The Revolution Will Be Annotated. June 16, 2010. The turn of the screw. I'm writing today about one of the best things ever to come out of Canada. And that's saying something- and I'll do my best not to be puerile. But I'm talking about a great screw. Incidentally, am I the only person who thinks "puerile" ought to be pronounced " poo AIR isle. And not " Pure Ill. And in fact I keep my nuts in a coffee can. Now can we just get on with it? I'm to the point where I will generally throw away slotted screws.

Michael's Mixed Media Playroom: December 2013

Because of that, the show had no center- Underwood's presence was puny, as though she was just one of the children. Her voice was strong and she certainly looked the part, but her Maria had no personality, let alone being a force of nature like Andrews' Maria. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Favorite Blogs and Sites.

The show ran for years on Broadway, has been revived at least once, and seems like it will live on forever in school and community productions. So why has every filmed version of Annie been a disappointment? Why can't they get Annie right? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Favorite Blogs and Sites. Yarmando: A Glimpse at Don.

Michael's Mixed Media Playroom: July 2014
http://michaels-mixedmedia.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

In this age of streaming video and countless outlets for movies, I have been enjoying more access to the Golden Age of TV-movies, back when the range was wider than just romance or true crime or Sharknado. Best were the genre entries (horror, fantasy, sci-fi), some of which were as good as any B-movie of the time- see my review of 1971's Black Noon. The spirit of Nature?

The Revolution Will Be Annotated. January 04, 2010. You Are Not a Pleasure Unit; or, My Banal Anxieties. First, an observation: The Flint. The first title above is a quotation from Our Man Flint) play differently after Austin Powers. The tongue in the earlier films is somewhat salaciously in cheek, but the films are silly without being spoofs. Their existence renders at least a couple of the Austin Powers films superfluous. IMHO badabimbo. What's that? And now for something completely different . Subscri...

Wordshed: Twice Bitten
http://wordshed.blogspot.com/2012/11/twice-bitten.html
The Revolution Will Be Annotated. November 19, 2012. So I posted another free ad in Craigslist, this time to offer a pile of gravel free for the hauling. I'd like it out of my yard, and people are always looking for "clean fill" (judging from the signs I see on my travels). You meet the most interesting people on Craigslist! As I have chronicled herein. My ad for the gravel read, in part, as follows:. 2 Don't play games . be a real person with the ability to load and haul gravel.
