BK,

I, too, really liked A SERIOUS MAN. In fact, I think it was the best movie of 2009.

On the other hand, RAISING ARIZONA is one of my least favorite Coen Brothers films, probably because I'm not a fan of Nicholas Cage or that kind of "Yahoo" kind of comedy.

The brothers do run hot & cold. I'm a big fan of FARGO, MILLER'S CROSSING, BLOOD SIMPLE and BURN AFTER READING.

The most of others, including NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, I'd rate a B or B+. LADYKILLERS and RAISING ARIZONA get a C-.

Frankly, I think they're making a big mistake remaking TRUE GRIT. You never remake a classic...only a flop.

Jeff Bridges is perfect casting for the role of Rooster, but no matter how wonderful he might be in the part, he's always going to be compared to the memory of the original, and he is not John Wayne.

As for the Topic of the Day...

"Love Is Here To Stay" - There have been a couple of stories of just how this song was written, and it would be nice - and I'm pretty sure quite bittersweet - to know the real one.

What a great TOD question.

There are so many that I love, but I wonder how exciting it would be to watch. I am sure none of them were created in the fashion of all those MGM composer biography musical. e.g. The genesis of the title song from Three Little Words

I hope our Dear Larry doesn't try to find us on 18th Street since we won't be there!

They're are supposed to be boarding a flight shortly. Alas, there may be some more storms to deal with today, so... We shall see.

I have a flying outfit. So I won't set the metal detector off.

I stopped wearing a belt, aside from that I've never had a problem with clothes. I even had a pair of jeans with tons of pockets that zipped & didn't set off alarms. Those pockets were very convenient, especially for my license or passport.

TCB, will I still have to take off a belt?

Yesterday I didn't care for a photo posted on FB. I thought by clicking on "hide" I wouldn't have to look at it. Instead it hid all the postings from my FB friend. Now I can't figure out how to un-hide this person.

I thought there was a way to remove unwanted postings.

Remember the good old days, when FB meant Forbidden Broadway?

DR Jane - Scroll down to the bottom of your FB homepage. You should see "Edit Options" - click on that. A box will pop up listing the people you've "hidden". Just click the "x" next to the name to "un-hide" that person.

As for hiding individual pics, well... That's not really possible. You can hide certain applications, as well as un-Tag yourself, but hiding an individual pic is not an option. You can choose to "Hide" "Photos", I believe, but then you'd be hiding everyone's Photos in your News Feed.

Jane · « **Reply #44 on:** May 15, 2010, 09:27:46 AM »

Thanks Jose. Of course I looked everywhere, except the bottom of my home page.

When I was searching for a way to return the person's posts I noticed the photo was gone. She is from Rome & I couldn't read all the comments, maybe someone suggested it be removed. From what I could tell the initial responses were funny.

If you were to post hello on my personal wall, can I remove that?

Sam · « **Reply #45 on:** May 15, 2010, 09:37:08 AM »

Good morning everyone.

Hope the day is beautiful and pleasant for us all.

Overcast here, but the plants seem to love it. Starting to flower.

Sorry to miss bk's event today. The rooms in town went from 89 a night to 139 in Burbank, and 115 to 166 in Studio City, I can't afford those summer rates. The cheaper motels are filled with drugs etc. No thanks to that. My driving into town on the weekends are out. I'm putting 600 miles on the car every week. That's enough for me. Next friday night I'm trying to sleep in Northridge so I can go to the booksigning on Saturday.

Other than that, I need to concentrate on things here at my new home. Cleaning out the 10 x 10 storage locker before the 30th, putting all the stuff for the garage sale in July in the 5 x 5 storage locker, and I have not dusted or cleaned the house since I moved in. I have not had time.

Sam · « **Reply #47 on:** May 15, 2010, 09:51:54 AM »

The plan was to be home by 5:30 during the week, listen to one cd, then watch one movie before sleep at 10:00. I have not managed to do that once yet. The weekends were supposed to be filled with long walks and to lose 40 lbs, neither of those have happened either.

And reading, what happened to my reading ? I do get 2 hours of listening to NPR radio in everyday during the drive in the car so that is good.

I just don't know where the rest of my time disappears to.

Sam · « **Reply #48 on:** May 15, 2010, 09:56:19 AM »

I did pick up the 2 new cd releases from bk at the post office yesterday, so that will be a nice treat for the weekend. It's almost 10AM, so I guess I can turn up the music.

Then off to the storage locker and some yard work. Or as my neighbor says, looks like I'm nesting.

Jane · « **Reply #49 on:** May 15, 2010, 09:57:48 AM »

DR Sam I hope soon you will be able to manage the long walks & lose the weight. Vibes to you!!

Sam · « **Reply #50 on:** May 15, 2010, 10:01:42 AM »

Great posts the last 2 days. This computer is getting slower and slower. I'm getting older and slower too.

Hugs.

Till later. Vibes, vibes, and more vibes.

Sam · « **Reply #51 on:** May 15, 2010, 10:02:50 AM »

Thank you Jane. In my 20's I only weighed 106 at the most.

Sam · « **Reply #52 on:** May 15, 2010, 10:10:50 AM »

Flying outfit. I'd go with sweats (although I think they call them jogging or workout clothes now), some of them are quite hip these days (and expensive). That's what I bought my kid when she went to NY and London.

I watched the rest of Royal Wedding the other night, there was a short scene of the audience during a broadway show where all the women were wearing furs and ball gowns.

You're welcome, Jane.

And, yes, you can remove individual posts from your Wall.

Hi Jose. How's NY.

Apparently, UPS tried to make a delivery here this morning, but since the sender did not put an apartment number on the label, they did not "fully" attempt the delivery. Hmmm... However, the UPS store did call me a little while ago to inform me of the delivery attempt, as well as to ask what my apartment number is. They said they will try to delivery it (again) this afternoon. -Oh, the delivery is from a company I work with in Memphis, so it could be ribs or candy or both!

I stayed up way too late last night, and got up way too early this morning.

I am awak, but barely, and I must mow the lawn.

I am quite thrilled and excited about BK and David's new movie script!
