Well, you've read the notes, the notes were hearty and said hello to July, and now it is time for you to post until the hearty hello cows come home.

Hopefully the heatwave is over. Last night the cats and I slept under the breeze of a cooling fan. Annabelle slept on her pillow which raises her higher off the mattress and gives her the most access to the fan. She stayed there all night.

Last night we watched Georgy Girl, which I had not seen in 50+ years since its first release. At that time I saw it twice, but I remembered next to none of it. I had remembered it was a comedy, but it isn't. I remembered it had great leads, and it does. Lynn Redgrave is so amazing, Charlotte Rampling never makes one effort to be likable as her whorish, shallow flatmate, Alan Bates is the epitome of every unattainable fantasy of an awkward ugly ducking, and James Mason - in whom the PC crowd would find creepy and lecherous (God knows what they would think of Moliere's School for Wives!) - as a sadsack millionaire maintains his dignity and humanity and yet remains the butt of the joke.

I always loved the pop version of the title song by the Seekers, but I had forgotten that the lyrics sung in the film are not the lyrics of the pop aong.

Cosby's sycophants can crow about vindication, but he's still a sex offender found guilty. In the 1990s I worked for aboutr a year with a young black actress named Amber, who had been involved with "Cosby's Kids," and she claimed he was a perv.

Looking forward to it. Thanks for letting me know it’s out.

Can I ask you, please, to sign this petition? Don't let these bastards near another animal.

If you’ve never seen it, I really recommend giving it a try.

My confession o' the day: I have never seen A.I. I shall make it a point to do so one of these days.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 01, 2021, 07:46:37 AM »

I liked A.I. when I saw it way back when.....but I'm not sure I even watched it all the way through.

DR ELMORE reminds me that I always like GEORGY GIRL when I watch it....and the song is different....but it's a great song and I think it had a lot to do with the movie's success in the U.S.

Of course I had friends who went to see The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie because they liked Oliver's song "Jean" and were very disappointed that it really had nothing much to do with the film.....

"...young and alive"?

Said DIVA arrived last night in a pair of white flat shoes.....

I called her to the principal's office and talked with her a bit. I told her she could wear whatever shoes she wanted to wear....but she said she didn't want to wear character shoes if no one else was.....

So anyway....we had a nice talk. She's still "helping" others....but she's a teacher and I don't think she can help herself.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 01, 2021, 07:49:57 AM »

I re-did a lot of GO GO GO JOSEPH and it looks really nice. Much better.

Of course I forgot to take my SONY camera to record it. My AD put it on her phone but she is.....technically challenged....and can't get it to load to Facebook....and she tried to put it on her IPAD....she says it's there.

But she doesn't know how to file share or anything....so here we are.

How does one get a file from an IPAD to Facebook?

The pop song is one of my favorites. I didn't realize it was attached to a movie, I'll have to seek it out

If you have the Facebook app on your iPad, it's very simple! Just go to Facebook like you are going to post a message, and choose to post a video, it will prompt you as to where to find the video (which SHOULD be in Photos on the iPad) and choose it and post it.

Good Morning - I'm about to give the BBQ another go this morning and hopefully can complete assembly before I have to get to school to teach my summer school class!

Saw it a few months ago and agree with Elmore. Despite some comical moments, it is not a comedy. And Redgrave is just wonderful.

Miss Jean is a bit older now, but thankfully alive.
