DR JRand,

did you check out the VCI website? They had a lot of good prices, and with that discount coupon things were very, very cheap! I got GORGO for about $2.00 and The Herman Cohen double feature was, like, $8.00 or so.

I believe Muhah Ha Ha stars in Bollywood features, too, doesn't he?

[MBarnum]

It is just JMK and I.

I guess the Oregonians are the only ones goofy enough to  be up this early.

[Ginny]

Helloooo, DR MBarnum, I'm here, too.  An Oregon native.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up...  And I'm beginning to wonder if there's such a thing as a "sinus-ectomy".

[JoseSPiano]

No Black Friday shopping for us down here. At least no early morning Black Friday shopping. I didn't get out of bed until around 10:00, but I know my parents had to head out earlier for some of their regular shopping, and I'm pretty sure they'll be checking out some of the "crazy" specials today.

Peter Filichia likes Bruce! Here is an excerpt from his column today:

On to books. Bruce Kimmel’s delightful and sobering “There’s Mel, There’s Woody, and There’s You” should be read by everyone who wants a career in any facet of show business. Kimmel details a life of so-near-yet-so-far-ism, where making wrong decisions had so many unforeseen ramifications (for such projects as The First Nudie Musical) . We meet a number of executives who love Kimmel when he’s hot but suddenly are unreachable when he’s not. Along the way, there are plenty of if-I-knew-then-what-I-know-now situations, and yet Kimmel always tells his story with good humor and in a breezy conversational style.

Here is the full column. It's got suggestions on theatre-related gifts for the holidays

All Good Gifts

that was a nice mention.

Oy!  I'm on the page for the Kindle deal, but I don't think i'm going to go for it.  I have 8 minutes to decide.  I'm thinking that I'd rather get a Nook so I can get books from the library.  I also don't like the idea that it's the Kindle 2 instead of the Kindle 3.  For the extra $50, I'd rather have the current technology....so.....I think I'll wait. 

[JoseSPiano]

As for the Friday Media Check...

-It's been a good week getting reacquainted with WCVE here in Richmond.

[John G.]

Morning, all.

[Cillaliz]

Ok, I'm off the Kindle deal page so someone else can get on.   If I'm not sure I want something $89 is too much to spend, even if it is a good deal.

And the word of the day is: CONSANGUINEOUS!

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

And The Song Of The Day Is:  ROTHSCHILD AND SONS

Went to stand in line this morning at a movie theater that was offering $50 gift cards for $10. There were literally hundreds and hundreds almost circling the 16-plex theater. And it was 45 degrees with a nasty wind blowing. After standing in line shivering for most of "Saturday Night" on my MP3, I heard someone say that the theater was "sold out" of the gift cards and was only selling 15-percent discounts. Nothing was said about limited quantities. I don't kno whether to report them for false advertising or not.

And I'm supposedly headed to one of their theaters today for "Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest," which has made its way here.

[John G.]

After that debacle I headed to Coscto and bought a Flip. Now I have to figure out how it works.

[JoseSPiano]

There were some interesting Black Friday tweets on Twitter last night and this morning. Twitter seemed to be a good way for people to gauge how long the lines were at certain stores. The scariest(?) one I read was about the line outside an Old Navy.  The store wasn't due to open for another five hours, but there were already 400(!!?!?) people in line. Yikes!

I'm wondering if the theatre literally sold out of the actual cards?  Otherwise, I'm sure there must be some "fine print" buried somewhere.

bk - Cool story about Ilona Simon.

[JoseSPiano]

bk - RE: Those emails about your blogging - Had you contacted the folks at URDB? Or vice versa?

[Matthew]

I'm awake.  The left side of my lower back is still misbehaving as I was hoping it would ease up over night.  I guess we're going out a little later.

DR Jennifer, my brother Randy is dominated by his older brother Macbeth both at work and at home. Everything pertaining to this property has been dictated by Macbeth for the past three years. What I get from Randy is always "Macbeth and I've been discussing . . ." It's always presented to me as a fait accompli and I have no say. Do I resent this? DUH!

What really burns my ass, is that M does nothing to promote the sale of the property but will certainly want his deserved share of the pie. Since the only one doing anything is JoAnn, I'm not happy with Randy at the moment. And Randy is furious with me that I'm talking to this realtor.

Good morning, good day, how are you this beautiful day?  I am apparently up and Jason Graae will be arriving at ten along with Lanny Meyers.

[Cillaliz]

Ok, I have to think about starting my day.  Paul needs a ride to the bank and to do a couple errands, so I'm picking him up at 1:00 PM  then my recliner will be delivered at 2:30 PM.   I think after that I'll start cleaning.  Mom and Dad are coming to visit tomorrow.  I don't have a lot to do downstairs, pick up and run the vacuum, but I want to rearrange some furniture upstairs and clean the floor where I removed the carpet.  I'll have the new recliner, so I think I'll hand out up there tonight.

Jose, the two e-mails came out of the blue.

Wonderful story, bk, about Ilona Simon. (And I thoroughly agree with your assessment of "Sherlock Jr." One of the greatest of greats.)

[Cillaliz]

Instead of an ereader I bought a second Roku http://shop.roku.com/Roku-Streaming-Player-Options-W5.aspx the DX is 20% off until noon pacific today.  I was playing with my old one last night and can't believe the shows etc I can get for nothing.  Plus my instant netflix movies.  SO, I decided to get one for upstairs that's in HD (my old one isn't).

[Cillaliz]

If you don't know about the Roku here's what you can get http://www.roku.com/  If I really like it and get used to this plus my digital over the air channels, who knows, I may get rid of cable

Jose, the two e-mails came out of the blue.

Hmmm... I wonder if they're trying to submit their record to the URDB? Or even to Guiness?
