Okay, someone needs to explain this to me: Last night before going to bed I was watching this perfectly horrid little TV movie on Fox Movie Classics - Love and Betrayal: The Mia Farrow Story. What is this film based on? If it's based on a biography rather than Mia's book, HOW DO THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS TRIPE? I've watched TV films with bad bad writing (The Natalie Wood Story comes to mind) but this is so tawdry and stupid and poorly written and how did Woody OR Mia stand for it. Even if it's based on her book how did she stand for it? This was made in 1995.

"Like I just swam the English channel...."

"Tell me, do they have auditions for television?"

Okay, it's based on two, not one, tabloid bio books. I think we ought to publicly flog both writer and director of this film - Karen Arthur (one of the world's worst) and Cynthia Cherbak.
I do understand they get well paid - I just want to know how desparate either of them were to put their names on this type of disgusting drivel.

The movie was based on a bio NOT by Farrow and a couple of other unauthorized bios.

If they were dealing with known facts I think they were safe, but I don't know HOW they were able to impersonate living real people without releases or permission.

OK, Dear Readers from OZ: do rub it in with all your musical outings, me, with no music to download from stupid iMac!

Anyway, I do have Leslie-Sing-Along-With-Uggams to listen to, thanks to Dear Reader Tomovoz....

Of course all I read into all that information François is that EuroDisney will still be open in mid October. Thank you for the update from our resident mouse expert. (not to be confused with dead rodent in walls expert).

Oh my!

If I had not lived and worked in the States -- and in a restaurant at some time!-- I would wonder why US visitors have such an "obsession" with ice... at any moment of day and night!

I even have a Canadian friend who chews on it!!!
I can't stand that!

Icy cold drinks! Yikes!!

One of your "pets" François? Were your referring to Leslie or Moi? People will wonder about our relationship. Sit Tomovoz sit! Walkies!

Dear Reader Tomovoz,

I've checked with that Prince so that the Parks stay in business until you visit here!

... and some say French people are not considerate!!!!

Dear Reader Komatoz.... Tom,

I leave it open to "interpretation", as we say in French!....

Tomovoz · « **Reply #131 on:** May 07, 2004, 03:46:26 PM »

Thank you François. I am now past the komotoz state (post breakfast) and about do go and shop for fruit and vegetables. Exciting life here in OZ.

quick note

Thanks to all the good wishes and vibes that I didn't think would help. Well they worked!! He miracously recovered and will be coming home on Saturday. I am so glad I went to see him. I will be back on a regular basis on Monday.

Thanks again.

Good evening all.

You know, they say that the net is a cold place, filled with dangerous people yet here at HHW I have found the warmest welcomes and the best group of friends one could wish for. Thank you one and all for the wonderful Birthday wishes.

I have been the Birthday Bandit today! I walked into work and had a balloon and card waiting for me. Then one of my best “buds” gave me a travel alarm clock to take with me on the trips. Then (because I am still on my diet) we had pastries as in apple turnovers–Yum!-- Much better than cake! I was also given a lovely yellow Calla Lilly. Not done yet! One of the ladies had made collard green soup for Christmas last year. I just LOVED it and have been asking for it at every function. Well, the lady who made that wonderful soup brought in a whole crock pot full for all of us to enjoy! Then I was taken to lunch at the Columbia and had the 1905 salad.

Then I came home to all the wonderful wishes from all of you here on the board. Who could ask or hope for anything more?

It hard to believe I only have 5 more days until I leave for Utah. Next week at this time I will be getting ready for the first Michael Ball concert. I can’t wait!

Michael, I think your post is the best Birthday news of all! I am SO happy for you!

It's public record. And if it's done from the POV of someone else whose rights they DO have - they can say "we're just telling X's story - the way he saw things."
I once worked with a man who was one of the cops in the real French Connection (the Roy Scheider character, I think). He had become a producer. We were doing a "true story" and I had qualms because we didn't have the rights of three of the five main characters. And we were saying some pretty heavy things about them. Day after day he would say to me, "When we did the French Connection we only had the rights of so and so. As long as it's through his eyes, you're fine."
Well, I didn't see it that way and I eventually left the project.

Great news Michael. Welcome home.

But isn't it funny - if they're seeing all these real people through the tabloid bio writer's eyes, why is the ONE person's name they changed the ATTORNEY - Gloria Allred (Alter, in the movie). Hmmm.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #139 on:** May 07, 2004, 04:25:36 PM »

LOL....who could play HER except Tracey Ullman?

GREAT NEWS DR MICHAEL SHAYNE.

Is it Saturday yet?

I believe we'll have good news re our DVD site - it looks like we're going to keep it open, albeit with a name change and its own domain address. We've already chosen the name, which I really like, and I'll have more details shortly.

DR Panni,

Ask me how do I feel, now that we're cosy and clinging
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bell I'd be ringing!
From the moment we kissed goodnight
That's the way I just gotta behave,
And if I were lamp I'd light
Or if I were a banner I'd wave.

Ask me how do I feel, little me with the quiet upbringing
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a gate I'd be swinging,
And if I were a watch I'd stop popping my spring
Oh and if I were a bell I'd go ding dong ding dong ding.

Ask me how do I feel from this chemistry lesson I'm learning
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bridge I'd be burning!
Well, I knew my morale would crack
From the wonderful way you looked
Boy if I were a duck I'd quack,
Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked.

Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're fondly caressing
Pal, if I were a salad, I know I'd be splashing my dressing
Ask me how to describe this whole beautiful thing,
Well if I were a bell I'd go ding, dong, ding, dong, ding!
