Ron, there is a rumor afoot and atoe that Criterion will be doing Spartacus - should that turn out to be true, you can be sure they will not use the hideous outdated master that Universal did.

Didn't Criterion already do SPARTACUS?

I think that's the DVD version I have.

There is this free game on kindle that I am in love with. It is called Every Word.

They give you scrambled letters and you have to find as many words as you can. To move on to the next level you need to at least find the longest word. But you get more points for every other word you find. It is helpful that they are listed in alphabetical order. So you can figure out some words.

Love this game.

http://www.amazon.com/Every-Word/dp/B003P37FW0/ref=pd_sim_kstore_3

I have that game too.  It's fun, but I'm horrible at it.  It's like Scrabble and I'm not just able to see all the words, even if/when I know them when they're revealed. :P

I've been up since about eight-thirty.  Had a very long and interesting telephonic call at that time that looks like it may result in quite a few exciting Kritzerland releases.  I've got all digits crossed because this would be a VERY good thing.

I'm on my way to eat something and finish proofing, after which I'll hopefully pick up a few packages, come home, and finally begin entering the fixes.

I did find one recipe on Kraft that i might use. It is for cheesecake, but only uses 1 container of cream cheese (which i already have). I is a peanut butter/cream cheese pie.

Ooo...that sounds delicious! :D

I'm trying to figure out what to make for the Super Bowl.

I love cheesecake. But most use like 3-4 containers of cream cheese which is too expensive, especially on an untried recipe.

Do you have a small cheese cake springform pan?  If so you can halve the recipe.

I don't know what size my springform pan is. But i think it's pretty big.

In honor of the double birthday celebration for the first time I was able to sign in on my nook.

I have not tried signing in on my kindle yet. I was worried i wouldn't be able to read the comments easily. But i'm guessing i wouldn't be able to read them okay (i can read twitter but not facebook). Just thinking posting might be a challenge.

Posting is a challenge for me.  I don't know how to go back & correct mistakes & it bothers my shoulders posting under the covers.

The reason i haven't set it up on my kindle is because i don't want to read something and want to comment on it and not be able to. I think you can go back my selecting "delete" (assuming you just mean to correct one letter).

It's tough to tell from the promos - but the music from SMASH doesn't seem to be Broadway like - more American Idol content and singing style.  It might be a vehicle for selling LOTS of music downloads....kind of like GLEE.

And then there's the luminescence of Miss MESSing.

DR JRand - Have you watched the pilot online? Most of the songs are written by Debra Messing and Christian Borle, er, I mean Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman. So, the sound is very much of "today's Broadway".

I like what I've heard so far, although, I will admit that nothing has truly impressed me, but I think that may be on purpose.

*I actually liked the choice of "Beautiful" for an audition song. There was something very smart about that choice. Alas, I didn't like the auto-tuning.

**I'm wondering if we'll be hearing any songs from the writing teams "current" hit show, "Heaven & Earth" (which, apparently is at the Shubert Theatre).

My only pre-conceived difficulty with this show is that I couldn't stand Katharine McPhee as a vocalist on "American Idol"...didn't like her intonations, didn't like that she was pitchy, at one point or another, in every song she sang.  I considered her a "vanilla" singer...a voice, but not one I wanted to hear again.

Will give the show a chance.  But I'm pre-disposed to not liking it.

I'm sure she must have changed a lot since Idol. Heck i saw Kelly Pickler perform on the View this week and she was much different (although i always liked her).

Am thinking that Superbowl Sunday might be a good time to check for Broadway show tickets that are usually difficult to obtain.

Kritzerland music vibes for MR BK.

On Tuesday night on ME TV - they broadcast the Perry Mason episode from 1964 titled The Case of the Accosted Accountant....the victim in the piece was named B.K. Durand.....so it was most amusing to me to hear an hour of people in court and out discussing the BK.

It's especially hilarious in that there are polls showing his endorsement will actually be detrimental.  :)

That's pretty funny. He just endorsed Mitt Romney.
Now the DNC has announced that he chose Romney because they both like to fire people!

I think that's the DVD version I have.

I think the consensus is that the Criterion DVD is the best version out there right now.  I sure HOPE Criterion does it on BD!

A better question might be "Who are these people?"

Who gives a sweet patootie whatsoever about what "the Donald" thinks or endorses?  Seriously.

The biggest joke of last year was his announcement that he was running for president!!!

I heard on the news this morning that the Trump people proclaimed that the Donald would be making a MAJOR announcement today.

Is there no END to his ego?

As for the Topic of the Day...

-At least the second part of it...

"Misery" - Although, I kind of wanted to see James Cahn's character "hobbled" the way the writer was in the book. ::)
"Like Water for Chocolate" - I love the recipes!

"Misery"!  I loved the book and I loved the movie. :D
A few weeks ago, I just finished reading Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and I love "Scrooge" with Albert Finney.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the British TV version is muchly preferred over the movie, which I liked, but don't prefer)

I'm reading today's Topic of the Day as that we should've seen the movie AND read the book...so, I can't think of any other books that I've read that were made into movies...not that there haven't been any other, but I just can't think of any. :-\

Or is it just movies in general that were based on books, whether we've read the books or not?
