    I loved Frasier. John Mahoney was great in it. (They all were, really.)

    Sad news. 77 is too young these days. Big FRASIER fan.
    I am extremely serious.

    “My brother is too kind. He was already eminent when my eminence was merely imminent.” God, Frasier was special. Don’t think I’ve ever seen anything else like it (from America). I know it dipped a lot after a few years, but it was so smart at its peak.

  5. Anne got the boxed set of all 11 seasons of FRASIER for Christmas and we have been working our way through them. Twenty-two discs of excellence!

  6. We love Fraiser as well. We watch a handful of episodes every week. It’s one of the smartest shows I’ve ever seen. Brilliantly written and acted.

    Stephen Hawking passed away at 76.

    Hearing the news, I couldn't help but think about the gorgeous music written for his biography by Johan Johannson... another late genius.
    Bach's music is heartless and robotic.

    Have you never seen GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES (1988), Tom? One of the most iconic animé films. A masterpiece. Check it out if you can. He also frequently worked with Hayao Miyazaki.

    ONLY YESTERDAY is brilliant too. The recent THE TALE OF PRINCESS KAGYUA, I wasn't THAT impressed with, overall, but still a damn fine movie.
    I am extremely serious.

    Eric Bristow! Goodness me.


    I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of years ago when somebody had 'rented' him out to play darts for the night at a birthday party we were hosting at my old bar.

    I'm not familiar with too much of his work, but what I know is superb.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    Yeah, great loss. I've seen most of his US movies, but I've always wanted to explore his earlier, Czech work. Now's a good an opportunity as any.

    Yes, it's a real shame. He's one of the few Nordic composers I never got to meet, for various reasons, but I've always enjoyed his work. One of the great ones of his generation, for sure.

    Have to admit -- had to google that name. Not familiar with any of his work either. But I see that he was quite a figure in American literature.

  24. Oh, I was quite familiar with his name. But I'm afraid, "The Plot Against America" is the only novel of his I ever read. While it's not bad, it doesn't seem to be one of his quintessential works. Maybe James or Aidabaida could provide us with reading suggestions?

    I guess Portnoy’s Complaint is the quintessential Roth. American Pastoral is the one I would grab first if the house was burning down.

    yeah he was thought of as one of those few "serious" authors that still maintained a degree of popularity. his novel, "The Ghost Writer" is short and fascinating, if you're interested.
