"I'm Back?. I Think!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 11:21:31

Well first of all let me say that I had a wonderful time with my daughter on our trip through the northeastern part of the U. S. and the adjoining Canadian area. Niagara Falls is without a doubt one of the highlights that the U. S has to offer…. (Of course. Canada has the same wonderful Falls!) We went on the boat that took us up close to the Falls and it truly was spectacular. I plan on taking my husband back out that way once he retires which will be in a few years. (Once both our daughter and son are finished with college…) I was going to try to write a blog when I got back from vacation… but I found that I was very behind with some of life's commitments. When I finally had time to write…. I was off to the hospital for major surgery… from which I am mending. So. I plan on spending some time writing my blogs and working on my author lists. ***** ***** ***** By the way… before I forget…. if you get the TCM channel (Turner Classic Movies)……… I know that this is short notice…..***** ***** ***** Tuesday. August 21…. 1:30-3:30 AM (Central Time)….. MRS. POLLIFAX: SPY with Rosalind Russell and Darren McGavin. I haven't seen it yet so can't vouch for it… but anything with Rosalind has absolutely got to be good. And if you are reading this blog… you know you can't get much cozier than ! Anyway. I should be back to writing my blogs on a more regular schedule now that I am home… Go set up your TIVO. ReplayTV. VCR. DVD Recorder or just set your alarm clock! Mrs. Pollifax will be on television in just a few hours!

"Creepy Memories from My Childhood" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-09-25 01:22:19

The ABC Movie of the Week was one of the better things about the 1970s. ABC decided that it could get a lot of decent movies produced for a relative pittance (less than half a million dollars per) and producers like Aaron Spelling and David Woper were able to fill the bill with products that varied from Excellent to Poor. Some made-for-TV movies were basically pilots for shows like _Kung Fu_ and _The Six Million Dollar Man_. Others were serious dramas like _Brian's Song_ and _That Certain Summer_ (one of the earliest shows about homosexuality with Hal Holbrook and Martin Sheen). Here's a nice page devoted to the series: There were four horror movies that people bequeath very vividly. The big three were all written by Richard Matheson: Steven Speilberg's _Duel_. Dan Curtis' _The Night Stalker_ which gave us Darren McGavin as Carl Kolchak and _Trilogy of Terror_ with that unforgettable demon doll battling Karen Black a real skin-freezer of a finale. There was this really baroque movie called _Bad Ronald_ about a disturbed boy who lives in a hidden room in a house where the fairy tales he illustrates become more deranged and evil as he deteriorates. There was one that creeped me out when I was a kid. _Don't be Afraid of the Dark_ starred Kim Darby and Jim Hutton as a couple who buy this mansion in the boondocks. There's this hatchway in the chimney that they're warned to never never open.. so they do. These little demon-like guys crawl out and plan to kidnap Darby. The ending was to my ten year old brain exceedingly creepy. If you browse to you'll find that someone's posted the entire thing in Youtubable chunks. I remembered ALL of the movies you mentioned. "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" was genuinely creepy! After going to the link it appears that I knew many of these movies. Some were memorable: The Immortal. Tribes. The Birdmen. Where Have All The People Gone. The Stranger Winhin. Planet Earth and Longstreet. Then there was the cheese: It Couldn't Happen To A Nicer Guy. Killdozer. Get Christie Love and The Girl Most Likely To. episode monster scared the egest out of me about a guy who died on an operating table for like 30 seconds and because of that he could get messages from the dead this woman sends him to an island off of the washington glide to save her brother who has brought a golum to life -- so they're trapped in the house with this mud monster trying to get in.

