PAGE SIX!

Reading a psychological suspense thriller right now, Kill All Your Darlings, by David Bell. It's about writers, as you can probably tell from the title.

[singdaw]

Good night, friends.

[Freddie]

When my family plays Scrabble®, we have our own house rules:  everyone gets a printout of all the two-letter words, and you can look up words at any time to see if the word you're thinking of is a real word.  No one challenges the validity of words because we can confirm that they're real.

That sounds warm and civilized!

[Freddie]

So, we have Hitchcock and the two versions of The Man Who Knew Too Much. And we have Ozu with two versions of Floating Weeds. Anybody else remake his own work?

Does Cecil B DeMille and The Ten Commandments count as a director remaking his own movie, or are the two movies too different to make the second a remake?

[George]

The other limited edition flavor was pepperoni pizza roll ridged potato chips.

I wouldn't mind these.  I think I've had pizza flavored Pringles before.

I guess. And Frank Capra remade Lady for a Day as Pocketful of Miracles

[John G.]

The Story of Floating Weeds was quite wonderful..I will watch the remake later.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

Well, this is really cool:

Washington Is Now the Seventh State to Require LGBTQ+-Inclusive Curricula In Schools

A new law will ask public schools to teach the “histories, contributions, and perspectives” of marginalized groups.

I've seen the movie Kill Your Darlings but I'm guessing it's not the same  story about Alan Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac (sp?) and a murder

[Rodzinski]

I'm glad DR Rodzinski got back in one piece and is resuming his left coast responsibilities.

Sorry about the ear buds.  You can get those rubber thingies replaced, though, can't you?

The music in "Oppenheimer" was used excessively, and noisily, at all the wrong moments.  It's a Christopher Nolan oddity, IMO.  It happens in a lot of his films.

Thanks for all the welcomes back.

These are over the ear big ol’ headphones but for some reason the padded ear coverings separate rather easily. Replaceable but for like $60. So just annoying.

[Rodzinski]

I am pleased I viewed Oppenheimer with no sound.

[Rodzinski]

When I watched the Mary Tyler Moore documentary which, for some reason, had extensive audio from Rob Reiner and like 10 seconds of Carl Reiner, the movie went into how she took over for Tom Conti in Whose Life Is It Anyway? And I thought, wonder what Tom Conti is up to these days. And then of course he shows up as Einstein in Oppenheimer. Go know.

George's last post was at nine-thirty.

[bk]

What - he fell asleep again?

[bk]

Really?

[bk]

He WILL be held accountable for this dearth of late-night postings.

[bk]

This is wrong.

[bk]

I did not fall asleep.

[bk]

Nooooooo, I had to write notes and it's already 12:40 and he's STILL not here.

[bk]

I'm still here.

[bk]

I didn't eat a burrito or a taco, I didn't go down a rabbit hole, I didn't go out for a late-night confab.

[bk]

Nooooo, I had to write notes.

[bk]

Well, nothing to be done about such things.

[bk]

New notes are up.

[bk]

Up are new notes.

[bk]

I've seen them.

[bk]

I've read them.

[bk]

I wrote them.
