Well, you've read the notes, the notes were dessert and an island unto themselves, and now it is time for you to post until the island cows come home.

And the word of the day is: MAECENAS!

First post after BK!

I'll certainly have to think about the Topic of the Day. The first two that come to mind are Singin' in the Rain and 1776.

And now, it's time for me to sleep.

Have a good day, all!

I am rather down today. I need something good to happen to kick me out of this financial hole. I am really grateful for the work that Joshie and Rib give me when they can, but these waits on money from How to Succeed . . . eat up whatever money I'll be paid. Ah, cash flow . . . thou art a bitch.

This is another City Center day, and I look forward to getting out of the apartment and my own angst for the day. Rodgers & Hart usually cheer me up.

The bitch art here, too. I know wherefore DR Elmore speaketh.

Got to pay a few ugly bills today. They’re ugly, baby.

My monthly dinner meeting with my director friend is this evening, and that will be cheering.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #12 on:** August 30, 2018, 04:34:17 AM »

I cannot believe tomorrow is the last day of August. These months are, like, only two weeks long now.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #13 on:** August 30, 2018, 04:45:15 AM »

Good notes today. And here’s why.

I, DR ChasSmith, have had High and Low sitting here on the shelf for at least a couple of years. I’d always heard great things about it so I bought it sight unseen on some Criterion sale. But I have yet to pull it off the shelf and watch it. Now it sounds irresistible, and I shall do just that.

Good morning, all.

Happy belated birthday, DR Jan.

High and Low is one of the few Kurosawa films I don’t own, but they have it at the library. I will have to pay it a visit.

John G. · « **Reply #17 on:** August 30, 2018, 05:02:56 AM »

Will have to think about the TOD.

T.O.D.

Desert movies?

Not an easy question, since I don't usually classify movies as "desert" movies or "ocean" movies or the like.

The first one that comes to mind is SAHARA w/Humphrey Bogart.

I also think that THE LAST POSSE with Broderick Crawford is a terrific, little-know Western.

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA is, of course, a classic

I guess BEAU GESTE with Gary Cooper would be a desert movie. It's entertaining; not a particular favorite of mine.

And, since I have to come up with five, there's OUTPOST IN MOROCCO with George Raft. It's a lousy, low budget film that I've seen once...if I watched the whole thing through.

Actually, I am not a fan of "desert movies". They make me thirsty and want to take a shower when they are over.

It's got me stymied, too.

Listening to the Cry-Baby album. I love this lyric from the bad girl:

On Halloween I dressed up as me.

Just read the NYTimes article on jukebox musicals. I like Jesse Green less than before, and I didn’t like him to begin with.

Let’s move on...
