Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no thrills, and now it is time for you to post until the non-thrilling cows come home.

Last night I watched on Netflix The Thursday Murder Club, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was a nice tonic, after my aches, pains,  pissing and moaning about my health, to watch a wonderful group of actors in my age group, led by Helen Mirren and Ben Kingsley, solving a mystery. I'll be watching it again.

So, today is laundry day, which should take up most of the morning. Then my friend Jim Vivyan is coming by. Now retired, he used to work for Random House, and he was one of the first friends to urge me to get a publisher for Anabelle & Thatch. I haven't seem him in years, so I'm looking forward to a nice visit.

Unlike the "thrillers", Truffaut's The Soft Skin certainly wasn't dreadful. I had no idea what this one was, and what a wonderful discovery. After seeing it, I watched the supplemental features (there's also a commentary which I'll listen to another time), which all relate to Hitchcock and his influence on Truffaut. I'd identified a couple of direct influences in the film, but there's more than I saw the first time, and of course he has a whole history relating to Hitchcock. What I really really wish is that they had filmed at least a few bits of their actual interviews for the Hitchcock/Truffaut book. Hearing excerpts of the tape recordings is wonderful, but a little bit of film there would have been icing on the cake.

Mickey 17 was a disaster on the way out, so I watched a documentary on The Beach Boys on the way back. Starts off great with archival and modern interview footage from actual Beach Boys and their family members. I was admiring that fact when midway through we start getting the opinions of a few 30-something random people. Was downhill from there.

Yesterday I was playing my CD copy of "Rare Tracks", and we weren't sure which event or which book it was for. I did a little searching in BK's notes, and I'm wondering if it was issued in conjunction with There's Mel... in 2010, which was a couple of years before I was here. It's the one that begins with:

We've got the shows, we've got the stars you want to see... NBC.

The notes also indicated that BK printed a booklet for it (?) - like, a track listing? That would be great to have if anyone has a copy.

Title: Re: THRILLERS WITHOUT THRILLS
Post by: Rodzinski on September 02, 2025, 06:34:03 AM
On the plane I also watched the first 4 episodes of Schitt’s Creek. And the first 2 episodes of season 3 of The Only Murders in the Building.
Title: Re: THRILLERS WITHOUT THRILLS
Post by: ChasSmith on September 02, 2025, 06:37:26 AM
Wait, that's it! I was just seeing track numbers on my screen, but the titles are there on what I was originally sent. And it is indeed identified as being from There's Mel...

I think it was DR George who sent me the tracks for 5 CDs, and I do have the book titles for the others. Excellent, and thank you again, George!

I would still love to know who's on all of these, if that information is out there.

Regarding The Soft Skin - it remains one of my favorite Truffaut films, top five. I saw it the day it opened here. I was already loving Francoise Dorleac from That Man from Rio, and I just loved the whole feel of the film and a great performance by the leading man. Also, one of my favorite Delerue scores.

Yes, I am loving these Delerue scores. I think I can say that in the films I've watched this week, they don't blanket the entire movie, they're just there when needed, and the music is wonderful.

That's excellent. Thank you, sir! Good to have it! Also, "my bad" for typing NBC instead of MBC way back there!  :)

May I ask if there were listings like this for the other four CDs?

I think there are some.  I'll check when I get home.

Doug Haverty sent me five choices for the girl's cover design - basically the only difference between them was the title font and colors. I liked 1 and 4 out of the five - they loved number one so that's done and Doug can send me the font and we can get the manuscript to the interior designers by the end of the week. She has her PDF for the blurbers, and her hubby has a Word doc so he can now just read the book and make sure we've caught everything.

If the uploads are working, here's the 60-year-old KLH Model Twenty that's responsible for some beautiful sounds for me in the bedroom. I was very lucky to find this particular one, because it is:  excellent cosmetically, has both the AM & FM radios (many of these had only FM but I think they were still called Model Twenty - go figure, KLH stuff is confusing that way), it has its original owners manual, the cartridge for playing 78s, and the speakers are in equally wonderful condition.

I had a B&O for several years, and eventually sold it when I went to the AR issued in the late '80s. It wasn't one of the big fancy models, 1700 or 17-something sounds right but I'd have to research it. It was a very good sounding turntable, though.

Post by: bk on September 02, 2025, 05:24:23 PM
I think I'm losing my sanity with these damn pills. I have the two I take daily next to each other. And when I do pill two and the Prednisone, I usually do pill two first, then the Prednisone. And that's what I thought I was doing, only pill two was bitter, which means it was the Prednisone, which means I had to have picked up the wrong bottle - they look identical - so I took pill two, but I suppose it's possible that I took two pill twos. I know I didn't take two Prednisones, at least I hope I didn't. I'm ready to stop all this, frankly. And to think tomorrow I pick up the fourth thing of pills that I haven't even started yet and won't start until I have a conversation. The fact is, when I was just doing the one pill I was actually feeling better.

Good idea. In different colors?  I would still put a rubber band around the Prednisone.  I have pills I take occassionally that I need to be careful with.  I always keep a rubberband on them.  I also do the same with eyedrops that I need to be careful not to confuse.

Yes, I am loving these Delerue scores. I think I can say that in the films I've watched this week, they don't blanket the entire movie, they're just there when needed, and the music is wonderful.

I think 3 of the 7 films in our class had Delerue scores. I enjoyed all of them, but my favorite was La monte-charge, which has some wonderfully evocative sax music in some key scenes. Your description is spot-on.

The new Robert Galbraith/J.K. Rowling book is out.


We've been watching the British series C.B. Strike, based on the book series "Cormoran Strike" by J. K. Rowling/Robert Galbraith.  Very compelling characters.

We're almost near the end of the second season.

Woo hoo - Hannah Cruz is playing Svetlana in the upcoming Broadway revival of Chess. I loved her singing of Inez on the Suffs album so now I'll get to hear her in person. There's also a nice big ensemble for all the juicy chorus music in the score.

The song is called "That's How Young I Feel," and was in the original Broadway production.  It was cut from the movie with Lucy.

Can you imagine how Lucy would have handled the choreography while she belched out “feel” every once in a while?

Lucy, you got some homework to do!  (almost a Ricky Ricardo quote)



Title: Re: THRILLERS WITHOUT THRILLS
Post by: Freddie on September 02, 2025, 07:23:05 PM
Google's AI does some explainin' of the Ricky Ricardo quote:

The line "Lucy, you've got some 'splainin' to do!" is a famous Mandela Effect, as it was never actually said by Ricky Ricardo in I Love Lucy. While he often told Lucy she had "some 'splain" to do, or "you got some 'splaining" to do, the exact phrase became popular through misquotes and parodies, with impressionists and comedians altering the line slightly for comedic effect.

Essentially, the misquote became more famous than the actual lines from the show, leading to the widespread belief that the exact phrase "Lucy, you've got some 'splainin' to do!" was a part of I Love Lucy.

Musically it may be the best, but I refer the original Broadway for the cast. Judy Kuhn was never better.
