DR DtM - I would say that was a Trifecta year for you!!!

DR GINNY - we also grew up with the World Book which I thought had great pictures.  We had the Encyclopoedia Britannica as well which I loved for all of it's great HISTORICAL data.  And of course Lucille Ball hawked the EB in different magazines!

Kind of strange that Zach Braff grabbed a Golden Globe nom even though SCRUBS has yet to air this season.

We had the World Book encyclopedia, too.  I loved the year books.  We had a set that pretty much covered the 60s.

One of my most memorable Christmas gifts was a giant Prehistoric playset....lots of dinosaurs, cave men, plastic plants and caves/mountainsides! This would have been around 1972 or so.

As a child my Christmas gifts were usually a few new clothes for the coming school year (Which started on the first Tuesday in February) and a book by Enid Blyton of one of the Bobbsy Twins volumes.  I thought I was the luckiest kid. I'm glad I grew up in those pre TV days where children were seen as such a "market" and gifts had to be bigger and better!

Did he play a dead sailor?
BTW - it was filmed in Scotland not on The Isle Of Man.

The benefit that Skip did the other night went really well.  Ed Harris and Amy Madigan did a phenomenal job with a one-act musical that Skip wrote with Eduardo Machado about James Barrie and his wife reuniting after twenty years.  It was of course a thrill meeting the stars, as well as Josie de Guzman who also performed on the program.  And Toby and Dylan got to meet them as well, since the restaurant where the after-dinner took place was right across the street from our building.

Well, Toby and Dylan weren't actually allowed inside the restaurant  :) , but the stars came out of the restaurant for a while to meet them.

I must go pick up at least one package - The Five Pennies has arrived.  

The Golden Globes are a joke - they frequently nominate films that they couldn't possibly have seen - last year in particular, some movie was nominated that wasn't finished until just before its Christmas release.  Yet, they nominated it anyway.

Catching up...

Those of you who took the Old Folks quiz Vixmom posted yesterday, it was the MILLS BROTHERS who had the hit with "Cab Driver" and not the Ink Spots.

Adjust your scores accordingly.

My brother had that Girder and Panel set. He could make building so tall that he could build them around me, which he did once. I was standing inside a five-foot Sears Tower.

Add me to the voices crying out agains Tom Ewell. May he rest in peace, but I do not know how that guy got some of the choice parts he played.

He made up for his lack of acting skill by having no charisma.

Cholesterol-reduction vibes to JMK.

I remember TV commercials for margarine or something where Buddy Hackett was dressed in a shirt that said "Cholesterol." And he walked around muttering, "Nobody likes me."

Well.....if that is the case, I am embarrassed and old enough to say I made a perfect score on DR VIXMOM's quiz from yesterday.

Can you say, wheelchair?  Or at least AARP?

Ewell had a TV show that lasted a season that I remember....I didn't even think he was funny when I was ten years old.  He lived with his wife, his mother (Mabel Albertson, I think) and his three daughters and was the sad sack woebegone husband, father, son beset by all of these females.

It was painful.

[sob] My copy of THE FIVE PENNIES has not arrived nor have I even gotten a shipping notice. I bought a bunch of Christmas presents on the same order and perhaps some had to be back ordered. At any rate, no FIVE PENNIES yet.

I guess I could listen to the soundtrack CD.

Not strange at all. The Globes eligibility year is January-December, and SCRUBS aired from January through its last rerun this summer.

What I did get in the mail was THE SPY WHO LOVED ME to replace the older copy which would no longer play in any of my DVD players.

Naturally, I put it in to make sure it would play, and watched the whole thing. Looked good. I remember thinking before (when the old DVD did work) that the repurposed surround sound was very anemic, but this special edition sounded better to me, and the bass was definitely more than I remember hearing before.

Next, I put in THE DARK CORNER and watched the first 70 minutes of it. This Fox DVD looked great with just a couple of speckles and just a trace of dirt to mar what otherwise was a gorgeous black and white noir image.

One of my favorites, and what a cast! Lucy, William Bendix, Mark Stevens, Clifton Webb. They are great!
