From yesterday:

Thanks Jennifer, Jane, Fred, Mike and Vixmom. I had a little coughing fit, but I bought some Halls from concessions, which helped.

And ChasSmith, I'll look for the Robitussin DM. I didn't get to the store to get some Ricola.

If you have CVS there, their store brand is called Tussin DM and is WAY cheaper than the name brand. I'd imagine the other big chains have their own, too.

I'm not a fanatic about store brands of everything, but when it comes to, well, "DRUGS", I always check and compare and it's nearly always totally worth going with them.

It's so funny about a name like Martin Ritt. A few months ago you could have said "Martin Ritt" and I would have said, "oh yeah, of course, Martin Ritt, he's, uh, he did...let me think...okay, I forget, remind me what he did, exactly?"

All the years I've loved THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, I could not have told you who directed it. I'm sure I would have started to name somebody, then hesitated and finally realized I was mystified. If I did name the wrong person, I wonder who that would have been.

Thanks to Twilight Time, it was wonderful getting to know THE SOUND AND THE FURY, then revisiting THE LONG HOT SUMMER, a couple of years back. And I'm sure I paid attention to who the director was, but did the name stick, even that recently? Did I make any connections at all with the other films? When I watched THE FRONT, I again recognized his name and reviewed his filmography, but these movies, as wonderful as they all are, did not form in my mind a single unified impression of directorship. Is directorship a word?

Never saw PETE 'n' TILLIE. Never saw NORMA RAE. Never saw SOUNDER. Saw HUD, but that was at least a thousand years ago. Not doing too well here, am I?

Ah, enlightenment. Bring it on, baby.

I have never heard the term "New England boiled dinner" before. But when I googled it there were indeed a lot of pictures.

Happiest of Birthdays to the Darling Daughter of MR BK.

I, too, enjoyed the Harold Lang clip. I have read many things about him....but I had never seen him dance.

At 11:30am I am going to see my niece's swim meet. It is at my winter pool (only 5 minutes away). So that part (and that i am familiar with the pool) is good.

I never heard of "New England Boiled Dinner" to mean what I have always known as "Corned Beef and Cabbage." Or did I misread something?

I would have thought you were talking about a clambake or some such.

Last night's dream, for your Sunday morning reading pleasure:

I was vacuuming this very dirty area of something or other (a floor? table? countertop?), and among the debris was this tiny but ugly little spider. I got him. But there he was again. He wouldn't stay vacuumed. As I made repeated attempts to overcome him with the suction, holding the brush attachment over him, each time he reappeared he grew in size a little. After many attempts he suddenly became this large (maybe four inches long?) object, fortunately not exactly a spider now, but still something to get rid of. I sort of secured it in place (it wasn't moving around much) and went to get [something] that would enable me to get rid of it once and for all.

That sounds like a great way to spend a Sunday!

Really enjoy Harold Lang on the original Kiss Me, Kate as well as his Pal Joey and Make a Wish recordings. Notorious stories about him from Arthur Laurents and more.

And I am home. This is one of those days where the cons outweigh the pros of living in Manhattan and I am quite livid at the moment. I could not get to Toyland without a subway this morning. Since i care as much for the New York Marathon as I do for a non-anaesthetic hemorrhoidectomy, I have no idea what the fat hell a "half marathon" is or why the City allows it to fuck up public transportation and tell no one. As a consequence, I waited at Columbus Circle for nearly an hour wondering why no buses showed up. Finally, a kind policeman whose second language was an indecipherable broken English informed me that a lot of streets were closed off for this cockamamie marathon and, clearly, no M20 or M7 buses were taking me anywhere. I got into a taxi and came home. Thank you, Manhattan. And fuck you.

I also like a lot of Martin Ritt's movies, particularly THE FRONT, NORMA RAE, HOMBRE, HUD and MURPHY'S ROMANCE.

I recall visiting the set of THE MOLLY MAGUIRES. Art Lund was a publicity client.

I'm not sure I'm getting Lady Gaga's theory of "don't sell out" but use corporate sponsorships to "sell in."

She seems to be saying that it's possible to take corporate money for helping to create art, but if that corporate money allows the artists to express themselves, that's "selling in" not selling out.

if I'm interpreting this correctly:
