I don't know exactly when my review of BK's book finally showed up, but finally it has!  AND so has Vixmom's review!  You can read them here:

Well, this stood out in BK's notes:
"when the book is revealed I’ll probably make that cut section available, just because it’s kind of fun in a mean way."

That's certainly one heck of a teaser!

Last night I watched for the first time in around 30 years Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. I had almost watched it two days ago when I watched The History Boys instead. I've always loved the movie, both for its wonderful collection actors and its Grand guignol outrageous moments.

Last night I kept watching Bette Davis and her mood swings from over-the-top craziness to heartbreaking simplicity and thinking who could play this today and carry it off? Olivia de Havilland at times seems to be channeling Joan Crawford, the actress she replaced, in phony sweetness and then there's a fantastic shot - after dumping the body - where de Havilland's glare at Davis is so ugly and frightening that it's fantastic. I've always loved Agnes Morehead, and her "everything but the kitchen sink" performance is straight out of Tobacco Road and so zany. And what a wonderful lineup of men to play against these three dragons: the wonderful Victor Buono, the great Cecil Kellaway, a suave Joseph Cotton, Wesley Addy, George Kennedy, Dave Willock. . . . I may watch it again tonight.

As Annabelle would say, So much fun!

Well, I personally haven't taken a sick day (unplanned) in over 8 years. But we do have paid sick leave, which accrues. I have accumulated about 45 days' worth of sick leave.

DR Elmore, I LOVE Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. I went to see it three or four times when it played in Fort Lauderdale. I had totally loved Baby Jane before that, and I'm sure I was there for this one on opening day. Those two were endlessly fascinating - and scary! - for me then, and I was obsessed. These movies, and Roger Corman's Poe films in those same years, were central to my youthful discovery of horror.

It's very likely that I only "knew" Bette Davis and maybe Joseph Cotten as actors at that point in my life, and maybe recognized Agnes Moorehead, but on every revisit to this film (and of course its forerunner), I gradually came to know the others and appreciate them all the more. I know it was much later that I came to learn that that was Bruce Dern in one of his first roles. (Which reminds me. I must scan some photos...)

TOD

In the past few days I've watched Nightfall (1956) - I thought for my first time, but I did recognize an opening scene or two - because some friends had been talking about it. And since I'd recently watched 28 Days Later for the first time since seeing it in the theeder, I took the plunge and watched its sequel 28 Weeks Later which I ended up enjoying more than I expected to. (I do, however, have no interest in the new film in the "franchise". Enough is enough.) And something else. What was it? Oh yeah. I started Licorice Pizza which I'm completely delinquent in getting to, but fell asleep only a short way in, so that shall be revisited very soon and watched properly.

I can't remember now if I saw Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte as a high school senior or a college freshman, but it was most likely on its release date. I think the last time I watched it was about 30 years ago on VHS.

It is New Haven pizza -- in my humble view, the two descriptors are synonymous. New Haven is where Pepe and a couple of the others got their start, and they're even closing their original store tomorrow to give those employees the day off.

(To be truly celebratory, I wonder if it's with pay.)  :)

I desperately need to do more of this kind of thing over the next few days, but it'll be going to 90 and above, so I'll restrict that to the morning hours and take it easy indoors the rest of those days.

So, 50th anniversary for JAWS.

We know where BK was that night!

I wasn't at the first showing, but I've always remembered standing in the line waiting to get in for one of the evening ones, humming Schoenberg's Gurrelieder which I'd just played a couple of rehearsals for at the Cincinnati May Festival.

I should see what the starting times were, and take a stab at which one I saw. Place was packed to the rafters, of course. I got a front row balcony seat just right of center, and it was an evening - and an audience - never to be forgotten. God, do I miss those days.

Frank Pepe's, one of the great Connecticut pizzas, is giving away free pizza in celebration of their 100-year anniversary. It's only available if you're dining in, tomorrow (Sat.) between 11:00 and 3:00 pm, and only one per table. I think I could manage that, since their local spot is but ten minutes away. We'll see if I feel like doing that. Maybe I'll do a drive-by and see if there's a line.

Frank Pepe's is great pizza.

There's a town in the library district that has a festival I think every year and they show the movie and celebrate it, I guess.
Title: Re: STRETCHING IN THE HOME DURING THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: George on June 21, 2025, 12:04:08 AM
Anyway, the library branch in that town (I forget which) wanted new copies of the movie for the library system, so when we tried to order it, it wasn't available from most sellers...not even eBay.
Title: Re: STRETCHING IN THE HOME DURING THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: George on June 21, 2025, 12:04:53 AM
We found a seller in Canada of all places that had DVD-R copies for sale (they listed on their website that they had the rights to copy the move), so we ordered three copies.
Title: Re: STRETCHING IN THE HOME DURING THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: George on June 21, 2025, 12:05:58 AM
When they arrived, we watched it to check on the quality and it turns out that it was essentially just copied from TCM, but it wasn't even a good copy!
Title: Re: STRETCHING IN THE HOME DURING THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: George on June 21, 2025, 12:06:31 AM

After the movie ended, it looks like the guy just kept recording, but it's all black...no sound, no video, just wasted time.
Title: Re: STRETCHING IN THE HOME DURING THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: George on June 21, 2025, 12:08:05 AM
We figured that it was the only available way to get the movie to the library, so we sent out once copy with a note in the DVD case explaining why it was so wonky.
Title: Re: STRETCHING IN THE HOME DURING THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: George on June 21, 2025, 12:09:30 AM
Not too long after that, I noticed that Turner Classic Movies (TCM) was showing the movie again, so (for myself, initially), I asked my sister's boyfriend if he could record it and make me a DVD (this was before I was able to do that myself...and long before I got rid of cable TV altogether). ::)
Title: Re: STRETCHING IN THE HOME DURING THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: George on June 21, 2025, 12:11:12 AM
He was able to capture the TCM stream and found that it was in hi-def, and he made me a Blu-ray of the movie, and it looked great!  SO much better than the crappy DVD that we got from Canada.
Title: Re: STRETCHING IN THE HOME DURING THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: George on June 21, 2025, 12:12:44 AM
Since that was just recorded from TV, I asked my supervisor at the time if we could just copy my Blu-ray and send that out...and I suggested that Larry (my sister's boyfriend) could also make really good DVD copy and we could make 2-disc combo packs for the library.
Title: Re: STRETCHING IN THE HOME DURING THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: George on June 21, 2025, 12:13:42 AM
She said why the heck not, so Larry made three copies each of the Blu-ray discs and the DVDs, and I made up a DVD cover and we sent them out to the library.  They were VERY happy!
Title: Re: STRETCHING IN THE HOME DURING THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: George on June 21, 2025, 12:14:51 AM
They still have the sets and they're still being used.  And since they're not copy-guarded, if anything happens to any of the Blu-rays or DVDs, they can easily make new copies. ;)

Anyway, it was done in 2020, early in the pandemic, and this group had each of their members record themselves singing their own parts and then someone put them all together to make a very cool choral version of the song, and then Douglas Sills sings part of the song as a solo, then the choir joins him.
