Well, you've read the notes, the notes wore a hair shirt, and now it is time for you to post until the hair shirt-wearing cows come home.

Second?

Good morning, all.

Good morning. I am awaiting a tap at my door.

Has anyone seen the series called Dolly & Em? It is a six part that showed on HBO Canada. I presume it is/was on HBO in the US. A mixture of people playing themselves and actors playing other roles. Emily Mortimer is playing herself doing a movie and her best friend Dolly is her PA.

The other day, DR Sandra took a pain pill for a wisdom tooth extraction. She said when she woke up after a great nap, she had the word "Autopsy-turvy" stuck in her head.

We think this would be a great song title.

I watched NON-STOP. Everyone did a nice job - I thought I knew who the culprit was, but I was wrong.

As DR DRUXY wrote yesterday, the ending was a bit much....but since I like Liam Neeson, I sort of liked the movie. But I never have to see it again.

It's Wednesday; I know that much. Well, I think I know that much.

I am having one of these myself on Thursday. I hope I get a song title out of the whole affair.

I do not like the whole idea of a hair shirt. I do not like it, Sam I Am.

I am reading on the Internet that Meryl Streep is to play Maria Callas in a film adaptation of Terrence McNally's Master Class for HBO.

Good morning, all! I have nothing to do today and I slept in. I had a disturbing dream but I can remember none of it.

Last night DR Jane wrote:
What a shame after all the trouble you went through to pick up the old spare set.

I didn't pick up the keys because I needed them; I picked them up to close the relationship. My home is no longer theirs.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 18, 2014, 05:44:50 AM »

So, there's been no word from the super, DR vixmom. That will happen later today or tomorrow. If he's heard from the landlord, which I suspect will be today, I suspect he will take a day to calm down before talking to me. He's gto a temper, and I also spoke about that to the landlord.

FARGO ended well last night.

I hope there isn't a second season.

It's not that I don't want the surviving actors to have work, it's just that less is more.

Or, as Milton Berle would say, "Always leave 'em laughing."

A DR mentioned the movie 12 Years a Slave. I watched this a few weeks ago and really liked it. I was okay watching it. But I then watched the Butler a couple of days later. And both of those together were a bit hard to watch.

bk, since you seem to be addicted to watching bad thrillers lately, I'd love for you to watch Grand Piano [2014] and get your reaction to it.

Last night I popped in THE INNOCENTS, but stupidly started way too late to get all the way through it, so tonight I'll back up to wherever it was I began nodding off and finish it.

I never read the James novella, so will do that soon. I'd also like to get back in touch with Britten's opera. They did it when I was in school, but that one wasn't a piece I was studying, and all I retain is the vaguest memory of playing the celesta behind the set.

I haven't seen many of the DVDs of the Britten opera, but I did like this one from the BBC very much. My friend Diana Montague (our Madame Roberta) plays Mrs Grose. There was a Czech film made in the 1980s with actors miming to the Colin Davis-Phillips recording that used to show on A&R when it was still an Arts channel and I thought it was creepy and evocative.

Criterion just announced that they are coming out with a new Blu-Ray/DVD version of THE INNOCENTS in September.

Wednesday morning greetings! After being out in the heat yesterday, both in the morning and early evening, I crashed very early. Lots of puttering to do the rest of the week...

I surprised myself and made about 1:45 into 12 Years as a Slave. I'll hopefully have time to watch the last half hour tonight.

I heard it was horrible, but I'm actually kinda interested in seeing Tim Rice's From Here to Eternity, which will be shown in theaters this fall:

I haven't seen it yet, DR Druxy, so I can't say. But since it appears to have been released direct to video, it can't be too great. Hence, it fits into bk's current viewing pattern.
