Time Out for O/T – Vol. 18

I found this fascinating!
“The Spielberg Face”

CL, yep it was originally meant to refer to Arthur Godfrey. I knew nothing of this at the time, of course–we were mere babes! But I do remember Godfrey and even as a little kid couldn’t understand why such an old fart with a perpetually stuffy nose was on TV.

PS, I vaguely knew that there was some controversy about Godfrey being an ass despite his folksy image, so I refreshed my memory via Wiki:

Romney put his family dog in a crate on the top of his car and drove for hundreds of miles. He doesn’t even have that redeeming grace.

I did see it, Sally, and what got me was how many character actors I knew had died. I don’t even know their names, but enjoyed them. BTW, if you ever have extra time, check out all the interviews on Inside the Actor’s Studio on YouTube, also the old Dick Cavette Show has amazing long interviews with Bette Davis and Katherine Hepburn! One night I was up ’til 3 fascinated.

He’s the Leona Helmsley candidate–hates the masses.

Here is an encouraging Tweet from WH spokesman:

The House bill simply shortens the review process in a way that virtually guarantees that the pipeline will NOT be approved.

Sally, I am always up pretty late, and I find that whenever TCM fails me I can always rely on Law and Order. I am seriously addicted and it’s on all night. If I am very lucky, Law and Order Criminal Intent is on too. What amazes me is that I have yet to see them all–very few re-runs.

There is nothing so great when I am preparing the Daily Planet than to have Law and Order on for company–unless it’s TCM. Last night, I saw a Liz Taylor movie I’d never even heard of!

And isn’t Mitt just so magnetic? What a schmoozer! He’s just the kinda guy ya wanna have a Veuve Clicquot’58 with!

Just as we were talking about on Vox Pop tonight–here is Mitt Romeny, “mam of the people.” And why he can’t win. Here he is with the meter guy in New Hampshire–Gah!:

Bito, we must have both caught that at the same moment–I already bookmarked that. Some really good quotes there!

“Herbert Hoover once ran on the slogan, “Two cars in every garage”. Apparently, the Republican candidate this year is running on the slogan, “Two families in every garage”.”
~Harry Truman

Surprising update to this. I reTweeted her Tweet and it was RT’d by a few who were irate at her. She then replied to all:

Maybe people should spend their time touting administration wins, not tearing down other Dems.

I told her I do tout administration wins, and she followed me. Maybe I can keep her informed. Actually, I give her credit for admitting she didn’t know an important fact, and for at least appearing to want to learn. (Or am I naive?)

Too young. (My age no matter how old I get will always be “too young”!)

He had an abrasive and arrogant personality at times, but I always found him interesting and a great read. I think it’s a loss too.

Wow, this is sad: NYT NEWS ALERT: Christopher Hitchens, Prolific Columnist, Is Dead at 62, Vanity Fair Reports

» Posted By Chernynkaya On December 15, 2011 @ 9:11 pm

Sally, I did watch it and it was very sad, as I remembered. I also watched Fonda on Inside the Actors’ Studio and she talked a lot about that. It was fascinating. Thanks!

Here is just the perfect example of journalistic malpractice; an actual Tweet from Joan Walsh (editor of Salon and a frequent MSNBC paid contributor):

More private sector jobs have been created in the Obama administration than in 8 years under Bush. How did I not know that? #edshow

Yep–it was WaPo. What a douche.

I love that photo. It’s so genuine. And yes, especially Malia. The little one still has that sweet baby face.

Sweet!

Kes, I read the same stuff and thought, “And people have to ask what OWS is about?!”

» Posted By Chernynkaya On December 15, 2011 @ 12:42 pm

KT–Hehe! I like how he keeps looking at the person as if to say, “WTF?”

» Posted By Chernynkaya On December 15, 2011 @ 12:40 pm

I just found The Doll Maker on YouTube and I’m going to watch it again–been years! I hope I catch that interview. Night Sally!

» Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 10:46 pm

Sweet dreams, dear kes.

Sally, I wish I’d seen that–I adore Robert Osborne and TCM. I love the interviews too. One of the best was with Liza Minellli of all people–and with Angela Lansbury too. Did you know she was only a year or two older than Lawrence Whats-his-name who played her son in Manchurian Candidate?

Edit: Harvey. Lawrence Harvey.

Oh, I figure it’s like when Zorro tears apart a stuffed animal. He thinks he’s been a stealthy hunter and has his trophy and eviscerates his prey. He is still hungry but has been amused briefly.

Forget about virtual brownies though. You know it would drive you straight to the supermarket.

Sally, even I knew it wasn’t real. They were never actually hungry. They seemed to be doing OK, even if they didn’t have any extras. But did you ever see a TV movie from the 90’s I think called The Doll Maker, with Jane Fonda? It was a tragedy of Appalachia and a fabulous movie (and book.)

Kes, I hope so–thank you!

I can tell you judging by my step-daughters, Chinese/European kids are gorgeous. (psst–good luck!)

Funny you say that, because she said she thought at first glance it was her cat–who also smelled like fish up close.

» Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 9:58 pm

Oh gee, thanks! What I do wrong?
