Watching REVERSAL OF FORTUNE which I have never seen.

Where is DR JMK - has he been dragged off to jail?

I really wanted to shove a mattress in Amber Riley's yowling maw during one number.....but other than that - GLEE rocked.

I began my evening watching HOLLYWOODLAND on HD-DVD. The mystery surround the death of George Reeves is a fascinating saga, and all of the Ben Affleck/Reeves sequences in the movie are interesting and compelling.

All of Adrian Brody's scenes where he's investigating the Reeves death are also interesting. BUT, when we have to sit through an hour of his domestic problems with ex-wife and son, it's TORTURE.

But I bought the disc (on cutout for $3) for the HD and the Reeves story. Unbelievable how a crime like this could be swept under the carpet with a flimsy investigation that had so many unanswered questions and nonsensical conclusions.

I watched all three bonus featurettes on the disc, none all that great, but it was great to see Robin Tunny (who's the lady boss of CBI on THE MENTALIST) playing the party girl slut Leonore Lemmon. I was glad to see that they had Jack Larson interviewed for a couple of those featurettes.

I enjoyed GLEE also. I thought it got off to a pretty slow start, but it was completely wonderful from "Jump" onward. And I was SO happy about the revelation. Emma's advice to Shu was pretty absurd, I thought.

For DR JMK, I got this email from Marc Acito, who grew up in New Jersey:
Your friend is mistaken. I moved here after college. But that's almost 20 years ago, almost as long as I lived on the east coast. So Portland is kind of my hometown.

Marc's response to my telling him I'd worked on FINIAN'S RAINBOW:
I just read John Lahr's New Yorker review. I'd forgotten how magnificent the score is. Would love to see it. You did arrangements? Washed out Cheyenne Jackson's thong?

I was up later last night than I like to be, so I'm heading downstairs now and going to bed.

Good night!

Watched MARKED WOMAN on TCM. Haven't seen it since I was a kid. Tough good movie with a terrific Bette Davis performance. And her five women co performers are also great....especially Lola Lane!

Good movie. It's based on the Lucky Luciano case.

Learn something everyday at HHW!!!

Thanks DR DRUXY. Did you ever deal with agent Jack Pomeroy....or was he before your time?

That name sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't seem to place him.

Now I'm watching a PBS special with the Radio City Rockettes - much better than the NBC infomercial.

So, Cillaliz, how long can he sit in jail? Do you get a trial for contempt of court? Or just sit in jail until the judge decides you can get out?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #220 on:** December 02, 2009, 08:03:08 PM »

I've watched TOP CHEF and I am going to bed. tomorrow morning I have to be at Tams-Witmark to look at the original orchestra parts for FINIAN'S RAINBOW.

Infomercial is right...just about every singer had a brand new CD to plug.

And hi-def is NOT Barry Manilow's friend.

FJL · « **Reply #223 on:** December 02, 2009, 08:54:04 PM »

But I think Mos Def is (Barry Mnailow's friend, that is.)

Good Evening!

After cooking and then eating my dinner, I decided to get out of my apartment for a bit, so I called up my friend, Bradley, invited myself over, and watched "Glee" and "Top Chef" over at his place.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #225 on:** December 02, 2009, 09:06:29 PM »

As for "Glee"....

Whew! I'm glad that that one plot element will not be carried out throughout the rest of the season. -However, I did wonder if there was a "lost episode" or at least a "lost scene" or two - the revelation just seemed to happen too fast - at least in "Glee time".

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #226 on:** December 02, 2009, 09:07:53 PM »

As for tonight's "Top Chef", Finale, Part 1...

The chef who went home basically sabotaged chef-self during the Judge's Table. Ah, well... Should be a great Finale next week!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #227 on:** December 02, 2009, 09:09:21 PM »

DR DAW - I watched some of the earlier, non-network coverage of the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting they were broadcasting on NBC-4... You didn't miss anything. Although, Michael Bublé is still cute.

How does one avoid this smf thing? Is there a particular kind of posting that does it?

It's a totally random internet-thingy. -"Thingy" being the technical term for the technical error.

DR td - If there are any more promotional copies of that "Chess in Concert" CD set on the break table when you get to work tomorrow...

Congratulations on completing your first two shifts as a bookseller!

My new bank/debit/credit card came today, thank the lord! Maybe I can get a couple of things ordered before they go off sale.

Can I send you a list of things to pick up for me?

Would that I could!

I did get my friend Jeff's Christmas gifts ordered

Thanks, Matt!

LOL! But I didn't think you folks celebrated Christmas. Guess I was misinformed.

I'm a half-breed, I get to celebrate both, and as soon as Keith finishes my genealogy backround, maybe Kwanzaa, too!

I think in this case, he is refusing a direct judges order and he could be held until the judge lets him out. I could be wrong. There are some types of contempt where you have a set maximum number of days.

This morning I went to my favorite coffee place and got my usual coffee to go. I got in my car and as I tried to take a sip through the plastic lid if flew off and coffee went EVERYWHERE! I did burn my hand, but not bad, my blackberry didn't get so lucky. Coffee went into the phone and basically fried the keyboard. The good news was I was able to sync it to my computer and save all the data...the sort of bad news is I had to get a new phone. I had insurance, but....well....I decided it was time to upgrade and got a Blackberry Storm 2.

I love it!! We also discovered that I had a bundle I was paying for that included $30 to use my phone as a modem. Noce that almost 2 years later I find this out. I didn't even know how to do it! So we cut $30 off my monthly bill and the new phone (Which also had a nice rebate) will be paid for in savings in just a few months. cool Beans.

A second duo of police dropped by earlier this evening. We're assuming this means they don't have any suspects or, alternatively, we are the suspects.

Time for me to go to sleep. I have had a long day, it started with the coffee and sort of went down hill from there. The new phone made it all worth while. I'm really having fun with it. It's got a touch screen but it clicks when you touch it. Kind of cool

Finished my viewing for the evening - a very interesting and wonderfully done Australian film in stop motion animation called Mary and Max. There are times when you'd swear the writer had either read the Kritzer books or had visited this website - very similar wordplay at times. But a totally unique film that probably won't find much of an audience.
