DR Ben, I appreciated your posting the Amazon.com info several days ago. When I get to their Kindle page I go into a coma. I believe that I have successfully registered the damned thing, but I have no idea how to proceed. I really think I'd just as soon open a book than deal with all of this unnecessary madness.

I'll see you later today, DR elmore.

I received the Blu-ray of Citizen Kane today, in a nice big box with extra goodies. It's a film which I admire rather than unreservedly enjoy but as one of the all-time classics I feel it has to be in my collection.

I have it on excellent authority

that NO ONE cares as much about CITIZEN KANE as they do about SCARFACE. At least according to the interwebs.

When I first moved to Portland, I was hired to play in a country band called THE WAFFLES. I have yet to be hired for a band called CHICKEN.

Oh, and speaking of Blu-Ray Discs...

Today's Amazon Gold Box Deal is The Sound of Music - 45th Anniversary Blu-ray/DVD Combo, Limited Edition.

Sorry to sit here like so much fish, but our internet is sporadic. Back now in the main lounge, listening to an architectural lecture and surfin' the net. Just like my former students...

I'm looking forward to seeing Terrence Malick's Tree of Life. I loved The Thin Red Line, didn't like The New World, thought Badlands OK and Days of Heaven bored me. So my reaction to his films is very variable.
I'm along similar line. Loved "Thin Red Line," hated "New World." But I also loved "Badlands" and found "Days of Heaven" beautiful but cold, and I saw the latter at a time when I was really young and didn't know how to respond to cold movies.

I'm just sort of surprises that "The Tree of Life" is already on DVD. Wasn't it just in the theatres this past summer, a few months ago?

I think it was released in early Spring, although I may be mistaken.

Ummmm...where have you been the past 5 or 6 years, DR Jose? This is "normal". The final "Harry Potter" movie will be out the first (or second) week in November...and it was released in...what...June?

TOD:

Best Chicken: My mother's. Every time. Not even a contest with any other chicken I've ever eaten. There was one other that was in a league of its own, although I cannot recall where I was when I ate it. It was coated in corn flakes, of all things, and it was quite tasty.

Best waffle: I am not a connoisseur by any means, but I loved the pecan waffle I'd occasionally order at The Waffle House on Pendleton Pike in Lawrence, Indiana. Otherwise, I'm a "Belgian waffle" fan, and I've only eaten frozen ones.

You couldn't pay me to watch SCARFACE again. I think the interwebs are peopled by dweebs with unrequited libidos and an excess of testosterone. They enter puberty and express themselves freely based upon the movies that satisfy said libidos.

The Scarface poster is used as set dressing in many movies about said persons described by DR RLP.

Didn't the Academy forbid privately done screeners for members, or am I imagining that? I'm thinking that may have at least something to do with the quick turnaround of product these days, especially as we approach nominating season.

Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. After dinner the internet was quite wonky on the boat and when I tried to open HHW I got this message:

As you can guess, they've unblocked it for me...

TOD: Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles is pretty delicious, but the one I really loved was Amber's Broasted Chicken.

Our apartment in the Valley was around the corner from Amber's. Unfortunately we couldn't afford it very often. I remember going in to get some for our dog because he was sick & the woman behind the counter said she also gave it to her dog for the same problem.

*I've actually been on a juice fast the past three days. I just needed something to reset my system after dealing with the kidney stones. I, apparently, had also strained some intercostal muscles somewhere along the line, so that was just another reason to get my insides in order. And now they are. And I should be easing back into my normal eating routine by the time I land in Chicago on Wednesday morning!

Oh good! Does this mean your kidney stones are gone?

The original is great.

I'm thinking you're correct on this. It was a big deal when it was discovered these screeners were being used by pirates to bootleg copies.

I can't imagine eating chicken & waffles together. I have two best waffles. The first was a Belgian waffle at the Mendocino Hotel. If I weren't so full I might have ordered a second one.

We had a four hour layover at the Amsterdam airport and decided to hop the train into the city leaving our carry-on luggage in a locker. We purchased some fresh waffles & other goodies to take back to the plane with us. Oh my the waffles were delicious.

I don't know if the lockers still exist since 911 & suspect you have to go through security on the return trip from the city. That was the best layover I have ever had at an airport. The international area is one big gourmet shopping area which we allowed time to explore after our quick trip into the city/tourist area.

Best fried chicken - The Golden Lamb in Lebanon, Ohio. I don't have a best waffle - but do like Roscoe's and the one I had yesterday. Best hot dog was the Wiener Factory in their Golden Age before they got sloppy.

The cult of Scarface is truly an enigma to me. But the cult of a lot of De Palma's movies is an enigma to me, especially Dressed To Kill, Blow Out, and the dreadful Body Double.

They did stop the screeners for one year, I believe - but then all the Hollywood brat whiners, who'd rather die than go see a film in a screening room properly projected, got their way and they were reinstated. Same with the score CDs - those were being sold (and are still being sold) at astronomical prices.

DR Jennifer this afternoon I'll be making a trip to the library to pick up LOVE YOU MORE. I had to wait a long time for it to become available. I guess Lisa Gardner is popular.

I'll be returning THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, by Mary Lawson, which I think could be considered a young adult book. I'm curious if you would agree.

Best hot dog is Cupid's, in the Valley, with their chili on top. I have never been a fan of chili and was surprised how much I liked their's.
