td: I was not inferring that you called me grumpy. I called myself that earlier. I shall indeed write about "Carousel" later.  Just before I go out Taxi dancing. (I wish!). I have the phone number if you wish to call a cab. Of course some people have my number too. (almost a "Little Me" reference)

Gosh, where's everybody?

Dancing?

I like your music selection, dear reader Tomovoz!
All titles and artists are unknown of me!
I should go out more often, instead of staying home watching real TV!  (I don't have a TV set!!)

Does that make it cheaper than half the price?

Some truly touching moments on MONK tonight, the season finale. It hasn't been the greatest season for MONK, but I suspect Tony Shalhoub will submit this for his Emmy tape NEXT year.

Passage... (hey, that's French!) to India?
Passage or pas sage (not wise) that's the question, or is it the quest??

I put aside the other DVD I had pulled out for watching tonight (NIGHT & DAY), and put in KING SOLOMON'S MINES instead.

Lousy movie, but boy was I impressed with what a great transfer it was. No, MGM didn't do an anamorphic transfer (I'm sure this was done on the cheap), but the 2.35 letterboxed picture is clear as can be with no artifacts that I spotted. And the Dolby Surround may not be a 5.1 mix, but it's still very effective.
