Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

DR George the movie must have been beautiful on the large screen.  Overall I enjoyed it.

Aquaman?  It was incredible to watch on the big screen...so many details.

Very nice, Jrand!

The Streets of New York has been added to CastAlbums.org! ;D

I’m surprised it wasn’t there before.

The title was there, but I added Kritzerland's upcoming release.

Watching the original movie of Annie for maybe the first time since it was in the movie  theater. So many things wrong, especially the Annie and Huston lacks any feeling for how to treat the orphans. But Albert Finney is better than i remember, Ann Reinking is still the best thing around.

But the big thing is the philosophical change. Annie on stage was about how horrible the Republicans were for ruining the country. The movie turns Republican Warbucks into the hero.

Too saccharine for my tastes. I'm starting Eastern Promises. Violence. Violence. Violence.

DR JANE I don't know what she does to her chairs....maybe she uses them for firewood or maybe she has a monster chair eater in the house.....it's a mystery to me.  But it has been memorialized on HHW so I will know how long these last.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

What is the most surprising or interesting Friend Request you have gotten on Book Face?

Hmmm.  Bernadette Peters?  Only it was fake.  Stephen Sondheim?  Only it was fake.  Betty Breemer, the girl I kissed in the back row of the Four Star Theater during Where the Boys Are in junior high school - that was real and pretty surprising.

Curious about billing the label, elmore.  Since they're obviously not paying for the recording, were they just given the money and doing the payouts?

No booked shipped today - we can only hope for tomorrow.  Car has been oiled and lubed and smog checked and I have sent in for my tags and new registration paper.  Had Matzo Brei in the morning.

Have been thinking about what will be my next book.  I've known what it was going to be for a year, and I know I'll be at least organizing stuff some of this year, if not doing any actual writing, but then again I just may do some actual writing if the fancy strikes me.  But there are big decisions to be made with this one - one decision concerns the size - I think I want this to be a bigger book, size-wise - 8 1/2 by 11.  They can do that and it would be full color on the inside, which would be fun, actually, for reasons that will become clear when you know what it is.  But if the page count is what I suspect it will be, the retail price will be too expensive.  So, we're also looking at off-set printing, rather than print on demand - that would buy me much classier paper (glossy) and reproduction, but then it's not print on demand at all - it's committing to 1500 books, the minimum order - that, of course, is folly.  It's not quite as much folly if it's printed in China, which is where most of these kinds of books are printed.  I'm getting more info, though, as it's fascinating.

That's my guess.  I didn't know until yesterday how we were being paid.  I suspect the money went directly into the company's hands and they are handling all payments.
