my, the music is jarring.

Listening to some music.

I think i might have been a bad cell zone when I tried to post before.

John G. · « **Reply #67 on:** November 12, 2018, 06:40:04 PM »

I'm home now. All is better.

Back to the second part of Berlin Alexanderplatz.

Tomorrow night it's supposed to get down below freezing. My poor plants. I think I'd better bring some in tonight.

Was thinking about watching something, but what? I have three Netflix DGA screeners here, and all of them sound awful. And last I checked Netflix there was nothing interesting.

Meanwhile, I listen to music, lots of music.

Starting Shampoo. It's wonderful. The look is incredibly dated, but the script is timeless. The acting is brilliant. Even down to George Furth as an unctuous banker.

Has anybody heard anything about the film version of Bel Canto? Apparently it's going straight to video. The library has it on order.

In a sense, I'm not surprised, because the book seemed impossible to film.

Jane · « **Reply #74 on:** November 12, 2018, 08:29:14 PM »

I never got around to reading the book.

Jane · « **Reply #75 on:** November 12, 2018, 08:29:42 PM »

We are watching THE GOOD DOCTOR.

I really loved it.

Jane · « **Reply #77 on:** November 12, 2018, 08:40:16 PM »

I take it back, I did read the book. Obviously I didn't love it

Page three? Really?

bk · « **Reply #79 on:** November 12, 2018, 09:46:37 PM »

I do know we were down for some period of time between when I began watching a documentary and now. So that was ninety minutes of away time, and have no idea how long within that period of time.

I am having trouble catching up.

bk · « **Reply #81 on:** November 12, 2018, 10:00:18 PM »

Well, you'd better catch up or you shall be flogged like Judge Turpin, but worse.

bk · « **Reply #82 on:** November 12, 2018, 10:00:26 PM »

No wonder we're on page three.

I'm afraid that the approach of hiding Dad's shoes wouldn't work, because Dad was found barefoot. The neighbor who took him in wrapped his feet up in towels until Mom could come get him because it was brutally cold outside.

Paula Wayne, who had IMO a gorgeous, smoky voice, has died. She was Sammy Davis Jr.’s love interest in Golden Boy. Part of the obit touched on this being the subject of controversy because of race. This was supposedly the first interracial kiss on a Broadway stage. Yet this was a plot point of Showboat decades before. I guess until Lonette McKee, black or multiracial women never played Julie. Lena never played the part, except in scenes in Till the Clouds Roll By.

Oh, no. I actually had no idea that she was still alive. $:-\$

Stan Lee of Marvel Comics has died at 95. Spent quite a few hours as a kid reading The Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man and the rest.

I'd heard about that at my sister's.

I will miss his short appearance in his films.

They were always fun.

They were!

Jane · « **Reply #87 on:** November 12, 2018, 10:20:13 PM »

IMD shows 4 of his films in post-production.

It was also adapted into an opera and shown on PBS last year. I remember watching part of it, but I missed being able to record it. I enjoyed what I saw. As far as I've been able to tell, it's not been released on DVD or Blu-ray.
