I tried, but failed, to find it—if it exists. Can someone point me in the right direction?

There was this one.

Absolutely.

His name comes up from time to time in the "Now Reading" thread. I've got the new one, "Invisible" but haven't gotten to it yet. Brooklyn Follies, Book of Illusions, Leviathan are all great reads.

She chose (assuming she had a choice) several great movies to do. I found one of my favorite movies ever, "Hud," for $3 last week!

I spelled her name wrong BTW, it's "Neal".

"Hud" is a great flick and hearing that voice of her's is always a treat ("Hud" is great on a lot of levels actually).

It's funny, my oldest sister pulled out a well worn VHS copy of the Homecoming last week (holiday story the "Waltons" television show was based on), and freaked out when her tape machine ate it. Which reminds me I have to find that somewhere on disc. Patrica Neal plays the mother in that one.

Speaking of classics, I watched the Americanization of Emily for the first time the other day.

Fun watching an initially reluctant Julie Andrews pursue James Garner.

Just finished this.

I mentioned before I'm not an Eggers fan. Read A Heartbreaking Work... and was really turned off by it. However I really really enjoyed this.

( Hint, Maudie....I looking at you).

Here lately If Charlie Parker were a Gunslinger (tks Sir Stewart) and My Parents were Awesome .

Must say, she has good taste.

I saw the segment plugging Neko's appearance on TCM's "Now Playing" a couple of days ago. This whole thing just re-affirms my infatuation with the lady.

Awesome. All four of those are genuine classics. Speaking of Woody Allen, a few nights ago I revisited Crimes and Misdemeanors for the first time in at least a decade. Man, that's a great film--definitely one of Allen's very best.

Can't pick a favorite Allen film, it's just too difficult. Broadway Danny Rose is up there tho...

"A Face in the Crowd" is pretty fantastic.

Patricia Neal was/is awesome and alluring.

Unless you're in like a 5-team league. But 10-team+, if someone is not owning Ricky something is not right.

We are only six strong this season in an office league. And we're all a little prone to ADD, in that we've been picking up and floating players all season long.

I'm really bummed that Ronnie Brown is out for the year. Not just because he is on my fantasy team. Luckily I picked up Ricky Williams before the season and the two of them have carried my team (to an average record). But I really like watching him play and was hoping he could carry the Dolphins to a wildcard berth. Without him, I don't know. I love Ricky Williams - probably my favorite current NFL player - but I think without Brown, they are doomed. The Panthers will run them down tonight.

I picked up Ricky early yesterday before Ronnie officially went on IR.

The Dolphins have been one, if not the funnest team to watch since last season. You gotta love a guy like Ronnie Brown.

Exciting.

Hopefully the tour will swing down the eastern seaboard again. I'll certainly be plugging for her w/the local promoters.

BTW...there's currently a Subaru TV commercial featuring "Before I knew". Kind of a neat treat to hear.

yay redskins.

Hunter Smith has an arm!

Cut me some slack. We've had very little to crow about lately.

First, Tom Waits.

He'd be interesting. Fun. Probably a little resourceful too.

Next, Shakira.

Wait, I'm done. I can't get past Shakira.

My still-vivid recollections of all of this make me wonder what more important facts are missing from my brain to for me to keep holding on to this...

I'm not an Aerosmith fan, but have managed to read the entire thread over the last few days.

A moment ago a thought crossed my mind: "Resident Aerosmith expert".

Middle aged and overly nostalgic I enjoy LPs old or new and I don't mind scruffy examples of desirable stuff found in the used bins.

I have always hated CD jewels. With a passion.

Leva, ...levitation !

This thread has done a good thing.

I've had a copy of "What is the What" sitting at the top of a stack of books now for weeks, reluctant to try Eggers again.

50+ pages in and it's already terrific.

Really? I and Love and You from the Avetts? Emotionalism, at least in my opinion, is a MUCH stronger album.

Thank you.

I've almost posted that sentiment three times now....

Kinks kick....
