Connery was excellent as Bond, but his Robin Hood in Robin and Marian was my favorite.

Nine hours of sleep. Excellent. But my arms are still sore.

Last night I watched SLEEPY HOLLOW, which was most enjoyable. I'd intended to do that several nights ago but well laid plans, etc...

Later, I fell asleep to the dulcet strains of TCM running a couple of horror-ish flicks, which were just interesting enough to lull me into that perfect falling-asleep state. I keep the volume super low when doing that, but even so, it will eventually wake me up and I have to turn it off. As well one should. So at some point they were playing THE WICKER MAN, which worked its way into a dream in which there had been a remake (not the Nicholas Cage one but something fairly recent), and I was hearing some of the lines as spoken by different actors than those in the original film...and I was also imagining that the lines had been rewritten/rearranged slightly. Interesting, in an odd way. But mainly, seeing that it was going be on, and then having that happen, all conspired to make me really want to take that Blu-ray out and watch it for my first time in several years.

I wish I liked the original Wicker Man more. I loved Edward Woodward and the premise, but I was bored by too much of the movie, largely because the ending was, IMO, a foregone conclusion.

Midsommer played a similar game several years ago. But a greater cast of characters, a funny/eerie sendup of misogyny and a few shocks all made it a creepier and more satisfying experience.

It all came off very nicely. And I am glad not to have to dress up anymore.

I have to say, a lot of churches and synagogues have been forced by the pandemic to come up the learning curve on tech savvy, and a lot of institutions have really risen to meet the challenge.

I really love the original WICKER MAN. It still creeps me out. And I love SLEEPY HOLLOW.

Does anyone here have the National Theatre Recording of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC with Judi Dench? If so, is there any way for me to get the mp3 files?  Thanks!

Teal pumpkins are a symbol of food allergy awareness, and are supposed to signify that non-food treats are on offer.

I have it, but alas, in a box somewhere, and I have no idea how to put my hands on it immediately.

I don't like scary movies and, as a result, in general avoid them.

Implied scariness is fine; for example, the new adaptation of The Turn of the Screw (with Colin Farrell) on BritBox.

It may not be new, but it is new to BritBox.

Well, this is kinda funny...BREAKING: Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp May Not Be Able to Vote Due to Covid-19 Quarantine. ::)


I will be shocked it they don't find a way to get him that ballot in time.  I hope I am wrong.

Sean Connery has died. That saddens me.  He will always be for me the only 007.

I just read that. :( He was 90...a good long run.

I have never heard of this.  It's a good idea...assuming trick-or-treaters also know what it means.

Last night, my comuter had a major Windows 10 update.  It was taking more than an hour, so I just went to sleep.  I'm about to log on and see what's different. :-\
