area is decked out like a movie theater refreshment stand, it's very nice and appropriate, and there seemed to be plenty of volunteers to do everything. It's a very nice set up.

Elizabeth Taylor is engaged - and yesterday's posts from MR BK reminded me of this story, which I have related before -

Elizabeth Taylor had just won the Academy Award for Butterfield 8 and was being flooded with movie offers...including one million dollars for CLEOPATRA. A group of Hollywood types was sitting at a table in Vegas saying what they would offer her to be in a movie - since it was a foregone conclusion that it would make money.

One man said he would offer $500,000 - another said he would offer $500,000 plus a percentage of the gross. Buddy Hackett said that he would offer her $1000. The others at the table expressed astonishment and Hackett replied:

"I would offer her $1000. She would say 'Kiss my ass' - and that's all I wanted anyway."

Morning, all.

TOD:

Films: "Babette's Feast," "Tampopo" (the "noodle" western), and at the top of the list, "Big Night." There have been numerous food scenes from Anita Morris covered in whipped cream in "The Happy Hooker" to "Monty Python's Meaning of Life" in which the guy eats so much he explodes. I also loved the scene in "GoodFellas" where Paul Sorvino cuts the garlic with a razor.

On TV, I loved "The Twilight Zone" episode "To Serve Mankind." And though I never saw it, I loved Cole Porter's shopping list song in "Come to the Supermarket in Old Peking" in "Aladdin."

I'm sure I'm forgetting tons of them, but there was a culinary group in town that, as a fund-raiser, staged what they called "Meals on Reels," in which scenes from foodie films were shown in between courses. The event died after the second or third year beccause they had exhausted the supply.

For some reason, I was very fond of WHO IS KILLING THE GREAT CHEFS OF EUROPE. I saw it and loved it when it first opened back in the 70's, then would watch its incessant appearances on cable. But when I caught it for the first time in years last fall, my reaction was "Meh..."

Some things should never be revisited. Unfortunately, we never know which things until it's too late...

Good morning!

Another chilly morning, but with highs expected to get to the mid-70s today, I may be able to wear shorts when I go to lunch. I'd like that.

Good morning, all! I slept late again and I am blaming it on the Nyquil.

Last night's peculiar dream had something to do with summer theatre or a summer music camp, lots of students and a lot of campus My only real memory of the thing is a search for something that was missing from a desk and a line for buses.

DR JMK, I'm sorry to read about your Aunt Betty.

And so to work. I have lots of things to accomplish around the apartment today.

I remember being slightly disappointed by WHO IS KILLING THE GREAT CHEFS OF EUROPE? I expected it to be more of a mystery, and I just found it unsatisfying. But I only saw it once, and I wouldn't mind seeing it again some time.

The UPS truck just drove right past my house, so I'm assuming that no new review material will be forthcoming today. I'll likely go ahead and do SUMMER HOURS on Blu-ray. I've already done it on DVD, so it will be an easy afternoon of work.

Matt H. · « **Reply #28 on:** April 12, 2010, 06:49:08 AM »

With no new episodes of CHUCK or LAW & ORDER tonight, this will free up two hours of time this week. I still do have new episodes of '24' and CASTLE on network TV plus NURSE JACKIE and DAMAGES on cable.

And Wil Wheaton returns to THE BIG BANG THEORY tonight, and he and Sheldon were so hilarious the last time he was on that I'll likely record that, too.
