Good Day all:

I agree BK, North by Northwest, Best Years of Our Lives, and Umbrellas of Cherbourg, I also can watch over and over again.

DR ChasSmith - I think you can get the same thing without having to go to the UK: http://goo.gl/Ehh6SO

"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" is being shown this evening on one of the French satellite TV channels which I can receive. I'll be watching it to see what the picture quality is like. I was fortunate to see the film when it was first released theatrically. It was also one of the very first soundtracks I bought.

Oh man, it's a jungle out there, searching through DRAGON TATTOO listings.
BK, is this the Blu-ray set that's the one to get?

No need to get the import unless it's cheaper than the US version, which is here:

I'm up - got up at ten-thirty after nine hours or more of blessed sleep.

Umbrellas is finally coming to Blu-ray in November, newly restored by the same folks who did Young Girls, which was excellent. The last "restoration" was overseen by the Demy widow, Agnes Varda and it was horrible. But I've seen a couple of clips of this new one and it looks like it just might be what we've been waiting for.

The UK release of DRAGON TATTOO came to $29 USD including the shipping, as opposed to $42 for the US, so I gave the nod to DR Doug's economy for this one.

I'm am hoping I am officially finished with all of the printing and adjusting of ROBERTA, and I can go on to the DEAREST ENEMT fixes. which should take me the next couple of weeks. I'd like to finish before I head off to Dublin. We'll see.

How about...................

What is the ONE film you can watch over and over and never get tired of watching it?

I think it used to be THE WIZARD OF OZ until I loaned my copy to the Welfare Office to entertain the kiddies in the waiting room. The receptionists preceded to show it three or four times a day, for over a year.

Now the film I can watch over and over again is THE COURT JESTER. What a perfect film with wonderful performances from everyone involved.

Well the French TV showing of "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" turned out to be the 1990 restoration, same as the Kock Lorber DVD, so it didn't look very good. But I'm certainly looking forward to the new French Blu-ray.

I started watching the first couple of episodes of Season 1 of TORCHWOOD last night at about 10:00 p.m. Fortunately my ipad's battery was getting very low, or I probably would have kept watching all night.

Nick woke me at around seven to get his breakfast. After that, I went back to bed and slept straight through until 10:30.

TCB · « **Reply #48 on:** July 28, 2013, 12:48:16 PM »

It was very strange this morning. I am almost always a side sleeper, but this moring when I went back to bed I was on my back Although I am usually a restless sleeper, I was still in the exact same position when I woke up.

TCB · « **Reply #49 on:** July 28, 2013, 12:49:12 PM »

And apparently I didn't snore this morning, becasue Nick was curled up on the bed with me.

Aw shucks, it's nothing. Go ahead and celebrate. It's on me. Throw another coal on the fire!

Sunday afternoon greetings! I met Rob and Mary Linda at their church for the 10:30 service, after which they followed me home. We regrouped here and went over to the local Greek church for lunch. It's their annual festival, which is always fun and tasty. We visited the bakery on the way out and each got one item to have with coffee when we got home. I still have half of mine for later.

Okay, we really need to get out of the end of July doldrums or there will be hell toupee.

I've been relaxing and watching amusing things online, such as the dealer who was trying to get 6200 for a signed Cuckoo's Calling lowering his price to 5400 - he won't sell at that either, not right now. The stupid frenzy has to end in order for people to not just think there will be endless copies available everywhere - there really aren't, but that's kind of the appearance. That same dealer also lowered his unsigned copy price to under 3000 - that won't sell either. One just went on eBay of 1800, and that may be a new high for unsigned but we'll have to watch other copies to see where they end up.

I really liked this show. I think I'd read that they're going to make another season.

My mom volunteers at the local senior center and some posted a notice that they needed host families for the teachers. My mom volunteered. And I didn't remember correctly. Sue (the English name she goes by) is actually Chinese, not Japanese and she's not taking classes, she's actually teaching beginning Chinese to students here in the US. Anyway, she's very nice and she does speak and understand English very well.

I chuckled over all the changes in the story

It still is interesting and I expect should be a very enjoyable experience.
