Cobolt, sir (or Madame, as the case may be), you must let us know what you consider the "good stuff"? I am delighting in the week so far. And tomorrow is Charles Laughton, all day. How can anyone not be happy about that? By the way, since you are a recent signer to the boards, perhaps you don't know that this month is Summer Under the Stars and each day is devoted to one star.

Thanks for the detail. It sure adds a sinister touch to the whole picture of just dancing together.

The Laurel & Hardy set is now up on Amazon and has pictures link to the Amazon page http://www.amazon.com/Laurel-Hardy-Essential-Collection/dp/B005BYBZKY/ref=pd_ys_qtk_general_recs_7?pf_rd_p=1286318242&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_t=1501&pf_rd_i=home&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1PTCNQZPS6X4QHZHRKN1

Costco members should get into their local store ASAP. They have a clearance sale on Disney combo packs gift sets. These were something like $29.95, then got marked down to $19.95, and are now $9.97. Thee may be a $29.95 sticker still on it, but don't be concerned. Take it to the cashier and it is automatically reduced. There are 5 different titles: Wall-E Toy Story Toy Story 2 Up Monsters, Inc. Here's the one for Wall-E Each set contains a Blu-ray/DVD combo set (some with digital copy, too), a hardcover book about that particular film, a Pixar Litho Set of 11 8x10 pictures from Pixar films, and a sticker book. This is a great bargain, since the Blu/DVD would probably cost about $20 each.

Fred, would you have preferred that GWTW start right with the war, instead of all those scenes beforehand where people talk at Tara, talk at Twelve Oaks? Wasn't it Scarlett who said, "Talk, talk, talk! If one of you doesn't mention the war soon, I will change the channel."
