Well, you've read the notes, the notes were collaborative, and now it is time for you to post until the collaborating cows come home.

First post after BK!

And now, bed time.

Have a good day, all!

First on the east coast?

vixmom · « **Reply #5 on:** April 09, 2018, 04:37:35 AM »

Actually I guess strictly speaking I'm not on the east coast, I'm floating east of the east coast

I want to go back to sleep

Good morning, all!

First thing this morning, I fed the kitties and the birds. Then I put the laundry into the washers. I had panned to do it today, but the vacuum cleaner mess yesterday made it imperative to accomplish it soon.

I think Annabelle's angry with me for stepping out without her. I've tried to explain that I didn't do our morning patrol, but she won't listen.

DR JohnG, I loved that Dain Curse production. Isn't it from the 1970s? My memory is that the young actress was a soap opera person trying to break out of soaps. I went through two phases where I read all of Hammett's novels, in the mid-1960s and again in the 1980s when I worked at The Drama Book Shop.

I'm thinking I may see Love, Simon today. Tomorrow is Annabelle's dental work. I will deliver her tomorrow morning at 8:30, but I have no idea when I will need to pick her up. Once I get her home, I will stay close until I know she's okay.

THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES:

I think I saw that awhile back. But, after viewing the trailer on imdb, I have no real memory of the film.

Sadly, that's happening a lot to me lately. I rediscover movies I've forgotten that I've just seen months before.

Not the good ones...few as they are. Just the mediocre ones.

Of course, once I get into it, I recall I've seen it, though I don't remember how it ends.

Happened recently with Russell Crowe's THE NICE GUYS and Ben Affleck's LIVE BY NIGHT.

BK, where will the South Pacific be?

Did you know about this West Side Story at USC (which just closed!)? I’d heard about it when somebody said the orchestration was the original, and all L.A. pros. Scroll down for photos.

T.O.D.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #17 on:** April 09, 2018, 06:04:00 AM »

Well, not quite the original. Three violins, one cello, and synth? I played that book once. Ugh.

Hell of a web page, though, with an incredible array of pictures and a link to the full Playbill.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #18 on:** April 09, 2018, 06:09:17 AM »

Today I’m off to the Big Apple to see a couple of 3D films at MoMA. These will be hosted by my 3D Archive pals (the group that restores these for digital presentation) on Home Theater Forum. Been there, done it before, and it’s always a great time.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 09, 2018, 06:12:57 AM »

I've never liked Kidman much. She always looks to me like she just smelled a really bad fart.

I did like her in The Others and To Die For.

That was it. I read up on the starlet. She did a few soaps but died far too young from a rare form of cancer.

I may reread the novel while on vacation.

Me too. I finally fell asleep around 4:30. Now I have a headach.

About time for me to be getting out of here and catching a train.

Not a film, but I loved Nicole Kidman in Big Little Lies. I recently saw Julia Roberts in Wonder and liked her and the film very much.

I forgot to mention, but the huge snowstorm that we were supposed to get on Friday never happened. We got less than 1 cm of snow. Now I just have my fingers crossed that we will not get anymore snow this season. I suspect we will still get traces of snow. But I hope it's always less than 1 cm and that it melts right away.

Jane · « **Reply #28 on:** April 09, 2018, 08:14:49 AM »

Congrats on missing the snowstorm.
