I think the only actor that I would allow to play me would be MR BK.

[FJL]

MBarnum - I don't now.  i'm confused by why they think no laws apply to them, but someone seems to have convinced them of that, nbecause theyseem to be behaving that way..

I'm sure there are no such rules. But they've decided they don't like you so they made a rule for you. Why would you want to go?

By definition, in any civil rights case, you're "not wanted" by the people or group denying you access to their [whatever, service, public accomodation, taxi cab, restaurant, place, job, anything].  Yes, you can go eat somewhere else, see the film somewhere else, spend your time doi9ng something else, live soemwhere else, work somewhere else,etc.  But a principle is that if it's seen as discrimination, you don;t have to accept it. 

I don't know how it differs in Canada.

The only analogy i can make to a place like Talkin Broadway is imagine a building where the the tenants rae 98% wonderful people but you have a beef with the landlords who feel laws don;t apply to them, so the landlords want you out.

Topic of the Day:

1776 - I would take the extra-extended laserdisc version
Close Encounters
The Fall
The Hobbit - the as-yet unfinished three-part extended version (that counts!)
The Lord of the Rings - the three-part extended version (I consider all three parts to be one movie )
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Scrooge
Singing in the Rain
Star Wars (the original theatrical version when it was only "Star Wars" and not "Star Wars, Part IV: A New Hope")

These are what I can think of...I'm sure that there are more that I could choose and more effectively narrow them down to only five, but I didn't)

[George]

And now, I'm off to the theater.  Tonight is the women's final dress/$5 preview and then...tomorrow is the official opening night! 

Until later!

I think Jennifer interpreted your post as referring to an actual party  rather than a website

If I am mistaken in MY interpretation,  never mind

The wind is howling outside.  When we returned from Costco this afternoon we found our patio table, along with the umbrella that sits in a stand & goes up through the hole in the table, tipped over.  It was a good distance from where it should have been.  The wind must have been blowing something fierce at the time.

I count ALL this to be ONE movie -  so that's ONE for me!

OK legal eagles - since I only dabble in real estate law as a para...my curiosity is piqued-

Do you have to prove the excluded party is  part of a group that is being discriminated against?  For instance  not allowing in Asians or people over 60  or women or amputees -  is it discrimination if they just don't like one particular person?

I see, yes - got it - This is the actual party on June 8th being thrown by the website in a restaurant in New York City.  So everybidy there are the people I've always been friendly with.  It's just the owners of the website who are behaving unlawfully.

I've never been a calorie counter -- when I've dieted, it's been something like Atkins in which you stick to a certain type of food but you don't count calories -- but I believe it's time to start.  

What prompted this post (in addition to Ye Olde Waistline, of course) is the foodstuff I just ate and very much enjoyed.  I like some of the wraps at Trader Joe's and today I picked up their Wild Pacific Salmon Wrap.  First off, it's delicious and quite hefty and filling.  It consists of salmon, cucumbers, spinach, and yogurt dill sauce in a tomato tortilla.  Okay, if truth be told (and it must, it must), I could eat three of these in a sitting.  But I'm trying to cut out that kind of binge eating.  

Anyhoo, I'd noticed that this wrap was notably lower in sodium than their others (some of which have four times the amount), and lower in carbs.  But what I'm not used to looking at is the calories.  Unfortunately, they seem to believe this fine piece of foodstuff consists of two (2) servings.  And that's how they get you.  But the numbers still aren't bad.  Calorie count is 400, or 200 for half.  If you're a stronger person than I, you will eat half of this and save the rest for later.  That's a concept foreign to my way of life, and something I need to work on.

The wrap would be good if they would leave the salmon out of it.

OK, Pinocchio fans: Today is Tell a Lie Day. Enjoy.

My husband is figuring the taxes.

LOL!

Someone on that site we don't mention here posted the following link to a half-hour version of Songs from "The Grass Harp."

Several of the original cast are featured. Wish the whole show had been filmed. But it's good to have this.

That's pretty cool!

People we don't mention?  Sites we don't name? 

This is starting to sound like attending the annual Talkin Broadway "we reserve the right to only accept the people we want, white sheet and swastika optional" party

That's only if you're one of Hitler's Children, Fred.

Really Jack, I would have said Alan Arkin.

Back from a three-hour wine dinner. Quite wonderful and I'm sure to miss some sleep tonight in order to catch up with everything before bed.

Best course was tamarind-lacquered duck breast with carrot and ginger confit. Best flavor was a piece of braised rhubarb served alongside lamb.

Five course plus apps, ChasSmith. I think I could have matched your appetite tonight. Oh, how I love my hobby.

[John G.]

I'll choose Seth Rogan.

I really shouldn't say this about another Western Washington boy (not to mention The Christ), but Jim Caviezel isn't a very good actor.

Did you sit through his golf movie?

OK, can we move this on?

One more.
