Re: Music Mad Members?

Have you heard his contributions to the John Williams score for Memoirs of a Geisha ? While I was thinking about Joshua Bell's escapade, I was wondering if the charismatic and more famous Itzhak Perlman would've gone unnoticed by passersby in the subway. I also amused myself by wondering if the not...

I know it was a few years later but you could apply your question to the entire movie "Miracle At Morgan's Creek." The idea of a young marrying someone from a party, getting pregnant, can't remember her husband's name, throw in bank robbery, a jail break and talk of suicide it's a wonder, ...

Can I get one reduced? Yes...but I'm gonna want to balance the color in that one also. Do you think it might be possible to get a better quality copy of that photo. It would look tons better if we could! :wink: Otherwise I can cut that one down and play around with the color balance some. Is this b...

Moira:

I assume your fondness of classical music goes beyond Mr. Bell. I am a fan of classical music as well. My most memborable night as a concert attendee was watching Yo Yo Ma play Elgar's Cello Concerto. I was in the 5th row.

Now we have more things we can talk about.

It's been years for me too. I probably saw it on AMC. I remember it fondly though.

Jon:

We got an email from the family that their children are fine. I usually listen to Ron too and he makes quite a convincing case about the futility of most gun laws.

Look at all the good the restrictive laws in DC has got them.

You should love the Burns and Allen shows. They were very good.

Two other shows I'll add from my younger days are "The Odd Couple" and "The Rockford Files."

Mustaches were quite the fashion during that time. I think more men had them than not.

Ken:

The last place I saw this film to play was on the Encore Westerns channel but that probably goes back to late last year.

There's no argument on any of them but one that hasn't been mentioned is "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon." Wayne's "grandfatherly" performance is unlike anything else he did. Some people think there may be too much humor in it ("Picnicing. Mr. Pinnell?) but I think it's a good stu...

[quote="Mr. Arkadin"]I felt that Tetley's son was nessacary if only to show what kind of a monster his father was, and how his nature created a son that was in fact, spineless like himself. Unlike his father, he is not attempting to hide his nature. You do bring up a good point about the M...

Determined people and criminals are not going to care about gun laws. It's a horrible tragedy. I have an acquaintance from my church that has a daughter at V Tech. (No word yet on her) but gun control laws won't fix this.
