Me too! Go Louis! I love it when so called "older folks" break the barriers and show they still have it no matter the age! Looks like they had good fun-more power to 'em! [cheer] [cheer]

Amen to that! [confused_ani] [clap]
I'm so happy to see people saying this. Changing subjects slightly, I've been reading various online reactions to Tell Me You Love Me. David Selby and Jane Alexander had a bedroom scene in the most recent episode, and some of the negative responses to people over 60 having sex on television have just baffled me.  ::)

Selby just signed on to do a guest appearance on Cold Case, so you'll have another opportunity to see him in something a bit more conventional before the television season is out.  ;)

One of my students asked me if RD was someone who was famous or influential at the time. [stfl]

I maintained my composure and resisted the urge to say, "Perhaps in his own mind."

That would be on the DS Special Edition DVD in the Commercials section of the Additional Material. You have to play the two DS film commercials first before the list including RD's commercial comes up.Though frankly they should have buried it even deeper - like maybe as an Easter Egg.  [wink2]
ROTFL. Thank you! You've just saved me a ton of time.  I was going to have to go into therapy if I devoted much time and energy to RD. ;)

Calendar Events / Announcements '07 II / Looking for Roger Davis Brut Ad
« on: September 19, 2007, 04:11:51 AM »
I'm hoping some of you who have better memories of what material is on what DS DVDs and videotapes could help me out. I'm trying to track down the Roger Davis Brut ad to use in a class -- not because it has anything to do with Roger Davis or DS but because it demonstrates something in one of our course readings about anxieties concerning "beauty" products for men.

Can anyone off the top of his/her head tell me where I can find the commercial so I don't have to root through my DS stash this evening?

Thanks!

I, for one, would NOT want  the proposed DS movie and Pirates 4 playing at the same time at the theaters.
Usually, the studios will work it out so that films that star the same actor don't compete with each other in the theaters. It's not beneficial to the actor or to the studios.

I'm so disappointed. I saw the subject line and thought this was going to be a tribute to the wondrous qualities of Bartles & Jaymes.  [8285]

Thanks for your support.  ;D

Now that the first episode has aired, HBO has fleshed out their web site a bit more. They're doing a text/video feedback section ("Tell Us About Tell Me You Love Me") where couples can discuss their responses to the show, and they've got five couples that they're "following" as they watch the series. They were asked which couple on the series they related most to, and one couple has selected May and Arthur (Jane Alexander and David Selby).

Calendar Events / Announcements '07 II / Some upcoming David Selby projects
« on: September 09, 2007, 07:02:56 PM »
In addition to coverage of the premiere of Tell Me You Love Me on HBO tonight, the official David Selby site has two new items this week.
  • David's play Final Assault will be performed at the Players Guild Theatre in Canton, Ohio in October.
  • David will appear with Amanda Plummer in the LA Theatre Works radio theatre production of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke next June. Plummer has recently appeared in revival productions of the play. David has noted in several interviews that he did a scene from Summer and Smoke when he auditioned for DS. Williams later reworked the play as Eccentricities of a Nightingale, and David appeared in the Broadway production which was staged at the Morosco Theatre (one of several theatres that were demolished to make room for the Marriott Marquis).

Isn't it unusual that reviews of an entire series are appearing in print before most of the public has had a chance to see a single episode?  I don't recall seeing anything like this before (all 10 eps were screened for the press, which the last 2 reviewers have made abundantly clear).
From what I gather, it's not unusual for HBO, but then their seasons are much shorter than the regular networks, so the situation is a bit different. Some television critics were given access to the complete ten-episode package on DVD. What was shown at the TV Critics Association meeting, from what I understand, was a highlight reel. Most, but not all, of the advance "reviews" are based on an actual screening of the full series.

Some of them, I am sad to say, are little more than thinly veiled reworkings of HBO's press release for the series with a few personal expressions of shock and disbelief tossed in. Many of the reviews would make fabulous material for a composition or critical reading instructor trying to demonstrate the concept of unstated assumptions. Some of the reviews reveal much more about the reviewer's attitudes toward issues like age, sex, and gender than they do about the series.