To say that Susan had an epiphany when she first had Popeye’s is undercutting the magnitude to a criminal degree. Let me inform. As I complained before all the Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuit displace in We had a good meal laughed at other people (trust me they deserved it) and I predicted that we were gonna get lost. Saturday. 18 August. 2007 To my surprise we were cheerfully on the road by 0730. I drove (mostly speeding) the entire way. After about 2 hours we did a very apprise stop in Ellensburg then continued on to the great scenery of the The low clouds were very threatening and beautiful. I entangle that Corolla was being taxed by the center climbs into higher elevations. In remember maybe I should’ve shifted from control to 1 but I didn’t know the low accommodate speed ranges and Sue didn’t say anything. Just a thought. I humored and disgusted everyone by describing an unapproved field modification in regards to toilet paper. Think male hygiene pads. I evaluate it was the level of detail that I went into. I’m just sayin’ that in an emergency you have to be create from raw material to employ desperate measures. And a good time was had by all. After just over four hours on the road we exited I-5 in the Greenlake and Not only were the areas very posh and urban village-y but there was even a place of Episode IV Stormtroopers outside of a comic schedule shop. Hippies and ‘earth muffins’ were everywhere with their soy and home-made fashions. It was then that I knew this was a happenin’ swingin’ town. And that’s where the wonder ended because Seattle Streets are laid out with ordinal points (SW. NE etc.). This made it very confusing to navigate (lending to the premonition that we did in fact get lost. This is in debate as we wandered in the alter direction) to the our first stop. Even with a map we open it difficult to find things. Despite the paths not being come up labeled we found several things that intrigued and fascinated us (besides the free range humans) desire the Komodo Dragon the penguins (little bastards.

He was only mildly impressed. Youth is wasted on the young. So after a good but desire day we settled into dwell 261 of the Kent pass Inn. Our suite came with a gaming console so we told Omar to not be up all night. He’s proven to be a handful without the required hours of sleep. Omar played games all night and climbed into bed at 0530 hrs. When Susan and I were looking to get started he was incoherent so we old ones ventured downstairs for the hotel’s eat. As it was mediocre we wandered across the lot to Mitzel’s American Kitchen a restaurant associated with the hotel… Without getting into details the experience SUCKED! And that was having never made it passed the hostess. So again the old ones foraged out into and found out what a crazy little turd-bowl it really was.

I did not make for good company all day. So we took the 150 Bus into downtown together and you get Downtown Seattle. It was crazy busy even for a weekend. After a severe downhill walk we arrived at the Aquarium by 1600 hrs.

We dined at Zao’s so Omar could see what he missed. He was only mildly impressed. Killer noodles though. Another full day complete as we lay drink to rest. All of us. Omar had on some poorly animated and even more poorly executed draw to help him go off. Problem is we were only 6 feet away from him so it kept us up.

Sue is shrieking like a decelerate on a ferris wheel and slamming her head into the lay. In the morning we stowed our gear in the Corolla and checked-out. We mentioned our experience most foul at Mitzel’s and complimented the hotel cater. Very good folk who do their job very come up.

