"Dogs" poem by Aaron Kramer

Looking foolish next to the tree in a one o'clock rain:
umbrella aloft, the leash in my other hand—
I wanted my late-coming neighbor to understand
that dogs are worth the expense, inconvenience, and pain;
their tails are truthful, no coiled rebellion beneath
a loving look; they are quick to kiss you, and quick
to fetch for you, and —should you raise a stick
threateningly—they are quick to show their teeth;
and better still (but this I never revealed),
when you bring downfall home, the death of a hope,
their nonchalant manner does more for you than a drink;
and best of all, when triumph's to be unsealed,
such lack of respect they show for the envelope,
—your fingers halt, the brain cools, and you think.
I think this is a pretty poem.

Sabotage (1936)

Today I watched Sabotage, part of the collection of early Hitchcock that I have. This is a first rate thriller. The husband of our heroine, Sylvia Sidney, the owner of a cinama, is involved in the title crime, and it leads to tragedy upon tragedy for her and an ironic ending. My only quibble is it ends a little abruptly, I would have liked a coda seeing what happens to her and... you'll have to watch to find out

(500) Days of Summer (2009)

I've revisited (500) Days of Summer (2009) for the first time since I saw it in the theater. This is a unique, offbeat look at a relationship over (guess what) 500 days. The thing is, the days are shown randomly out of order. The stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel are very likable and you come to care about both, neither one is painted as all hero-or-villian. There's an impromptu dance in the street that's wonderful. The movie has lots to say about fate and such. The last line and shot is great irony. An intelligent, fun way to spend a little over 90 minutes.

Love Me or Leave Me (1955)

I checked out Love Me or Leave Me, with Doris Day and Jimmy Cagney, on the recommendation of Metropolis. I enjoyed it, I'm usually not a fan of hers, but this film has more substance than a lot of hers. It's a biopic of 20's singer Ruth Etting, and her stormy relationship with Marty "the Gimp". The music is good and Doris and Cagney play well off each other. On the DVD, there is also a couple of shorts starring Ms Etting which are enjoyable.

Stolen : Through the Ages LOL

You are in the middle of some kind of project around the house...You are hot, sweaty, and covered in dirt. You have your old work clothes on: shorts with a hole in the crotch, old T-shirt w/stains from who knows what. You realize you need to run to Home Depot to get something to complete the jobby...

In your 20's:
Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss, and put on clean clothes. Check yourself in the mirror and flex like a psycho on roids. You add a dab of your favorite cologne because you never know, you just might meet some psycho hot chick while standing in the checkout lane.

In your 30's:
Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt. You married the psycho hot chick, so no need for much else. Wash your hands and comb your hair. Chickity-check yourself in the mirror...still got it! Add a shot of your favorite cologne to cover the smell. The cute girl running the register is the kid sister to someone you went to school with. She's ready to dial 911 because you're wearing a Penn State shirt.

In your 40's:
Stop what you are doing. Put on a sweatshirt that is long enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts. Wash your hands. Your bottle of the manly Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds cologne is almost empty so you don't want to waste any of it on a trip to Home Depot. Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing . The spicy young thing running the register is your daughter's age and you feel weird thinking she is pretty. You're just one step away from being called, "Sandusky".

Your 50's
Stop what you are doing, ole "One Foot in the Bucket". Put a hat on, baldy. Wipe the dirt off your hands onto your shirt. Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to wear that shirt anymore because it makes you look fat. The Cutie running the register doesn't shout for help when she sees you coming and you think you still have it. Then you remember the hat you have on is from " Buddy's Bait Shop " and it says, "I Gots Worms ."

In your 60's:
Stop what you are doing. No need for a hat anymore. Hope you have underwear on so nothing hangs out the hole in your shorts . The girl running the register might be cute, but you don't have your glasses on, so you aren't sure.

In your 70's:
Stop what you are doing. Wait to go to Home Depot until the drugstore has your prescriptions ready, too. The young thing at the register smiles at you because you remind her of her creepy grandfather.

In your 80's:
Stop what you are doing. Start again. Then stop again. Now you remember you needed to go to Home Depot, but end up at Wal-Mart instead and wander around trying to think what it is you are looking for. Fart out loud, and think someone called out your name . You went to school with the old lady's grandfather who greeted you at the front door.

In your 90's & beyond:
What's a home deep hoe? Something for my garden? Where am I? Who am I? Why did Ross Perot choose me for V.P.? Why am I reading this? Did I send it? Did you? Who farted?

Topaz (1969)

I watched Hitchcock's Topaz (1969) for the first time today. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it as I'm generally not into spy stories, but I'm glad I checked it out, I enjoyed it. This is criminally overlooked, probably mainly because there are no "stars" to speak of. John Forsythe and Roscoe Lee Browne are the only two I've heard of. This is a tangled web that involves Americans, Cubans, Russians And French. It's long but there are so many twists and turns I never lost interest. There are also three(!) endings that Hitch filmed, due to preview audience's reactions. As with Suspicion, the ending he had to use is the weaker one. All in all, a good addition to any Hitchcock collection.

