Thanks for recommending this, Scott. With a power outage in our neighborhood, Susan and I went out for dinner & a film and luckily chose this on your say so. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Susan particularly liked it so much, saying it was a such good performance from the leading actress, with a tense bitterness and the gradual feeling developing for the doctor and then of course the remarkable ending.— March 13, 2013 6:19 p.m.
It's 'Take Aim at Marks Day' at The Reader
Aw, Scottie is cute! It brings to mind either a sweet little breed of terrier, or else "good old reliable Scottie Ferguson" whom Jimmy Stewart played so sympathetically in "Vertigo." I know, for myself, that whenever anybody calls me Georgie it probably signifies that they love me. It was the last thing my father said to me before he died.— February 20, 2013 11:51 a.m.
Timothy Spall, the man who should be king
Further irony is that Spall and Staunton have been together in several films, mainly directed by Mike Leigh, and sometimes, I believe, portraying married couples. Another one of Spall's excellent character portrayals may be seen in the 1999 BBC film SHOOTING THE PAST.— November 30, 2012 2:12 p.m.
San Diego's Social Swami Burl Stiff Dies
'Twas ever thus with local social columns. Way back in the day, a rich Mexican-American clan by the name Alessio ruled the roost in both San Diego and Tijuana, where they owned & ran the Caliente racetrack. The restaurant Mr. A's was named for and run by the paterfamilias John Alessio. One time a lavish Alessio family wedding was described in detail in the San Diego Union social column. Immediately following it, another wedding was descibed, in which the same columnist slyly included the phrase: "all was marked by restraint and good taste." This detail did not escape the gaze of the Allesios; and ever thereafter the exact same phrase was somehow included in the description of every subsequent Alessio function. This ceased after La Familia Alessio more or less fell from grace, with some of the dynasty serving prison terms for this & that.— May 20, 2011 7:29 p.m.
