That was nice DR ELMORE.

[elmore3003]

It's my opinion that too many of these "erotic" thrillers are nothing but "erratic" thrillers, and stinky to boot.

[Jrand74]

DR JOHN G.....yes....

My brother and I went to the drive in on a Sunday night and saw The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean......the second feature was Harold & Maude.

I went back every night by myself for the next four days to see the double feature.....just to see H/M.

So you know what my favorite Ashby film is...to this day.  The music by Cat Stevens was so good.....and you had to buy a couple of albums to get all of the songs.  And Barbara Parkins in her VOD commentary talked about her love affair with Cat and how his spirituality broke them up.....although she claimed they were still in touch and in synch.....so to speak.

DR MichaelG, I listened carefully to both Lawrence recordings several times. I also worked for the Ira Gershwin estate on several projects, including assisting Michael Tilson Thomas on the Gershwin Centennial Celebration at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, a production of  Strike Up the Band, directed by a jerk Gary Davis in Pasadena, 1988 (I think) and a revival of Oh, Kay! at Goodspeed, either before or after - who remembers now? - that Pasadena production.

Until I was unceremoniously sacked by another jerk and supposed friend in a 1991 power struggle inside Roxbury Recordings, I had been the primary editor of the first recording Girl Crazy. My last project with the Gershwins and Library of Congress, Life Begins at 8:40, was equally disastrous.

Thanks, DR elmore3003. I saw your credit on Girl Crazy but didn't know about your work on Oh, Kay! But it doesn't surprise me in the least that you were involved there, or that your ears are better than mine for this type of thing!

Almost bed time. I just spent almost two HOURS trying to figure out a location. Someone on one of the LA Facebook groups, Lost Angeles, posted a photo making the rounds of all those groups - Hedy Lamarr sitting in a car in a drive-in restaurant. Impossible to tell which. IMPOSSIBLE. The only clew is the building you can see in back of her - Beverly Motor Company, and a Pontiac sign. The only drive-in in Beverly Hills (that's how the photo is identified - 1941 Beverly Hills - was Carpenter's on Wilshire and Le Doux, which became Dolores. But there was no auto dealer next to it.

Many of these groups pop up on my feed but I have never noticed the Lost Angeles one.

[Jane]

Again, nothing came up at all, just the locations I'd already seen, but nothing in Beverly Hills. Then I found a Simon's menu on eBay. And there, on the back, was a list of Simon's Drive-Ins in 1940, including - Wilshire and Linden. BK, the detective, scores again.

I enjoyed following your search

Good morning.

Good morning.

[Jane]

I did not attend church this morning

Good.

[Jane]

The sneezing seems to have stopped but I’m still feeling achey

I hope you feel better super fast.

[Jane]

I did not attend church this morning

Same. Well, it hasn't started yet, but I'm staying home.  I'm fine. But I'm afraid I may be contagious before symptoms hit.

Stay well vibes.

[John G.]

Watching Mauvaise Graine (The Bad Seed), Wilder’s first film. It’s about a spoiled brat who becomes a car thief after his father cuts off his spending. Some great Wilder touches. The couple are already in separate beds when they meet. But you know where they’ll wind up.

Last night I plopped into bed and turned on TCM again because there was something starting at 10:30 that I would have watched at least part way through if I were awake enough. I have no memory now of what that was to be, and indeed I was conked out before it even started. Oddly, I just looked at their online schedule, and my browsers won't bring up anything in the overnight hours. It's as though their schedule page isn't working for that period up to about 6:00 a.m. this morning. Well, it hardly matters.

LOL.  I'm glad you slept instead.

[Jane]

Then I came home and slept. I am still not used to The decongestant’s effects on my body, except for the relief of not sneezing all the time.

From one who sneezes a lot, that seems pretty good to me.  I admit, I wouldn't trade not sneezing for that feeling of being drugged.

[Jane]

Laura, did you see the recipe ideas last night? I’m not overly fond of eggplant, but I really enjoyed making those boats. So much I made them a couple of times when life handed me eggplants.

They were excellent suggestions.  The eggplant boats look fun.  Years ago, when we still liked zucchini, I used to make stuffed zucchini and stuffed eggplants.

Bruce just tell the dentist you don't want Novocain, or whatever they use.  If he wants to use it ask him why you need it.  I never use it for permanent crowns.

[Jrand74]

DR JOHN G I do not know of this film.....interesting.

[Jrand74]

It seems it should be later than it is.....I got up too early.

[Jrand74]

Free for all day.

What is your favorite Carroll Baker performance?

[Jrand74]

I appreciate them all..... but I mostly love -

BABY DOLL
GIANT
HARLOW
THE CARPETBAGGERs
BAD

[Jane]

I want this t-shirt.

[Jane]

I just wish the j in just didn't look like a d.

[John G.]

Today is the fifth anniversary of Dad’s death.

[Freddie]

I just wish the j in just didn't look like a d.

LOL - it does look like a d, doesn't it?

[Freddie]

Today is the fifth anniversary of Dad’s death.

Sending comfort vibes, John.

[Jane]

Today is the fifth anniversary of Dad’s death.

Sending hugs.

I just wish the j in just didn't look like a d.

LOL - it does look like a d, doesn't it?

Keith said the same thing when I showed it to him.  Temptation to buy it is gone.  I say "just one more chapter" all the time when I am reading.

[Jane]

One thing I like about reading on Libby is that it tells me how many pages are left in a chapter.  Kindle sometimes tells me how many minutes are left.  I prefer knowing the page number.
