Well, you've read the notes, the notes had both string quartets and Scorsese, and now it is time for you to post until the stringy cows come home.

That was a great review of "the little upstart movie."

So, the Wordle Word that was mentioned in the Twitter trendings that I'd read last night really was today's word. But I got distracted and genuinely couldn't remember the word by the time I went to do it until after my third guess. Then, my fourth guess could only be one of two words, and I "guessed" the way I usually do, so that really does represent a genuine attempt.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Today is going to be a day. I'm going to the No Kings Protest in Olympia, then I might go to a TAO Board meeting (depending on the ending time of the protest), then tonight's J&H performance.

But first, to bed. Have a good day, all!

Yes, lovely to read that New York Post review by Judith Crist!

Since "The Act" is mentioned in the notes -

Liza Minnelli, "City Lights" from "The Act," Tony Awards show

The caption says it was the 1975 Tony Awards, but it was 1978.

I am still seething over the Fat Orange Felon's pardoning of that scumbag "just a rogue, my ass" George Santos. The Fat Orange Slug is the patron saint of Rethuglican criminals. If Jeffrey Dahmer had sent Tramp a fawning "how do I love you let me count the ways" letter, he'd be a free man now.

To one and all participatng in today's "No Kings" protest, please be careful. The Rethuglicans are lying their fat heads off to incite violence or reaction from their idiot followers.

Since my standing and protesting days are past events, I'm not sure how I will be spending the day. I do have much tidying up to accomplish.

Last night I watched the first two episodes of season 2 of The Marlow Murder Club, which seems to be two different murder mysteries. The first two episodes are based on Robert Thorogood's second Marlow book, Death Comes to Marlow. Episode 3, which I began and will finish today, is another murder case.

While I loved the first series, this second ne isn't as much fun; the ladies are still wonderful, but the charm is off.

It's a Saturday (right?), but a hugely busy one with things that must get done.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #19 on:** October 18, 2025, 06:39:35 AM »

I don't think I ever had any of those Hollywood String Quartet recordings. Not a one!

Will have to ketchup on hearing some of those.

Must run, for now. Later!!

I sorta felt the same. Some of the charm of the first season evaporated. But I watched the whole season.

TOD:

Francie and Johnny are not likable people in New York, New York, but the music they make is what I love about the movie.

The King of Comedy
Taxi Driver
The Departed
After Hours

There are quite a few Scorsese movies I actively dislike:
The Wolf of Wall Street
Gangs of New York
The Age of Innocence (only Joanne Woodward’s narration understands that it’s all a comedy, the bleakest of comedies, but I laughed on every page of the book)
The Aviator

Nice day.

Thunderstorms are predicted for this afternoon.

All of the Repooplicans are calling today's protests the I Hate America rallies.

It is sickening to hear them all saying the same thing trying to get their base riled up - which they are doing.

A short film on Facebook yesterday had a couple wearing the usual hat and telling them man making the video: "Our kids stopped speaking to us and we don't care - and you really think anything you say is going to change our minds about Trump?"

I admire more than like Raging Bull. I’m fairly neutral about GoodFellas, The Irishman, Cape Fear and Mean Streets. Don’t remember much about The Silence. I want to see the latest because I read the book.

Hateful but not unexpected news about Santos.

DR RODZINSKI is your latest 45 rpm find on the Disneyland label or the Vista label?
