Well, you've read the notes, the notes weren't making this up, and now it is time for you to post until the not making this up cows come home.

Morning all.

That is all.

Particularly edge-of-your-seat notes today, in particular the review of the film.

And because I'm hooked on the eighties right now, again here's Patti LaBelle and the Solid Gold Dancers

MOVIE OF THE DAY

singdaw · « **Reply #8 on:** June 26, 2014, 04:59:14 AM »

We watched Grand Piano a few nights ago, and howled with disbelief at all of the things bk listed in the notes. No one connected with the film has apparently ever attended a classical music concert, because all of those aspects of the film are entirely divorced from reality. Jaw-dropping, really. And the logistics of the plot make no sense at all.

There's bad, and then there's so bad it is funny. And this movie is definitely the latter.

Wow, DR FJL. Once that clip is seen, it can't be.... ....unseen.

singdaw · « **Reply #10 on:** June 26, 2014, 05:01:55 AM »

I sincerely hope that bk has a less frustrating day today.

Of course, "I'm not making this up, you know!" was one of Anna Russell's taglines.

Good morning, all! I have a quiet morning, completely empty, At some point I need to assemble the materials for tomorrow's ROBERTA session and email Judy to verify tomorrow's schedule.

This afternoon, I am hoping the super will finish up the ceiling. He was in yesterday afternoon and applied more plaster, and it's looking good. I'm hoping he can finish today.

Good morning, all.

From ... Panera Bread.

Where there is plenty of good COFFEE.

Thursday morning greetings! This afternoon I'm meeting with our AAUW program vice-presidents to begin planning the 2014-15 schedule. It's AAUW Middletown's 90th program year, so we better make it a good one!

Thank you to DRs TCB, John G, Laura, and Vixmom for the nice comments about the family photo I posted yesterday!

Thursday....weather wise it is a beautiful day here in my area. Perhaps no rain today....time will tell.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 26, 2014, 07:01:04 AM »

After DR SINGDAW first mentioned GRAND PIANO.....I found it online on one of "those" sites and was able to download it to take a look.

It is everything that is written about in the notes....and more!!!

The Apple

It has been said that free soundtracks to THE APPLE were given away on opening day in Los Angeles....and that the theatre screen was destroyed when audience members began throwing the LP's at the screen during the movie.....

Wow, DR Jrand63 - the film The Apple looks perfectly putrid!

BK, with all of the wonderful films available to watch on Netflix streaming, why in the world do you pick things you know you are not going to enjoy?

You could be watching a Vera Hruba Ralston or Mari Blanchard film, you know!

singdaw · « **Reply #23 on:** June 26, 2014, 07:43:35 AM »

Interesting bit on the "Yo" phone app I have been hearing so much about lately...

I've been kinda wondering the same thing!

(not the second part of DR MBarnum's post, however!)

He probably hopes he's going to see an underrated, undiscovered jewel of a movie.

It happens.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #26 on:** June 26, 2014, 08:00:32 AM »

And no, definitely not the second part of MBarnum's post.

Vera Hruba Ralston and Mari Blanchard, indeed.

One might as well hold a private Hillary Brook festival!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #27 on:** June 26, 2014, 08:01:16 AM »

Coming here sometimes seems just like being at a hootenanny, of which I am certain DR Elmo attended several.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #28 on:** June 26, 2014, 08:01:31 AM »

Or not.
