I do think there'll be action in the last day or two and I'm hopeful that we'll get to the 10K

TOD:

Remakes that work on their own. They may not be better than the original, but they stand on their own.

The Magnificent Seven
True Grit
Dawn of the Dead
The Thing
Heaven Can Wait
The Maltese Falcon
The Fly
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Is The Man Who Knew Too Much remake the one with Day & Stewart? If so I agree with all of these except for Body Snatchers since I don't remember much about it.

Yes. Hitchcock made both versions. The first was 20+ years before the second. Both excellent in their ways.

Now for the worst remakes. I can’t think of anything worse than the remake of A Room with a View.

Other really bad remakes include:
Shall We Dance
The Women
Carrie
Fame
3:10 to Yuma

Sorry, DR Jane. I wasn't really being serious. And of course I don't wish that for you!

LOL I know that

Back from picking up packages and an important envelope. I went directly to the bank where I cash the pension check and thankfully they'd just changed their hours from nine to five, unlike BofA, who are always the end of the pack that way. No one was there at all, I used their indoor ATM and was cashed and out of there in two minutes flat. But, of course, BofA had closed at four, so I'll deposit tomorrow.

Very warm today.

Well, THIS is interesting. I wonder if there's been any audio clean-up at all...probably not.

One "review" is by someone who obviously doesn't know very much about Ethel:

Quote

I always thought Merman was singularly devoid of any talent. She couldn't act or dance, and her voice was atrocious. This recording from a live performance confirms the above. It's telling that the show ran for years and then folded within a short time after Merman took over the role of Dolly.

no. But it is interesting. And it has extra songs because, well, Ethel didn't have enough to sing.

The second Munsters movie is horrible. Even if Lily did manage to warble "How are things in Transylvania?" to the tune of "How are things in Glocca Mora?"

Listening to the wonderful Messager/Lanchbery score for the Two Pigeons ballet - I love every second of it.

And then I'm watching the old Royal Ballet Cinderella choreographed and featuring Frederick Ashton.

And now, I must be off. My mom hurt her hand so I'm going to move her yard waste bin down to the street for tomorrow morning's pickup. It's the big bin and it's quite full, so it's also very heavy.

Be back later.

Well, we just had us an April 1st miracle - someone came in as an executive producer and took us to 137% and over 10K so commentaries are happening, baby. And now, the higher we go the more stuff I can put on. I have several things in mind, one of them being the lossless hi-rez remix of the Sandy Bainum album of my songs - that would be like having Blu-ray Audio for those. And a few performances from the all BK online Kritzerland show, too.

What is this page four malarkey, an April Fool's Day joke? We're really on page fifty?

I should be asleep. Last night I slept from midnight to 2:00am.

I napped from 6:30 to 7:30 this morning.