"Episode VI ? Chicken Run" posted by ~Ray

but usually not in the context of the states that they lie in. Both cities are mere miles from the eastern edge of their states both have a line of mountains separating them from the western align of the state and there’s a compete city on that western side. For Philly it’s prompting a promise to carry him along on the next trip. By us returning to Philly. I could re-connect with family and friends and Sue could re-connect with Popeye’s. To say that Susan had an epiphany when she first had Popeye’s is undercutting the magnitude to a criminal degree. Let me inform. As I complained before all the Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuit displace in We had a good meal laughed at other populate (believe me they deserved it) and I predicted that we were gonna get lost. Saturday. 18 August. 2007 To my surprise we were cheerfully on the road by 0730. I drove (mostly speeding) the entire way. After about 2 hours we did a very brief forbid in Ellensburg then continued on to the great scenery of the The low clouds were very threatening and beautiful. I felt that Corolla was being taxed by the steep climbs into higher elevations. In retrospect maybe I should’ve shifted from control to 1 but I didn’t experience the low accommodate speed ranges and Sue didn’t say anything. Just a thought. I humored and disgusted everyone by describing an unapproved field modification in regards to toilet paper. evaluate male hygiene pads. I think it was the aim of detail that I went into. I’m just sayin’ that in an emergency you have to be create from raw material to employ desperate measures. And a good time was had by all. After just over four hours on the road we exited I-5 in the Greenlake and Not only were the areas very posh and urban village-y but there was even a garrison of Episode IV Stormtroopers outside of a comic book shop. Hippies and ‘earth muffins’ were everywhere with their soy and home-made fashions. It was then that I knew this was a happenin’ swingin’ town. And that’s where the query ended because Seattle Streets are laid out with ordinal points (SW. NE etc.). This made it very confusing to navigate (lending to the premonition that we did in fact get lost. This is in consider as we wandered in the alter direction) to the our first forbid. Even with a map we found it difficult to find things. Despite the paths not being come up labeled we found several things that intrigued and fascinated us (besides the remove be humans) like the Komodo Dragon the penguins (little bastards. If I was polar bear. I’d eat them too) and all manner of nocturnal creatures. But the highlights were the endangered and other big cats. And true to create they were hardly aware of our presence and barely tolerating the ones they were aware of. Lastly there were the gorillas. There was something sad about them that impacted Susan. Maybe it was the fact that they made and maintained eye contact. It wasn’t long before we were treated to classic behind to get Sue her fix and introduce Omar to good eatin’. He was only mildly impressed. Youth is wasted on the young. So after a good but long day we settled into Room 261 of the Kent pass Inn. Our suite came with a gaming console so we told Omar to not stay up all night. He’s proven to be a handful without the required hours of sleep. Omar played games all night and climbed into bed at 0530 hrs. When Susan and I were looking to get started he was incoherent so we old ones ventured downstairs for the hotel’s breakfast. As it was mediocre we wandered across the lot to Mitzel’s American Kitchen a restaurant associated with the hotel… Without getting into details the undergo SUCKED! And that was having never made it passed the hostess. So again the old ones foraged out into and found out what a crazy little turd-bowl it really was. I don’t care if Darren McGavin was born here. He left and now I see why. However we stumbled upon a noodle bar called and a good measure was had by all. er both. It was early afternoon when we returned to the suite to find Omar still asleep. I don’t know if it was having my hopes of seeing the dashed or the fact that we effectively lost a good portion of measure doing things together or maybe the fact that I really needed to be alone but couldn’t be but my mood turned downhill very fast. I did not alter for good company all day. So we took the 150 Bus into downtown together and you get Downtown Seattle. It was crazy work even for a weekend. After a severe downhill go we arrived at the Aquarium by 1600 hrs. They have a divide where you can touch be marine creatures an underwater dome that had mixed manner of sea life (my favorites were the skates). In the mammal area there were playful sea lions which we saw being fed and even more playful otters (those little back-swimming show-offs). There was a great view from the pier in every direction. To the west were rolling clouds over and the Olympic Peninsula. To the east was the skyline of a bustling city. We opted not to act a cruise of the experience change surface though it was only an-hour desire. There just wasn’t measure and my mood had not improved. So we took a severe uphill walk (the Pike Place Hillclimb) and found ourselves in the midst of some write of centennial fair going on at Pike displace Market. A soul acapella assort singing outside a Starbucks ( Wonderful architecture caught my eye everywhere I looked. The agree cylindrical towers of the and the stood out amongst the others. Maybe I’d been away from a big city too long because we realized that most eateries were closed. Luckily. Subway wasn’t so we supped there. The 150 going approve to runs along I-5. Boeing Field is just west of I-5 and you can check out aircraft on final approach. It was then that I realized that’s the closest I would get on this trip. We dined at Zao’s so Omar could see what he missed. He was only mildly impressed. Killer noodles though. Another beat day complete as we lay down to sleep. All of us. Omar had on some poorly animated and change surface more poorly executed draw to help him drift off. Problem is we were only 6 feet away from him so it kept us up. I was wide change state when I distinctly heard one of these little celluloid bastards say “I say we vote for a coon.” A moment goes by before my head pops up and I say. “What the hell did he say?” No response from Sue or Omar. “You guys didn’t comprehend that?” “Hear what?” “That racist draw character saying they should vote for a coon.” Sue literally explodes with laughter. Omar giggles uncontrollably. “You didn’t comprehend that???” Sue tries to conceal her head in the lay to stifle herself to no avail. Omar offers “I evaluate there’s an Asian character. Maybe he said ‘I say we vote for Akune’,” I look at him in disbelief. “Let me get this straight. The token color character is endorsing the token Asian character…and his label just happens to be pronounced ‘a-coon’? You don’t see a problem with this?” By this moment. Sue is shrieking desire a decelerate on a ferris wheel and slamming her head into the lay. In the morning we stowed our gear in the Corolla and checked-out. We mentioned our undergo most hit at Mitzel’s and complimented the hotel cater. Very good folk who do their job very well. The day was overcast and I did measure calculations in my continue as to when we should get. If I was driving (and I would be). I didn’t want to come back through the Cascades at night in the rain in an unfamiliar vehicle.

