Ando replied to Nerves's discussion 'Comedy of Errors' in the group Shake & Stir"Yea! Something new to watch tonight. Thanks, Nerves. Not my favorite of his plays, either, but I haven't seen this production. And the subtitles aren't 10 feet tall. "
Ando replied to Ando's discussion 'High Noon' in the group Western Roundup"This really is a great movie. But I gotta put in a few more viewings before I venture an impression.

Sounds like fun. Perhaps in May? I'm moving and my isp situation will be 69'd for a while. Good idea, though."
Ando replied to The Professor's discussion 'What did you watch today? v 34.0'"I dunno. At this point it's like a (overworked) muscle or something. Taking a Jeter leave for a bit. But Google and the right keywording still yields treasures."

Netflowers said… I was just checking out VUDU.COM, I found KAMA SUTRA $2.99, but if you sign up they say they will give you 10 Free movies, so maybe you can make KAMA SUTRA one of your Feebies.

Sorry taking to long to get back to you ANDO. I agree with you about Kama Sutra, I bought the DVD, a few years ago. It is now playing on AMAZON INSTANT VIDEO FOR $1.99. I did not check out HULU yet. If I find it anywhere else I will let you know. It probably is on 1channel also, but that is a dodgy site and I don't recommend you going there.

Sevorin said… Ando . . . how does one join Shake & Stir without waiting for the New Number Two to send an e-mail?
I see that my membership request is "pending" and that -- contrary to my wishes -- the decision to accept me or cast me out with the char will be delivered to me at an e-mail address which I've disclosed to no one but the apparatus that allows me to sign in.
As a basic matter of policy, one would think that new discussion groups are meant to be inclusive rather than exclusive.
You surely cannot imagine that the passion to talk Shakespearean film is one that a helluvalotta people share on this site. Take members where you find them. I've posted frequently about Shakespeare and can definitely hit the ground running -- if I get the chance.
So -- please -- do what's necessary to expedite my application to join. And if you'd be so kind, lemme know the answer on my home page comment wall, regardless of any e-mails that are sent.
