And here is the IT'S ALIVE tv spot that used to freak me out.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8xe8p6zECQ

I had forgotten that the movie was only rated PG. That says something about how creepy it managed to be without being gross.

Only a PG? Gosh. Here in the UK it was an 'X' (no one under 16 admitted). In London the publicity included a woman dressed as a nurse, wheeling a pram around the center of town with something supposedly hidden under the blankets and the words "It's Alive" on the sides of the pram.

Good news DR Ginny!

Today is going to be a busy day at work.  They've finally finalized the three candidates for live interviews for the position of the library's executive director and today, the three will be touring the Service Center (where I work) and tonight there will be a public forum.  The best part is that it can be on work time!  Tomorrow, there will be public forums at a couple of the library branches.  The audience won't get to answer ask* questions, like they did last go-around, but prearranged questions will be asked of them.  I don't know when the actual interviews will take place (I think I'd heard Saturday), but this director search been a long time coming.  Hopefully, this time we can get someone we like and who'll be good at the job.



*updated:

George, I think this is your moment to stage a coup!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm staying where I am.

I've been catching up on things with the computer today.  Lots of things have been accomplished.  It has started to rain, which is nice, but it keeps the dogs in the garage, which is not nice. But they have been EXCELLENT today.   I'm very grateful for that.

[ChasSmith]

Just a quick log-in to say:

MANY-SPLENDORED THING is gorgeous!  Incredible music, scoring, and oh yes, that unparalleled Fox stereo.  A true feast.

The Ghosts of Toyland. I love it. The spirit of Ray Bolger comes back to relive one of his least successful performances and has a duet with Marie Antoinette, wandering in from the Ghosts of Versailles, while the ghosts of Follies girls past descend a spectral staircase. Ibsen's there, somewhere, but only as methaphorical set-piece.

Given that I'm surrounded there by John McGlinn's possessions, it might be he. There have been a couple of times when I'm there alone that I'll hear someone cough or speak, or think I've heard someone come in the door or wander in one of the other rooms in the suite.  Toyland has a main room, two offices looking on the Empire State Building, a storage room and a small room where we keep filing cabinets and office supplies and paper.

I am NOT enjoying reading about the SNOWFALL.....I know it is coming for us....sooner or later....

Driving home this afternoon we could see the snow on the mountains & something about chains needed for the pass into California.

As we drove up our road we drove into snow falling.  It has stopped now.

[Jane]

CONGRATULATIONS DR GINNY!!

The campaign which I remember so well was PSYCHO. It was brilliantly original in making use of the director to tell people they won't be admitted after the film has started. It was also revolutionary because at that time it was routine for audiences to wander in and out of theaters without regard to the timing of the film (my family and I did that all the time - "this is where we came in") and it did much to change audience habits.

You are right, Doug.  Now I remember wandering in to the theater at whatever time I wanted, knowing I could just stay and watch the bginning again.  What a weird way to watch movies!

We did that a few times but learned, without hints, to be on time.  We also watched two movies at a time back then.

Thanks so much everyone....I am very much looking forward to the party tonight.....however, we have to do a show first.

Have fun doing the show & at the party.
