And there was a pointless live-action THUNDERBIRDS movie last year with Bill Paxton. Whose idea was that?

Thanks, DRs Vixmom, RP & Rodzinski... I thought those puppets looked awfully familiar - TEAM AMERICA.

How funny to look back at what we used to consider good TV and what they NOW consider good TV. I'll take TV of the 60's & 70's over today ANY TIME!

I'm reading a good book called HOLLYWOOD TALKS TURKEY, about notorious film flops. I like it because it is strictly anecdotes and oral histories by actors, producers, writers. People just talking about their worst movies, rather than some critics just ripping stuff apart.

Great Lucille Ball anecdotes by the gal who played Vera Gooch in MAME.

Agnes Gooch. Vera is Bea Arthur's character.

I think I saw that book on your coffee table in the living room, Rodzinski...it made me giggle. That's my kind of book!!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #95 on:** January 04, 2006, 11:52:34 AM »

Indeed. Agnes Gooch.

I woke up with a miserable cold. I took some cold medicine which has effectively stopped the sneezing and coughing and allowed me to breathe freely.... but all I want do is go back to bed.

I suppose they would frown on using a sick day on the second day of the year, especially since I am coming off a vacation. $:-\$

I hope not... I called out sick today. On my way home last night, my upset stomach turned into a fever with chills. I felt a lot better upon waking this morning, but didn't think it was a good idea to spend the day interacting with kids. I called out, went back to bed and slept until noon. I think I'll be in much better shape to go to work tomorrow.

It is a pretty funny book.
You really learn how lucky a thing it can be to have a movie turn out well.

I am interested now in researching a studio called Enterprise that went broke making the movie THE ARCH OF TRIUMPH.

Jason · « **Reply #98 on:** January 04, 2006, 12:03:27 PM »

TPunk: I'm sorry you're feeling poorly. I'm sorry any of us is. I felt pretty crappy yesterday. I actually went to bed at 9:00, if you can believe it!!

I feel better today, but not 100% yet. I guess it's just that time of year....?

Rodzinski: How ironic - they were defeated by a movie about a symbol of triumph!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #99 on:** January 04, 2006, 12:03:28 PM »

Yes Enterprise thought they were on the cutting edge of production - hiring a BIG writer and a couple of BIG stars.... Unfortunately they produced a movie NO ONE was interested in seeing.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #100 on:** January 04, 2006, 12:04:15 PM »

I liked that HOLLYWOOD TALKS TURKEY book, too. Mine is the paperback with Lucy & Desi on the cover in a scene from...FOREVER, DARLING...

Thanks for the health vibes... i am actually feeling better now just very..... very....... sleepy ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Oy! Same thing here, sister! I was just in a meeting where I could barely keep my eyes open and had to keep pinching my legs to stay awake.

Jason, I don't know if you have the January schedule for Chelsea Cinemas. We can't go tomorrow. We have a friend in from Tucson and we're meeting him for dinner but click here

Where Dreams Come True

for the January Schedule. Nothing is up yet for February.

Betsy gave me something similar for Channukah--Never Coming to a Theater Near You, reviews by Kenneth Turan of lesser-known films. (supposedly, although a lot of them I've seen)

Good Afternoon!

Mail mailed. Hair cut-ted. Body worked out. Whew!

-OH! And now my niece and nephew have dropped by for a visit...

Laters...

And let us not forget my favorite STINGRAY!

Matt H. · « **Reply #108 on:** January 04, 2006, 01:17:00 PM »

Spent a great afternoon with THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, and magnificent they were/are. The 2002 DVD is OK in terms of quality. The sharpness is fine but the color is a bit dull (De Luxe was used). The titles are full of debris and garbage, but things clear up nicely once the feature begins. I only notioced a few speckles here and there throughout the film.

The sound has been repurposed 5.1, and it's OK but nothing stupendous. Hard to bring those mono soundtracks up to REAl 5.1.

I really like the movie very much, but I can't see springing for another one. I've watched this one now twice, and that's just not enough to warrant another purchase.

Wednesday greetings! This being back at work is interferring with my lifestyle

! Of course, it's also supporting my lifestyle, so here I am!

Sorry so many DR's are under the weather. The grantseeker who had made an appointment to come in last night called and cancelled because she's had a stomach flu since New Year's Eve.

On the other hand, one of my co-workers is back today after being off a month with a fractured foot (fell on ice). He's using a walker, so I told him he should see The Producers. He's actually glad to be back around people.

MBarnum · « **Reply #110 on:** January 04, 2006, 01:17:48 PM »

Hmmmm....maybe I should put Captain Scarlett into my Netflix queue...I used to watch that afternoons back in the 70s.

Matt H. · « **Reply #111 on:** January 04, 2006, 01:20:33 PM »

Didn't mean to leave DRs Ron Pulliam, Vixmom, and TPunk out of my good wishes for speedy recoveries.

And anyone else "feeling poorly" (a Prissy reference).

Hello all, good health vibes to everyone. I came home from work this morning and slept for 4 hours. I got up and had some home made chicken vegetable soup. I feel better but not quite there yet. I've very glad I decided to come home. I think I may be able to nip this in the bud

bk · « **Reply #113 on:** January 04, 2006, 01:21:26 PM »

Got one of my packages today - a UK DVD of Our Man In Havana with Mr. Alec Guiness.

Haven't seen it since it came out.

Ate some luncheon - light, but not very interesting.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #114 on:** January 04, 2006, 01:21:45 PM »

Thanks for the health vibes

Matt H. · « **Reply #115 on:** January 04, 2006, 01:22:28 PM »

I also watched last night's HOUSE. It's a rerun I remembered. Always liked actor Ron Livingston, and I liked this episode. The fact that he had a doctor as skilled as he is to counter al pf his quips and putdowns made for an entertaining hour.

Matt H. · « **Reply #116 on:** January 04, 2006, 01:23:20 PM »

Haven't seen OUR MAN IN HAVANA in many moons, but seems like Noel Coward stole the picture.

Matt H. · « **Reply #117 on:** January 04, 2006, 01:24:20 PM »

Got no packages today.

Jason · « **Reply #118 on:** January 04, 2006, 01:35:09 PM »

I took my phone off "Do Not Disturb" at 3:58pm. I JUST NOW HUNG UP. It will not stop ringing!!! ARGH!!!

Oh, rapture...during the marathon of phone calls I also managed to pick up 2 voice messages... $:-\$
