Looking over Mr. Simon's filmography, I realize that I have never once laid eyes on the film version of LAST OF THE RED HOT LOVERS.

I have seen this at Big Lots recently, in case you want to own a copy. It wasn't my favorite of his films, though the performances were good.

I saw THE ARTIST for the first time on TV and in HD. I had my concerns about whether it had been overrated and whether I would enjoy a modern silent film but it is absolutely brilliant. A superb film in every way.

From DR Vixmom:
Quote
Vixdad received  The Prisoner on DVD as a Christmas gift -  we showed the first episode to the Vixter this evening -  she was underwhelmed

This fan here still had to laugh.   Maybe she needs to watch THE SECRET AGENT MAN before she can appreciate THE PRISONER.

Good morning from Miami!  Thanks for the travel vibes yesterday.  I got here without a problem.  My friend from Buffalo had no trouble-he had a non-stop flight to Ft. Laudedale.

The bride and groom to be and 9 others were on the flight through LaGuardia. Thankfully, they made it out on time.  My nephew said they were on the last flight out!

One of their friends couldn't get out of Buffalo (flight cancelled) and is going to fly to Jamaica and meet the ship on Monday.  The wedding is on Tuesday.

We leave for the ship at 12;30 and it leaves the port at 4:30.

Great news.  Vibes the last friend makes it to Jamaica on time.

Good morning, all.

Holy ..... moley ..... is about all I have to say.

Very very fortunate here, with no power outage and just a world o' white to start cleaning up.  All roads in Connecticut remain closed.  All roads.  That's a pretty mindboggling concept when you think about it.

Anyhoo ... all is well here, and I hope it is likewise for all DRs.

Glad to see you are still here.

Good Morning!  Glad to see our East Coast friends checking in. 

Yup.  Still waiting for DR Vixmom.  I don't have a text message on my phone which is good.

We wound up with a little over a coating of snow in my neck of the woods.  I won't even have to go out and shovel--the bright sun is doing a fine job in melting what is on the sidewalk, pathway, steps and car.

Good & now I know I don't need to check on a few of my friends :)

We did get snow in Manhattan. I'm not sure how much, the paper is inconclusive and talks more about LI and New England than Manhattan. We got maybe 4 or 5 inches. The paper said 8 inches in Central Park but it's not that much in Chelsea.

As Vixmom said, they got lots and lots of snow on Long Island. Anthony's mother said they have about 2 feet of snow and it's worse in Connecticut and the rest of New England.

We have power and food and television and the rest of The Grand to watch so we will be fine.

Part of last night's CSI: NY took place in Chelsea.
