Ah yes, you're looking at the new show that MB switches in around 7 p.m.  I am saving those pictures for a bedtime treat.

I LOVE the Carolyn/Julia stuff and of course TOTALLY AGREE that it is better than heroin, better even the two sticks of land o'lakes lashed together in a rough-hewn manner.

When Carolyn starts talking about dressing for dinner, that whole scene just takes a detour into some weird zone all its own.  I can't imagine any other performers other than Barrett and Hall pulling that off. 

Solid platinum, just like Miss Carolyn's hair conditioner....

I would be surprised if at the very least Sam had not done a story/treatment for "hoDS 2" figuring from his experience with DC that at some point DC would turn to him and say, "OK, can you get the script to me for the new movie by the end of the week?"--and if he had some ideas, he'd want it covered.  As a sometime writer myself, I know that's what I would have done in his shoes.

So, we inch closer to seeing WB finally giving the green light for the feature film disc release.  The main good thing about having the release tied to the big Depp/Burton project is that it means that the suits will want it as a real release, not something they just casually toss out to online consumers in their "archival" project for which they would be unlikely to have much, if any of a real budget line. 

I'm afraid a lot of the fans here don't understand that even when Burton has delivered the completed movie with its post-production, there could be a SUBSTANTIAL wait before the studio shoehorns it into one of the hot release weekends on their calendar.  As I've mentioned before, I well recall how Firefly fans had to wait six months for the release of the feature film version when the studio decided that the release date that had been announced for months would conflict with some other megabomb release date.

The military industrial entertainment complex of the 21st century is often tiresome terrain to navigate... one of the many reasons why I don't miss television.

Loving today's further selection of scenes from Bangor '66.  The look on Roger's face upon receiving Vicki's phonecall is priceless.

And meanwhile, in 1968 Julia is wearing that fabulous blue dress.  I know some people really do not like the dress, but I think it goes so well with our pale titian-haired beauty.

It's a good day in Collinsport.

Golly, it's Vicki's new Avatar look!  Awesome!

Vicki's trip to Bangor is up on the Robservations slideshow tonight.  Ah, the memories...

That was really amazingly well done.  Many thanks for the link!

I thought it was a nice touch how when the lyrics referred to "Dracula and his son" we panned first to Barn, then to Adam...

Nice shot of Magda hovering over the hand at one point, too.

Adorable!  Wonderful work!

Early birthday wishes to our beloved cousin down South!  A gentleman of true discrimination and worthy enthusiasms!

May your day be filled with wonderful treats!

Nice blurb.  It makes me wonder whether there are fans who insist on addressing Frid as "Barnabas" when they meet him. There are some old radio interviews from those incessant phone-in shows that never seem to die (the popularity of the format escapes me) uploaded onto Youtube of the late, lamented Jonathan Harris.  Harris portrayed the infamous Dr. Zachary Smith on the cult sci-fi series Lost in Space in the Sixties.  In at least three of these old interviews, both the djs/emcees and the fans who phoned in kept addressing Harris as "Dr. Smith."  Harris playfully went along (and in a couple of cases allowed some really distasteful bantering insults to fly by in his own inimitiable style) but I can't imagine Frid being so accommodating.
