Well, you've read the notes, the notes saw David and Lisa and The Miracle Worker at the Fine Arts, and now it is time for you to post until the miracle working cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SANGUINE!

[John G.]

Good morning,all.

Vivid, disturbing dream that I had gone down to the city last night to see a late showing of Helen Mirren doing some Shakespeare. How I got there I don't know. I went to an off-broadway show I had seen before and felt asleep during it. When I woke, I was the only person left in the theater. I staggered out and didn't know how to get to the other theater, how I had gotten to New York or anything else. It was muddy and I was wearing mud-covered boots.

[John G.]

Off to the city.

[John G.]

This time I know I am going by train.

[Freddie]

This time I know I am going by train.

Enjoy the play, John G!

I feel as though I'm having PTSD over the murders of that squirrel and raccoon.

( slept well last night until 4:00 or so. It got very chilly last night, so I think it might be time to winter-ize the bed. Annabelle crawled under the blankets to get warm and, as she lay next to me and purred loudly, I got to wondering how I'd feel if some bureaucratic agency burst into my home to drag off the cats and euthanize them. That led to my anger and sorrow over a squirrel and raccoon dragged from the only home they knew, terrorized, traumatized, bewildered, and butchered. The alarm at 5:30 was a welcome relief.

On a happier note, last night I finished watching all nine seasons of Suits. Around Season 7, I started thinking the series went on too long, but I kept with it, and by Season 9 I thought it was back on its feet and the show came to a satisfying - often moving - conclusion, much like a good novel. I liked the fact that the show kept bringing back character so that, say, a plot in Season 9 could refer to characters and events in Season 6.

I was going to make pasta sauce today, but I forgot to take the meat out of the freezer to thaw. So, I guess I will make pasta sauce tomorrow. I may take an hour this morning to chop peppers and onion.

DR slingshot, your weekend plans with that baby in swaddling - is that supposed to be Jesus? - confuse me: are you doing S/M in bondage or celebrating advent?

Good morning, all.

There’s so much to have PTSD over this week.

We lived in Fort Lauderdale from 1960 to 1969, and my discovery of those two movies was at the beautiful old Florida Theatre downtown. That was also where we saw The Music Man and One Two Three and Mary Poppins and Bye Bye Birdie when they opened in town, and where I saw my first Hitchcock movies, the rerelease double bill of The Trouble With Harry and The Man Who Knew Too Much. And so much more. They showed everything, big and small, and there was always an audience.

The Fine Arts, of course, could not have been more perfect for those two, and I enjoyed my share of good foreign and art films there in the 70s and 80s.

[ChasSmith]

I also always recall a lovely Warner Bros. festival at the Fine Arts, revival house style, in the late 70s. And the full houses. I wish I still had the flyer from that.

Good morning!

Wordle:  5/6.  Too many rhyming words!

I slept too very well.

And now it is Saturday.  The sky is blue, the sun is shining brightly, and all is well until a day in January 2025.

TOD:

My favorite film from 1962 is my favorite film of all time:   "To Kill A Mockingbird"

Others I love:

"Lawrence of Arabia"
"The Music Man"
"Gypsy"
"Billy Rose's 'Jumbo'"
"Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"
"Ride the High Country"
"Advise and Consent"
"Rome Adventure"
"Mutiny on the Bounty"
"The Miracle Worker"
"The Longest Day"
...and many others, as well.  As BK said, it's a spectacular year for film.

I will add to the above "How the West Was Won", which is technically a 1962 film, but which got its greatest exposure in 1963 and qualified for the Academy Awards in that year rather than for 1962.  Had to do with when it first played in Los Angeles, IIRC, which was 1963,

I'd be interested in reading about other folks' opinions of a film called "The Go-Between" starring Julie Christie, Alan Bates and Dominic Guard.

I saved it on my DVR a month or so back when TCM was showing Christie films. 

I have very mixed feeling about this Joseph Losey film, as well as an aversion to its soundtrack written by the brilliant Michel Legrand.

Am wondering how others perceive it.

I simply understood it to mean he planned on napping
