How are you feeling today TCB?

Is your flu going away?

Do you need anything?

Tissues?

Chicken soup?

Work out DVDs?

Yes, I am feeling better. Thank you. Chicken soup sounds good, but if it is too much trouble, a workout DVD will do.

Had an e-mail from former dear reader and current writer Panni to tell me that the script for the Hallmark show was much changed (she feels for the better) than the original version for Lifetime, and that in this particular case that it really is mostly based on a true story (and she agrees with me that most of these TV movies/movies that use the line Based On A True Story are usually not).

Oh, my - Rob and Mary Linda just arrived from Michigan with a 28 (count 'em, 28) pound turkey that's now occupying our freezer. Apparently, it was walking around her parents' farm as recently as 2 weeks ago.

I think I may have confused the Geroge Maharis discussion by including the phrase about being caught in a gas station rest room, which I rmember happened in the 70s. It was basically just conversation about Mr. Maharis having sex with another man, that I remember being discussed when I was in junior high school (which I wish had been in the 70s).

...While I'm still wiping away the tears...

"Slumdog Millionaire" has to be one of the most haunting and beautiful movies I have ever seen. And I truly do mean that.

-Now to walk it off for a bit before I get on the subway...

Laters...

At around one I had eggs and toast. I just had some cucumbers and tomato and cucumber roll, and I also had a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich and a bag of fruit things.

I've been watching Route 66. I'm trying to figure out exactly when Mr. Maharis disappeared from the show. I'd skipped to the final disc to watch the LA episodes - he does not appear in any of them. In the first two they explain his absence in a one-sided phone call with Milner - some kind of mysterious virus. They drop that pretense in the final two episodes and just don't mention him, although he has full billing in his usual position.

He got hepatitis and was gone from November 1962 though he did make intermittent appearances until March 1963 when Glenn Corbett was introduced.

Sorry I could be no help about CATCHER IN THE RYE. I read the book over 40 years ago and have no memory of it. Though many of my contemporaries were changed forever by it, it left me cold and I've rarely thought of it again after all these years.

Matt H. · « **Reply #196 on:** November 16, 2008, 08:15:39 PM »

I watched about five more episodes of STAR TREK. I have 8 more episodes to go.

The most famous of the ones I watched tonight was the one about racial prejudice that co-starred Frank Gorshin and Lou Antonio as black-white men who were sworn enemies of each other.

Looks like either Shatner was exerting his control or the writers just thought they needed to involve Kirk with lots of ladies, but every other show, Kirk is making out with some gorgeous babe. He also (a la Robert Conrad) doffs his shirt quite often this last season.

Matt H. · « **Reply #198 on:** November 16, 2008, 08:18:02 PM »

With that many episodes left AND a disc of bonus features, I definitely won't finish the show until Tuesday.

Matt H. · « **Reply #199 on:** November 16, 2008, 08:19:48 PM »

TRUE BLOOD just superb tonight.

Poor Jason: the quintessential dumb blond.

Sam looking sexier than ever tonight.

Not smart of Sookie to chase off both men who want to protect her.

Matt H. · « **Reply #200 on:** November 16, 2008, 08:20:45 PM »

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Very entertaining episode tonight. Susan's storyline still irritated me a lot, but all the others were really interesting and involving.

Matt H. · « **Reply #201 on:** November 16, 2008, 08:21:45 PM »

I saw the first 25 minutes of BROTHERS & SISTERS. Dave Foley as a match for Uncle Sol? Bring back Michael Nouri for goodness sakes!

Good Evening!

It's been a long day, but it's been a very, very good one. One of those days where everything just seemed to align.

Well, if you had the read the posts from last night, you would know.

Otherwise, it really is a wonderful movie. It's the first movie that actually made my heart race with anticipation and excitement. -And it's the first movie in a long where the whole theatre just got sucked into the world the director - Danny Boyle - created. We all cheered at the end. Twice!

Then deep-fry it?

"Based on a true story" is one of the most overused lines in TV movie history - who knows how true the story was/is?

This is not exactly new - Anna wrote this for Lifetime years ago (maybe five?) - it sat there like so much fish, then went elsewhere, and ended up at Hallmark this year.

I don't understand how when the screenplay was written, makes the film any less moving or effective? I truly enjoyed it.

Exacty! -There are too many people dropping too many projects just because things don't happen "immediately". The nature of the biz nowadays is "time". Take it. Use it.

bk - I'm glad the phone call turned out to be not what you thought it was going to be. -I think I got that right.

DR MBarnum - See "Slumdog Millionaire". And get the soundtrack too. It's a great mix of the current Indian music scene.
