Well, you've read the notes, the notes said nothing, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they have nothing to say either, and yet they keep saying MOO. Go know.

Morning all.

That is all.

We have rain this morning. The temperatures may rise into the 50s. and stay there for most of the weekend.

I'm seeing Les Miz on Sunday afternoon.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

One of the top ten finest screen performances of all time

Oatmeal with pecans and dried apricots and cranberries and cinnamon and coffee.

California Suite with the equally brilliant Michael Caine. I consider the "Visitors From London" to be Neil Simon's best piece of writing

A friend sent us a copy of

Some of My Best Friends Are...

Wow, bad has a whole new definition.

I'm also surprised at who was in the movie. Gary Sandy, Fannie Flagg, Rue McClanahan, Carleton Carpenter (in a wordless role) and Candy Darling

Michael · « **Reply #11 on:** January 12, 2013, 04:14:29 AM »

Another favorite of mine but I don't think it's as well known as some of her other films

And Mr. Buck Rodgers himself Gil Gerard, Peg Murray (Tony winner for Cabaret original cast) and Sylvia Syms.

I think at the time they wanted to make a "daring" film with gay characters a la "The Boys In the Band" (The year was 1971) And just like "Boys" it doesn't hold up as well. Gay characters in fiction as moved past these stereotypes

Miss Maggie Smith....or Dame....I guess she is....

Really like all of her performances, but I will just name two.

California Suite - mentioned above AND The V.I.P.S.

DR VIXMOM your dream was TOO much for the Dream-O-Matic, however some of it pointed to your desire to handle some details in depth and let others go because you do not consider them priorities.....

TOD: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, of course
The VIPS

Good morning. My birdbath is frozen.

I actually saw The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel on dvd a couple of months ago. I'm guessing that is one reason it was not nominated for anything. Came out quite a while ago and then went to dvd so quickly.

While I think the performances were good (those actors are amazing) the movie wasn't really my cup of tea. The setting was fine. But the movie itself was very odd.

Jennifer · « **Reply #23 on:** January 12, 2013, 06:30:24 AM »

I also love Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey.

For some reason today's TOD reminded me that I saw Betty Buckley on this week's Pretty Little Liars. She is playing one of the girls grandmothers and got to sing. Not sure why but i was really surprised when I saw her.

Good morning, all! The noisy oafs above me are trying hard to keep the noise down late at night, so they crept in after midnight, quietly puttered around, then some idiot slammed the apartment door and that woke me with a jolt. I'm on my first cup of coffee and pondering the day.

I will head to my pharmacy around 11 and pick up my monthly meds before the trek to Toyland. Today is an edit Jerome Moross day. Then I'm meeting Rob Berman at 5pm for dinner.

I'll work a bit on my DEAREST ENEMY notes before I leave.

More coffee!

Everything Maggie Smith has ever done.

Druxy · « **Reply #27 on:** January 12, 2013, 07:08:15 AM »

According to legend:

Without the help of 20th Century Fox, producer Robert Fryer mounted his own Oscar publicity campaign on behalf of Maggie Smith to get her a nomination for THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE, which was not a financial success.

When he was successful in his effort, the people at Fox called him onto the carpet and balled him out because they felt that Maggie Smith took the Best Actress nomination slot that should have gone to Barbra Streisand for HELLO, DOLLY!

I wonder if they apologized after Smith won.
