Boy, was her voice wonderful back then. Still is great, but that was fun.

DR JOHN G  - now and then I watch some of the SyFy Channel's original movies.  They are really jaw-dropping in every department.

I feel the same way about MANY of the Hammer Films, DR DOUG R....but there are a couple that I really like....

Curse of the Werewolf
Brides of Dracula
The Mummy


Dont forget that Plague of the Zombies, DR JRand...or was that not a Hammer film?


My favorite Hammer horror is their version of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. I also like CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and BRIDES OF DRACULA. It has been such a long time since I have seen any of the others.

Oh my I'm full.   Fuji Bay for lunch and La Fiesta Charra for dinner.  I thought we'd have a quiet relaxed dinner at La Fiesta Charra, little did I know I would be wearing a sombrero while the wait staff sang to me in Spanish.  It was a hoot

TOD:

CD: downloaded from Amazon.com three different Diljit Dosanjh cds. I love him and I love his music!

DVD: Just watched a completely delightful Indian film titled Gangoobai. It is a new release and is about a poor, elderly widow who, for four years, saves enough money and then travels to Mumbai to buy herself a very beautiful, handmade sari, the kind that she had always dreamed of owning. A feel good movie all the way. I highly recommend it, but you will want to have kleenex handy.


Here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xffmIUSXoB4

Speaking of POLTERGEIST (sort of), I am amazed to find out over the years how many friends are terrified of clowns.  Not just dislike clowns, or freaked out by them; but rather pure terror!  I have a friend who is a prison guard.  He could take on any criminal in prison or out, but show him a clown and he is scared to death.

My brother hates clowns, don't know if he's terrified or not, but he hates them.

Well, I must get busy on a few things because I need to be ready to drive over to Phoenixville, PA - home of THE BLOB - this afternoon to take in some BLOBFEST.  The annual "run-out" is tonight, which always sells out but I grabbed tickets this time, and tomorrow will be spent enjoying the small-town street fair and other events at the WONDERFUL Colonial Theatre.

http://thecolonialtheatre.com/category/events/blobfest/

So, I shall be E&T through the day but will check in late this evening and first thing in the morning.

Are we talking the original THE BLOB, or the remake?  I must confess that I have never seen either one.

DR TCB - today is also Cheyene's birthday. I expect you'll be busting out of his cake.





Nope, not since he got the restraining order.

Original BLOB, right where it was filmed.

Lo-o-ong trip here, horrible traffic on the NJT, slower than BK's old modem.  But the evening was great.

DR Jane, I'm not ignoring your question about Zimmerman, but not sure I want to stir things up.  I guess I'll just say that from what I've seen, it isn't clear what was actually happening right before the gun was fired.  I think there is a reasonable doubt because the prosecution didn't tell us what happened.  I think the right verdict based on the evidence is not guilty, I think the jury could compromise and come back with manslaughter

Well, we've been home a week, so it's time to start planning another trip - NYC, November 10-16!

Excellent, DR Ginny!  HHW-NYC get-together?

Hmmmm, I'm planning to go see A TIME TO KILL sometime this fall.  May have to check into going that weekend.  It opens October 20


Cilla, is this the same plot as the book?  And has Mr. Holmes written other non-musicals?

It is totally from the book, he has never seen the movie. It has to do with having the rights to the book but not the movie or something like that.  I'm sure it's been tweaked since it was in DC, but maybe DR FJL can tell you more, he saw it there.

Yes, he wrote ACCOMPLICE, SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, THUMBS and SAY GOODNIGHT GRACIE...that may be all of the non-musicals that were produced, not sure.  He's currently working on the book for SECONDHAND LIONS that will be at Seattle's 5th Ave Theater from September 10- Oct 6.  It's a musical.  I guess I should say he's been working on the book for years and is getting ready for the production.
