Last year 15,000 bicycles were removed from the canals.  The driver on the boat said he helped rescue a drunk tourist last night that fell in the canal with his bike.

Oh, my goodness!!

"The Lion" was one of only a few new films distributed by 20th Century-Fox in 1962.  That studio virtually shut down at one point while the production of "Cleopatra" was draining studio coffers, and nothing was left over except for TV production.  That's how I remember it, at any rate.

"The Lion" is classified as a British film, although it had some financing from Fox.  It had its world premiere in the UK   
26 July 1962 (London), 19 August 1962 (United Kingdom), and December 21, 1962 (New York City), That's according to Wikipedia.

Of all Malcolm Arnold's film scores that I've heard, "The Lion" is my favorite.  The film has had showings on the Fox Movie Channel over the years, and it looked pretty good when I saw it...but my cable service took that channel away three years ago and added it to a sports package that I refuse to consider.

The same thing happened to TCM here with Comcast.

[George]

Why would they make old movie channels be part of TV sports packages??

[George]

That's just money grabbing, if you ask me.

[George]

But what do I know.

Some random thoughts:

1.  There is an outside possibility that the event yesterday was meant to be "staged" rather than the tragedy it became.

2.  The photo making the rounds is so very much "staged", IMO.

3.  The young man was registered Republican.  So there is that element, and it's not a suprising one to me.

4.  The outrage is a bit much considering none of it was ever expressed when Gabby Giffors was shot or when Gretchen Whitmer was being stalked and targeted for assassination or when Nancy Pelosi's husband was brutally beaten in his home.

5.  I am so very tired of it all. 

#4 = HY-POCRACY!  It's what repugs do best.

Prime Time Musicals is one of the first BK cds that I purchased long before HHW.

I am thinking that the first was the Titanic CD with lots of great music....and then I started looking at the stores for the familiar Verese Sarabande purple edge.....and would buy anything I saw...especially if BK's name was on it.....I also bought the Godzilla and Superman cds.....

And then online I bought the Ronald Stein cd.....and then former DR JMK told me about this here site and I came here in 2004, I think....and even won a couple of sparkling prizes in the weekly trivia contests.....

So this is my 20th anniversary at HHW this year.

I love the Prime Time Musicals CD!
