I just saw CHINATOWN, great film. "I like my nose. I like breathing out of it."

Saw HOME ON THE RANGE. Good movie. Nothing too special buy great music & songs. Bonnie Raitt. Wow.

On deck - Eternal Sunshine, Ju On (The Grudge)...

We watched The Happiest Millionaire last night (making our way through cheesy Disney live action). Neither one of us had seen it, but Chris had the soundtrack as a kid (still does, I think). Maybe you have to have grown up with these types of musicals, but, what fun it was! It was a looooong (176 minutes) complete with Intermission. The cast included Fred MacMurray, Greer Garson and introducing Leslie Ann Warren and John Davidson!

It's hard for me to look at these films without the sentimentality of my childhood getting in the way and say Oh See It! or DON'T!, but, with that caveat, I'm recommending it. (Coming from the kid who LOVED The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band as a kid - I still have the soundtrack as well). I think we'll be watching that one tonight. "Let's put it over with Grover..........."

LOST

Oh my f*cking God!!!!!

Also, Sawyer's new steamrolled Harry Potter look. YES!

Sayid's sexy forging of the glasses. YES!

Holy crap, what a crazy wonderful show. Fun above all else.

Lost here too. We just had the first Claire episode, which freaked me out a little. the psychic stuff was weird. I really like Emilie de Ravin. And can I just say Sawyer is HOT. I go all gooey whenever he's on screen

Tonight we saw, The One and Only. Genuine. Original. Family Band. continuing our trend of watching Disney musicals from the 60's. It was a blast and the Sherman Brotheres score is always a delight. As can be expected the tale's a bit hokey, entirely wholesome, but fun to see in the context of other 60's films. Another fun tidbit is this is Goldie Hawn's film debut as "Giggly Girl." Apparently the choreographer was also the choreographer for Laugh-in and brought Goldie in for the part - a short fun dance number.

We also saw a bonus feature "making of" which was pretty cool, interviewing Richard Sherman, Leslie Ann Warren, among others. It was a great follow-up to the Happiest Millionaire since many of the same people were involved.

Oh, and trivia bit: Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell met on this film, but Kurt was only 14 at the time and Goldie was older. That was 1967. They became a couple in 1983.

Since I am not feeling well, I've been watching television non-stop.

I currently am watching The Simpsons, Season 5 on DVD for the umpteenth time.

As a nervous-pins-and-needles-praying-practicing-polish-Catholic, I'm on Pope watch 24/7. I wouldn't consider that a "swanky" thing to watch, however.

The One and Only. Genuine. Original. Family Band.

That's a good one, although I can't stand John Davidson. What a freak!
