Right now, the sky is black as night overhead with a glimmer of light on the horizon to the southwest. A storm is sitting on top of us, but yet everything is oddly quiet. Lightning is flashing occasionally. And there's a greenish tinge to the light, which is said to be associated with tornadoes. Hope this isn't a repeat of 40 years ago.

Head for the basement!

And I am home and ready for a nap.

I hear that Milo O'Shea has died. I worked with him around 1982. He was a very lovely man.

I'm at work and I'M ready for a nap too. I have to go to the grocery store after work and when I return I may take a nap and then we will watch another 2 episodes of the recent HBO Mildred Pierce. We watched Episode 1 on Monday.

Hi DRBen

Thanks Ben.

I love the movie Mildred Pierce. I love most old black and white movies. I never saw the HBO version. I will have to one of these days.

I very much liked the HBO adaptation: good cast, no murder. I do find Veda's rise to vocal stardom hard to buy, though, but that's Cain's problem.

One of my favorite movies of all time is The Enchanted Cottage with Robert Young.

Hi everyone:

I will tell you a little about myself. I love to sing and play guitar, enjoy old movies especially with Betty Davis, Joan Crawford and Greer Garson. My favorite male actor is Jimmy Stewart. Favorite Musical is Les Mis. My favorite tv show is Scandal.

I love to write religious songs. Would love to visit Italy and Paris.

Take care,
Kate

I never met O'Shea, but he and Dan O'Herlihy were always up for the same roles.

Loved Milo O'Shea in most anything, but especially in James Joyce's Ulysses. Not a perfect film of the novel, but as good as we're ever likely to get and he was all sorts of wonderful in it.

Sorry to hear about Milo O'Shea.

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala has died. Really enjoyed her screenplays for "Room with a View" and "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge" as well as some of her novels.

Have you seen BLOOM with my close personal friend Stephen Rea?

This afternoon I'm joining a couple of members of Home Theater Forum at the house of one where we've enjoyed a few very satisfying movie nights over the past several months.

BK: He has the Panasonic projector they were using at the Marriott last fall.

His screen is a 12-foot home-built job that, to my eyes, provides a spectacular picture. Speakers and surround system are excellent, and the seating (comfortable recliners on home-built risers) is wonderful. Best of all (to my taste), it's not something Architectural Digest will be out to do a spread on any time soon. Actually, not ever. Nothing fancy, just the family room of his raised ranch completely blacked out and completely dedicated to film, with shelving for his BLU/DVD/LD collection, and posters, on every available inch of three walls. Just great equipment, a great collection, and total comfort. On my first visit, I was committed to someday having my own projection setup -- something I hadn't been very interested or curious about before. You gotta see it to believe how incredible it can be.

So, today's double feature: the new UK Blu-ray of (HORROR OF) DRACULA, and what is apparently a 3D spectacular, A TURTLE TALE: SAMMY'S ADVENTURES.

Wow! That sounds like an incredible movie-watching set-up!

I think your friend should also show ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN this afternoon DR CHAS SMITH. It's only 68 minutes.
Still waiting on this to arrive from the library.

It must be POPULAR!
