BK posted about watching the 1964 film Shock Treatment, which I have just downloaded. Looking forward to sitting back and watching it later.

I discovered this one either through seeing a trailer back then, or in finding the movie tie-in paperback. I was crazy about those, and I scarfed up anything that looked interesting, especially thrillers.

What's insane is that, to this day, I have no idea whether it ever came around to where we were living, or if I ended up seeing it, or didn't see it. It's all a blank. I'm thrilled that this copy is up there, and l'll just have to see if any of it seems familiar to me.

I was in a small city when this movie came out, DR Chassmith. "Shock Treatment" played at the Carolina Theater in Greenville SC. As was true with other 20th-Fox films that came in, if it wasn't packing them into theaters in the major cities, their play dates were usually Monday through Thursday in Greenville. I missed quite a few films back in the day, including "A High Wind in Jamaica". That latter film I saw on TV years later and was surprised/delighted to find it wasn't a Disneyesque kiddie film but an actual adult action film with talented youngsters in key roles.

Fox blew the publicity on quite a few films as did all the other studios (except, possibly, Disney).

Conversely, when re-releases came out, they also filled the Monday-Thursday slots. I did get to see "The Robe" and "South Pacific" that way.

Oddly, "The King and I" hit town, but was across town at The Plaza Theater which took way too long to get to and back home. That theater usually showed MGM and Paramount and United Artist film, but, inexplicably, got the re-release of "The King and I" and the first-run roadshow dates for "My Fair Lady". It played for about 9 weeks, so I did get to see it.

Sidenote: For my money, Shock Treatment of 1981 is a great movie, better than Rocky Horror and ahead of its time as a media-saturation satire.

Shock Corridor is another good shocker.

I never could read on a treadmill until I got a tablet. I am very grateful to be entertained instead of being bored out of my mine

I have my iPod and earphones...listened to LOTS of music while walking.

Are you referring to walking on a treadmill?

To me, there is a big difference between walking outside and on a treadmill. I need someplace interesting for my eyes and brain.

Yes, on a treadmill. I get thoroughly immersed in my music.

Austin Pendleton, who has been a huge part of Steppenwolf’s season, has withdrawn from the Pinter play, No Man’s Land, which he specifically wanted to do. For personal reasons. Hope he’s ok. Wonder what’s going on there.

Had Panda Express for food, had some telephonic calls, but mostly I spent hours futzing and finessing and moving stuff around, resulting in about four new pages, maybe more and as soon as I'm finished with the sequence I'm in, which should be another three pages or so, then things get much easier.

Austin's a friend, and I haven't seen him in years. I hope he's okay.

DR Ginny, how do you keep people on track in your book group? Does someone lead the discussion and keep others from wondering away from the book?

I find my current group frustrating at times.
