When CHARIOTS won the Oscar, the mom dragged me and a pal to the movie, and we were so bored we acted like jackasses in the theatre.

I saw CHARIOTS OF FIRE when it aired on HBO way back in the 80s...I don't recall disliking it, but then I don't really recall anything about it other then the music...and I have no eagerness to watch it again.

PS: I have had no difficulties getting onto HHW with my dial-up AOL. In fact in the 2 years that I have had this new computer I have had no troubles with my internet connection.

I had one of those days today when I saw bits and pieces of a bunch of movies. Here's what I remember:
The end of DOCTOR DOLITTLE, the Rex Harrison epic.
The end of STRAIGHT STORY, tractor driving movie
The last third of GUIDE FOR THE MARRIED MAN. What a brilliant movie! Always fun to watch.
The entire CAMP on dvd. Fun movie that takes place at drama camp upstate. Some dynamic musical numbers, great opening. Some wispy plot threads, but worth it for the Broadway in-jokes.
Part of MYSTERY MEN, which I enjoy.
The end of THE PARENT TRAP remake.
What a weird grouping of films!!

The Gal's mom is in town from San Jose, so I wasn't always in control of the viewing, by the way.

But we did have a nice leg o' lamb for dinner!

My buddy Mark loves this movie! He made me watch it with him last year, and it was a lot of fun! I had never seen it before.

MBarnum- You remember the Arch Hall interview as I do. He comes across as pretty humble and a nice guy. Doesn't take the films too seriously but is proud of THE SADIST. Flies planes now.
What the article did not say, was that he is now touring around with the Archers again.

MBarnum · « **Reply #126 on:** March 27, 2005, 09:44:53 PM »

Coincidently, Rodzinski, I saw a middle part of the original PARENT TRAP today when flipping channels.

But you have not seen anything until you have seen DO KALIYAN, the 1960s Bollywood version of THE PARENT TRAP starring Baby Sonia....oh, golly! That is a wierd one! LOL!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #127 on:** March 27, 2005, 09:45:45 PM »

GUIDE FOR THE MARRIED MAN is quiintessential 60s comedy. Matthau and Morse make a great team. Gene Kelly did an admirable job bringing out the broad comedy but leaving some intellectual content. The "deny, deny deny" sequence with Joey Bishop is hilarious.

LOL! That is a concert I would like to see!!

I noticed that he comes across a fairly mature in the snippets of the live concert pieces of the CD when the guys are talking, while some of the Archer's seem like typical immature 18 year olds...I am guessin Arch was more interested in making music while his co-horts were more interested in making it with the local girls! LOL!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #129 on:** March 27, 2005, 09:48:24 PM »

DO KALIYAN, I'll have to look for that one! They showed the original and the remake in succession on the Hallmark Channel today. Would have been good if they threw in the Bollywood one too.

I'm nearing 500 posts! Will that do anything for me?

MBarnum · « **Reply #130 on:** March 27, 2005, 09:49:43 PM »

If I recall correctly you turn into God Rodzinski at 501 posts!

bk · « **Reply #131 on:** March 27, 2005, 09:50:24 PM »

Yes, 500 posts will make you a stronger person, and you will be omnipotent with abs and buns of steel.

Think I'll add Guide for the Married Man to my "try to remember when at the video store" list.

Trekked over the mountains this morning for a yummilicious Easter brunch with my family. Gorged myself on ham, eggs, anise-flavored bread and such. Made my way back to this side of the state (aka "civilization") late in the afternoon and made DR Ann watch Boys from Brazil.

And that was my Sunday.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #133 on:** March 27, 2005, 09:51:22 PM »

Yeah, that most obnoxious Archer, the organist, Alan O'Day is the same guy who had a #1 hit with "Undercover Angel" in the 70s. Arch does come across pretty down to earth for a guy who could have scored with any of the chicks in the audience. Although if you listen, it sounds like only 4-5 people are in the audience!

Thanks again Rodzinski, for the CD, by the way! I have been listening to it off and on all day today...some of those songs are rather catchy, I have to admit! LOL!

MBarnum · « **Reply #136 on:** March 27, 2005, 09:53:47 PM »

And I would like to know what Nancy Czar is doing now.

MBarnum · « **Reply #137 on:** March 27, 2005, 09:54:38 PM »

Just a few more posts Mr. Zinski!

We are making room for you up here in the clouds!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #138 on:** March 27, 2005, 09:56:18 PM »

No problem, MBarnum! Glad you enjoy it.

How fitting it is that on Easter, I should RISE to Godly status!!!

(Technically, Easter is over here, but not on the official site clock)

Rodzinski · « **Reply #139 on:** March 27, 2005, 09:58:28 PM »

Let's see, what else have I got? GUIDE FOR THE MARRIED MAN features appearances by Carl Reiner, Jack Benny, Wally Cox and scads of other folks.

AND a catchy theme song by the TURTLES with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse.

Have you seen CACTUS FLOWER? Mark also introduced me to that film...and it was quite funny too.

Somehow when I think of one film I always think of the other...thus that is why I brought it up...that and I am getting very sleepy!

Anonymous San Francisco band The Residents have a one-minute long song called "Easter Woman". It's on an LP called "The Commercial Album" that has 40 1-minute long songs. The lyrics to "Easter Woman" are as follows:

Easter Woman came today
And took away my wife
Took her through an open doorway
To the afterlife.

Well, Freddy is demanding that I let him inside, so I shall do my duty and then also hit the hay...5:30 am comes awful early.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #143 on:** March 27, 2005, 10:05:39 PM »

I have not seen CACTUS FLOWER. It's just never crossed my path.

As this is post #501, I want to thank all who made this possible. Who knew I was capable of such things??

Rodzinski · « **Reply #144 on:** March 27, 2005, 10:08:54 PM »

And where are those buns of steel I was promised?

MBarnum · « **Reply #145 on:** March 27, 2005, 10:11:52 PM »

Congrats Rodzinski, you made it! May the bells ring out!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #146 on:** March 27, 2005, 10:13:20 PM »

Alright, I must hit the road to Dreamland myself. Multitudes of blessings to all.

Jed, I forgot to tell you sorry about the Huskies. But at least they didn't choke away a 15-point lead in the last 4 minutes like Arizona did!

Thanks MBarnum!

Good Evening!

Wonderful closing show. And the sun was out (again) when I left the theatre.

The train ride back was basically uneventful. It appeared the Amtrak oversold the "Reserved" train. People were stuck sitting in the Cafe Car and on the floor areas at the end of each car from city to city. But I had a nice window seat, with a very still and quiet aisle-neighbor. I made some lists, and got a nice nap in.

Once back in Fairfax, I supped on some of the Easter dinner leftovers at my parents' house: lamb, chicken, french fries (gotta love the nieces and nephew), and peas and carrots. Oh, and some chocolate too! Gotta have the chocolate!

Then the drive back to Richmond - dark and drizzly all the way, but an easy drive.

I've unpacked my bags, gone through my mail, and I'm finishing up a load of laundry. I should be in bed by 3:00. Up by 9:30. On the road by 10:30. Back up in Fairfax (again) by 1:00. Leave for the airport by 3:00. Fly to Memphis at 4:30... And then chat at whatever time it will be in Memphis.
