Well, you've read the notes, the notes were expert but sans armchair, and now it is time for you to post until the armchair cows come home.

and from yesterday.

I misnamed the new Clint Eastwood movie. Somehow Hereafter just couldn't stick in my mind. I was calling it different names all day. Actually Afterlife is not such a bad name for it

Wednesday morning greetings! I slept very well last night and am now waiting for the results of yesterday's blood test. Back to cardiac rehab today

Good morning, all! I have to be at my doctor this morning for blood tests at 8:45, so I'll soon be leaving for my walk up Broadway.

After that, I have a trip to the post office and a period of time at MTI looking over the final versions of the orchestra parts for THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. And, hopefully, that's it for today!

This evening Richard and I are going to Miami University-Hamilton for the awarding of the John E. Dolibois History Prize to Dr. Allan Millett, a military historian from Ohio State University. We always enjoy the Colligan Project events.

Back from the lab, I can have some breakfast (yay!) before I head out again.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 27, 2010, 07:06:11 AM »

Sounds like everyone is having a beautiful busy day.

Wednesday is Titanic Day for myself, my sister Paula, my brother Kent, my niece Amanda, and my father.......

Jrand73 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 27, 2010, 07:07:33 AM »

Maybe my Kritzerland release will come today. I think there's one out there in the mail.

Morning, all, and the requisite "phooey!" to the armchair experts.

Back to the Future is, indeed, a great classic, and 3 an underappreciated sequel (2 was just okay, by my reckoning). Christopher Lloyd's dialogue is just first rate ("My boy, I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is sold in every corner drugstore; here in 1955, it's a little hard to come by."), and I can even forgive the mispronounciation of "gigawatts"

JMK · « **Reply #13 on:** October 27, 2010, 07:14:50 AM »

I must take umbrage at your comments about Back to the Future, at least with regard to my review. First of all, I know for a fact mine was the first detailed review on the internet. Here it is:

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Back-to-the-Future-25th-Anniversary-Trilogy-Blu-ray/9152/

Please tell me where I "begrudgingly" admit anything about the image quality, which I clearly state is the best this franchise has ever looked. How could I be scared about what I read when mine was the first review out there? I actually took a lot of heat from readers on this review on the main thread at blu-ray.com, after other (complaining) reviews appeared, and I still stand by my statements.

Hope you all "survive," DR JRand!

In doing a cursory look at the internets, the only other source besides blu-ray.com that I would ever bother "believing," AVS, also gave the films pretty much sterling reviews for image quality.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 27, 2010, 07:25:23 AM »

Sterling Reviews.

I think he is my attorney.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 27, 2010, 07:25:54 AM »

Thanks DR GINNY - when I went to a similar exhibit at the Children's Museum many years ago....I did NOT!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 27, 2010, 07:26:26 AM »

Ordered FINISHING THE HAT and EVENING PRIMROSE the DVD at Amazon - it's a Sondheim-Arama!

JMK · « **Reply #20 on:** October 27, 2010, 07:30:05 AM »

I will say it's fairly evident (to me, anyway) that that reviewer read my review before posting his.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #21 on:** October 27, 2010, 07:40:06 AM »

Well, FINISHING THE HAT was waiting for me when I got home last night. But I will not be reading this book on the train--it's a big one! Instead, I'll keep in on my night stand to peruse at bedtime.

Now to figure out how to get Mr. Sondheim to autograph it...

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #22 on:** October 27, 2010, 07:44:29 AM »

As I understand it, this book is part one of a two volume set. I don't see the next one available yet on Amazon. I wonder if the title will be ...AND THEN I WROTE ROAD SHOW...

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #23 on:** October 27, 2010, 07:46:45 AM »

Hopefully, Mr. Sondheim doesn't lurk at this here website on a daily basis. Comments like that will most probably diminish my chances at getting him to scribble in my book.

MBarnum · « **Reply #24 on:** October 27, 2010, 08:03:55 AM »

DR Edisaurus, you will be happy to know that PUSS N BOOTS, and several of the other K. Gordon Murray English dubbed releases of Mexican films are considered cult classics.

Here is a website devoted to K. Gordon Murray and his film releases:

http://www.kiddiematinee.com/murray.html

There is even a documentary coming out soon!

DR JMK, did you order GUMNAAM? You won't ever regret spending the $5.99!

MBarnum · « **Reply #26 on:** October 27, 2010, 08:08:12 AM »

My question for BK (and JRand).....

Have you yet watched MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM (1944), and if so I would like a complete
report on what you thought of it...good, bad, or ugly.

Not yet, but I will.

JMK · « **Reply #28 on:** October 27, 2010, 08:22:53 AM »

I'm still busy taking umbrage.

MBarnum · « **Reply #29 on:** October 27, 2010, 08:30:50 AM »

Be sure to return that umbrage the way you found it. Some else may need to use it.
