I always thought Ken Russell was an over the top director; pushing the envelope to see far he go.

I enjoyed:
The Boy Friend (the most A typical of all friends)
Tommy (his visual style worked very well with material)
Altered States
The original musical videos for The Phantom of the Opera; Wishing You Were Still Here Again & the title song

His strangest films that I've seen

The Devils (Uncut versio)
Crimes of Passion
The Lair of the White Worm
Gothic (But in a good way)

and some of his bizarre bio films.

There's a really excellent boxed set of Russell's early BBC television stuff available, part of that same series that had sets on Maggie Smith, etc.

In yet another example of how far outside of the preferred demographic I have become, I am reviewing a set of "party demos" that amateur programmers do on their computers to show their programming/graphics skills. This has evidently been going on since the Atari age, but I had never heard of it. I did my very first studio MIDI work on an Atari.

I keep seeing promos for a new series called I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER and it looks really bad......lame writing and some really bad comedy "acting."

And I am starting to see promos for Debra Messing's new show - I am intrigued by the format, but I don't think I can watch it.

If BK and/or JR have a few extra thousand lying around department: I've been browsing through the two MAMMOTH Profiles in History auction catalogs that came last week. There is some absolutely amazing stuff. For BK, in the Icons of Animation catalog, there is a rare Eyvind Earle advertising illustration for WEST SIDE STORY (!!). I don't think it was ever used. For JR, there is the original art for the cover of the ANNETTE COLORING BOOK.

JMK · « **Reply #42 on:** November 28, 2011, 08:44:01 AM »

I've mentioned this before, but Profiles in History must shell out some SERIOUS cash in producing these catalogs. They're always hundreds of pages, on glossy stock with copious photos.

Just about anything but "Absence of Malice," and that for the pure reason that Hollywood's shorthand for journalism is silly. Thought the acting (except for Balaban) was fine, but if it had been a true depiction of journalism, well, the audience would have been bored.

I bought a Nook last week and returned it today (Sunday). I was getting headaches trying to read it. I tried different settings and none seem to work for me.

When I returned it I mentioned the reason why and the associate acknowledge that he had heard this before

I had trouble getting use to mine. Had I not been forced to use it I probably would have given up.
