This is for ChasSmith and anyone missing the comfort of an old-fashioned ice cream soda. Wish I could share the refreshmentt with you. I used the cherry ice cream I made yesterday:

Hello, everyone.

It's a cool, overcast day here in LA. Not to some people's liking, but it is to mine.

LOL! I thought you meant is was cool and overcast in Louisiana!

The violence in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is nothing compared to really violent films - nothing you haven't seen before and nothing terrible.

Also, Jrand, while the film and English translation of the first book is The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the Swedish title actually translates to Men Who Hate Women, which is what the book is kind of about.

I disagree about the violence being "nothing you haven't seen before and nothing terrible". Maybe I don't watch a lot of violent movies. But shooting someone that is obviously fake feels different to me than watching a woman being brutally/graphically raped or someone being brutally tortured.

I suspect you've seen very few violent movies. And I think what you're talking about is not shown graphically and I think your mind creates more than is there - this is a phenomenon that's been going on forever with violent movies. When I saw Psycho as a twelve year old, believe me I thought that knife had cut Janet Leigh to ribbons and that every puncture was shown in graphic detail over and over with scads of blood. The reality is you see none of that but through editing and inference you think you're seeing much more than you are. There's nothing pleasant about the scenes you're describing and that's as it should be. But there is far more that's disturbing on screen in Silence of the Lambs than there is in Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Back from Joan Ryan's show. She is uber talented and a wonderful singer. But I didn't love her new act and for very specific reasons and the two people I was with felt even stronger than I did that the show just didn't land right. But since every other person in the club was a friend or family member she'll hear only great things - and that's fine.

The dog days of July that's what this last week has turned into.

Sometimes I feel like page seven.

But we barely got to page six so it's a long way to seven. I think I'll try to write the notes early and schedule them so I can get six or seven hours of sleep before arising at six in the morning.

I just bought tickets to see the new musical version of "Secondhand Lions" in Seattle at the 5th Avenue Theatre, with book by Cillaliz's close and personal friend, Rupert Holmes!

Yes, that was a great sale on tickets for $29.00.

TCB · « **Reply #161 on:** July 28, 2013, 10:23:22 PM »

You are correct, BK.

TCB · « **Reply #162 on:** July 28, 2013, 10:24:16 PM »

It is indeed a long way to Page Seven.

TCB · « **Reply #163 on:** July 28, 2013, 10:25:42 PM »

It would be nice if the 2 Guests would help post.

TCB · « **Reply #164 on:** July 28, 2013, 10:26:32 PM »

But I doubt that will happen.

Sundays are supposed to be free for all days, where we suggest the topics.

TCB · « **Reply #166 on:** July 28, 2013, 10:28:37 PM »

I offered one possible topic this morning, but not one person responded.

TCB · « **Reply #167 on:** July 28, 2013, 10:29:36 PM »

If people didn't like my topic, that's fine. Other topics could have been suggested.

TCB · « **Reply #168 on:** July 28, 2013, 10:30:47 PM »

The busiest posting days, other than awards days, are the ones where we get going on a topic

TCB · « **Reply #169 on:** July 28, 2013, 10:33:22 PM »

But not one response to my suggestion, or one suggestion from anyone else.

No wonder BK gets frustrated.

G'night!

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.

1776. I love this movie and I love the extended laserdisc version, no matter what anyone says.

It was...of course, there's a $7 PER TICKET charge, so they're not $29, but they're still cheaper than the normal price.

I've scheduled the notes and shall now open the new topic even though we have not reached page seven, which is most unseemly.

I think you can see that this discussion board is messing with our minds. How can we still be on page six?