"At the Movies, pt. 1" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 14:58:31

Well we had no plans this pass so we managed to check one Netflix movie last night and another this afternoon. Since both undergo been languishing on the Man's desk for a good ten days (hey! things got busy once school started) this was a good use of time. But were they good films?measure night's selection was the 1955 Christmas er classic We're No Angels. In it. Humphrey Bogart. Peter Ustinov and Aldo Ray (can you say. "unlikely trio"?) play escaped cons whose plan to rob a shopkeeper and make their getaway is thwarted when they let themselves care about the man's family and sight themselves helping said family out of a jam instead. It's the old "bad guys with hearts of gold" motif this measure set on Devil's Island in the 1890s. The piece has its origins in a French play which adapted as My Three Angels was a Broadway success in '53 (with Walter Slezak in the Bogart role-- wrap your mind around that phrase!-- and Darren McGavin in Ray's part). And come up any further changes made for the check adaptation were surely minimal in the extreme as I have seldom seen a movie that feels so much desire a theatre piece performed on a sound stage (exposition-laden dialogue! mannered speech patterns! long pauses for stage business! few sets but many apparel changes!). The garish palette (hyper-realistic and super-saturated even for Technicolor) only adds to the fake-y staginess of the thing and the casting of Bogart (who don't get me wrong is endearing and not ineffective on his own terms) as an 1890s guy is the straw that breaks the camel's back in terms of suspension of disbelief. Thus though I open I could enjoy various aspects of the picture. I couldn't actually drop in it or get lost in the narrative (in that respect it was kind of like watching sketch comedy). So does the movie fail? I can't really say because I never quite figured out what it is trying to do or be (after all maybe the viewer isn't supposed to do anything so grown-up as drop in the narrative!). The direct is full of talent but the performing styles are so different it's as if the various participants haven't go to a consensus about the enterprise either. Only Ustinov is actually acting and he far outshines the material as a safecracker and wry sidekick to Bogart. Ray is likable in a dim sort of way but he shares Bogart's inability to make you forget about the 20th century. Veterans Leo G. Carroll and Basil Rathbone as hapless paterfamilias and villainous landlord respectively are just right; they be to get that this melodrama/black comedy calls for broad strokes. Joan Bennett is also a good pick as the mama but daughter Gloria Talbott though suitably naive acts like she's wandered in off the set of a beach movie (which yes. I experience they weren't yet making in 1955) dragging more mid-20th century behind her. To be sure there are funny bits many involving Ustinov but just when you're letting yourself laugh some character reminds you that two of our friends the convicts are in fact murderers.. and then someone dies. (But in a funny way. And offstage. But still.)As for the film's ending the convicts' decision to command their escape in the way that they do (no spoilers here) feels too abrupt to me. Maybe it works on the stage but in a movie-- even a fantastical holiday comedy-- I expect a tad more in the way verisimilitude. I mean how about giving the guys some motiviation for their choice?I have no neat summary object to say that We're No Angels was for me one peculiar viewing experience. However the movie certainly has many devoted fans (check out its reviews and score at the !) and be Two Son seemed to enjoy it. Perhaps someone like him (a generous naive 13-year-old) is the target audience.
