Yep, that's Jane Russell in one of her costumes from THE FRENCH LINE.

THE FRENCH LINE was the 3-D musical that NO ONE talks much about. Of coruse, to be fair, it wasn't in the same class as KISS ME KATE.

CROSSING JORDAN had a couple of interesting cases. One concerned a body part pulled from the insides of a shark. Another had Dr. Macy's DUI arrest causing his testimony in a case to be questioned. And then, there's Jordan's involvements with Detective Woody and Reporter Pollack.

DR Tomovoz, is Charles Mesure a famous or highly regarded actor in Australia? He's been wonderful as Jordan's hunky boy friend on CROSSING JORDAN this season.

While waiting for '24' to come on (the football game ran long on Fox), I watched five or ten minutes of THE GREEN PASTURES. Have no opinions about it yet.

Thanks, DR Cillaliz - packing vibes to you! I started to wish you a snow day tomorrow, but it's a holiday, so you have the day off anyway, huh?

Yup! I'll be packing, meeting with the mover to get an estimate. hopefully taking the cats to the vet and then sitting back for dinner and the Golden Globes!

Ok, I have to confess I'm very excited because the National Championship Dog Show is replaying on Animal Planet. I know I'm a cat person, but I'm a sucker for dog shows. The cats watch with me, but they really aren't that interested

Oh, yes, I had seen that Matt Battaglia was going to be on 24. I forgot all about it, however!

You just never know where he will pop up!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #218 on:** January 15, 2006, 08:56:38 PM »

Well I decided to quit Netflix. I just don't watch DVDs very often. I tend to go to the theatre or run to blockbuster when there is something I really want to see, but missed. However that's only about once a month at most. So, I may have to find a rental place that has Bollywood.

I went to Blockbuster tonight to see if they had the Constant Gardner and Hustle and Flow. Totally sold out. I went to the little place around the corner and they hadn't gotten around to putting them on the shelf yet, so the clerk got them out of the box and gave them to me. And it was cheaper than Blockbuster.

Guess I'll head down for bed now.

Good evening, everyone!

Yes, TCB, Manoj Kumar was quite the hottie...although he did get a bit thick around the middle later after he hit stardom...guess that happens when you are no longer a starving Bollywood actor! LOL!

And of course he starred in one of my favorite Bollywood film GUMNAAM!

...and he will turn 69 this July...so still a bit young for me!

Matt, THE GREEN PASTURES is another film, like SONG OF THE SOUTH, that has suffered the effects of political correctness. If you can try to remember the status of black Americans in the 30s, both in film and on Broadway; the movie can actually be thought of as quite an achievement that it was even made. I saw the film on television several times when I was growing up, and I always enjoyed it as a heart-felt, and often humorous rual retelling of The Bible. Now days, the idea of this type of film being made would be impossible, but I think if you look at it as a historical document of the times it was made, it ican be a very enjoyable movie.

TCB · « **Reply #223 on:** January 15, 2006, 09:13:58 PM »

Mike, which Bollywood film is the remake of TEN LITTLE INDIANS? And which movie was the one you told me that has kind of an obscene sounding title?

Finally back from the matinee, which was very good, and an incredibly heavy meal at Lawry's, The Prime Rib, about which more later in the notes. I must now go sit on my couch like so much fish as I cannot move.

BK, glad to hear the matinee went well....
Onward and upward!

Good Morning!

Greetings from New York City!

-New York City?!?!?

The drive up from DC was uneventful and actually kind of nice. I decided to listen to the radio all the way up instead of plugging in my portable CD player. It was fun. Found some great stations out of Philadelphia, and I had a rockin' good time as I travelled the NJ Turnpike.

Oh! And I guess it did snow in New York City sometime in the recent past.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #228 on:** January 15, 2006, 11:49:22 PM »

...And I only had to drive around the block twice before I found a space on the street to park my car... Now I just have to search out some info on the web to see if the alternate side of the street parking/cleaning is "off" tomorrow due to the holiday...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #229 on:** January 15, 2006, 11:50:44 PM »

...And once I got into my apartment, I found some Christmas cards waiting for me - including one from DR Ginny - Thank You! - as well as my Local 802 membership materials!

OH! And the heat in this apartment works very well. -It's a bit "cool" outside right now.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #230 on:** January 15, 2006, 11:51:48 PM »

Well, I shall have to catch up on the rest of today's posts sometime "tomorrow" and/or in the morning... I need to get my self settled back in here and then get some sleep.

Laters... and/or Goodnight.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #231 on:** January 15, 2006, 11:57:46 PM »

YEAH!

I don't have to get up "early" to move my car! The Alternate Side Parking regulations are suspended tomorrow for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday.

*"Early" would be by 9:00... But I actually think I'll be up anyway by then. Whatever...

**And who knew the New York City Government observed so many holidays?

JMK we are both descended from a Lord which would make us Lady Jane’s, thankfully not Lady Jane Grey.

There are so many good movies out right now. Today we opted for BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.

I saw this tonight at the 7:20 showing. I got there at about 6:40 and was the third person in the theater. I saved a seat for my friend Margo, who was going to meet me there. Margo got to the theater at about 7:15 and the place was packed! I'm glad that I got there early and saved a seat, because there were hardly any available! Anyway, we both loved the movie! It was so sad, though. They both aged very well and were very, very, very (that's three verys) good. Highly recommended. Not much of a review, but I don't want to give anything away.

DR Jane - I only called See's to ask if there was indeed a Dark Chocolate California Brittle piece... I did not order any more candy.

-Besides, now that I'm back in the city for the day, there's Chocolate Bar, Li-Lac, the Hershey Store...

DR Rodzinski - As for the Seahawks win over the Redskins... Well... I was just glad that the game ended before the Overture began.
