DR George, we too enjoy THE LAST SHIP and FALLING SKIES.  Are you watching STRAIN or EXTANT?

I'm feeling somewhat more lifelike today.

I was just about to ask-glad you are recovering even if it isn't as fast as you would like.

DR Elmore, he worked 4 midnights in a row the week between Lauren's wedding and the move and said that was a bit much.  He and Mary Linda didn't see much of each other that week.

When Keith was in school and worked nights often we would only see each other sleeping, or grunting a hello.  In retrospect those days were much easier than the long stretches he would travel for work.

It was kind of weird to sit at the breakfast table drinking coffee (me), tea (Richard), and beer (Rob).

Went to see DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES this weekend...loved every minute of it! Quite a good film.

The moral of the story, however, which has been the center of countless war films, westerns, science fiction films, etc., is something that man-kind still cannot seem to grasp. Sadly.

Got Rachel Portman's opera of a The Little Prince in the background. It's ok, but I prefer Lerner and Loewe.

Afterward, I began to watch the first PLANET OF THE APES film on Amazon.com streaming. Got through 15 minutes of it when it would no longer load. I must remember to get Comcast to replace my modem, and soon!

I'm with y'all on these sequels:

The Godfather II and III
French Connection II
Aliens (I can enjoy the last two films, too, though good sequels, let alone great movies, they are not)
Back to the Future II and III

I know there are others, but they aren't coming to mind.  Certainly there are worthy ones from the Universal and Hammer horror days, and from a few other "franchises" of various stripes.

In general, though, nowadays, the word "sequel" carries about as bad a connotation as "remake".

The next time I am asked to talk to students about a life in the performing arts, I will tell them: never take a job from someone you suspect is an asshole. It's better to learn it after things are signed.  I have to be at Toyland by 8:00am tomorrow morning, which means leaving here around 7:00. Goddam.

A big whopping "Oy!" to DR Elmore.  And:

TOYLAND VIBES!

If, after tomorrow, you can use some impromptu help in packing and carrying loads, I can do it.  (Tomorrow I've got the car dealership and a couple of other annoying things.)

Tomorrow, I have to deal with the foundation's paralegal and the crew moving the McGlinnventory to the LoC. I plan to start packing myself out of there as soon after as possible.

Criterion's THE ESSENTIAL JACQUES DEMY.


Picked mine up on pre-order during the recent online sale, and can't wait for it to be delivered!        :)

Mine arrived yesterday (from the B&N sale, natcherly).

I will indeed be playing Banjo in THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, which is fine.  I only wish Sheridan was being played by someone I really liked.....onstage OR off.....
