Guess I should figure that out.

[bk]

I have nothing in the house.

Enter page five.

I finally have an answer why the site had been screwy over the past week - trying to do something about it now. It's most amusing and truly explains the GUESTS of late.

[bk]

Soon they WILL be late GUESTS, if you get my meaning.

[George]

This made me think of DR elmore3003, for some reason:

Congrats!  Me too!

Thanks, Kevin, and Congrats to you!

I still buy cast recordings, but not as many as I used to.  I need to stop slacking in regards to the purchasing of said recordings!

I can't remember the last CD I bought. I think my daughter gave me "Something's Rotten" for Christmas one year. How long ago was that?

Ten years...it was released in 2015!

[George]

No The Baker's Wife?

Too long for this class!

Ah.  I remember seeing it years ago during a local film festival.

[George]

Had a grilled hot dog with chili cheese and onions  from the Beverly Glen Deli - boy do I miss Jerry's Deli - best chili cheese and onion hot dog ever.

What a coinkydink (almost).  Today, I got a Combo sub at the local Meconi's, and on a whim, I also got their chili with cheese and onions.  Quite tasty.

I wonder what it could be!

Give 'em hell, Harry!

Good morning all! I signed up for next term's film class, "90 Years of French Cinema." It starts on the 26th and goes for 7 films, skipping one week in July. My wife has signed up too after seeing how much I enjoyed the last class.

I hope you watch The Blue Angel, with Marlene Deitrich playing the heartless boozehound harlot Lola Lola.

That would be a class in German films. Do you know, DR MichaelG, what the films will be?

The tentative list is:

• Port of Shadows (1938)
• Les Diaboliques (1955)
• Le Monte-Charge (1962)
• The Soft Skin (1964)
• The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972)
• La Balance (1982)
• Summertime (2015)

I know all but La Balance and Summertime. Port of Shadows is wonderful proto-noir.

[John G.]

I'm tired. But it's too early to go to bed.

[John G.]

Finished all the stuff that isn't the introduction.

No Agnes Varda and no Rohmer. Unless Summertime is Rohmer's Tale of Summertime

[Rodzinski]

Mrs Rodzinski left early this morning to go to Sea-Tac for a flight to Albuquerque. As I got the kids to school a couple hours later, she phoned me. She was upset and hurt, having been run into by a speeding driver and smashed into a guardrail. The little Audi protected her as its last duty as a functioning car. Airbags deployed. State troopers helped her out. This was on I-5 in Marysville, George, if you remember that place. The airbags scuffed her arms pretty bad, but she is otherwise ok, physically. The perpetrator did at least stay and help and admit his fault.

[John G.]

Vibes for the Mrs. Rodz. That's a scary story.

[MichaelG]

No Agnes Varda and no Rohmer. Unless Summertime is Rohmer's Tale of Summertime

You can't get to every great French director in just 7 weeks! I think he may be veering away from some of the ones we are more likely to have seen on our own.

[Rodzinski]

In the moment, I had one kid who was freaking out and could not attend school and one was fine to attend. So I dropped her off, then the boy and I headed south. Didn’t really know where Marysville is, and she hadn’t yet texted me the specific place she’d be. Tow yard or hospital or what. I pulled off the highway at one point to check my phone. And pull into a gas station, then a cop knocks on my window saying I didn’t stop fully at the highway exit stop. I explain my situation. He lets me go with a verbal admonishment.

[MichaelG]

The course description mentions some different films from the syllabus, so we'll see what the list really turns out to be.

[MichaelG]

Hope Mrs. Rodz is OK!

[Rodzinski]

Found the tow wrecker place, where she was waiting with everything removed from the car (except our garage door opener, d’oh!). We went for a comforting lunch in Bellingham. Then to a walk-in clinic where she was given a tetanus shot which I guess is a thing when your airbags deploy. Insurance set us up with a rental car. So she drive the boy home while I picked up the girl at a friend’s house.

[MichaelG]

Summertime is the Catherine Corsini film.

[Rodzinski]

Thanks fellas. She’s banged up but ok. Just shocking for us.

[bk]

Finished with my viewing and must now write some damn notes.

Oh, my goodness!  Thankfully, she's pretty much okay, physically!  And good on the perpetrator for sticking around and admitting fault!
