Did anyone portray John Garfield?

It only covers the four years of Capote's researching and writing of IN COLD BLOOD. Garfield was long since dead by that time.

Cillaliz, nice picture. Was your hair strawberry blond there or is it just the way the photo is tinted? Either way I like it.

LOL I hate that photo of me. It may have been a bit redder, I used to dye it that way, but I think it was the lighting, that was last February in New Orleans

I see that FOX is releasing a 2 disc DVD of CLEOPATRA in February. I remember when that movie would show on network television back in the 70s...I seem to recall enjoying it.

Also releasing from FOX is MAKING LOVE. Haven't seen that movie in many, many years...although I do have the VHS of it.....and volume 1 of VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA! I hope that means that LAND OF THE GIANTS might follow eventually.

What is the CLEOPATRA that I have - 3 discs or only 2? Haven't watched it since I first got it several years ago.

Good news about MAKING LOVE. I burned my own DVD of it from a Fox Movie Channel showing a month ago, but a commercial release will be nicer.

Volume 1 of TIME TUNNEL is coming, but I haven't read anything about LAND OF THE GIANTS.

I've been having issues again with my laptop, so instead of risking losing everything again, I bought an external hard drive last night and backed up my entire laptop hard drive. (I used to just back up the files I didn't want to lose) So, now I can rest a little easier.

I just read Ben Brantley's review of SWEENEY TODD - a love-letter if I ever read one. The guys at Talkin' Broadway equated it to the dessimation of American musicals by the Brits. I haven't found the reviews for any of the other papers yet.

My review? I loved it.

Well, it's been an insane week at work and one more day to go before I can take work home for the weekend! I'm going to wussburger. I'm going to see Dolly Parton Saturday night. I'm looking forward to it.

I spent a long evening watching television rather than DVDs.

First up was last night's CSI: MIAMI. Once again, the forensic cat and mouse games are as intricately written as on the other two CSI shows, but there isn't an actor here who's generating a tenth of the charisma of George Eads or Marg Helgenburger or Khandi Alexander or Jonathan Togo on the other shows. They're fine actors but there's just no spark, no character intensity that rivets me to the screen.

Maybe that's why the other two are Top 5 shows, and this one barely makes the Top 20.

Not being a hard core Sweeney fan , seeing it on the first night of previews and then having everyone from HHW who was in NYC at the time ask me what I thought about it was a little intimidating. (I am just a country girl from Iowa)
As I said then, I loved it. It's really nice to see so many of you loved it too.

Jason · « **Reply #159 on:** November 03, 2005, 08:23:24 PM »

Associated Press loved it, too...

For one of the few times ever, there were many more laughs for me on JOEY than there were on WILL & GRACE. Neither is a laugh riot, but any time you try to teach Joey a game with even a slight set of rules (Texas Hold 'em tonight), he's hilarious.

Remember how hysterical he was playing the $100,000 PYRAMID during the last year of FRIENDS? He'd blurt out the first things that came into his mind regardless of the clues, and his kicker was always "a ghost?"

Priscilla - I hope you enjoy Dolly. I saw her last year and she was SUPERB! What a wonderful performer...

CSI had an interesting show that pitted head forensic scientist Gil Grissom (William Petersen) against another forensic expert who had cleverly doctored evidence for a fee. It was up to Grissom to find out how it was done and he was working against a court deadline.

The other case had to do with an immaculate conception. Needless to say, the path was twisty and confounding before we got to the surprising conclusion.

WITHOUT A TRACE took the agents to MExico tracking down a missing husband abducted there by thugs who were demanding a ransom.

OK story, but the solution to the mystery one could see coming. Not one of the show's better cases.

Tonight the DVR is picking up RIDE THE WILD COUNTRY off TCM. I've never seen Randolph Scott's last movie, and since it's an established classic of the genre, I figured it was about time to catch up with it.

I'm sure I will. I've never seen her live and I have a great seat, so I'm sure it will be a fun night.

Just two more papers, then final exams, and then after a few days' worth of coma, I will be able to rejoin the living.

And then tomorrow night is the church's coffee house's pre-opening opening, and I can't even make coffee.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #168 on:** November 03, 2005, 08:39:52 PM »

But there's a way to go before we get to page 7 and I really do need to get some sleep

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #169 on:** November 03, 2005, 08:39:53 PM »

Matth, I hope what your DVR is picking off is Ride The High Country; not Ride The Wild Country. Ride The High Country is a great movie!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #170 on:** November 03, 2005, 08:40:17 PM »

Ok, so I'm not going to sleep. I'm going to read Devil in the White City for awhile. It's really quite good

Yes, that's it. Extreme exhaustion causes the brain to shut down.

Matt H. · « **Reply #172 on:** November 03, 2005, 08:47:58 PM »

And on that note of fatigue, I'll say good night!

Er, . . . . good night, everyone.

Elmore, we looked at Montego but the CD decided she wasn't right. Too something or not something enough, you know how it goes. I actually pulled her picture out of the file for consideration, but he didn't go for it. Oh well.

Joy · « **Reply #175 on:** November 03, 2005, 09:08:46 PM »

Jed, yes, at some point while I was E&T from HHW I made the switch to the other side of the table. So far, so good. There are lots of reasons, but they're all positive ones, so let's do a new page to celebrate!

Joy · « **Reply #176 on:** November 03, 2005, 09:09:38 PM »

Jane, Ron Pulliam beat me to it... but the answer is, Jimmy Smits and Rebecca Jackson Mendoza. That, apparently, is where Leia got her Latina fire.

Francois, I will step in in Ben's absence and answer the question about Souvenir, the show where Judy Kaye plays Florence Foster Jenkins, who was unable to sing but did anyway, to thousands of appreciative audience members -- and at Carnegie Hall! I loved the show and have never laughed so hard in a theatre. I almost had a breakdown because I couldn't stop howling and the tears were squirting from my eyes. And then it suddenly turned on me and found myself sobbing from an incredibly poignant scene which I cannot reveal, because anyone who can must go and see this gem for themselves.
