Amazon Fresh arrived in two cartons, and before I could empty a carton, Annabelle leaped into it and declared it her property. She was not happy when I evicted her and broke down the cartons.

I don't believe I have ever seen an Elvis Presley movie and don't ever plan to.

A conductor I have known for the past 40 years has started a Facebook page, which I call The Conductor's Vanity Page. I joined it because we've been acquainted for such a long time, but I stopped posting there because everyone's opinion - if it's not his - gets a rather rude putdown. It gives all the subscribers a chance to watch him pontificate and his acolytes a moment to kiss the royal butt.

It's truth universally acknowledged that there can be only one star in the room.

Last night I watched some of the Olympics, then fell asleep to [DR Jrand70 beat me to it] a couple of Elvis movies on TCM.

I'd always remembered those movies being very colorful, but now, watching "as an adult", I am amazed at the attention paid to color and lighting design. Nearly every shot seems set up for maximum eye-candy effect, and the colors jump off your screen. To use a "today" word: they "pop", a word applies perfectly to these 1960s films. The various costume and background colors are always perfectly in balance and perfectly lit, and not once does any of it seem overdone.

Of course you can say that about many many films of the 1950s and 1960s. Hitchcock's color ones are very much that way, as are the Doris Day comedies and so many others. But I was impressed with the care taken on these films made for the teenage market. Scripts aside, they weren't throwaways.

I agree. The few I’ve seen lately are solidly made and beautiful to behold, everything except for the scripts.

Tonight is the first Olympic event of the 40+1 high school anniversary. I’m still trying to figure out why I am going two nights in a row, other than to talk with the friends I’m going with each night. Joyce leaves on vacation tomorrow, so she can only go tonight. Donna gets back from vacation tomorrow and can only go then.

Oh yes DR CHAS SMITH.....Mr Presley was always impeccably costumed in the latest style. And he wore his clothes very well for most of his career.

I like his jacket/tie combinations as well. Even in THE TROUBLE WITH GIRLS set in 1927 - he was costumed in the latest 1969 styles with just a nod to the period.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #44 on:** July 30, 2021, 07:22:06 AM »

I think he looked best in his Hal Wallis/Paramount movies....wardrobe by Edith Head. A more casual shot with one of my favorite of his Leading Ladies - Joan Blackman.

Yes....yes.....every time an Elvis movie came out, I was right there at the drive-in to watch.....and I saved my baby sitting and lawn mowing money to buy the soundtracks.....

Both of my parents were also fans - so a trip to the Center-Brook (half way between Centerton and Brooklyn) or the Maplecroft or the Templeton drive-in was always in order when a Presley movie came into town!

I thought of something I had to do on the computer.....by the time I opened the file folder - I forgot what I was looking for.

In the know-your-audience department: my local H-E-B groceries are now selling a butter tortilla-scented candle.

I think the only Elvis movie I ever saw was A Change of Habit which we saw at the drive in as a family. My dad liked Mary Tyler Moore

From John:

Found a recipe in one of Mom’s old cookbooks called Soufflé Meat Salad. Two cups of meat and Miracle Whip, plus celery, parsley and onion, all suspended in lemon gelatin.

Be sure and let us know what you think once you try this

DR George please let me know if the book is good.

I think you slept so much due to your great need to catch up on sleep. I hope you can get your patterns where they should be.

Boy, talk about two days being lost...

Wednesday was the horrible allergy day, and yesterday was the horrible diverticulitis day.

Like I said, the latter only rears its ugly head once a year or so, but this was a tough one. I literally ate nothing all day until about 7 pm when I ate half a turkey and mayo on sourdough. What I had never realized, until I'd suffered with the aching gut for about three hours in the morning, is that extra strength Tylenol is your friend in riding these episodes out. There isn't much you can do except drink liquids, don't eat high fiber and seeds, etc., and let it pass. That's if it isn't an extreme case requiring medical attention which thankfully has never been the case for me.

I am glad you didn't need to go to the hospital to recover.

I believe this is considered his worst movie. I don't doubt that is is.

I am sure DR Laura will return. She is fine, just dealing with house stuff.
