Notorious is a great movie. Not much action, you're right. My favorite part is when Cary Grant grabbed Ingmar Bergman and left Claude Rains to deal with the Nazis...or whatever they were...and not a shot fired.

Since I posted that link to Grandmothers getting high I feel I have compensate by leaving a relevant post. I like Dean Kootz better than Stephan King. One thing I really admire about him personally is that he endured years of abuse at hands of an alcoholic father and instead of shaving his head and killing a bunch of people when he grew up...he turned his nightmares into fiction. His style is easy to read and another thing I appreciate about his work is that he always has a solid beginning, middle and end, something lacking in some of Kings work.

How about Sue Grafton?

I knew it would. Thanks for little medical history lesson, I love to hear about what it was like in the old days. I guess I was being too hard on the screenplay, but still...I have to agree with the senior resident.
However, it makes me wonder just how over-priced our medical care is today when so many kitchen appendectomies patients survived...if he HAD ether??? Maybe they didn't...lol...
If you think of any films that offended your medical sensibilities let me know...I know when I see someone who's supposed to be an artist sit in front of a canvas painting over the same spot without any paint on their brushes drives me crazy...it's like just hire a real painter for a hand close up...

Max I kinda agree with Jack...however, if you didn't over do the He and Yu jokes, it might work.

Sol, may I suggest you pull groups showing no activity for three to six months. That might help eliminate some of your concern about too many groups. If you put a written warning on the group page, it might discourage those fly-by-night members who join only for Strongest Start and disappear shortly thereafter, leaving behind a group taking up space.

Just a thought.

PS you might also make it mandatory to have at least three members in the public groups.

I remember hearing that story on TCM, Max. Not the part about them having cans and cans of film, but that he and Hitchcock...I have to write out his name because I didn't meet him ...sat around and made it up. Maybe how they got Cary to sit across from Eva was left on the cutting room floor.

I kid you about meeting 'Hitch', but count me very impressed, jealous and in awe. As for Cary Grant's maid...what did she have to say?

JACK...Thanks for up-dating me on North by Northwest. All I could remember was that Grant was let out of a bus surrounded by fields. The next time it's on TCM I'll watch it. But I did remember wondering what they thought chasing him with a plane would accomplish and I remember Hitchcock putting it in the film because it looked exciting....Again, I'll have watch the movie. Jack you should get Gillian Flynn's editor...evidently they weren't as picky as yours.

Ps....I googled NXNW and you were right. Now I'll have to think of another example...if you can let me know...Or if anyone reading this can think of a film with a big plot hole...SHARE....:)
PPS...And I forgot the plane spewed bullets...still it was a pretty inefficient way to kill a man....but it was dramatic to watch...and you said the plot holes didn't bother you...why didn't they....????

Jack go to the top of your browser where you see the words: File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools and Help. Click view, on the drop down menu is 'zoom' click on that, on that drop down menu click 'zoom out' until all the names are visible. Your font is too big for the box and zooming out will decrease the size of the font in the box...:)

I confess I did not research this breed before I bought him. I needed a little dog that was not a poodle. My patient's dog died years ago and every time we see the doctor he asks if my patient has a dog yet. He looks directly at me when he says it meaning he thinks she needs a dog.

So when the opportunity to get a small dog through my patient's family presented itself I jumped at it. Also my daughter has a Border Collie so I knew I'd have an expert on the breed on speed dial.

But njc is right if I don't keep him busy he'll get in big trouble. Upside my patient loves him.

Sorry that's Sheltland Sheepdog and Border Collie.

I write, actually I'm rewriting, whenever Bear lets me. I've never had a puppy as young as Bear, I got him when he was six weeks old, and I had no idea he would be so much work. His breed, Shetland Border Collie, is within the ADD spectrum, meaning they need 70 minutes of exercise a day. Potty training, throwing stuff for him to bring back, plus work leaves me with almost no energy to write. Fortunately for me, my son and I decided Bear needed doggie time with my son's dogs, every weekend.

So now I'm going to write on the weekend and do whatever Bear wants the rest of the week....
