This is long, so I'm glad I saved it before I tried to hit "Post"!

I would like to change my username to DR Iris, and no longer use “lurker”.
Can anyone here on HHW instruct me on the right way to do that?
Mind you, I’m still unable to place your quotes correctly, or know how to add links and photos. Sigh.

I nominate George. And I will just call you Iris, regardless of what it says on your posts.

Iris, at the top of each page is a link to your PROFILE.  Click or tap on that, then long-tap the MODIFY PROFILE.  This is on a device like a phone or tablet, but if on a desktop computer with a mouse, just hover over the MODIFY PROFILE button and a drop-down menu will appear.  Tap or click the "Account Settings" link at the top of the list, and that's where you should be able to change your display name.

I finished the DVD of Martin Chuzzlewit. Paul Scofield is quite wonderful, and I love Julia Sawalha, who plays abused wife Mercy Pecksmith Chuzzlewit. Her villainous husband is played by a wonderful actor I did not know, Keith Allen. Joan Sims, from the "Carry On" comediesm has a turn as an alcoholic Cockney nurse and friend of Sairie Gamp.

I've been awake since 4:23 a.m. when all I thought I was awake for was to visit the necessary.

Wrong. I was awake. Period. At one point around two hours later I began to drop off into a strange but totally harmless dream, but the cat sensed it and took care of that in short order.

At least I can tell the vax side-effect fatigue has left the building. I can get a few things done around here today.

Post by: ChasSmith on November 12, 2022, 05:05:12 AM
Steve Martin never appealed to me, going all the way back to his SNL days. His style and brand of comedy leave me completely uninterested.

After years of resistance, I finally watched two movies I thought he was fine in -- Leap of Faith, which I rather liked, and The Big Year, which doesn't do anything for me but I can get through it. I believe I found him fine in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels but I haven't seen that in years.

I, too, only ever saw the original Pink Panther film. That's not 100% true, as I know I've stumbled across one or two of the sequels on TV and maybe even enjoyed a scene or two. But I never sought them out and really watched them. I wouldn't go near the "remakes" with somebody else's ten-foot pole.

I enjoyed all of the Pink Panther movies - with Mr Peter Sellers.  There are usually lots of fun actors in roles......including Ms Capucine and Mr Robert Wagner.....

I still think one of the funniest things I have ever seen - I think it was in the first one - Clouseau is walking around the room talking and talking and a woman (I think it was the divine Capucine) screams and stands up......because he stepped on her toe.....

I used that bit when I directed Death By Chocolate and the audience was most amused.....

Steve Martin is an actor I have loved in a lot of things and not cared for in a lot of things. On the plus side:

All of Me
Pennies from Heaven
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Roxanne
A Simple Twist of Fate
L.A. Story
Little Shop of Horrors
The Spanish Prisoner

Love his score for Bright Star.

As for the Pink Panther, nothing beats the first two, A Shot in the Dark and The Pink Panther, though I also enjoyed The Pink Panther Strikes Again back when I was a youngster.

Am watching the Clemson-Louisville game.  The Tigers are 8-1 and ranked 10th in the country.  They were fourth this time last week but Notre Dame rather beat the crap out of them and the Tigers took a dive in the  polls.  Sadly there are teams ranked higher with two losses, including a loss, each, last week.

They just get no respect lately.

In the Unwelcome Trends department...

I've always been annoyed by the inclusion of "My Favorite Things" on Christmas albums.
The newest trend seems to be to include Joni Mitchell's song "River" as well, just because Christmas is mentioned in the first few lines.
The song has nothing to do with Christmas, people!    :)

Of course, we flew for free as stand-by passengers.

He wrote that part in the movie The Jerk just for her.

He is a very serious art collector.
I attended an exhibition of his collection in 2001 in Las Vegas.
Very impressive art, including Seurat.
He is nothing in person like he is on stage, very serious and extremely intellectual.

This does not surprise me.

In the Unwelcome Trends department...

I've always been annoyed by the inclusion of "My Favorite Things" on Christmas albums.
The newest trend seems to be to include Joni Mitchell's song "River" as well, just because Christmas is mentioned in the first few lines.
The song has nothing to do with Christmas, people!    :)

And Sondheim's "I Remember." ::) I know he wrote a new intro for Barbra, but I still think it doesn't work as a Christmas song.

Jaime Herrera Beutler has been our representative since 2011.  I think most democrats respected her.  I did, even when I didn't agree with her.  After January 6th she was scared and mad and voted to impeach Trump.  Republicans turned on her and voted for Kent in the primary.   Idiots.  They got what they wanted, Beutler gone.  Ha Ha.
