I forgot to thank you, TCB, for the idea of adult milk of magnesia with my new tequila.

But then, I did enjoy this remake of Princess Bride.

I don't remember if I posted this link earlier or not.

It was filmed during quarantine.

I have a friend from college who, during COVID isolation, has turned himself into a fancy bread baker.

Wow! That's pretty cool!

Any Offenbach lovers want to expaqnd their collection? There's a great 30-disc set on Amazon!

I had gotten a couple of Offenbach operas on vinyl when I was in college and enjoyed them. I don't think I've listened to anything of his since. This might just be too cheap to pass up!

I think the only things on this I don't have are the German Tales of Hoffmann and the 6 Fables. The complete Orphee aux Enfers and La Vie Parisienne conducted by Plasson are quite good.

As far as film remakes: They should only be allowed to remake films that were lousy. I'd like to see Man of La Mancha and Guys and Dolls remade.

They should NOT be allowed to remake perfect films, like Princess Bride.

I totally agree! I remember when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were dating, there were rumors (not an April Fool's joke...but fortunately, unfounded) that they were going to remake Casablanca! WTF??

I'm hearing this kind of thing from people in other states as well, and it's an unconscionable situation. Unemployment departments everywhere have needed staffing, and more of it than usual, since this began a year ago.

At least for a while last summer, Connecticut had people picking up the phones from home to help answer questions and give people some kind of guidance through the system. For one brief shining moment, I was able to know I'd reach someone within one hour of dialing repeatedly. Then they cut back again, and it became impossible.

Birdy Barnum is playing with his abacus.

I have told him he owes me $92 for 2 1/2 years of seed, but he won't write me a check.

Jrand75 · « **Reply #78 on:** April 01, 2021, 02:13:50 PM »

I think he's checking my figures.

DR JOHN G - LOL there are few roles I would rather play less than Quasimodo.

I'm closing shop for the night. We're going to watch the Royal Ballet's production of Don Quixote, conducted by my friend Martin Yates.

TOD:

Remakes that work on their own. They may not be better than the original, but they stand on their own.

The Magnificent Seven
True Grit
Dawn of the Dead
The Thing
Heaven Can Wait
The Maltese Falcon
The Fly
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Is The Man Who Knew Too Much remake the one with Day & Stewart? If so I agree with all of these except for Body Snatchers since I don't remember much about it.

Sorry, DR Jane. I wasn't really being serious. And of course I don't wish that for you!

Two packages are coming but sadly it's Amazon delivering so he won't be there until the last possible minute, being the moron that he is. I won't know until then whether the important envelope has arrived.

No go go at the Indiegogo today. Hopefully, someone will come in for something.
