I had ZORBA score dreams at various times during the night.

They weren't horrible, but the repetitions were slightly annoying.

They were just a level or two above being caught in a C#m7 to F#m trap.

I've got the furnace and A/C people coming out this afternoon to say their annual incantations over the furnace and A/C, so this morning I must do a little more cleaning up in that part of the basement to give them a clear path and better work room.

Which half is sour?

A question for the ages. Fortunately, I guessed right and it was the half I ate.

I disliked Unbreakable because the set up was there almost from the start.

The Village I knew what the twist was without even seeing the film. A friend who saw it confirmed it for me.

Michael · « **Reply #12 on:** May 11, 2015, 05:22:53 AM »

It wasn't a movie but

The final moments of Act One of Deathtrap.

I wonder if a play like Deathtrap would even work today because the plot twist would be all over social media in a matter of seconds

PS I know there was a film version, but the big thing was that Cain and Reeves kissed. And I hated how they changed the ending of the story for the film.

Good Morning. It feels like a Monday.

Thanks for the moving vibes George.

We could have purchased a parking space in our building for $15,000, For now we have 2 spots, 1 car.

TOD:

THE SIXTH SENSE
THE VILLAGE
THE HOMESMAN (the twist comes at the 2/3 mark)
There is also a surprise twist at the end of FARGO (the TV series) that took me by surprise.

Best Wishes and Vibes, just in case I don't have a chance to say it again.

Four more days for us.

Druxy · « **Reply #18 on:** May 11, 2015, 05:46:45 AM »

We watched FATHER GOOSE last night.

Great fun. Holds up very well.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #19 on:** May 11, 2015, 05:47:34 AM »

As a young'un, as soon as I discovered TWILIGHT ZONE (in its first season), I was "all over" stories with twist endings as that was part of the TZ appeal for me then. (Of course there was so much more, as I would come to appreciate more and more over the years.) HITCHCOCK PRESENTS was great that way, too.

I, too, was thrilled by THE SIXTH SENSE and, yes, watched it a second time to look for cheating. For some reason I never followed up by seeing UNBREAKABLE. I did watch THE VILLAGE, and was completely unsurprised by the ending, at which point I gave up on M. Night.

I've always felt very fortunate to have seen the original SLEUTH on a college visit to NYC. I think I still have the Playbill with the bios of all five actors. Loved that.

Good morning, all! I slept late and now I'm running abut like a headless chicken in my grandmother's yard. In an hour or so, I must head down to 59th Street for my ultrasound, and at 1:00 I meet a friend for lunch. When I get home, I've got laundry to fret over, and I have t type out my notes of fixes for the Moross edits of yesterday and to write out the piano fixes.

Moross writes his piano parts on three staves as a short score for orchestration, and it often needs to be reduced to two staves for publication.

Monday morning greetings! Last minute prep today for AAUW Middletown's end-of-year meeting, which features introduction of our scholarship recipients and - drumroll, please - installation of officers. I will be very glad to pass this responsibility on to Nita.

I also need time to put away all these books I dragged home yesterday.

Thank you again, DR ChasSmith! Thanks to our wonderful host BK, I have formed some wonderful friendships on this here site.

DR JOHN G - Vivian Leigh was originally cast in ELEPHANT WALK - and in some of the jungle and process shots you can see her clearly. She had a hard time on location and was replaced with Elizabeth Taylor who was not happy about having to wear Leigh's clothes to match what had already been shot.

Leigh sued Paramount for using the footage of her in the finished film and received quite a settlement.

TOD:
I'm sure I've seen many movies with plot twists, but it's so hard to think of them at the spur of the moment. The only one that comes to mind is "Sliding Doors" with Gwyneth Paltrow, which was pretty good film. Actually, the whole thing is really a lot of twists and turns.
Last night Mark and I went to see the little production of "Sweeny Todd" at the El Portel. And I guess that has a plot twist at the end too with discovering the true identity of the beggar woman.

I have just been informed what time I need to be at the hospital.

I will have to leave my home at 4:45am to arrive at the hospital for 5:30am. I am scheduled to be the first operation.

I will not be taking my laptop with me. I will just have my phone with me.

I signed up for twitter and will be posting updates that way.
