What could be behind the rescue of this elderly yuletide turkey from the shelf, asks Catherine Shoard? Is it too Scroogeish to suggest that had Patrick Swayze still been with us this elderly yuletide turkey (filmed in 2007) might have stayed on the shelf? Certainly the note of morbidity lends faint interest to a film that's like spending an hour and a half inside an Argos catalogue. Swayze plays Wayne,...

Oww. That hurt a little bit. Two days out of commission, including about eight hours where my head felt like a cinder block, and four where I didn't even want to think about food for fear of making like Linda Blair. "Yerrr mother sucks c----Wuuugh, urrghhh--chunk-chunk-chunk!" Wasn't swine flu, methinks. But then again, I got my degree in veterinary medicine, so your human science is strange...

Here are a few pictures of the ever-popular Linda Blair that I ran across on the Net recently that I had never seen before.

To find out what Linda Blair's up to these days, don't forget to click on the link...

Lord Britten would surely have forgiven Sir Charles all his past innuendoes and applauded his magnificent return to the fold if he could have seen the nearly-84-year old tearing into his most concentrated masterpiece, The Turn of the Screw , in the Coliseum revival of David McVicar's English National/Mariinsky Opera production. It prompted me to look back at what Mackerras had to say about his chequered...

One of the great seasonal turning points of the year is marked by the reintroduction of soup to the Mahons' diet in the Fall. The end of salad days welcome to those of us who view meals based upon raw leaves and roots as better suited for the frolicking fur fornicators of Watership Down. I trust soup people, salad people give me pause. People may talk constantly of nice salads, but that is nothing...

I realized yesterday that, with Halloween coming, I had written a post entitled "Evil". I decided, more out of a sense of fun than anything else, to do some other similarly themes kinds of things until this Saturday. I am old enough to remember when The Exorcist was scary. To be honest, the first time I saw it, some (although not all) of the scenes really scared the shit out of me. The sounds...
