Too bad “Spellbound” was such a crude parody of psychoanalysis. Good movie otherwise.
The Tiffany shade looks like Toulouse Lautrec’s circus painting.

“To all the girls that think you’re fat because you’re not a size zero, you’re the beautiful one, its society who’s ugly.”
Truer words ever spoken.
Robert you have quite an eye for color and angles. Did you pick a lot of this up while screen writing over the years?
I would think that in addition to the auditory portion of the movie, i.e. the screenplay, if the visual doesn’t complement that none of it’s good.
But hey I’m in amateur 🙂
I didn’t know Captain Thomas Smith was an ancestor of Henny Youngman.
LOL!
Interesting problem with the photos sometimes. Mostly they appear, but sometimes — even after refreshing the page — one or two don’t show. Sometimes ones that showed don’t show after the page refresh. For instance, this time the Irene Dunne photo didn’t show, but click the link and the page with the photo alone shows up just fine. Something about the page links isn’t happy.

You might try using a different browser. See if that makes a difference.
Hi. Just doing a quick look and noticed that the inability to like or dislike is browser specific. Specifically I can not use that feature with Safari. Unfortunately there are so many browsers and subversions in the wild that I can not address each individual request. This is a third party plugin called Comment Rating. I will check for any specific errors in the underlying theme and perhaps we can solve it!
I’ve a bit of difficulty, as well. I can post comments, but am unable to register a “Like” or “Dislike.” First time I’ve encountered this.
I have the same situation as GetThereJustAsSoon – can comment, but can’t like/dislike. I wonder if there’s some WordPress plugin on the server that need updating.
alterbentzion,
I’ve also noticed that email notifications about comments and posts have stopped, at least in my case. There was a WordPress update available. However, I have some problems navigating with it and don’t know whether it has been applied to this site.
Meanwhile, I’ll just add that I “Like” and enjoy just about all the comments posted here.
Another excellent edition, Robert, but I have to ask about the Marriage Ring… I must be missing something in the context. ???
Prophet Joe:
As far as I know, no one ever actually wears this style of wedding ring. It is a gift that symbolizes the centrality of home. The artistic wedding ring is usually left on display in the home.
We generally don’t use ornate wedding rings, because it’s hard to quickly eyeball them and guess their worth. (On a technical level, the groom is paying the bride for her hand in marriage.)
Imagine having that ring on your finger during a marital dispute!
