It depends. How big/full is your solid waste facility?
The Green Police Ad is designed to "create the need--supply the need" I think they put a good scare in people who've been trained to be afraid. Throughout the commercial I kept thinking why aren't they arresting the store owner for the plastic bags? The Lightbulb manufacturer? I became PO'd about the focus on the end user and not the supplier of non-recyclable goods.
Don't lose sleep over it, MM. If the county is really paying someone to examine for recyclables, why don't they just fee the residents by the size of the trash can, and save the employee for a positive recycling program, instead of a punitive one? My trash collector is a private, not public, operator and they charge me by the amount, ultimately. It is to my benefit to recycle -saves me money.

Let's just hope the climate change moderates for Spring. You've had enough of winter. You guys just aren't prepared for that much of an onslaught.

Today, February 11th, is the late Bobby "Boris" Pickett's birthday.
My favorite version of Monster Mash:

So sorry about your continued winter, MM.. Around here we just count the weeks before Spring thaw.
Keep the warm thoughts coming. I know you'll be hit again shortly, we hope for the best . . .
It's been a long, cold, lonely winter. . .

Oh, Now you're talking my language! If Sprocketman has some stories, all the better!
I would be interested to hang out again at the old MGM/now Sony soundstage where the ghost resides... I understand he still makes appearances, usually when there's a shoot, which is ironic for a ghost, no?

Roberta Flack has my birthday. What hope it gives to have such talent in your sphere astrologically speaking. I wonder why the good looking man in the other thread didn't set her biggest hit on the list. But then, I thought I could pull up her LP recording easily, which is a masterpiece.
The First Time I Ever. . . . tried to look this up. I will settle for this one. :/ Most of what I found was rushed in style.

If you go to youtube, one of my favorite channels is Slo912's. His music is primo, and the sound -fantastic... his genre is soul. Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway,

> Speaking of the original Fame, just watched it last week on blu-ray, and it is still as good as I remembered it, especially the scene where they come out and start singing and dancing in the street.
One HAS to appreciate the amount of work require to pull that scene off! That easy impulse feel takes so much energy in planning, execution and post production, it makes my head hurt to think of it!

Lesley Gore needs no intro from me. She has a distinctive voice one can identify and that's the difference between a hit singer and one who's legendary... (remember that, distinctive voices. You are never forgotten) For singles trapped in this couples week, a couple of *pity party* favorites.
It's My Party:

Maybe I Know:
She is musician and songwriter herself. She, along with her brother Michael, wrote a song for the movie Fame that was nominated for the Academy Award.
Out Here on My Own:

Irene Cara's hit version from the 1980 movie.. actual clip/terrible sound (note TCM bug), or composite video/great sound.
Lesley's has the feel of an intimate version of singing from a diary in her heart. Irene's has the feel of the anguished artist. Pounding on her piano, trying to sell it..

Thanx, Holly! Candle count looks about right !

I was thinking the Warner/Paramount Lots.. The Paramount backlot has a lot of character, and streets are arranged very clever, to accomodate multiple shoot schedules. The Sony Lot was pretty disappointing to me. Looks too spiffy in places, and too blank in others.. though I found the business offices actually pretty interesting. My son had me tag along once. Kyle in Hollywood would Love it! Some incredible movie posters grace the walls.. Primo displays!

Awesome choice, Jack! Bare-chested and everything!

Funny, I live in the city. Almost never think it quiet.
Copland's Quiet City:

Copland's The Promise of Living does have the feel of soundtrack to *The American Experience.* The video is very good. Enjoy my friends as I seek more.
I appreciate your kindness, I want to return it, ten-fold....

Jack and MM-
Do you want me to look these up?
JF may have been thinking of Simple Gifts (Shaker hymn):
This portion of Appalachian Spring:
During the holidays, the same melody is used for The Lord of the Dance (Revels). Different lyrics, giving it a distinctly different message.
Quiet City!! Yes, YES *YES!*
I have to check back to the thread; Thanks about the birthday wishes.. yours are the first. Bobby Darin, no less.. Do you think Joel McCrea is around to wish a happy birthday too?
h5. I wonder who else shares the birthday tomorrow?

Carole King, who's birthday is one day ahead of mine.

The Fountainhead.

Sprocket man:
Next time I'm in LA, I would love a studio tour with you!

HI MM, welcome to National Heartbreak week over here. Your choice was nice, but I really like the Lincoln Portrait you posted on the other thread. I actually know the piece.
Here another Copland composition that I really like, and I knew of this before The Beef Council did. I love the energy in this. Love his Rodeo. and I also love his Billy the Kid.
Hoedown from Rodeo.

From BIlly the Kid:
Do you think other's here would know they're ballets?
Love Aaron Copland, and also Charles Ives...

Keep hope alive. There are legislators trying to make off-shoring labor like that illegal. Just not enough of them, yet.
How many here post from India?

This is dangerous territory here. If we slip into Eydie's style, then what could happen next?
h5. it could be that we play the queen of heartache:
h3. Vicki Carr!
Let's not go there. ;-)
Instead, focus on Eydie's cute "That Girl" hair and dress.
If He Walked Into My Life:
Carol King will be my next installment. You do what you want.

> For a very long time, it used to be cheaper to just shoot in the backlot and maybe have a 2nd unit get some establishing shots or something. More recently, however, it seems almost anything that is set in America can be filmed in Canada instead, because it is cheaper for the studio.
I know. How many are you aware the location of Juno is suggested to be Minnesota? I think it was shot in Vancouver, however.

A later Neil Sedaka hit.. I have a better recording on my iPod, though this is the best here..

And another early one, from a long-forgotten LP. Back to his favorite subject in the early years, teen love.

h4. I stay away from Information, Please topics . . .
. . . because it's crack for me. The thread, *Movie Rambles* is so much fun, but the back reading the thread takes so long to get started. I stick with music and quotes. I'm fearful a thread will start on one of the favorite movies. I only have maybe 60-70 of them..
h5. btw, Good Morning, Everyone!
