Anyone see Peace Love & Misunderstanding? It's leaving town tomorrow and we're on the fence about going.
Plummer called TSOM, "The Sound of Mucus." But yeah, he has softened somewhat on the subject. |

| He claimed everyone on the set called it that, including Julie Andrews. Replied Andrews, "I never called it The Sound of Mucus." |

| You're making Andrews sound like a priss, and by all reports she has one of the saltiest tongues in the business. A real potty mouth by reputation. |

Sorry, that's how she responded.
I've never heard of her having a salty tongue, though she is one to poke fun her goody-goody image, and Blake Edwards regularly gave her lilacs as an in-joke between them because, before he met her, he was asked why she was so popular and he said "She's got lilacs for pubic hair." |

When I found out that about her, I started to like her. I still do. |

This blurb is from some blog:
"...She married Blake Edwards in 1969 and gave him a lilac every November till he sadly passed away last year. They were together for 41 years." |

| Yes, they gave them to each other. He made sure there were lilacs backstage during the run of Victor/Victoria. |

| You fucking right, youngster. Wanna start fighting again? Ah, those were the days. What you've never been able to see is that this is a social group as much as anything else. |

No lie. My bi-polarism is kicking in again. I'm on clonopin and seraquel, but they don't seem to be working. I have a call into my shrink at Kaiser. That's not an apology, marc, just an excuse. The old days were terrible, for us and the group, when we were both drinking, and I hope we can leave it there. Behind the Curtain has long been dead, but I'll always respond to you in kind.
One more thing: film discussion is still the spine of this group, though we drift from time to time, because we like one another. That's what friends do. You must know it's true. Mergen once said as much, in her eloquent fashion, and then gracefully left.
Marc, I hope you never leave. Your film posts are the best. |

Speaking of current film....
just saw Peace, Love and Misunderstanding - really an acting showcase. The whole ensemble is terrific and this a warm, funny film, a "feelgood" movie in the very best sense. Needless to say, Jane Fonda is perfectly cast as an old hippie grandmother. And Catherine Keener....sigh. A pleasant surprise was an excellent debut performance from the boy who played Keener's son, a budding filmmaker whose hero is Werner Herzog. I think the speedbumps he encounters in his attempt to do a documentary will be enjoyed by most everyone here. |

| Yam is a gentleman through and through, but I'll never fathom the character change that makes Marc, a regularly off-topic poster on Current Film back on the Times site, so judgemental of off-topic posting here. |
