On the set of “Monkees In A Ghost Town" and "Monkee vs. Machine"; and a screenshot from "Monkees Mind Their Manor" (the episode directed by Peter).
“Dear Peter,
I have been a fan of the show and your music since the original airings. I recently got both box sets of the series (from Australia) and have to say they are as funny now as originally intended. I had forgotten how many Hollywood actors appeared with you all. Did you have a favorite?
Jim, NY”
“Dear Jim,
Well, no, not exactly. I must say the one I was most impressed to be playing with was Lon Chaney, Jr. He had the most impressive credentials, as far as I was concerned, particularly when you include his heritage; his father, Lon Chaney, Sr., was the great Man of a Thousand Faces. We don’t see his work too often anymore, since he worked in the silent era, but he was one of the greats of all time. Jr., in addition to the glory of having been on a Monkees episode, was the great star of Of Mice and Men.
You mentioned Reginald Gardiner, whom I cast in the episode I directed, ‘Monkees Mind Their Manor.’ [More about that episode here.] He, of course, was a delight to work with. We mustn’t forget Ann Marie, who worked with us twice! There were more, too, than I can safely name who became bigger stars after they played on The Monkees. But the guy who was the favorite on the set has to have been Stan Freberg. He was as wild on the set as he was on screen. I grew up practically venerating Stan Freberg as the master satirist. He did about five satires on the old Dragnet radio show alone! Some of his riffs became bywords on the set after he left, particularly a quick, dry ‘Don’t do that!’ at odd moments, which cracked us up.
You do bring up memories!
Thanks Peter” - Ask Peter Tork, The Daily Panic, 2009

From Scratch
youtube
I've been hearing this title a lot since it aired in Netflix. My brother and some friends recommended it; and so, I clicked on Play and watched the first episode to see what it was about. The first seconds of the episode the audience knows the ending, we can deduce what's coming and yet, we all move on the the next and the next until we reach the last episode and end it with wet cheeks and a sad smile.
From Scratch is an 8 episode series based on Tembi Locke's memoir called From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily and Finding Home. I haven't read the book but I don't need to in order to know that the series was faithful to the feelings, experiences and the life of these people. The series makes us part of this family and we, the audience, share in their laughter and pain.
It is an amazing journey, a story of self-discovery, family healing, love in all its manifestations. . . life. Lino's and Amy's love made way for family relations to improve. Lino's relationship with his father mends. Amy's parents interaction changes too and they pass from being terrible exes to parents who work together for their children. And this is just as beautiful to see as it is to watch the couple's love for each other. It is inspiring, how they were able to talk things through and always find a way so that both of them could be happy individuals and have a healthy marriage.
I come from a family unit that is really close. And raising my son has been a tribe thing, so I can understand what Idalia's birth mother wanted for her child and she got it. Idaliah was raised in a tribe, it wasn't just Lino and Amy, it was their parents, siblings and friends who all were there to raise her. That supportive unit also helped them in this journey. I also liked the relationship between Amy and her sister. As an older sister, I know how Zora feels about her little sister.
This is a story about love and it is worth watching.

J.S. Bach (1685-1750) BWV 82 - Cantata - Ich habe genug Aria - Schlummert ein, ihr matten Augen Peter Harvey (baritone) English Baroque Soloists, dir. John Eliot Gardiner
2000
Schlummert ein, ihr matten Augen, Fallet sanft und selig zu. Welt, ich bleibe nicht mehr hier, Hab’ ich doch kein Theil an dir, Das der Seele könnte taugen. Hier muss ich das Elend bauen, Aber dort, dort wird’ ich schauen Süssen Friede, stille Ruh’.
Fall asleep, you weary eyes, Close gently and blissfully. World, I remain here no longer, For I have no share in you That is of any use to my soul. Here I must cultivate misery, But there, there I shall behold Sweet peace, tranquil rest.

Today we begin our consecutive day-by-day rundown of our nominations of the greatest films made from 1979-present, beginning in 1979.
1. “Being There” (1979)
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Hal Ashby film “Being There” is that Chauncey Gardiner is 100% anonymous with no footprint of any kind in the world. That is more rare now than ever, to have privacy or anonymity. The elusiveness of Peter Seller’s character Chance is what gives him the dynamic edge that cuts through extraneous vetting procedures straight to a path to power with none growing the wiser. His vague statements come off as shavings from a true block of genius. The irony is that there is nothing there in his head other than that of what he gleaned from television.
An additional observation is that unless one breaks the spell, people will project onto a person what they wish to see that feeds into their own illusions.
Jerzy Kosiński was ahead of his time in many ways in his writing.

