Finished CODA (all caps) - not a film I knew much about other than something about deaf people. But what a charmer it is - winning and funny and moving and with a lead performance that radiates right off the screen - Emilia Jones is the name and if there was any reality to the Oscars this nineteen year old would win best actress - best performance I've seen this year and she sings really well, too. And the director just tells the story so simply and effortlessly - Sian Heder is her name and I found her soooo much more talented than the woman who directed Nomadland. I laughed, I cried, I ate a caramel. The three actors who play her deaf family members are all deaf and what performances they give, especially Marlee Matlin. There's a wonderful moment during the singing of a duet in a school concert, where we're listening to the song and the audience attending the school concert is enjoying it - the deaf family of the hearing teen is there and they don't really know what they're singing up there - and it's a nice moment that's suddenly turned transcendent when the director takes the sound out right in the middle of the song and you experience it just as her parents and brother are. It's a great moment. Probably my favorite movie of the year now.

It's been hell already. My Spectrum cable was out of service for around 15 minutes sfyrt I logged onto the computer, and this happens far too often, I honestly do not think it's the vable in my apartment since in the past year two technicians have been here to check out the situation.  I think it's in the main cabe to the building.

It sounds like MR....uh....LORD BK had a nice day yesterday.  I enjoyed reading about CODA.  I may see it sooner or later.  I worked in the business office at the Indiana School for the Deaf for about eight years.

It was interesting and fun for the most part.  Until we got a new business manager who couldn't manage tying his shoes, let alone a school budget.....  I stuck it out for a year or two and then moved on.

Adding CODA to my mental* list. I’d heard about it, and I think I saw a trailer, but I hadn’t realized Marlee Matlin is in it. Always liked her.

*mental — ha! Like I’m going to remember all of these titles. Time to get them written down somewhere.

Harriet Walter, who was so good as Lady Macbeth in the video I watched recently, is one of the best things about The Last Duel. She has a deliciously nasty role as the mother of Matt Damon.

A colleague gave me a batch of home-brewed Coquito, which we enjoyed last night. I admit I had to look it up (below). It was delicious.

Coquito, meaning "Little Coconut" in Spanish, is a traditional Christmas drink that originated in Puerto Rico. The coconut-based alcoholic beverage is similar to eggnog, and is sometimes referred to as Puerto Rican Eggnog.

I used to hire my friend, Betzy, when I went on vacation.  She lives near my old apartment in north Tacoma (which is a long drive to my place), she is now working full-time as a social worker (so she no longer needs the peanuts that I paid); and finally, she is currently in bed with CoVid.

I am surprised you made it to the theater.

I was a good thing I went!  I got a call from the house manager as I was driving there, asking if I was on my was.  I turned out to be the ONLY usher!  Someone did work concessions, but the house manager scanned tickets, and a higher up in the WCPA came and checked Covid cards.

I am sure you were very much appreciated today.

Had lunch with friends today. Cecil smoked some antelope, which was quite good with scalloped potatoes, and Pam made a salad with items from their garden. I brought the lime coconut chess pie, which was just tart and light enough after that to work beautifully.

TCB, will the cats be able to join you there?

ROTFLMAO!!  That wouldn’t work.  They have two dogs, and Jim claims to be allergic to cats.

Too bad.  What happened to your cat sitter?


You mean Micheal?  He is still taking care of the kitties.

You used to have a cat sitter I thought was also your friend.


I used to hire my friend, Betzy, when I went on vacation.  She lives near my old apartment in north Tacoma (which is a long drive to my place), she is now working full-time as a social worker (so she no longer needs the peanuts that I paid); and finally, she is currently in bed with CoVid.


That explains why she wasn't sitting this time.  I hope she recovers quickly.

Watching a documentary about Buster Keaton at MGM. Then I'll watch Keaton's The Cameraman, which is considered the last great silent movie he made.

There's another extra on The Cameraman disc that his Lordship would appreciate. It's called Time Travelers and it takes a look at the forgotten LA that Buster Keaton captured in his films. In The Cameraman, there are images of Hollywood and Vine in 1928, plus the Venice Plunge, an enormous public swim pool.

My one and only self-cleaning oven was a disappointment. It didn't do a very good job at all. I had to do the old elbow grease method.

There are DYI formulas out there. No toxic fumes. There are also some very good non-toxic product line out there, but I've never looked for an oven cleaner. (My current oven hasn't worked since I moved in, but it's clean!)

I was happy to see the sun -- and I enjoy rain. But rain is not so enjoyable when you're worried about your roof. As you know, we can't handle a lot of rain. Best to have a break here and there. It also gives us a chance to run an errand or two before the next downpour.

What is the strangest thing that has happened to you when you made an internet purchase?

Shortly after I bought my new phone, I bought a new phone case.  It didn't arrive by the expected date, so I got an automatically generated e-mail saying that if it didn't arrive in a couple more days, I could ask for a refund.  It didn't arrive, so I asked for a refund. 
Title: Re: LORD BK
Post by: George on December 26, 2021, 08:29:48 PM
I then reordered the case, thinking that it was just lost in the mail.  I got the refund pretty quickly, and then I received in the mail what I thought was the second case that I'd ordered...but it turns out that it was the first case that I'd ordered because a couple of days later, I got the second case!

Listening to Some Lovers, the new Bacharach album, even though it's not really his - it was produced with Broadway singers, the producers were not Bacharach, the orchestrations are by Jonathan Tunick, who orchestrated the production of this show back in 2011 at the Old Globe. You know that I love Mr. Bacharach and have for almost sixty-five years now. And the problems with this album have nothing to do with him, the main problems are the horrible lyrics by Steven Sater, lyricist of Spring Awakening, which I can't even listen to. The songs are very musically Bacharach and he's still got it, but there are no instantly memorable things here, but Sater is not Hal David or any of the other lyricists that Bacharach has worked with. I also think the album if fussily produced, a bit inconsistent, and some might say overproduced - it's really hard to make Kristen Chenoweth sound like some singer we've never heard. It's supposedly based on O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi, but I don't know that story, but I'm thinking they should precede the word "based on" with "loosely". There's a song called This Christmas, but I like mine better :) And then there are the singers - I'm just enamored of this new crop of Broadway singers - the men all sound the same and so do the women.
