I am intrigued by the trivia question....and I will begin working on it momentarily.  HOWEVER, I am watching my wonderful new $5 video of SEVEN SAMURAI - I love this movie.

PAGE TWO - but no dance.

Yes DR RLP - I was influenced by Mr Edward Albee...he was a "special interest" all by himself.

Thanks for the PIAZZA precis, DR ELMORE.  I was hoping it was just as grand as it looked in the photos!

Good Morning!

I guess I slept a little "funny" last night.  My neck is a bit stiff.  Hopefully, some time in a hot shower will help.

In any case...

Are you going to eat your dozen Krispy Kremes now or when you wake up????

Do this several times a week, and they'll be lifelong "pals," too!

:D

Well, Saturday morning is usually the morning when one or more of my brothers stops by the house for various and sundried reasons.  -Usually before or after one of their children's activities.  And my father usually makes some sort of donut run on the weekend too.  And as it turned out, they headed either to Virginia Beach or up to Atlantic City this morning with some friends - so they took one of the half boxes with them.  Timing is everything!

:)

Hmm...  Guess I could have a donut for breakfast.

Hmmmmmmmmm.....  very difficult to choose a favorite movie year...and DR CP certainly makes a good case for the familiar 1939 - how can you beat all those great flicks?  In ONE year!

And 1950 wasn't too shabby either, as DRMATTH points out.  And 1968, for sure, I graduated from high school in that year.

And although it will never qualify as the GREATEST year - one of my favorites would be 1956:  THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, FORBIDDEN PLANET, THE LONG LONG TRAILER, BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK.  Oh, and TEENAGE REBEL with Miss Ginger Rogers.

MY THREE ANGELS . . . . brings back memories. I was a replacement for someone who dropped out of the cast of the show - two and a half weeks before opening.

I can't remember ever being more petrified trying to learn lines. Fear can be a GREAT motivator.

BTW, I played Felix Ducotel.

...I have nothing to report on the TOD:  my major movie going days were between 1954-1979, and I have no Favorite Year.  I guess it's too much sex and drugs.
In the movies?  Or... :o

What made MY THREE ANGELS so daunting was that I was doing THE SOUND OF MUSIC at the time I was trying to memorize those MY THREE ANGELS lines. I hadn't auditioned for MY THREE ANGELS. The director called and asked me as a favor to her to fill in. I was so exhausted from THE SOUND OF MUSIC that I really didn't want to do it, but she HAD cast me in TWELVE ANGRY MEN and one just doesn't say no to directors who may cast you again one day in something you really want to do.

Turned out fine. Met some wonderful actors in the cast I had never worked with before whom I now consider friends, so it was a positive experience (once I got those blasted lines learned.)

I tend to not think of films in regards to the year they were released.  Time, as they say, is an illusion.  (Lunchtime doubly so, as Douglas Adams wrote.)

Right now, der Brucer is watching some film starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.  I've a hunch it's not a family film, just from the language.  The music sounds like a lot of electric guitars, all being played at full amplitude and engaged in a contest to see who can sound most like an out-of-tune bagpipe.

Good news on the work front: I keep getting more hours each week!  They like me!

Bad news on the work front: I need a back brace.  I didn't realize I was this much out of shape.  I figure it's a better idea to get the back brace before I hurt myself than after.

She of the Evil Eye is here, but I'm not quite ready to leave.

I am pondering my favorite film year (several candidates), but I suspect it will be from the late 50s or early 60s, but then you never know.

Well, it's not every day that a parade steps off right in front of Dayton Metro Library's main entrance, but the Gay Pride parade just did!  Yes, I'm at work on this beautiful Saturday...

My favorite film year would have to be 1958. That is the year that ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE arrived in a theater near you.

June Kenney and Allison Hayes were both quite busy on the big screen that year. June appeared in AOPP as well as EARTH VS THE SPIDER and HOT CAR GIRL, while Allison was busy in ATTACK OF THE 50 FT WOMAN, HONG KONG CONFIDENTIAL, and WOLF DOG.

1957 would be a runner up, movie year wise, as so many of my favorite films came out that year also.

I'm on my way to do things, but I shall return when she of the Evil Eye is gone.

Only one person has made a stab at the trivia question, and that stab was incorrect.  Perhaps I have finally stumped everyone???  Can't know that unless you try to answer, however.

1958 was my SECOND CHOICE.... for obvious reasons! Two obvious reasons: Allison Hayes!  :o

DRMATTH -  Felix is a marvelous role.  I am torn between Jules and Joseph - although Uncle Henri is a wonderful role as well.

I guess I will just audition and let the director decide....LOL...I guess that's what I should do anyway.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good, easy to use software for burningd CDs?

RECORDNOW is the software that came already installed onh my computer, but it seems to have fizzled out and won't work anymore. It keeps trying to install itself when I open it and then just comes up with a big old error message and then freezes my computer.  So I think it might be time to invest in some other software for ripping and recording cds.


Any helpful suggestions are quite welcomed.

That's a good year, too, and included THE KING AND I, CAROUSEL, THE SWAN, ANASTASIA, FRIENDLY PERSUASION, GIANT and WAR AND PEACE.

Yesterday, DRMBarnum posted about a film called Test Tube Babies, but he forgot to include even a hint about the title song:

I'm just a Test Tube Baby,
Wishing that I had some feet.
Golly gee, that would be neat,
But they're a no-show...

Oh-h-h....

Jose-LOL-that was late for us.  When I’m in NY I will function on your late hours (love the 3 extra hours of play time).

Not that I slept in late today, just stayed in bed longer than usual.  Keith didn’t get much sleep.  I didn’t do my usual workout, just did my stretches and then took a short walk.  Those hill we have still get my heart rate up.

The drywall guy finished this morning so I will pick up the paint later today and Keith will paint on Monday.
