Well, you've read the notes, the notes were spider-like and spun webs of words, and now it is time for you to post until the spider-like cows come home.

As Conan implied on his show last night, is there indeed a distinct lack of Oscar fever this year?

Good morning, all! I slept fitfully and did not want to get up when the alarm went off. I have a few errands to run this morning before I settle into work mode.

Beyond that, I have nothing to report except the TOD:
DVD: the three Netflix items still sit here, Tower Heist, Berg's operas, Lulu and Wozzeck
CD: Offenbach's "Robinson Crusoe," Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Lorelei's Diary with Carol Channing
VCR: porn

When this court thing is over 1st week of March, must tell what has been going on, so glad I never had a divorce or had to deal with child custody issues. Yuck. My name was mentioned and I just can not figure out why, except that someone is not getting what they want, or maybe realize that they made a mistake. It's been 5 years, don't people get over it.

My mind and heart have been going crazy, the fear and flight thing has been happening, beyond my control.

OH WELL

This sounds suspiciously similar to what I alluded to a few days ago. It must be going around.

I think it's so considerate of those sweet Mormons to go around proxy baptizing people like Simon Wiesenthal and Anne Frank.

CD: music from The Twelve Kingdoms, an older anime series that has a gawgeous score.

BD: review items like Princess Jellyfish (don't ask) and a Styx concert BD.

I really hope those sweet Mormons can finally get around to Abraham and Moses, I mean, it's about time, don't you think?

Let's not forget Hitler on that list.

TOD:

With the Oscars on Sunday, I'm not sure I'll get to all of these this weekend, but this is what's new on my shelf:

MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE
CORMAN'S WORLD
ANATOMY OF A MURDER (Criterion)
WYATT EARP'S REVENGE

Druxy · « **Reply #27 on:** February 24, 2012, 07:49:48 AM »

Regarding J. EDGAR:

Although I liked it more than BK, it certainly is not one of Eastwood's better films of recent years.

As I said a couple of days ago, I think the story would have worked better as a 8+ hour mini-series, rather than as a 2+ hour movie. I felt the same way about Lawrence Kasdan's WYATT EARP a few years back.

Regarding BK's CITIZEN KANE comparison: Yes, there was a slight surprising story twist at the end of J. EDGAR, but unlike with Welles classic, it didn't really help.

In KANE, the "Rosebud" mystery is set up from the start...and it drives the narrative. Had Eastwood's picture included a "mystery" like that from the start, I think that J. EDGAR would have been much more effective and, indeed, might have worked.

Nevertheless, it did hold my intellectual, if not emotional, interest.

TOD:

DVD - NIGHT CALLER (aka BLOOD BEAST FROM OUTER SPACE) 1965 low budget British sci-fi B movie, in the Quatermass vein, recently released on the Renown label. The score is by Johnny Gregory; great arranger - I still have some of his LP records. Includes a colorized version with some of the most awful colors I've ever seen.
