Just a word about THE ITALIAN JOB. Veddy, veddy British in tone and texture - droll, wry, fun. The chase that concludes the picture was staged obviously to out-do the one in BULLIT, but, of course, it was outdone by the ones in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER and THE FRENCH CONNECTION. Nice little twist ending. Glad I've finally seen it.

Next one up to bat: MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE which I hope won't take me two weeks to watch like THE ITALIAN JOB did.

Oh, and courtesy of a scan by Dear Cast Member, Paul Haber, here's the post card for the show:

Wowee, wow, wow, wow!  Terrific poster!  I love the cast, I love the poses, I love the colors, I love the funky font!  I'm going to try to print out my own copy tomorrow at work on our color laser printer.

Yes, I liked the post card for the show very much, too. Very alluring come-on for the show and should generate mucho ticket sales.

Has this weekend flown by or what? I can't remember a weekend in a long time that just whizzed by. I mean, I got a terrific amount of stuff done today, and I guess that's why it seems today has flown, but the ENTIRE weekend has.

Got motivated and saw The Manchurian Candidate about which I'll have plenty to say in tomorrow's notes.  It's not a disaster or anything, it's just a victim of the way they do movies these days.

I know nothing about this new Manchurian Candidate, but I can't help envisioning that the last fifteen minutes is a knockdown, dragout, hand-to-hand battle between Denzil Washington and Meryl Streep.  Probably doesn't end that way, though...

Speaking of the big picture, take a look at this.

I will only say this at this time: The Manchurian Candidate actually has something resembling a happy ending.

Where in tarnation IS everyone.  This is the third time I've shown up and no one is here.  You'd think there were lepers around these here parts.

I was taping Tiger Cruise -- then I realized that Six Feet Under was coming on, so I stopped taping TC and watched SFU. Does this mean I'm not loyal to myself? The ultimate betrayal.

I'm sure you can find some mindless DVD to watch or you can take Abie's Irish Rose out and do mindless things in Studio City.

Well, for the past hour and a half I was watching "Tiger Cruise"...  Having been a Coast Guard brat, and having my father away for months at a time while I was growing up... Having grown up in the D.C. area...  Having been to NYC many times - and loving NYC...  Having had to deal with trying to reach my family on 9/11 - my family who lives in the DC area...  The movie hit close to home for me on many levels.  In fact, I started tearing up when that brief shot of the "old" skyline of New York City flashed by in the opening sequences.

Well done, Panni!

Do you know if The Disney Channel has any plans to release the movie on DVD at a later time?  With some extras? ;)

I at least hope the movie gets shown again closer to the 9/11 anniversary.  And if Disney/Buena Vista was/is smart, they'll show it on ABC as part of the Wonderful World of Disney - or whatever it is called nowadays.  The movie definitely deserves wider exposure and "availability".

Thanks for the nice words, Jose. I think Disney usually releases their movies on DVD. There will probably be a showing close to 9/11 -- that was always the original plan.

DR Panni - You may have mentioned this in previous post, and I may have missed it, but just in case...  Have you worked before with the co-writer for "Tiger Cruise"? - I think Bruce Graham was the name I saw on my TV screen.

Just had to check in.  I'm settled at my sister's and the animals (a dog and a cat) are both lying (laying?) down.  I'm going to watch Ebert and Roeper in a few minutes, then go to bed.  I have to get up at 6:00 a.m.! (!) to let Murphy (the dog) go out and relieve himself.  If I stay awake, I'll try to get to work early so that I can leave early.  I like that part.  Good night all!

Interesting... Were the two of you then assigned different stories, tracks to cover?

Did you know you had a "co-writer"? ;)

No, DR Jose, we weren't assigned different tracks. Yes, I knew about him. It's a long boring story. I explained some of it in a PM to DerBrucer, who also  asked about it. I don't particularly want to go through it again, but he has my okay to share it with you if you want to PM him. This kind of thing happens all the time in our business of show. "Partners" who have never met, that is.

I had NO idea it was midnight! If I were an alcoholic, I could say I'd had a blackout. Can you have a sober blackout? What happened to the last two hours??

Yes, what did happen to the last two hours?  Perhaps that's a long and boring story, too.  Let's hear it.