NEW Wine For Seniors!
I kid you not...

A single glass at night could mean a peaceful, uninterrupted nights sleep.

California vintners in the Napa Valley area, which primarily produce Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic. It is expected to reduce the number of trips older people have to make to the bathroom during the night.

The new wine will be marketed as:

PINO MORE!

Nights of Cabiria (1957 - Italian)

This morning I watched Fellini's Nights of Cabiria (1957). It's now one of my favorite Fellinis. His wife Giulietta Masina(always good) is wonderful as Cabiria, a Prostitute who Dreams of a Better Life but always seems to fall short, but who still has a smile for the final shot. When it looks like she's found Happiness, somehow you know Something Heartbreaking is going to happen. Has some of the usual Fellini Touches, such as Nino Rota's great music. If you've never seen Fellini, you might start with this one. A Wonderful Experience.

The Films of Ozu : Late Spring(1949)

I've finally seen Late Spring. It's the lovely tale of a relationship between father and daughter. She is independent and 27, getting pressure from everywhere to Get Married Already, but she's content with her life as is. Any film that brings me to tears has to be good A lovely experience. I'll look forward to seeing more of his. Simple but powerful.

Champagne(1928)

I watched Hitchcock's Champagne (1928). It was cute enough, about a spoiled girl being cut off financially, so she thinks, by her father, No Great Shakes. What really impressed me was the classical score, including Ravel's Bolero which I hadn't heard in quite a while. That kept me more riveted than the film.

Stolen : Kids Say the Darndest Things

Superman(1978)

This morning I watched Superman for the first time on DVD, an extra 6 minutes I think? This is easily the best superhero movie. The extra scenes were hit or miss. There was Lois Lane on a train as a little girl, having a Clark Kent Sighting, with him as a teenager. This seems far fetched to me, as it seems as adults, they're about the same age. There was a touching scene between Superman and his long dead father Jor-El, where Superman tries to reach out to embrace him, also Jor-El instructs him never to reveal his secret identity. This is notable as a 70's movie with no sex and minimal, if any violence, proving filmmakers don't have to resort to this. Yes, the John Williams music is spectacular. There is a music only version on the DVD I haven't watched yet.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly(2007)

I've seen The Diving Bell and the Butterfly(2007), the true story of Jean-Dominique Bauby, who suffered a stroke which left him with a condition known as locked-in syndrome. The condition paralyzed him from the neck down and also can't speak. This is engrossing from the first frame, as we see everything from Jean Do's point of view, right when he wakes up from the coma. It's claustrophobic for a while, as the viewer is in his POV and sees how he must feel. Jean Do has many sarcastic remarks which apparently were ad-libbed by actor Mathieu Amalric. Max von Sydow is heartbreaking as his papa. It's ultimately inspiring as Jean Do learns to communicate through blinks and composes his memoir. Wonderful film.

Stolen : Once Upon a Time...

There were two Catholic boys, Timothy Murphy and Antonio Secola, whose lives parallel each other in amazing ways. In the same year Timothy was born in Ireland, Antonio was born in Italy.

Faithfully they attended parochial School from kindergarten through their senior year in high school. They took their vows to enter the priesthood early in college, and upon graduation, became priests.

Their careers had come to amaze the world, but it was generally acknowledged that Antonio Secola was just a wee cut aboveTimothy Murphy in all respects.

Their rise through the ranks of Bishop, Archbishop and finally Cardinal was swift to say the least, and the Catholic world knew that when the present Pope died, it would be one of the two who would become the next Pope.

In time the Pope did die, and the College of Cardinals went to work. In less time than anyone had expected, white smoke rose from the chimney and the world waited to see whom they had chosen.

The world, Catholic, Protestant and secular, was surprised to learn that Timothy Murphy had been elected Pope!

Antonio Secola was beyond surprise. He was devastated, because even with all of Timothy's gifts, Antonio knew he was just a bit better qualified.

With gall that shocked the Cardinals, Antonio Secola asked for a private session with them in which he candidly asked, "Why Timothy?"

After a long silence, an old Cardinal took pity on the bewildered man and rose to reply.

STOLEN : Once Upon a Time...

Spartacus(1960)

I have been watching Spartacus this week on DVD. I have to say the backstage drama is almost as entertaining as the movie Featured on commentaries were Howard Fast, who wrote the novel the film is based on, and who was going to write the screenplay, but was replaced by Dalton Trumbo(also on commentaries) as apparently he was not working fast enough. Meanwhile, there was drama with Trumbo, who had been blacklisted and working under a pseudonym, but used his real name here at Kirk Douglas' insistence. Meanwhile, the film was originally directed by Anthony Mann, but was fired by Douglas after a week and replaced by Stanley Kubrick. Whew!

