I checked them. I've ordered a little too much over the last week from several sources, so I need to take a break from spending.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" that I saw last night in IMAX 3-D was great! You don't need to know anything about Harry Potter to understand the movie. They mention Dumbledore and Hogwarts once each (I think), and they explain the term "muggles," but otherwise, it was an independent story set after The Great War (WWI). The special effects were very good, of course, and the acting was really good, too. The only problem that I had was that Eddie Redmayne tended to mumble a bit. Everyone else ennunciated well, but Eddie had some moments that were difficult to understand. Otherwise, I recommend it.

"When should a performer feel complimented about a smattering of boos for his character during the curtain call? When the role is mean Mr. Potter, played to a tee by Tom Birkeland. Being successfully and relentlessly bad is a challenge. Mr. Birkeland's turn as Old Man Potter was exceptionally well done."

Great review, Tom. Thanks, Fred, for posting it.

Major bout of insomnia last night. Honestly, I think when this happens I should just get up and do something.

And me? I'm innocent. I'm quite sure the cup of black coffee I enjoyed with some pumpkin pie at 8 pm had nothing to do with it.

Got some running around to do this morning, and a tree to decorate this evening.

Vixmom: Sadly, the true Christmas spirit exemplified by the aluminum tree with musical turning base and color wheel has to be limited to those years when it can be displayed in a room with controlled access as regards the feline population.

I have a quite day planned: my exercises, some writing, very little. Tomorrow my schedule picks up.

I had a long recurring dream last night, but I remember none of it now.

My dream, whatever in the hell it was, was completely underscored by Mr. Loesser's "Baby, It's Cold Outside".

elmore3003 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 27, 2016, 06:16:31 AM »

Great review, DR TCB!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** November 27, 2016, 06:22:52 AM »

Speaking of Messrs. Loesser, the other day I downloaded all the Arthur Loesser talks I could find. I'd heard a couple of them, but there were a few others to be discovered. They're wonderful in their own right, but I was overwhelmed at how much they brought back in memories of the man himself -- not only his way of speaking and describing something, but the mannerisms and all that good stuff that makes a person so wonderfully unique.

In America, this touching film of haunted lives in Hell's Kitchen, was as wonderful last night as it was the week before. The little Bolger sisters are amazing as Christy and Ariel and Paddy Considine and Samantha Morton, the parents haunted by the death of their son, are heartbreaking. Perhaps it's too many memories of dead friends and so many memorial services that affects me, but Djimon Hounsou as the dying Mateo haunts me. His relationship with Ariel is so beautifully written and played.

I watched the opening episode of WESTWORLD last night on HBO.

Very well done, good cast, but the storyline is rather convoluted.

Anybody else watching this? Your thoughts?

I watched the deleted scenes without commentary ;ast night, so I think I'll wath them with commentary today.

I don't know how I missed it when it was released! I found it on my Paddy Considine movie search. I liked his performance in The Suspicions of Mr Whicher so much that I wanted to see more of his work. He's in Hot Fuzz, and I loved that comedy.

Lots of music discussion which is most enjoyable. I certainly enjoy "The Planets", but I am not audiophile enough to appreciate many versions of it.....
