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

Well, I really need to go to sleep now. My niece wants to go to the drive-in, if the movie she wants to see (I forget which) is pkaying. I guess they only update their website each Friday, but not right at midnight. It hasn't been updated yet, as of THIS post.

So...good night and have a good day, all!

The fire alarm keeps going off. The first time we exited the building. I believe the fire department is here and we are back in our room.

I have lost all sense of time. Every day seems to be exactly like the other, and I do not like that at all.

I had to read Intruder in the Dust in high school. Horrible introduction to Faulkner, especially with the 75-page sermon toward the end. The movie was championed by Pauline Kael, if I recall correctly, but I don’t recall much about it except it has the boy from The Yearling in it, Claude Jarman Jr.

I’m ushering tonight for William Shatner, who is hosting a showing of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Thank you DR TCB.

I wonder if all these people waiting for the 5:00 shuttle had intended to take it. Originally we were going to take the 6:00 shuttle.

I felt bad for the couple with the cute toddler we passed in the hall. The boy had a big beautiful smile. When I asked, yes he had done some major screaming when the alarms went off. I don’t blame him

I like ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW....I think I watched it first on TCM after it was discussed here....or I watched in on TCM and THEN it was discussed here.

Yes the score is cool, man, cool.

I didn't know The Swingle Singers stayed active and as prolific for as long as they did. That first iconic album, Bach's Greatest Hits, was issued around 1963. I bought it and wore my first copy of it down as quickly as Mary Poppins and West Side Story and other personal landmarks at that time. I clearly remember its impact. It was a sensation, not to use the word lightly, especially among our high school choral department where we also played that record to death at every chance. Our wonderful director also loved it and she eventually got us the SATB arrangement of the signature "Bouree" which at some point we performed. I might even have phonographic evidence of that.

I keep conflating the Swingle Singers with the 1980s group Swing Out Sister.

Oh my god. According to my little film collection database, I still have Odds Against Tomorrow on an off-the-air VHS tape. Oy!

Well, it did sound familiar, if only vaguely so.

This is amazing if true (I'll have to go down and look), because I only have some two dozen VHS tapes left out of the few hundred I'd originally accumulated.
