Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a movie night, and now it is time for you to post until the MOOviegoing cows come home.

[bk]

And the word of the day is: NEGOTIATE!

[Rodzinski]

Notes dealt. Distributed.

Finished the "thriller" - every "now" movie cliche in the book - the ones I already mentioned and then many more. And the music, dear Lord the music is just horrible.

[bk]

The director has two films to his credit. We can see why? And the score? By his brother.

[Laura]

Good morning.

[Laura]

Four minutes and 25 seconds to drain a pint of blood from me.

I stay reclined a while before sitting up carefully. Then hang out a while enjoying junk carbs.

[Laura]

I learned why most of my donations go to California. Red Cross does not have the contract to provide blood to Phoenix. If I want my donation to stay local, I would need to donate to Vitalent.

[Laura]

You're welcome, California.

[ChasSmith]

Good early Saturday morning, all.

[ChasSmith]

I'm up early to be ready for the painters to arrive, and to prepare to work on some music that was thrown at me yesterday (someone desperately needs practice tracks recorded).

[ChasSmith]

Had me a little Friday night TOD last night:

THE CAREY TREATMENT, a Blake Edwards movie I was seeing for my very first time, and FLARE-UP, a Raquel Welch movie, likewise -- courtesy of a couple of Warner Archive DVDs I've had for years and never watched.

CAREY got pretty interesting as it went along, and I like it, though I didn't think the central love/sex relationship with the gal who moves in with him as soon as they meet was even a necessary element. But I enjoyed it overall and will give it another spin sometime.

FLARE-UP -- oh wait, I didn't finish it, I still have half an hour to go -- starts off looking like a psychedelic something-or-other from the swinging sixties, and it's far from being a great motion picture, but it has some generous period shots of late-1960s Las Vegas and, so far, some footage of upper La Cienega Blvd. and some PCH/beach stuff out way past Malibu (I think), and it didn't seem like they falsify any of the geography. I might be able to finish this one tonight.

This is the start of a little project I call Pulling Stuff I Haven't Seen Off the Shelf, Watching It, and Either Keeping It or Letting It Go. (Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?)

[ChasSmith]

And now, already, I must go. Maybe I can log in for a bit this evening.

Tomorrow is our sitzprobe and big tech rehearsal. Pray for the baby. I can't even think about that right now. In the scheme of things, it's just another element of the current HELL. Cheers, everyone!

TOD:  Back when SNL started, I'd watch it every week all the way through, but once it became possible to record on VCR, I'd usually record it and skim through it.

These days, I pretty much never watch it live, but usually watch SNL segments that seem interesting on YouTube rather than watching full episodes.

Good morning, all!

[Freddie]

Today is the last show of Chris Wallace's always entertaining Saturday morning 10 a.m. CNN show.  He's also leaving CNN soon.
 

[Freddie]

Looking forward to seeing if they do anything special for his last show, or if they just do the weekly show as usual, with the usual format, and he'll then say goodbye to the viewers at the end.

Last night, around 7:30 or 8:00, someone knocked on my door. When Amazon makes deliveries to my apartment instead of lereaving them at the mailboxes, the driver rings my bell to alert me. So, I figured, am I expecting Amazon?

At the moment, I had Annabelle sitting on my chest and Stella lyiong at my side, so I figured I'd just wait until the morning to see what had arrived. This morning, I opened the door to find two 29-lb cartons of kitty litter staring at me. I don't know if the delivery was from UPS or Fed Ex, or if the cartons were brought up by one of the nice young men acting as the building's caretakers.

I enjoyed BK's movie critiques. September 5 sounds like something I would like to see. I didn't know about Saturday Night, and I first thought BK was watching Sa Night Fever (I had a friend in that).

[elmore3003]

I'm not doinf much today. The tsuris of the past few days has left my gastric system in an uproar. I think I will take the weekend very cautiously.

[elmore3003]

I watched Saturday Night frequently, but not regularly, in its first seasons, and I enjoyed the original cast. I stopped watching in 1979 when I moved to NYC and I had no television.

Last night I began reading Grover Dale's autobiography, which is quite a good read. Both this book and the new Thomas Shepard book are hardcover, but the binding seems so tacky "schoolbook from the 60s."

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Did not sleep most of the night.

I find books from Applause publishing to be like that. Didn’t know Grover Dale had a book out.

[John G.]

ChasSmith, I also have an excess of movies that I haven’t watched yet. So I bought another yesterday.

[John G.]

Amazon is also selling Criterion movies for 50% off.

[John G.]

I ordered Wages of Sin, that Mexican musical that fascinated me.

[John G.]

Uno mas.
