Even though I just rewatched it again a few days ago, I'm watching "Nosferatu" again. When I rewatched the old Image Entertainment DVD I bought in the '00's, I thought to myself, might be time to "upgrade", so I ordered the remastered Kino Lorber Blu-ray, which arrived today.

Think the reason I like the film so much is because it was the first movie ( Read more... )

Even though I already had "Bringing Up Baby" (1938) on a years old DVD release from Warner Home Video, I ordered the Criterion reissue on Blu-ray. I knew to expect lots of "film grain" on the Blu, after reading reviews before ordering. To someone who might not know about film grain, they might would prefer the DVD version, which I'm sure was made ( Read more... )

This evening I digitized another original unedited "recording session" from the Tape and Record Show Enterprises "archives". It was the complete three-hour edition of "Orbit's Independent Sampler" as originally aired on KNLU (now KEDM) radio on Sunday, August 18,1985 at 4:00pm central, hosted by Dennis Goodwin. I bought music from Dennis' local ( Read more... )

Thinking my son has a "house mate". Even though he lives next door in the old trailer mom lived in for a time before I moved her in here after she retired, and she rented it out a few years after, I haven't heard from him in over three weeks (respect his privacy, figure if he wants to contact, he will). Noticed a white "Jeep" looking vehicle parked ( Read more... )

Listening to a digitization done a while back of something Tape and Record Show Enterprises rarely did back in the day, a "test episode" for a pretend radio show, never on the "broadcast schedule", testing how a weekly top ten show would be formatted, "The James Stricklin Musical Muse Countdown". Test episode recorded November 19, 1984. First ( Read more... )

This month marks 27 years since I last experienced "intimacy" with a female. If the opportunity WERE to happen again, I might not remember what to do.

In the past two days, I've gotten three Livejournal "password reset request" emails. Seems someone is determined to try and hack into my account for some reason.

After re-watching "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" earlier, it reminded me of the "pilot" of an occasional half hour show my fictional pretend radio show thing back in the 1980's did, called "The E.T. Food Palace". It was a direct rip-off of SCTV's "3-D House of Beef". Mainly featured myself as "Bruno" and James Stricklin as "Dr. Tongue". It ( Read more... )

Well, I'm up early for a switch. Wanted to get a piece of mail out to the box before the carrier runs. Was going to mail it yesterday, but I saw the carrier pulling away from my box JUST as I was stepping out the door at a little after 10:00am yesterday morning. They normally don't get here till after 11:00am ( Read more... )

Random Observation: If the copy of the film "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" Universal used on the 18-movie W.C. Fields DVD collection released a few years ago is any indication, the film could REALLY use a serious restoration soon. They used stills with the original music overlays for the opening/closing credits to make them look clearer, but the ( Read more... )
