From John:

I can’t get the plumbago photo reduced small enough

Darn.

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...)

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.

I found my The History Boys DVD so I will watch that this afternoon.

HOWEVER I just saw that the Ohio State Sex Abuse documentary is finally being shown on HBO in a few minutes, so first I will watch that.

I wish I had HBO; I really want to see anything that shows up Jim Jordan for being the colluding piece of shit he is.

Congrats to DR JANE on her millstone.

The skies were threatening, the thunder rumbled  but we didn't get the big winds they suffered went of us.

We received a spattering of rain

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.

Yum.  Is it the same style as the New Haven pizzas?

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 just whacked some weeds and mowed some grass other weeds in 83-degree heat.

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.

[ChasSmith]

Okay, I might have to walk back those ambitious plans a bit. Probably get some done tomorrow morning, but that'll be it.

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.

The best pizza outside of Italy.
