I'm back and have one question: Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com?

Hard though the question may be, we have already had two count them two correct answers. Blow me over with a mackeral.

I wish I had hours to cull my Theatre Worlds and reference texts of Theatre and TV to solve the riddle of the trivia question, but alas, I don't. It's too hard!

You could start, however, by compiling a database from your Theatre Worlds, etc., bit by bit over time, when you have any to spare.

You could even come up with some trivia questions to top BK's, I'd expect.

Two correct answers already!!! Grrrrrrr.

In my mailbox today - from DR FRANCOIS - I received two CD's!

OST Three Little Words
OLC Mary Poppins

Merci, mon ami! I am so happy. I appreciate it so much! Hours of listening pleasure ahead!

Me too, DRGINNY. Another fun day it would be!

You might try this DRMBARNUM -

But if you have Real Player, doesn't it have a "rip and burn" feature on it?

Finished watching the scrumptuous Technicolor of SHOW BOAT today and plan on screening ADVISE AND CONSENT tonight. After seeing Charles Laughton's magnificent work in WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION once again the other night, I look forward to seeing his last performance later tonight.

I think I mentioned this before, but in one of the Laughton biographies, it was mentioned that as Charles was drifting in and out of a coma right before he died, he mistakenly thought he had been nominated for an Oscar for ADVISE AND CONSENT. And the fact is he SHOULD have been nominated!

We have been blessed with cooler weather yesterday and today, so a walk is not out of the question later on today.

However, I do have to mop the kitchen floor at some point today, never a fun chore.

My upstairs computer uses a Roxio CD Creator to burn CDs, and it has always been super-simple to use.

That Martin Lawrence movie S. Woody mentioned earlier today - was that one of the BAD BOYS movies? I've never seen them, but that's what I thought when I read his message.

And back to SHOW BOAT for a minute. I wonder if Warners is planning on an Ultra-Resolution redo for either SHOW BOAT or AN AMERICAN IN PARIS? Both have artifacts on the current transfers that could be improved with some digital tweaking, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if either or both of these films aren't given a spiffy deluxe edition within the next year or two.

I noticed that HOW THE WEST WAS WON was on TCM this afternoon. That might be a fun (though long) DVD to pull off the shelf and watch tonight. Along with watching movies that I haven't seen on DVD yet, I'm trying to go back through my library and watch some favorites each day I have the time to do so as well.

All alone Monday, singin' the blues. . . ."

Oops, maybe that should read "All alone Saturday, singin' the blues . . . ."

DirectTV is out - they're sending a technician on Thursday. Also, for the first time, I didn't replace my gas cap after getting gas. I drove away and it must have fallen right there in the station. I found out what happened ten minutes later and drove back and guess what? No one had turned it in, and it was nowhere to be found, which means that some peckerhead TOOK it. How ugly and stupid are people? So, I had to go to the Infinity dealership and buy a new one.

Got a wonderful father's day present from the darling daughter - fresh cherries from something called The Cherry Farm in San Diego. Totally cool.

It IS Father's Day tomorrow! When one's father has been gone for some time, one tends to forget these days.

Congratulations to all the fathers on the forum in case I forget to mention it tomorrow!

I trust BK is letting people know when their trivia contest submissions contain errors...and that no news is good news, indeed!!!

bk · « **Reply #77 on:** June 18, 2005, 02:57:07 PM »

No news is good news indeed.

Now, might I just ask where in tarnation IS everyone? This isn't a holiday that I know of.

I think it was the first Bad Boys film. It certainly wins, hands down, the award for the most times the word "f***" has ever been used in a single sentence. (What's scary is that most of those f's were probably improvised on the set, and that they actually improved the script.

We've heard it here first! BK has, indeed, driven to Infinity and beyond!

This morning I went to the arboretum. On the way home, my tire blew out on the freeway at 65 mph. Thank goodness for cell phones and AAA!

Good to know that you are Ok yourself DearReader Laura. I assume your are!

I am fine, although it was quite nerve-wracking.

I'm here! I'm home, but I had to catch up with all the posts since Thursday! I'm house-sitting in a house that not only doesn't have a DVD player, it doesn't have a computer!
