And remember if that doesn't work out, all you need to do is pretend to be kidnapped and then show up back home...whole new career opportunity!

Top Agent Offers $500,000 for Story Rights; NBC Gets Interview 15522. webfeet - 6/16/2005 9:54:45 PM Mags-- wait a minute. La Fleur du mal, Chabrol? BCBG cousins who have the hots for each other, incest, murderous auntie/killer in a summerhouse/political disgrace all on a bordeaux beach.
Am I right?
The whole thing is this slurr or images. it wasn't half bad but it wasn't half good either. which means the rest was, just watchable. 15523. Magoseph - 6/17/2005 9:27:30 AM Yes, that is the one, Web--my brother insisted that I see it because he wanted me to find out which personages were most like some uncles and aunts in our mother’s family. To me now, this movie is a black satire with excellent actors—not a movie I care to ever see again because it brought back to me some unpleasant memories. It was a chock to realize that my father’s family, long vilified by my mother’s family, had been in fact the best one of the twos. 15524. alistairconnor - 6/17/2005 10:34:00 AM hmm I confess I haven't seen it. I'm surprised how few of Chabrol's films I've seen. I should start renting DVDs... but I would need a time machine to be able to watch them... or learn to give up sleeping perhaps. 15525. Magoseph - 6/17/2005 11:59:32 AM ... but I would need a time machine to be able to watch them... or learn to give up sleeping perhaps.
I would too need one—now I just wait until they are on TV and then tape them with the DVR and see them whenever I need to be entertained. There’s so much information I want to read while I’m on-line, I have no time during the way for watching TV, except for the news, of course—just in case I’m about to disintegrate with the rest of us, I want to know it’s happening. 15526. judithathome - 6/17/2005 4:22:28 PM I've seen Violette and a few others...I'll never forget the ad at the Art Theatre for Violette...a FILM by Claude Chabrol!
I even bought a hat with a slouch brim like Violette wore in the fim and I used to intone...a HAT, by Claude Charol!...when I'd put it on. 15527. Magoseph - 6/17/2005 4:45:27 PM Hi, Judith--any news from your doctor yet? 15528. Ms. No - 6/17/2005 5:06:27 PM Oh, Jude, you crack me up! And, yes, what does the doc have to say? 15529. Ms. No - 6/17/2005 5:07:28 PM I've never seen any of Chabrol's films, but I notice there are a lot of them available through Netflix and several of them look quite interesting.
What are the top recommendations? 15530. judithathome - 6/17/2005 5:21:58 PM I think they're all good. I like his work.
The doc hasn't callled. 15531. Ms. No - 6/17/2005 6:37:00 PM Well, that sounds as if it isn't horrid unless he's the kind of doc who just doesn't care. Still, if he knows enough not to call you then he should call you and let you know. You've already been off your feet for nearly a week, now you've got the whole weekend to get through before he's back in the office. That's not very conscientious of him. 15532. wonkers2 - 6/17/2005 8:20:25 PM My experience has been that the doctors with good reputations take more patients than they can handle thoroughly. And they are poor communicators. 15533. judithathome - 6/17/2005 8:26:14 PM My doctor is very conscientious; he called me the day of the test to see how I was doing and he said as soon as he gets the results, he will call. He hasn't called because he hasnt received the radiology report...there were about 50 people in that place the day I was there and I'm sure that many more each day since.
I'm not blaming the doctor. I know he would ahve called had he anything to report to me.
It IS maddening, though. 15534. judithathome - 6/17/2005 8:30:39 PM I was told to wait while the radiologist "looked it over" and I feel is something had been really amiss, the tech or the radiologist would have noticed something and rushed it through. The fact it's taken this long with no report makes me think it wasn't a clot. 15535. arkymalarky - 6/17/2005 8:37:20 PM A radiologist told my mother that's how they generally do, but where we live it's slow enough we usually find out what we need to know that day or the next. However, I have waited up to two weeks to find out I had an abnormal mammogram. Turns out the radiologist was almost certain it was a cyst, which I guess is why they didn't rush it.
When I had an ultrasound to confirm the fibroids in my uterus, the radiologist came in and looked at it and asked if I was having a hysterectomy. I'd already had one ultrasound in the doctor's office and knew that's what the plan was.
Anyway, I hope you get a report soon. It would be nice if it came before the weekend. 15536. arkymalarky - 6/17/2005 8:39:18 PM Another thing I like about where I go is that when you get the follow-up on an abnormal mammogram the radiologists tell you right then if it's a cyst. 15537. wonkers2 - 6/17/2005 9:08:13 PM I've appeared for a 3pm appointment with my interist and not gotten in til 5:30 pm. But he's good and worth waiting for. But I do wonder how much time he spends refreshing himself on my file, tests, etc. 15538. judithathome - 6/17/2005 11:26:07 PM The doctor just called and said the test showed nothing wrong. I have to go in next week and set up a bone density test...he thinks the pain might be from something to do with my broken leg. 15539. webfeet - 6/17/2005 11:54:47 PM Glad to hear it. 15540. webfeet - 6/18/2005 12:04:24 AM Mags
I forgot all the skeletons that fell out of that closet but the ending with the murder of the adulterous father seemed dull in comparison to the foreshadowing. I was expecting something more--I don't know what exactly, but not the Clue style ending with the body in the library.
Did either you or Alistair see "Merci Pour Le Chocolat?"
You can't take your eyes off Isabelle Huppert in that one.
She has the homicidal blonde thing down to a tee.
