[Closed] What's annoying you currently? II

I understand and agree with you by the way.

Sunset Boulevard in 1950 was quite a groundbreaking Wilder film. It was done after The Lost Weekend and before Stalag 17 to put it in a time frame. Not really noir it was a story about how Hollywood deals with older over the hill silent stars. Gloria Swanson and Eric Von Stroheim were both big stars in the silent era and past the days when Stroheim actually directed Swanson in some of her films. Swanson hires Holden to rewrite her script which is going to bring her back into stardom again as well as the younger man and older woman relationship. The story begins with the dead body in the pool (Holden) and is a flashback of what happened told by Holden in the morgue. The music fits perfectly and I think if you watch the film you'll have a greater appreciation of the music. This score was somewhat of a departure in 1950. This is one of the films that Wilder did which makes me appreciate what he contributed to Hollywood, who I'm sure weren't real happy at what he did.

I just realized how nice and clear my head was this morning and then I remembered I'd forgotten to take my pills. Yep my blood pressure is up as I can feel it in my head and I'll take them but man the difference. Watch yourself and don't ever have a stroke.

The DVD (latest version) offers the 'missing' morgue scene.

Montgomery Clift turned down the role because he didn't want to be seen having an affair with an older woman, thus Holden who'd been struggling since Golden Boy and Our Town got the part and it helped vault him to stardom.

It was Jack 'Dragnet' Webb's first role of substance.

Buster Keaton had a non speaking role as a member of the card game scene dubbed the 'waxworks'

The lead MSN item this morning was Bullock filing for divorce and revealing she has a baby. Anything to take our mind off of the economy, rising food prices, cost of gas, and unemployment.

Having a little problem getting my prescriptions filled plus the pharmacy on their own changed the quantity on one from 90 to 30

I have a copay of $16.00 for a 90 day supply for each bp medication. So it is $32.00 for 3 months.
The interesting account of the med they changed from 90 to 30 was this. Medicare won't pay for 90 but will for 30. I've tried to explain that its not covered by the insurance either way but they won't listen. I had to get the store manager involved on this one.

That's a bit poo - my ID4 CD wasn't signed even though I was order 84 out of 100.

Oh well, time for another adventure getting it signed!

Maybe if you contact La La Land they may be able to do something for you?

Here bifocals are something separate to varifocals - though serve the same function.

For us, bifocals are where there's two prescriptions in the one lens (distance and reading) but there's no attempt to blend the two lens types into the one piece of glass/plastic. Varifocal lenses look like one piece of glass where the two prescriptions are blended into one another.

I don't dare look to see what my numbers are (I've always had bad eyesight). And if I remove my glasses I remain completely oblivious.

Work.

They put a system in place that I'm told to follow, then they just tell me to break it whenever it's convenient for them. What the f**k is the point?!

Bond business not going well too?

Bond business has seen brighter and better days. When I started in this business (in 2003), the problem was there was too much work (and few people to do it). Sadly, things have changed.
