LOCAL HEROFinally had time for a "Rip That Wrap" night; we opened up Local Hero and Gayle made fajitas with produce from the farm (I love squash). Burt Lancaster and Peter Riegert are wonderful, the scenery is amazing and the movie is a strange walk along a shore you don't want ... read morePosted on 09/01/2008 by lonelypond IN THE BLEAK DECEMBERHave been struggling with the last remnants of chaos from the computer changeover. Had an insomniac fit where instead of sending crazy e-mails, I posted IN THE BLEAK DECEMBER on scribd. But thanks to computer changeover coding crud puppies and my 3 am efforts to get rid of them, chunks ... read morePosted on 08/28/2008 by lonelypond WEEKENDFriday night, ripped that wrap off of "Alvin and the Chipmunks"and an Amy's frozen pizza -- whole wheat pesto. "Alvin and the Chipmunks" still fun -- excellent voice talent and I've always liked Jason Lee, although I do not watch "My Name is Earl". Then Saturday: "Forbidden Kingdom" -- was ... read morePosted on 04/22/2008 by lonelypond HEAVEN AND EARTHCaught this film on one of the many digital cable channels we can scroll through for another week or so without adding to our cable bill.

Interesting to watch the "how we did it" coverage -- took three countries (Britain, Norway, Poland) and bunches of people -- and ... read morePosted on 03/27/2008 by lonelypond MY FAIR LADYJust caught part of "My Fair Lady" on TCM and it's amazing what big sets, big costumes and big music will do for you, which is I guess the opposite of my experience as a filmmaker and theatrical free agent, which is much more about the process and less about ... read morePosted on 03/06/2008 by lonelypond COMEDYIf James Marsden had been a young actress in a Woody Allen comedy instead of the goofy guy in Enchanted, he would probably have received an Oscar nomination...comedy is far too underrated.