It was interesting listening to Fast and Trumbo, who both had negative things to say, as Fast was fired, and apparently a lot of Trumbo's ideas were nixed. Trumbo even went off on Tony Curtis, calling him a "nothing"! While I'm not a Tony Curtis fan, I found that a little harsh.

All that aside, the movie is greatness. Spartacus, with nothing to lose, leads a slave revolt against Rome. It's thrilling, with a great score. The Big Three, Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton and Peter Ustinov are a joy to watch. Jean Simmons is lovely.

High and Low(1963- Japan)

I finally watched Kurosawa's High and Low(1963). It was a spellbinding experience. A kidnapper intends to kidnap the son of a wealthy executive but winds up getting the chauffeur's son instead. The kidnapper clearly has an axe to grind with him and wants him to pay anyway. The first part plays as a morality play : will he do The Right Thing and pay for his servant's son even though it will ruin him, as he has mortgaged everything in order to get controlling interest in his company? The second part is police procedural, almost documentary style, as the police track down the criminal. Kurosawa uses excellent use of wide screen, showing the executive, his family, the servant and the police in the same shot and their reactions to his decisions. The meeting in the final scene is memorable. Intriguing commentary on the differences in class in Japan and excellent character study.

Sylvia Scarlett(1935)

I finally watched Sylvia Scarlett, Kate Hepburn and Cary Grant's first movie together ; I have been curious about it for a long time. I was way less than impressed. Kate goes on the lam with her dad who's "borrowed" from his company disguised as a boy ; not very convincing. This was barely 90 minutes but seemed to take forever. I'm glad I saw it once though, now I've seen all four Hepburn/Grant films. The other three I'll take anytime!

The Best of Youth(Italian-2003)

I watched The Best of Youth(2003), directed by Marco Tullio Giordana a while ago but just now got around to writing about it. This is wonderful, a 6 hour saga of two brothers and their families from 1966-2003. Originally an Italian miniseries, apparently it was shown in the US in 2 3-hour parts, as it is on DVD. There's not that much lull for 6 hours ; there are enough stories and plot twists to move it along, including the brothers' relationship with an abused girl in a sanitarium. Very moving ending, if a little too optimistic to be believed, but this is a time to let that go. Surprisingly a lot of American 60's music in the beginning. Well worth the investment of your time, though you don't have to watch all 6 hours at once as I did!

CAT DIARY

Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little
dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and
I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must
eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to
disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and
dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into
their hearts,since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they
merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I
am. Jerks!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in
solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the
noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power
of "allergies."I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my
advantage.

This morning I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my
tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again
tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog
receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more
than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards
regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged
protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe ... for now ...

Vivre sa vie: Film en douze tableaux (1962-French)

I watched my first Jean-Luc Godard film, Vivre sa vie: Film en douze tableaux(1962)otherwise known as My Life to Live, Another story of a young woman's descent into prostitution I seem to be watching a few of these lately! Anyway, he definitely has a distinctive style, but I'm not sure it's my cup of tea. I did like a couple of scenes, where our heroine Nana is in a theater watching The Passion of Joan of Arc, crying and another where she is discussing philosophy, I'm a sucker for scenes like that. I did really like what he did with the music. It's beginning to sound like I did like it, I really need to watch it again Maybe I'm just getting burned out on the prostitution theme

Stolen : Four Worms in Church

Four Worms In Church


Four worms and a lesson to be learned!!!!

A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.

The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.

The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.

The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.


At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol...Dead.

The second worm in cigarette smoke...Dead.

Third worm in chocolate syrup...Dead.

Fourth worm in good clean soil...Alive .


So the Minister asked the congregation, What did you learn from this demonstration?


Maxine who was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
."As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"


That pretty much ended the service!

Today is International Disturbed People's Day.
Please send this encouraging message to a friend...Just as I've done.

Diabolique(1955)

Last night I watched Diabolique(1955), directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, starring Simone Signoret, Véra Clouzot and Paul Meurisse. It is a horror film with a great premise : The wife and mistress of the abusive head of a boarding school plot to murder him. They dump his body in the school pool, later when it's emptied, the body is gone! All sorts of eerie things happen until the shocker of an ending. This is the way horror films should be done, there's no haunting score as it's not needed. Suspense is maintained little by little throughout. The acting by Ms Clouzot(Mrs. Director) as the timid wife and Ms Signoret as the dominant mistress is very good. The last shot is funny. Even a message at the end asking the viewer not to reveal the ending to friends, which I thought was humorous. Watch this one at night with the lights off

CELINE AND JULLIETTE GO BOATING from 1974. It's about two girls who explore a haunted house where a deadly drama takes place continually. It's very long--190 minutes!--very surreal, and very transfixing.
Oh, and the girls don't go boating untill the end of the movie!

