Nope, this Tumi bag is smaller than even the duffle I've used in years past. In fact, it would easily fit under a seat, although that's where I usually put my computer case.

True Jennifer, I like people who can "play nice with others." LOL!

I think that Rob seems to think way too highly of himself, is all. Perhaps a bit of inflated ego.

If Christina Applegate opens in SWEET CHARITY on Broadway.....I will be her understudy.

MR BK do you fly 1st Class, Business Class, or Coach?

Glob and Rambler are ruining TAR for me this time around.

On Jet Blue it's all one class. Ever since TWA went under, I haven't been so happy with American Airlines, so Jet Blue is easy and cheaper. When I flew TWA and then American, back in the heyday of all my NY trips, I had so much mileage I always upgraded to first class.

I got a lovely package from our very own vixmom - a Benjamin Kritzer bear, in lounging pyjamas, smoking jacket and bunny slippers. How divoon is that? Thank you, vixmom! I shall find a place of importance for the dear bear.

Dear Friend BK, I'm sorry about Joe and Josh! I'm out of ideas.

DRVixmom, I agree with you about Susan Smith.

Aggrandize as a word aggravates me.

Oy, such a day! It's subway hell. Something involving the power canceled the East Side subways today, so anyone traveling this morning on the East Side took a bus to the West Side to use the subways. Of course we passengers are never told anything, so I pulled my usual traffic pattern: local to 72nd Street, express to 14th. Had I been aware of the madness and congestion, I would have stayed on the local, but I got off the local and watched as lined-up express subways packed to the gills kept pulling into the station and more passengers tried to wedge their bodies into them. When I finally got into a train car, it moved at a snail's pace to 42nd Street where all the madness stopped. My usual 15 minute trip took me 45 minutes today. It was equally crazy getting home this afternoon.

Question for BK: If there is a movie you have been longing to see, will you accept watching it in less-than-ideal format? Or are your visual tastes refined to the point that you would just not watch a film rather than see it at less than its best?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #129 on:** March 16, 2005, 01:20:42 PM »

"Aggrandize" aggravates you, Elmore?
I find the aggregate of that statement to be egregious.
I am aghast and aggrieved.

I spent a lively afternoon with THE INCREDIBLES, and that certainly describes the movie. Terrifically entertaining from beginning to end, greatg music score, and sound that is second to none. My subwoofer didn't stop for the entire last half of the movie. Wow! And once they got to that island, well, the color was just eye popping.

I am still wondering what the two Employees at Best Buy are thinking about the tall muscle guy who came in looking for some Mushroom movie and some movie about Bees.

Was THE BANDWAGON filmed in any widescreen process or is the movie and DVD properly in full screen as I have seen the promo on TCM?

Matt H. · « **Reply #136 on:** March 16, 2005, 01:34:13 PM »

I'm going to watch SMALLVILLE for the first time this season tonight. LOST is a rerun, so I thought I might check out what's been happening to Clark, Lex, and Lana this season. Hope I'll be able to follow it since I've missed all season. It's a rerun as well, but it will be new to me.

Matt H. · « **Reply #137 on:** March 16, 2005, 01:34:48 PM »

THE BAND WAGON is full screen as it should be.

"The Band Wagon" was filmed in Academy ratio.

My office staff went out to lunch....The Cuckoo's Nest down on 4th Street here in Oakland in the middle of all the loft complexes built a few years ago.

I had a wonderful concoction called Chicken Chili Lime...two nice pieces of chicken breast in a sauce of delectable piquance. Some fantatastic sauteed vegetables and mashed potatoes (smashed taters for our southern and mid-western readers) with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....gustatorial delight!

THE BANDWAGON....wonder why is wasn't filmed in widescreen....wasn't 1954 the beginning of the 'scope revolution?

What was the first MGM musical in Cinemascope? Was it ROSE MARIE?

NEVER MIND edited myself and found that THE BANDWAGON was released in 1953!

Have you seen the crew member on Screen Left in the middle of "Louisiana Hayride"?

I counted my pennies and ordered THE MYSTERIANS on DVD! That tv movie trailer is one I always thought was great!

Matt H. · « **Reply #146 on:** March 16, 2005, 01:59:23 PM »

Yes, ROSE MARIE was MGM's first Cinemascope musical. KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE was its first Cinemascope movie.

Since we keep getting ads for things we discuss, let me tell you what I have been seeking. I have a 1995 Ford Taurus station wagon, which was until very recently when DH forgot and left it on the roof, equipped witht a "cargo cover", which looks rather like a large window shade, it woud pull out and clip in to two little sockets in the back and cover up whatever was in the cargo portion of the stationwagon.

Well since it has dissapeared we have been unable to find a replacement at any of the local j~~unkyards~~, salvage facilities, online, ebay, anywhere.

But if you all will join me in a discussion of 1995 Ford Taurus retractable cargo covers , color grey, perhaps the powers that be will give us an ad for a place where I can get one!!!

The Bobby Sherman LPs are, while cheesily arranged, generally very entertaining albums.
On the "Getting Together" LP, Bobby sings a song to his sister called "Where Did That Little Girl Go?" which later was appropriated for the SNOOPY musical as "Where Did that Little Dog Go?"

It would have been rude and inappropriate for Bobby to have used the "Little Dog" lyric in re his sister, of course.
