DR FJL, we need a Downtown Downton Abbey parody.

Happy Birthday, FJL!  I would sing you a parody of Happy Birthday, but the Hill Sisters would probably sue!

Monday morning greetings, and thank you, HHW, for being my "breaking news" source with the news about the death of ObL.  I went to bed very early last night and, for some reason looked at last night's posts as soon as I got up about 8 this morning.  Wonderful news, indeed.

Happy Birthday, FJL.  My advice--*don't* write a parody of Happy Birthday, the copyright holders are evidently quite vicious.  :)

My eldest sister believes she has "travel karma," by which she means every time she leaves to go somewhere, something "big" happens in the news.  Her trips out here from the east coast have included 9/11 and two major earthquakes/tsunamis.  Guess who left for China last night?  :)

Well, you've read the notes, the notes found their way back, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently crossing the Himalayas and coming home.

I also watched the episode of his game show Take a Good Look which is included in the new Kovacs boxed set, and I must say, I did NOT understand the putative "clues" (which are acted out in skits) to the first guest's "secret identity."  The second guest's "clues" were explained, but not the first guest's.  If you get the set, watch how the first guest, a high school teacher, reads the cue card about his accomplishment along with Kovacs, it's hilarious.

If perchance you were to drop by a certain right wing "news" organization's site, you might be surprised to see the only picture of a President on the site with regard to the bin Laden story is not our current President.  Quelle surprise.

TOD:

Most anything by Robert Altman, especially "The Gingerbread Man" and "Cookie's Fortune."

I'll second ArnoldMBrockman's "The Stunt Man" (for a movie nominated for best picture, it still feels unjustly neglected)

I'm sure there are many more, but it's still too early for me.

DR FJL, we need a Downtown Downton Abbey parody.

Was that a reference to the UPTURN GIRL parody about Christie Brinkley that I put in the "New York Times comment box" when she filled the box office coffers at CHICAGO?  (If I've posted this here already, let me know and I'll edit this out.)



Over $900,000 for Christie Brinkley in CHICAGO!!!  In the show’s 15th year!

UPTURN GIRL
Tune of UPTOWN GIRL

Upturn Girl
Christie’s rocking our investors’ world
We’d had a lot of times our weekly nut
May have suggested it was time to shut
It scared us but -

Now our Upturn Girl
Gets the audience from ‘round the world
As long as Christie’s here to sell a seat
No way we’re going downward in defeat
That's what we’ll tweet

And soon she’ll know what
The press will opi-i-ine
And soon she’ll hear
If they cheer or they whi-i-ine
She'll know if after all
She should stay
On through fall

She’s our Upturn Girl
You know that Barry likes to be a churl
But Barry’s smiling in our fifteenth year
And praying Christie still wants to appear
When summer’s here
 
Dough-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (2x)

Upturn Girl
There’s our Upturn Girl
Our grosses mean love
For our Upturn Girl
Our Upturn Girl
You know they’re in love
With our Upturn Girl

I usually scratch my head over over-rated films than under-rated ones...one such BK mentioned in his notes.  A.I....What a bloated,indulgent piece of clap-trap.  TITANIC is another...King of the World, my backside.
