Well, you've read the notes, the notes were wonderful and spoke of a world and the Brothers Grimm, and now it is time for you to post until the Grimm cows come home.

It's always exciting to hear/read about new (potential) Kritzerland releases!  Can't wait to find out what it'll be!

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.

I never went to a real Cinerama theatre. But I believe the first and only movie I saw that was billed using the process was 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I went to bed at 8:00 and got plenty of sleep with Annabelle on the pillow beside me and Thatch on the other side.  I had a lotta dreams and now I remember none of them.

I wish our PBS would bring back the Great British Baking Show.  I am so in love with Mary Berry that I bought her autobiography from Amazon.co.uk and loved it.

DR George - I am not giving medical advice.
But what my doctor told me was, real lemons. Not the kind that comes in the plastic lemon bottle. And, of course, no sugar added.

DR Jane, I am drinking the juice of 2 to 3 regular-sized lemons per day. 4 ounces of juice, diluted into water throughout the day.

BK, you're cruising for another battle with Mr Yap.  You got your ladies backwards on the Anyone Can Whistle post. Friedman is Faye Apple and Julia McKenzie is Cora. I've been through too many rounds on Facebook with John Yap, whose attacks on any critic remind me of that nasty eel in the 1977 Jacqueline Bisset movie The Deep

Well, I hope that today will not fulfill the QAnon prediction that Donald Trump will rise from the dead and declare himself our Lard and Bastard.

First Cinerama movie?
The Seven Wonders of the World and The Brothers Grimm.  That was plenty.

If you confabulate fabulously, you, too can be a politician.

I had to do a little bit of digging to educate myself about what "smilebox" format means.

Kitty cleanup is over, and I guess the basement trip is next on the agenda.

I am another Luddite who never saw anything in the Cinerama process at an actual theatre.

I find it to be weird on television......people seem to be walking upstage and downstage and it looks ...  well weird.....  I am probably not explaining it correctly, but that's what it looks like to me

I feel much better now.

I love the Smilebox format. I guess I first knew of it with the Blu-ray release of HOW THE WEST WAS WON. For me, it's a simple but genius re-creation of what it felt like and looked like to experience a large format film on a curved screen in a great theater.

I do wonder if you "had to be there" to appreciate what it's doing, or are people who never saw that kind of movie in that kind of theater able to "get it" as well? That's not to be condescending, by any means. I just wonder that.
