Someone is talking about a musical of Psycho on castrecl.

Is it worth linking BK's Psycho musical episode in Outside the Box on castrecl?

And the word of the day is: RAREFIED!

And The Song Of The Day Is:  YOU'RE THE TOP

Off to dinner with Lidia Bastianich. Too bad I'm still not on my best as far as food goes. I'll probably be done after the first course.

Don't overeat and get sick.  Maybe only eat a little of each course.

Giada de Laurentiis says, "After 3 bites, you know what it tastes like."

And a Jewish mother would say "It ain;t over until the plate is clean."

And the Jewish mother is a winner. The food was outrageously good. Family-style Italian. Who could refuse?

Summer and Smoke, DR Jane.

We were sitting outside and it would have been a perfect summer evening except for the smoke.  At least it is still better than it had been.

Summer and Smoke, DR Jane. 

Sounds about right .

We just finished watching an episode oh Jack Benny that looked more like an episode from Burns and Allen

I just read that region 2 DVDs can be played on a computer. It's the first I've heard of that. I thought they could ONLY be played on a multi-region player for those of us in the US or Canada. DR Doug, of course, can play them. Is this true? Has anyone tried it?

A computer DVD is set up to play either region 1 or 2 discs. If the wrong region disc is inserted a notice will pop up on the computer screen asking if you wish to change the region setting. You can change the region but it only allows you to change the region a few times after which the drive will be permanently set for that region.

However there are software programs which will enable a computer to play any region.  I use AnyDVD which works perfectly.

Nice article about your dad & brother.

Night everyone.

I did see Romeo & Juliet last night at the Rubicon. 

Night everyone.

A week ago I mentioned that the French TV channel TV5, which is available in the UK, showed THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG. Today they showed Jacques Demy's later follow-up all-singing film UNE CHAMBRE EN VILLE which I'd never seen before. The film was poorly received and wasn't widely distributed but what a great shame because, having just seen it, I thought it was really superb. Like, UMBRELLAS, it features an all-consuming love affair but is set against a workers' industrial dispute and is wholly more dramatic as well as a more operatic film and also a much bolder one. The beautiful Dominique Sanda (sung by Florence Davis) gives a particularly good performance. Next Sunday the channel is showing Demy's LES DEMOISELLES DE ROCHEFORT which I've never seen either.

I hadn't realised when I wrote that, that the soundtrack of UNE CHAMBRE EN VILLE was one of the earliest Kritzerland releases.

Back from a wonderful show - everyone was great and almost no lyric fumfers - literally just a couple in one song, and I kind of got tripped up on one lyric in Ya Got Trouble - really minor, though and I don't think anyone noticed much - just went to the wrong word but got right back on track.

I didn't know about AnyDVD.  My computer can change five times.  It's set to 1, but if I change it to 2, then 1, then 2 then 1 then 2, then it's stuck on 2 forever.  I think I'd have to reinstall the operating system to reset the player back to 1.

THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG is going to broadcast on TCM on next Monday.
