I don't like the raw tomatoes so I abstain.....

Ah, that brings back happy days at the diner years ago with DR vixmom asking me, "Do you want my tomatoes?"

DR vixmom was quite the tomato herself, of course.

Goodness, I'm afraid I offended our dear BK last night by going on my merry way without so much as a how-do. My apologies, to one and all, for being sluggish about posting these last few days. I have faithfully kept up on the postings and goings on, I assure you. Just haven't felt like I had much worthy of posting...

And in the DC metro area, if you call that number from the 703 area code at least, you will hear the song! And I've tried it in a couple of other cities with the same results too. Of course, it's been a few years since I've tried/called, so...

Maybe we could do a sort of HHW experiment today....

Another call to the cable company this morning, and with one flip of a button, the box was reset and then began operating perfectly (really gorgeous picture with that HDMI connection).

As I said last night, some moron there yesterday didn't know which button to push. Too bad I didn't get the customer service rep that I had this morning when I called yesterday.

I think the last time we had the topic of Mexican food, I answered the same way I'm going to answer now.

Never been a fan of it (even when we visited Mexico for three weeks and I sampled every Mexican dish I could trying to find something I really liked). I avoid Mexican restaurants around town when possible. I will get beef chalupas at Taco Bell on occasion for lunch, but that's about it.

As I recall from THE MEN WHO MADE THE MOVIES, William Wellman was more embarrassed by BUFFALO BILL than by any other film he ever directed. He knew the script was hokum and unworthy of his talent, but as a job, he did the best he could with what he had to work with. And it ended up being one of the biggest hits of his career while THE OX-BOW INCIDENT, the movie he was the proudest of, died at the box-office.

Matt H. · « **Reply #41 on:** April 26, 2005, 07:32:25 AM »

I've never seen the other two Westerns bk talked about this morning in the notes. THE BRAVADOS does sound really interesting though WARLOCK doesn't appeal to me from merely the description.

Hmmm.... Quite a nice line-up of talk show guests on the morning talk shows this morning....

Hmmm..

Packing? What Packing?

from the 516 area code I got a fax machine and from the 631 a busy signal.

I got my notice that the Doris Day DVD box had shipped, so I should get it today or tomorrow, and LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME will definitely be my first pic to watch out of it.

I watched Jimmy Cagney in CITY FOR CONQUEST again this morning, and he's SO magnetic. Always enjoy watching any movie he's in, and, of course, he's sensational in LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME.

Just received a DVD of the live Central Park Delacorte Theatre production of Pirates of Penzance with Kevin Kline, George Rose, Rex Smith, Linda Rondstadt, Patricia Routledge and Tony Azito. It is to be one of the Vixter's bd gifts....

The 'blurb' on the back says

Quote

"This historic video has been made from the only original master tape of this performance in existence. Kulter has digitally restored both the video and the audio, and all remaining sound and picture defercts are recorded in the original and are beyond any further restoration"

Do you suspect, as I do, this means the video and audio will not be of the very best quality?

I keep meaning to see WARLOCK and always miss it when it plays the Westerns channel. The relationship between Quinn and Fonda is supposed to hint of latent homosexuality.

The scene where Quinn croons "Secret Love" is the tip-off, of course.

Matt H. · « **Reply #49 on:** April 26, 2005, 07:59:29 AM »

The audio and video of THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE is fine for what it is. Is it as sharp as a recent film's DVD transfer? Not on your life. It's videotape shot in outdoor conditions with stage rather than conventional lighting and with mono sound relatively tinny in tone.

But NONE of that matters when you see genuine talents involved in this. I HATE Gilbert and Sullivan, but even I found this delightful.

Still not packing, but since I'm normally not up until Noon...

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know...

OH! But I did just secure another two weeks with Mamma Mia! a few minutes ago!

Jennifer · « **Reply #51 on:** April 26, 2005, 08:46:49 AM »

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Btw, DR Rodzinski, in college a friend used to sing "Jennifer Juniper" to me all the time! And in highschool another friend used to sing the Eurythmics song "Jennifer" (with your brown hair ...).

Mexican food: A nearby taqueria provides very tasty dishes. I like its tostada plate with ground beef (other options are chicken and steak) and refried beans, as well as its super quesadilla with pork and chili verde. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm............

I used to like the variety of tacos at Taco Bell, especially the one that has the sour cream on it. I haven't been to a TB in over 10 years.

My favorite Pizza Hut pizza: Thin crust with sausage, green peppers and onions. And an icy mug of draught "any beer," please!!!!!

DR MattH: I know all about morons who answer help lines and proceed to be ignorant about everything you need to know....but I' generally presume them to be pretty nice people who some "true moron" left in charge without caring whether they knew anything about "whatever" or not.

TV Commercial Mystery: There is a current commercial for Cingular (I think) in which a mother is sending birthday greetings to her triplet sons, all of whom are enroute, from their varied destinations, home. The background music is "Get to Me" or something similar.

When the triplets arrive on their mom's doorstep, each is laden with gifts they are bringing home. It looks like Christmas.

Only thing is, THEY are the birthday boys and I can't figure why THEY each are carrying multiple wrapped presents.

And there's not a suitcase in sight.

(And yes, I considered that each might be carrying gifts for the other two...but that doesn't seem quite right in the context of boys coming home for their birthday to visit mom).

I love Gilbert & Sullivan! I had the great joy of seeing this on Broadway while Kevin Kline (whom I instantly fell in love with), George Rose, Rex Smith, and tony Azito were still with the show, and if I recall rightly, the nurse was being played by Angela Lansbury. One of the best days of theatre I ever had....

My friend, Suzanne,always send flowers to her mom on her (Suzanne's) birthday , to thank her mom for giving birth to her..... however I suspect that 1) the people who made the commercial either 1) Thought it just looked better when they arrived with armfuls of gifts or 2) They are supposed to be gifts for the other two

DR vixmom - I knew someone who did this, too, and I thought of her right away when I read Ron's post. Welcome back, by the way - you were missed around here!