The Summons by John Grisham(2002)

I've just finished The Summons by John Grisham. It's not one of his best, but still enjoyable. Ray Atlee is a law professor who receives a summons from his father, the Honorable Judge Reuben Atlee, who neither he or his brother Forrest are close to, to discuss his estate, as he is dying. Things get rolling when he arrives to find the father already dead, and finds something else totally unexpected at the house. Not as exciting as many other Grisham books, but it is a good mystery/character study and many twists to keep you hooked toward the end.

Next I'm going to try Animal Farm by George Orwell which I picked up from the library. I'm afraid it might be over my head, but it's quite short, so I thought I would give it a try. I read 1984 many years ago in high school.

Stolen Joke 8/15/11 : 5 Surgeons Talking

Last week there was a Surgeon's conference in Baltimore. After the second day, 5 doctors from different parts of the USA became friends. They decided to have dinner together. That evening, after finishing their meal, they started talking shop while having their coffee. One of the topics of conversation was the various types of patients they had operated on.

The first, a California surgeon, says: " I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered. "

The second, a Texas surgeon, responds: " Yeah, but you should try electricians. Everything inside of them is color coded. "

The third, an Oklahoman surgeon, says: " No, I really think librarians are the best, everything inside of them is in alphabetical order. "

The fourth, an Florida surgeon, chimes in: " You know, I like construction workers.... those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over."

But, the fifth, a Washington, D.C. surgeon, shut them all up when he observed: "

You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no testicles, no brains, and no spine, -- and the head and the anus are interchangeable.

Notes to Self

a couple of weeks ago
we watched "High and Low" also with Toshiro Mifune. From the beginning
Herb was "it's Japanese, subtitled and black and white, how much worse
can it get"!!! Half an hour into it he was "Don't touch that dial"!!!
It was spellbinding and for once the letterbox (do they still call it that)
picture really worked. The first half was about a kidnapping of an
factory manager's son, only the kidnapper's got the wrong little boy
and kidnapped the gardener's little boy instead. There was a moral
dilemma - will the manager be as eager to hand over the ransom for
a servant's child. The next part was the police tracking down the
villain.

 

Dark Water and Premonition are two terrific Japanese "horror" films. Check them out!

Affair in Trinidad(1952)

I watched Affair in Trinidad, which reunites the stars from one of my faves Gilda, the sexy Rita Hayworth and less sexy Glenn Ford

It's quite entertaining. It starts out as a muder mystery, as Rita's husband is killed(or was it suicide?). The mystery is abandoned somewhere along the way, as the police convince Rita to get dirt on her late husband's "friend" Max Fabian (Alexander Scourby), who has Sinister Plans. Ford is her brother-in-law, of course they end up falling for each other. Rita has a couple of great singing/dancing numbers. Her housekeeper who has advice for everyone is a lot of fun. The conclusion isn't as exciting as it could be, but I still reccomend.

 

Love the poster!

Notes From Charlie Chaplin

I found this interesting, it's from David Robinson's book Chaplin : His Life and Art. It's notes Chaplin took regarding the characters of The Tramp and The Gamin from Modern Times :

The only two live spirits in a world of automatons. They really live. Both have an eternal spirit of youth and are absolutely unmoral.

Alive because we are children with no sense of responsibility, whereas the rest of humanity is weighted down with duty.

We are spiritually free.

There is no romance in the relationship, really two playmates - partners in crime, comrades, babes in the woods.

We beg, borrow or steal for a living. Two joyous spirits living by their wits.

I find this interesting as I feel this is probably how a lot of the homeless feel... that they're free and we're the ones weighted down.

Scrabble Group?

I have started thinking about starting a Scrabble group. I love to play but don't get to much. I have played on line before, but there's really no way to know if your opponent is cheating! This is still in the early thinking stage, as I'd have to figure out where and how to get this rolling. I'm started doing some research. I did get an email from a website saying there are others interested in my area. Another thing is I've never been an organizer type, but I'm really thinking about trying this. It would be fun to have a Scrabble group plus the movie group I've started attending. We'll see...

Stolen Joke 8/3/11

You don't have to be Catholic to appreciate this one!!!


A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store.

A store clerk called 911 when they saw him collapse to the floor.

The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open heart bypass surgery.

He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital he was taken to.

A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clip board loaded with several forms, and a pen.

She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.

"Do you have health insurance?" she asked.

He replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."

The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"

He replied, "No money in the bank."

"Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?" asked the irritated nun.

He said, "I only have a spinster sister, and she is a nun."

The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God."


The patient replied, "Perfect.
