TCM (UK) started broadcasting today in HD at long last. They kicked off with "Ben-Hur".

My sister loves this movie...even though she's neither particularly religious nor a fan of Chuck Heston's.

Speaking of "Ben-Hur"...in the trivia section, there's this little piece of info:

Quote
Charlton Heston himself wrote some additional scenes between Ben-Hur and Messala. They were never used as William Wyler deemed them to be "the phoniest thing" he'd ever had to deal with from an actor.

Interesting about Costco.  I'll have to mention this to Keith.

I just found out that my specific brand/type of printer ink cartridge is a new addition to what refills they offered.  They hadn't been able to refill it before now...they don't refill all types.

Thanks.

TOD:  Probably "Silent Movie," (Mel Brooks).  I don't remember seeing any silents on TV, which would have been the only way I would have seen them.

DR elmore - I bought that Lambert Wilson album in a cut-out bin at Tower Records. It was priced at $2.00, so, I figured what-the-hey? The first time I played it, I could only get through the first two tracks - it was just so hard to listen to. Eventually, I made it through the whole album... I should have left it in the cut-out bin.

I have that recording, also...but I didn't buy it for $2, though.

TOD:

I really don't know what my first silent film was. Maybe something with Harold Lloyd in it or it could have been something along the lines of CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI. I do know it likely was when I was in 5th, 6th, or 7th grade.

I do know that the last silent film I watched was something starring Brigitte Helm...but it was not METROPOLIS.

If you've been following this strange Stevie Wonder story about his goofy comments at first saying being gay was not OK, now clarifying that he really didn't mean that, and I really believe him, because he really sounds sorry that what he said came out wrong -

so i got to thinking wouldn't it be great if everybody who SAID they didn't believe in gay equality were just misspeaking and corrected themseleves :)


Sheree Sano did the vocal on this Stevie Wonder  parody

It's timely and VERY slightly political - a YouTube parody,

Noted that a playhouse in ME is doing 9 to 5... Matt Ashford is playing Franklin Hart, Jr.

I noted Becky Gulsvig is in the show. She is from the FM area... She is a product of the Trollwood Summer Arts school.

I saw that on facebook but look at the date.  I thought he was still alive.

On a lighter note (pick a note, any note), Playbill.com has a video of a song from the pre-show for Once. :)
