Dear Gawd!  *FAINTS*

Thank you, Misterissimo Darling!! I am off to Seattle tomorrow for a few days so won't be around till Tues. to ooh and ahh over any other postings....

A friend who has been watching this faithfully reported last week that the episode began with a scene of JLM with his shirt off and she said that the sight was a fine ravishment for the eyes (I am paraphrasing).

I realize that nobody here watches television to gratify their lustful urges for male pulchritude--apart from myself, of course--so I am simply reporting this as a "by the way" bit of factoidiana.

Another of my favorite Thayer David shots from NoDS today (and one of his juiciest lines, too). 

Thanks so much for all of these, MB.  Although there has been no announcement, I presume that the hoDS/NoDS series will be retired, now that the Blu Ray releases are about to hit the streets.  I presume you'll be replacing this series with a Depp Shadows series next year, although that's just my educated guess.  You know how wildly imaginative I can be.

cheers, Gothique

I have heard that the event will be occurring at various theatres all over the US.

I don't think they were using 35 mm film in the early 1930s, but I'm no expert.  I wouldn't be surprised if these will be projected from a digital source (aren't most theatres using a form of DVD now? I just read an article on the death of the film projector and it made me cry).  Universal just "restored" the films using computer technology and the "restoration" has been controversial since in some cases it seems that some images were actually altered from how the director intended them to appear.  The "restored" versions have been released on "Blu Ray." No idea if DVD releases will follow or accompany.  It's been a frantic autumn here so I see headlines and vague snatches of discussions but haven't had time to sit down and get the story clear in my mind.

DarkLady darling, that link is fabulous!  but readers need to be warned to put on their sunglasses before clicking!  lol!

I'll never forget this moment circa 1969 when I went over to a friend's house and his Mom drove up in her new sportscar (the family, by the standards of our neighborhood, were very wealthy).  The color had been described as "sub-lime" (*rolls eyes*) and was a kind of acid neon chartreuse.  It was like the apotheosis of Sixties lime green.  I wish I could report that she emerged from the vehicle wearing a sleeveless limegreen summer-dress but alas memory fails at that moment.

I am just now noticing at the bottom of the "page" (I really don't know what else to call it). there are four links that read, respectively, "Home," "Button One," "Button Two," "Button Three."

I'm sure the significance of these was explained somewhere, but I missed it.

Do I dare to click any of them?  What if one activates the dreaded "Forty Ninth Hexagram" application and I suddenly find myself in 1795 having tea with Reverend Trask?

just ... plain ... SCARED,

G.

Hey dom, I'm pretty sure the DVD has the episode in color, unless I'm hallucinating (I guess it's been a few weeks, and they've been rough weeks--I lost my beloved kitty last Thurs.).  It might have been a case where the color print was recovered after the work on the VHS release.  I remember Grayson looked really fabulous in it.

That's a cool idea that it was Josette's ghost intervening, but the tiresome flute cue leaves little doubt that the writers, at least, intended us to agree with Barn that it was Sarah.

Glad my little witticisms help keep you smiling, Onyx.

Happy Birthday!
