808 State

Rodzinski · « **Reply #211 on:** July 16, 2023, 07:26:24 PM »

That’s a British electronica band.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #212 on:** July 16, 2023, 07:26:51 PM »

Named for the Roland TR-808

Rodzinski · « **Reply #213 on:** July 16, 2023, 07:27:36 PM »

A pioneering electronic drum machine.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #214 on:** July 16, 2023, 07:30:08 PM »

The first hit single to use an 808 was Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing. So says wiki.

I did get 160 more pages of From Here to Eternity read. Less than 100 to go.

James Jones did call it From Hair to Maternity at one point.

Got over the little hump and wrote five good pages and introduced an important person in this story.

Biggest difference between the book and the movie?

Why does it seem like it's eleven o'clock already?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #220 on:** July 16, 2023, 07:41:29 PM »

Besides the book being printed on paper and the movie being projected onto a screen.

bk · « **Reply #221 on:** July 16, 2023, 07:42:04 PM »

I'll take a little break then try to write another five pages - I know exactly where I'm going from here to the next sequence, so that's good.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #222 on:** July 16, 2023, 07:42:13 PM »

I dunno. Jane already went to sleep and it’s not yet 8.

The frank discussion of homosexuality.

John G. · « **Reply #224 on:** July 16, 2023, 08:27:37 PM »

Maybe more realistic portrayals of characters. The prickly relationship between Prewitt (Montgomery Clift) and the prostitute Alma (Donna Reed).

John G. · « **Reply #225 on:** July 16, 2023, 08:28:53 PM »

The language. It’s the oldest book (1951) I think I’ve read that has a liberal use of f-bombs in conversation.

John G. · « **Reply #226 on:** July 16, 2023, 09:00:02 PM »

Good night, all.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #227 on:** July 16, 2023, 09:14:16 PM »

F-bombs, eh?

I am fairly certain those flew around the entire movie production...in between takes, that is.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #228 on:** July 16, 2023, 09:21:18 PM »

Glad to hear DR JOHN G is close to home.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #229 on:** July 16, 2023, 09:21:54 PM »

I enjoyed reading FROM HERE TO ETERNITY.

Perhaps I need to read it again.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #230 on:** July 16, 2023, 09:22:03 PM »

Vibes for DR JEANNE.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #231 on:** July 16, 2023, 09:24:18 PM »

I have been watching a few productions of THE PLAY THAT GOES WroNG on Youtube.

And it makes me appreciate our cast and director even more.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #232 on:** July 16, 2023, 09:25:08 PM »

Glad to hear that MR BK's writing is continuing apace.

I affixed this decal to my window. Now the world makes a lot more sense.

Dino's is the best pizza in LA. It's a long delivery drive, but for 40% off and the sale delivery charge of .49 made it worth it AND it's still nice and hot.

That's great, BK!

Jane Birkin has died. She was wonderful in Evil Under the Sun, holding her own against Diana Rigg, Maggie Smith and Peter Ustinov.

She was only 76.

Does your church have air conditioning?

Yes

Then I am surprised the numbers dropped so drastically. I guess people prefer to stay in their own cool homes.

We had torrential thunderstorms and flash flood warnings this morning

I would have stayed home.

Ditto! $:-\$

I just ordered dinner to be delivered to a friend who is at home recovering from a recent major surgery. I hope the logistics work.

I hope so, and recovery vibes for your friend.

~~~Ditto and Ditto!!~~~