From Good Morning America, October 1981; interviewed by David Hartman.
George: “And… I decided to become a gardener, actually.” Q: “You really love it, don’t you?” George: “The garden?” Q: “The gardening, yeah.” George: “I — I do, yeah. I like the garden. It’s sort of, um… well, you know, like Chauncey Gardiner in the film with Peter Sellers, ‘Being There.’ It’s true, you know, you — in the garden, you see all the seasons come and go, and whatever you do can affect it all, but at the same time, the flowers don’t answer you back. (Laughs) Don’t give you no trouble.” - Good Morning America, October 1981

If anybody wanted to write a crossover between L.M. Montgomery's books, here is a little help with the ages of the characters (@no-where-near-hero maybe it will be a tiny help for your fanfic):
Anne Shirley - born on 5th of March 1865
Gilbert Blythe - born in 1862 or 1863
James Matthew "Jem" Blythe - born in July 1893
Walter Cuthbert Blythe - born in 1894
Anne "Nan" and Diana "Di" Blythe - born in 1896
Shirley Blythe - born in 1888*
Bertha Marilla "Rilla" Blythe - born in 1900*
Gerald "Jerry" Meredith - born 1894
Faith Meredith - born 1895
Una Meredith - born 1896
Thomas Carlyle "Carl" Meredith - born 1897
Jims Anderson - born in August of 1914
Emily Byrd Starr - born on 19th of May 1888
Ilse Burnley - born in 1888 (probably)
Perry Miller - born in 1887
Frederick "Teddy" Kent - 1887 or 1888
Dean Priest - born in 1865
Patricia "Pat" Gardiner - born in 1913
Rachel "Rue" Gardiner - born in 1919
Winnifred "Winnie" Gardiner - born in 1910
Sidney "Sid" Gardiner - born in 1912
Joseph"Joe" Gardiner - born in 1908
Hilary Gordon - born in 1911
Elizabeth "Bets" Wilcox - born in 1913
David Kirk - born around 1893
Jane Stuart - born in May 1918 or 1919
Valancy Stirling* - born 1883**
Barney Snaith - born 1877**
Cecilia "Cissy" - born 1886**
Olive Stirling - born 1884**
Gay Penhallow - born in 1904***
Nan Penhallow - born in 1904***
Roger Dark - born in 1890***
Donna Dark - born between 1894 and 1896***
Virginia Powell - born between 1894 and 1896***
Peter Penhallow - born between 1888 and 1890***
Margaret Penhallow - born 1872***
Brian Dark - born 1916***
Hugh Dark - born in 1887***
Joscelyn Penhallow: born between 1889-1892***
*In both Anne of Ingleside and Rainbow Valley Shirley is two years older than Rilla. But in Rilla of Ingleside, he turns eighteen few months before Rilla... it is pure chaos. Rilla was supposed to be nearly fourteen, according to the RV, in 1914, but she is nearly fifteen in RoI. So I apologize, but I had a lot of trouble here...
**The Blue Castle is the most difficult to place in time. It is set several years before it was published, and in my own opinion: before Tangled Web and Pat of Silver Bush. Why? Because of this reference: "This was before the day of bobs and was regarded as a wild, unheard-of proceeding—unless you had typhoid." (The Blue Castle). Bobs were already "in fashion" at the beginning of Pat of Silver Bush (so, in 1919, when Pat was six years old: it was said that Winnie wanted to have her hair bobbed) and in Tangled Web (which is set in 1922). Yet, the cars, motorboats and movie theaters were a rather common occurence in The Blue Castle's times. But... there might be an explanation. Valancy doesn't live on PEI, which might have been a little "behind" the rest of Canada, as far as modern technology went. It is my own personal opinion, but I think that it might be set just before the war, at the same time as the end Emily's Quest. I know that the clothes seem more "modern" in TBC, but Emily wore "a little sport suit" and dress that was described as followed "there was so little of it". Teddy and Perry both had cars, as sone of Ilse's cousins. I would say that the Blue Castle book might be set around 1912-1913. Still, the timeline is extremely elusive. Please, let me know, dear Blue Castle Book Club's members, what is your opinion? I think I have read some amazing discussion about TBC's timeline a long time ago, but if I remember correctly, everyone was certain that this novel was set post WWI (me included, until this very moment when I tried to place Pat and Tangled Web and remembered the "bob" quote). So I choose 1912 as the beginning of TBC, when Valancy was twenty-nine.
*** the ages of characters in Tangled Web:
"They were first cousins, who were born the same day and married the same day,--Donna to her own second cousin, Barry Dark, and Virginia to Edmond Powell--two weeks before they had left for Valcartier. Edmond Powell had died of pneumonia in the training camp, but Barry Dark had his crowded hour of glorious life somewhere in France." (Tangled Web).
"Virginia Powell, whose husband had been dead eight years and who was young and tolerably beautiful" (Tangled Web).
"Valcartier, Quebec was the primary training base for the First Canadian Contingent in 1914."
- from: https://www.warmuseum.ca/firstworldwar/history/going-to-war/canada-enters-the-war/training-at-valcartier/
So, from this I assumed that Virginia's husband died in 1914 (so Tangled Web is set in 1922-23). Gay is 18 at the beginning, so she would be born in 1904. If Donna and Virginia were 18-20 when they got married, they would be 26-28 (so still "young"). at the beginning. Peter was 14 when Donna was 8, so he'd be 32-34 at the beginning of the book (same age or a bit older than Roger). Hugh was 35 at the beginning. I guess Joscelyn was a bit younger- most of LMM's heroines are at least two years younger than their love interest. I'd say she might have been 20-23 when she got married, so she'd be around 30-33 at the beginning of the book. I would say Brian is about six years old - he doesn't seem to attend school yet, but is big enough to be sent to the harbour. Margaret Penhallow was about fifty at the beginning of the book.
So sorry that this post was rather long, but it was a great fun to write (even if it took me A LOT of time). Thank you for reading. Please, let me know if you agree. Any feedback will be very welcome!
