I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you're a DEGENERATE!

Just wanted to get that out there.

For those of you following from home, the news is that the manufacturer of my on-the-fritz-since-July plasma display has managed, according to them, to have successfully rebuilt the defective part that caused all the trouble, and depending on when the part reaches my TV repair facility, I could have my set fixed some time this week. What on earth shall I revel in first? The Criterion Blu-ray of Paths of Glory—the above screen cap is from the standard def edition of a new master/transfer—is only one of many exciting potential choices. I'll keep you posted. A new Blu-ray Consumer Guide should follow the blessed event in short order, if said event comes off.

Kirk's STRANGERS WHEN WE MEET co-star is still kicking. Seems like she's been mentioned a few times around here lately...

I can't believe my Dad and I couldn't conjure up all these names when discussing Kirk Douglas and his era of movie stars. I'll have to get on the blower with him tomorrow and let him know just how wrong we were. However, I might not necessarily agree that every one of those names were solid gold 'movie stars', though.

Incidentally, my mother was present for our conversation and helpfully pointed out that we were only discussing male movie stars. We thought about it for a minute and STILL failed to think of any female stars of Kirk's era or before who are still with us. The shame, the shame ...
