Three!

[John G.]

Getting a little work done. Not too much.

[Ron Pulliam]

And the holiday week starts off with a $$$ thud.

My termite control company came to renew the treatment around my home.  This included an underneath-the-house inspection.

Lo(!) and behold!  Moisture has set in and poses a problem.  Solution: An encapsulation and installation of a dehumidifier under the house.  It's not cheap, and it will take several days, but I have known for a couple of years that this was inevitable.  I have been running a dehumidifier during the summer inside my house and have to empty its water container several times a day.  This was not so a few years ago, but we have had very wet summers and humidity has been high.  I may as well get it done now and face 2024 with some sort of accomplishment for the house.

Owning a home is costly, ain't it!

I guess I won't be going to Europe next year.

Oh my - and the money keeps rolling.....out.

TOD - how in the world could I forget Miss Hayley Mills?

Fie!

[Ron Pulliam]

Oh my - and the money keeps rolling.....out.

And I just caint stop it!

The presentation yesterday of THAT GUY WHO KNEW WAY TOO DAMNED MUCH was incredible. No one has ever seen this film with the clarity - and the sound - it has now. My jaw was on the floor throughout, and it renewed my love affair with what was actually the first Hitchcock film I ever saw.

BK:  I don't remember - was it your first Hitchcock, or had you seen any others prior to that momentous day?

BK saw it during its original release. My shot at it was in 1963 when it was reissued on a double bill with THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY. The latter kind of bored little DR ChasSmith then, but he was thrilled with TMWKTM.

It's this and a few handfuls of other superb 4K releases that are nudging my ASS toward upgrading my player to 4K...and eventually the screen, of course, but one can at least watch the discs on one's existing screen.

Here's the Q&A afterward with Janet Maslin (former NY Times critic) and Robert Harris who helped restore the film.

BK, now that you’ve directed 70, Girls, 70, what do you think of the song Home? It was on Sondheim’s of songs he wished that he’d written.

I never knew it was on Sondheim's list, but I have always loved the song.

I'm sorry about your major expense and hope you can still get to Europe next year.

I have too. Kander was slightly mystified and humbled that it was the one song of that he singled out for such praise.

My friend Jay just shared this with me:

Just got an email from Annie Morrison she’s in the 54 Below Sondheim Unplugged at 7 pm Sunday. Available for steaming for $28.50. If I get home in time I’ll sign up. LIVESTREAM: https://54below.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/instances/a0F5d00001IorXhEAJ (https://54below.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/instances/a0F5d00001IorXhEAJ)

That's great!  I wish I could see it. I'm ushering for two events on Sunday, and I'll be in the middle of the second one when that starts.

[Jrand74]

DR RON PULLIAM that happens so much nowadays that it is a pandemic.

[George]

DR George, Cool Whip is not whipped cream   

Yes, I do know that...and I certainly do prefer whipped cream to whipped "topping."

[Jrand74]

Thank you DR CHAS SMITH.

I saw it that man who knew too much at the drive in so probably second run when I was seven or eight.

It had been talked to me by a boy my own age at the the playground who couldn't praise it highly enough.  Of course he and I identified with the boy.....and when I saw it, I was floored.....

I don't want to say it's my favorite Hitchcock film....but I would be hard pressed to find another because of my first viewing of it.

The only one that compares is North By Northwest......despite Eva Marie Saint's clumsy performance.

Add me to the lovers of that song.  I also love "Boom Ditty Boom."  Musically, it's just so much fun!

[Jrand74]

I am very excited because tomorrow two lovely Indianapolis actresses who were very active with me during the heyday of the Phoenix Theatre are coming to my house for lunch.

This is of course in response to my participation in the Trail Talk about the 40th anniversary of the Phoenix Theatre that happened on November 5.

I am very excited to see them both!

What was the first movie that Janet Maslin reviewed when she started at the NY Times?

It's a wonderful song and a ton of fun for the cast with all the la las and chukka chukka chukkas and boom booms.
