Watching Ballroom Bootcamp on TLC. Good show....this week, the Tango. Last week's Cha Cha was much easier because the Dance Discipline is really much easier. That Tango is Tough!

Hello peoples

I have been able to sign on and read but not to post for the past two days. I kept timing out and getting thrown out of the site ....let's see if this works

vixmom · « **Reply #214 on:** October 14, 2005, 07:41:48 PM »

Huzzah! I am posting again!!

I have received REWIND and devoured it in one sitting.

LOVED my sparkling prize! I enjoyed it on the way to the office and in the office this morning, but sadly, I left it ithere when I was forced to go out to a closing I wasn't supposed to attend, and never made it back to the office and so must do without it until Monday...

I have the same wishes and desires re: my sparkling prize as expressed by dear reader Dr. WFO earlier... I wonder if we have the same sparkling prize ( I suspect so)

I wonder how long it will take him to compile all that info so I can ~~steal~~ ~~copy~~ borrow it from him ...hmmm

It won't stop raining

I am tired of wet-vacing the basement

I am tired of wet footprints all over the front foyer

Vixdad is tired of climbing up and clearing the gutters

and going out in the street and clearing the drain

(I admit his rain jobs are much yuckier, wetter and dangerous than mine)

However did Noah and his wife manage?

We have a big Greek Orthodox wedding to attend tomorrow.

Vibes please that the rain stops sometime tonight and the day is bright and sunny for her

The church is at 10 and the cocktail hour starts at noon and the reception starts at 1 and runs until 5 or 6... then we must drive 60 odd miles out to my brothers' house to pick up the Vixter who is spending the night and all day tomorrow there .

I shall be E & T until at least Sunday afternoon I should think.

I'm in the book! Now, should I change my name on the site to my REWIND alter ego? Marty's wrong about the original orchestra sessions: we only had three strings at the beginning: Michelle on violin, Nick on viola, and Ted on cello. Only Ted, the best of the group, stayed around.

Reading REWIND is like watching parts of Bruce's life and mine flashing before my eyes!

I am sure you'e mistaken, it is after all a book of fiction... every word

I had a really full night of TV and video.

First up was the laserdisc of IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER. I haven't seen the film in awhile, and since it's not slated to come out on DVD until next year, I took the laserdisc from the Gene Kelly Collection off the shelf and watched.

The Eastman Color isn't the brightest, of course, but the print used is very good, and the stereo surround is magnificent. I had this HUGE grin on my face as the main titles played because the wonderful score is played so beautifully by the MGM orchestra in lush arrangements that just lift you up to a musical high.

After the movie concludes, two outtakes are presented: "Jack and the Space Giants," a tour de force by Michael Kidd that takes place in a kitchen as he cooks a wondrous meal while dancing acrobatically. An amazing achievement, and according to rumor, one that some internal jealousy caused to be cut from the film. A shame because the other two male stars each got a bravura production number and without this, Kidd comes off as a distinct third in the trio.

The other outtake is "Love Is Nothing But a Racket," a Kelly-Charisse comedy duet as the two covort through an array of costumes while singing and dancing. Silly fun but wisely cut from the film.

MattH

Are you feeling better?

I read Memiors of a Geisha a couple of years ago...I have a terrible habit of ignoring the name of the author on the book. I was very suprised when I went back and looked at thr cover and discovered it was written by a man. The book's "voice" is so well done.

I don't know from the movie, but I highly recommend the book

Matt H. · « **Reply #230 on:** October 14, 2005, 08:37:27 PM »

After that I watched INVASION from Wednesday night. It remains creepy and weird, and the alien plan for invasion isn't quite clear yet. It also contained some irritating teenage nonsense about leaving home and promising to return by curfew and naturally disobeying.

Not that teens the world over aren't sometimes guilty of disobeying, but after a terrible natural disaster like the hurricane that hit this town and weird things happening all around, I found it hard to believe this group of teenagers could plan this bonfire drinking party in the Everglades and not be found out by anyone's parents or the local law enforecement.

Naturally, something terrible happens to one of the teens who sees that shiny "thing" in the water. . . .

Kind of predictable.

Thank you for asking. No better but no worse. I will be leaving momentarily to dose up on Nyquil and get some sleep. I HAVE to go to SEUSSICAL tomorrow night unless this "flu" gets much, much worse. So rest is definitely what I need.

Matt H. · « **Reply #232 on:** October 14, 2005, 08:40:54 PM »

Put last night's JOEY on next. A snicker or two from me (more than WILL & GRACE got from me last night), but still such a lost cause. I really expect NBC to move this to another time before the season is out. I wouldn't be surprised if MY NAME IS EARL isn't moved here by midseason.

I swear by AlkaSelter Cold Medicine (but try and get the orange flavored one , the original flavor is too terrible to bear)

Oh DRMATTH - I have never heard of the Jack & the Space Giants number. I certainly have my opinions on the ego that had it removed, however.

I believe Ginny, Jane and Tomovoz have all said they will be in NY the first week of October 2006

Will Matt H and JRand be trying to journey to NYC that week as well?

Matt H. · « **Reply #236 on:** October 14, 2005, 08:45:02 PM »

And finally I got around to last night's NIGHT STALKER. Didn't really understand the premise of this week's monster. Yes, it was a spirit who could prey on a person's worst fear and destroy them with it, but the spirit contained in this old house could attack people whether they were in the house or not.

Call the old KOLCHAK series corny, but at least many of those were monsters that had some basis in supernatural tradition.

And again, no humor at all. The other reporter played by Gabrielle Union who scoffs at all the monster stuff has already gotten tedious. I don't know why the powrs that be thought Kolchak needed a doubting sidekick. And how many monsters before she starts listening and not deriding him?
