^^^ I want that shirt!!!

^^^ I'm just waiting for the day you have Popeye's chicken for breakfast.

^^^ CJW, A & W should pay you for product placement.

Remember the Bruce Springsteen song, "57 Channels and Nothing On"? Just saw two great Rolling Stones films at the American Cinematheque tonight in Hollywood! Sound was cranking and the screen big! Will post more in the movie thread...or the Rolling Stones thread. http://www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/content/the-rolling-stones-charlie-is-my-darling-ireland-some-girls-live-in-texas

I'll pm you later. Amen sister!

^^^ Another CLASSIC! "Do you expect me to talk?" "No Mr. Bond. I expect you to die." Jimmy Page played on the soundtrack sessions, too!

No, not like the Spanish Tortilla or the Italian Frittata. This was an American or French-style omelette, where the eggs are folded over the filling. The mashed potatoes, cheese and bacon are all tucked inside, with a few leftover bacon crumbles for the top. And the tall glass was my own. It's Friday...time for French Toast!!!

^^^ "In Cold Blood" was the first true crime book I read, too, jb. The movie creeped me out when I saw it as a kid with my family at the Drive-In. Later, I began to appreciate it as much for Conrad Hall's exquisite B & W cinematography as for the performances and script. There is a scene towards the end that any lover of photography will recognize as pure poetry. It is when Robert Blake is talking as he's looking out the window as it is raining outside. The reflection of the rain drops hitting the window against Blake's face gives him the appearance of weeping. It's a haunting moment. There's a giant poster display of various James Bond movies in the lobby of the Arclight Hollywood theatre. It's somewhere between 40-50 feet high.

I was born in 1962. I have not known a world without the Beatles, Rolling Stones, or James Bond. Eatlier this year, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Dr. No", the American Cinematheque screened every James Bond movie made...from 1962's "Dr. No" to 2008's "Quantum of Solace". I didn't see every one, mainly concentrating on the '60s-70s. Saw a couple of the Pierce Brosnan's too, and was struck by how much a cartoon they had become. They reminded me of the Joel Schumacher Batman movies. What was a surprise, given how much the fans rejected him at the time, was how much I loved the lone George Lazenby film, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". This is one Bond movie that really holds up and hits you on an emotional level. Of course, it helps that it also stars Diana Rigg(Emma Peel from "The Avengers" tv show), one of the few actresses to hold their own in a Bond movie amongst the boys and toys. Poor George Lazenby...he was cursed by having the impossible task of following Sean Connery, but his Bond is very human and interesting in his own write. I think you'll be very surprised, Ady, when you get to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in your Bond-o-thon. Meanwhile, the latest Daniel Craig Bond opens tomorrow...and I have already had several people who saw an advance screening of "Skyfall" tell me it is the... Best. Bond. Movie. Ever. Well, following the disappointing "Quantum of Solace", I have no doubt it is an improvement over that film. But the best Bond film of all-time? That seems a stretch. I do want to see it as the trailer looks good:

Breakfast: Bacon, mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese omelet(it may sound strange but try it sometime when you have leftover mashed potatoes from the night before), hash browns, biscuits, coffee. Oh, and a tall glass of water.

Affirmative.

Definitely one of the surprises of the night. I would have thought Oregon would legalize it before Colorado.

That reminds me...how is Priscilla? The quality is excellent, Rick...and cheaper cost than street level. That's been my experience with the places here in L.A. Not saying anymore, hehe.

^^^ Good to know, Ady. Got bored with election news, so I went to see the matinee at the museum: "The Caine Mutiny" with Humphrey Bogart, Van Johnson, Fred MacMurray, and José Ferrer. Bogart is great, as usual, as Captain Queeg. Fred MacMurray's character reminded me of both Romney and Ryan. Anyway, a great way to spend a couple hours and a great escape from the chattering boobs on TV.

Aha! So you did! Timeless classic.

^^^ You'll hear from me later tonight but until then...

This makes 4.28.77 sound like a Mike Millard production.

March 11, 1973 Ahoyhalle, Rotterdam, Holland. Audience tape released on TDOLZ vol. 62, entitled "A15". Ladies and gentlemen, we have another contender for the "most incompetent taper" award. This is nigh unlistenable at times...not because of the performance but because the sound quality is atrocious. "Whole Lotta Love" is an affront to competent tapers everywhere.

"WOW!" is a word you will frequently find yourself saying listening to 1971 Led Zeppelin.

For Pete: Good topic and insights to what separated the Beatles from many others. George Martin's approach to orchestration was crucial, and you can see how John Paul Jones learned from it as well by the way JPJ orchestrated the Rolling Stones' "She's Like a Rainbow". They knew that for rock music, it was best to use only certain segments of the symphonic orchestra and to leave the syrupy strings behind for the most part. Woodwinds, brass, cellos, violas...those worked best. And all in moderation. That is why the George Martin produced Beatles and the Led Zeppelin and Page/Plant orchestrations work better than the heavy-handed approach by Phil Spector's "Let It Be" Beatles sessions, Deep Purple, ELP, Metallica and others trying to meld rock and the symphony together. It just comes off as bogus pomposity. For Dallas Knebs: Great link...a truly mind-boggling read. And it also made me appreciate the clear and readable design and format of this forum compared to others. Thanks Sam.

Ady, you've been watching a lot of movies lately, which suggests lots of free time. Are you okay? How's the back?

I can second planted's recommendation on "Argo". One of the best movies I've seen this year and I have to tip my hat to Ben Affleck. After writing him off as an actor lately(Daredevil anyone? Gigli?), he has really shown himself to be an effective director. "Argo" illuminates a little known slice of the Iranian Hostage Crisis...and the entire cast knocks it out of the park. Affleck, Alan Arkin, John Goodman, everybody. And unlike some of the other movies I recommend..."Seven Psychopaths", "The Skin I Live In", "Lawless"...there's nothing that would offend anybody with sensitive natures regarding violence. In other words, you can take the kids if they're 12 or over.

I keep waiting for the weather to cool down so I can make some soup...I LOVE A GOOD SOUP!...but it's been in the 80s lately, so instead I made a nice salad tonight. Grilled skinless chicken breast atop some mixed salad greens, dried cranberries, fresh strawberries, feta cheese, sliced almonds, tossed in a raspberry vinaigrette. Big glass of water...like our friend CJW.
