Well, I must get some things accomplished today.

Yesterday was a wash, having spent much of it in the wilds of New Jersey.  But it was great seeing a couple of friends, and "GOG" is, well, something else indeed.  I must be one of the few who never saw this one, or if I did, the memories are lost among countless others of bad prints of B movies on black-and-white TV.  But no matter.  The boys have done an unbelievable job restoring the 3-D (which apparently just about nobody saw back in the day) and the color (likewise, as it was mostly seen in poor B&W prints).

Very strange movie, with its own sort of hypnotic pace, and not what many people will expect coming to it for the first time.  But it's a hoot in its own way, and it looks like a million dollars now.  Bob had just installed his first HD projector, and we watched it projected on a ten-foot screen.

GOG is an ancestor of HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey......  It must have been something in 3-D!!!

That's Doris Dowling's sister Constance as the heroine......who married the producer of GOG two days after they finished filming and retired from "acting."

I had an easy trek to the post office. The snow is melting rather quickly and so far I have encountered no really huger puddles.  I will, but I've been lucky so far.

DR TCB - if your iPad doesn't seem to be connected to WiFi even though the icon is lit, just shut the iPad down - all the way - and re-start, that should solve the problem.

I've decided that once I finish my BBC mystery kick, I'm going to tackle most of the Shakespeare plays on DVD; I know I'll most likely never see a live production of The Winter's Tale or Pericles, but I can die happy without ever seeing another Julius Caesar.

Sounds like fun. I did see both Winter's Ztale and Pericles, Prince of Tyre as a teen at the local Shakespeare  in the park, but the only history they did was Richard II, so the histories are my big gap.

I just got the Ian Mackellen King Lear from the library.

There's a wonderful King Lear on DVD with Ian Holm as Lear and my friend Finbar Lynch as Edmund.  I like a lot of the 1983 Olivier broadcast but he gets awfully cuddly and cute at times.  The weird one is the Peter Brook film with Paul Scofield, which I remember as being very bleak with so many cuts it's more like "Scenes from King Lear."

I really want to see this production. Ian McKellan and Ian Richardson spent a delightful afternoon with me, John McGlinn, the London Sinfonietta, and the usual suspects recording Babes In Toyland in London, June 2001. He was such a wonderful person and the two Ians were really wonderful together, joking between takes about their over-the-top villainy.

I also got Mr. Holmes, so I have an Ian Mackellen double feature for whenever I have a free five hours or so.
