Liam says his favorite Gershwin song is "I love you, Corgi"

Freddie · « **Reply #35 on:** January 08, 2024, 07:07:41 AM »

Liam didn't actually say that, but it's implied

Freddie · « **Reply #36 on:** January 08, 2024, 07:07:54 AM »

or is it inferred?

Good morning, all.

I just watched - and fast-fowarded through - my DVR of the Golden Globes. I missed the first 20 minutes, AND the last however many minutes since the DVR didn't record the overtime. I'll have to catch those parts online somewhere.

What a dismal show, in so many respects. I used to ENJOY this one in all its drunken hilarity. And I was immediately reminded of what the Tonys and the writers strike taught us last year: the one thing writers should NEVER work on again? Awards shows. This one should get writers FIRED.

But I couldn't take most of the people, either. I've never fast-forwarded through so many bits.

Maybe later I'll tell you how I really feel.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #39 on:** January 08, 2024, 07:24:15 AM »

Well, I've got some stuff to do.

Later.

And see yuz all on Zoom this evening!

Tummy problems this morning. Interfered with sleep. So did falling rain and wind.

John G. · « **Reply #42 on:** January 08, 2024, 07:32:43 AM »

High winds are expected through the day.

Gershwin is great, but I don’t have the emotional connection to his work the way I do when I hear Porter, Kern or Rodgers and Hart. Still, I love:

Summertime
Lady Be Good
S’Wonderful
Kickin’ the Clouds Away
The Man I Love
Love Is Here to Stay

DR vixmom, at this point, the snow is either slush or melted. I just ran into my neighbor Brian on the elevator. He had been outside walking his beautiful German Shepherd Kiko in sandals.

Last night Annabelle and I watched Bros, the first mainstream film to crash and burn as a gay romcom. I thought it was outrageously funny, full of sick humor, and a complete hoot. The romantic leads are played by Billy Eichner, who co-wrote the screenplay, and Luke MacFarlane, star of multiple Hallmark movies and body by Michelangelo. DR Jrand73's favorite Will & Grace star, along with Kristen Chenowith and Harvey Fierstein, have funny cameo appearances, and the Hallmark movie jokes are frequent.

Amanda Bearse of Married With Children played MacFarlane's mother, and I kept thinking the actor playing his father looked awfully familiar. It was my friend George Dvorsky!

LOL DR ELMORE - I think my favorite part of that movie is the meeting at the non-profit where everyone is lobbying for his/her group......and of course nothing gets done.

Last night I was corrected MULTIPLE times about information on Francis (!) Farmer in a Facebook discussion that I was invited to.

So if anyone asks you what her mother's name is - remember her FIRST name was Cora even though she was called Lillian by her family.....I've never seen so many birth certificates, marriage licenses, and funeral information......

Freddie · « **Reply #49 on:** January 08, 2024, 08:25:41 AM »

Is the Golden Globes category for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement just an award for the highest grossing movie that also happened to be considered good?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #50 on:** January 08, 2024, 08:31:57 AM »

I’m doing my dissertation on Frances Farmer’s Armistice Day visit to the Columbia Club in Indianapolis, particularly on the unorthodox place-setting the waitstaff arrayed at her table and the potential meaning(s) of this vis-a-vis her relationship with her mother.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #51 on:** January 08, 2024, 08:32:35 AM »

Then I’m making that whole sequence into a musical.

It seems three of my picks for the Golden Globes won. That was nice.

Finishing up Anne Tyler’s Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. It’s an earlier work of hers that I somehow missed. Loved it.

I slept quite poorly. Too restless, too many aches, too warm, and possibly too quiet. The snow has left the city quieter than usual.

You have snow?

There was none at 33rd Street!

How far away from Larry do you live?

I was staying in the city this weekend I actually live about 50 miles from.Larry
