A LITTLE THIS-A AND A LITTLE THAT-A – WITH THE EMPHASIS ON THE LATTA!

It's too damned hot!
.
Today is the anniversary of the birth of Frederick Lowe. I am certainly glad he was born!

+ The May 31, 2008 edition of the Carnival of Financial Planning at The Skilled Investor’s PERSONAL FINANCE BLOG led me to a posting that may be helpful for those with college-age children (thankfully I am not one – no children of any age) - “Financial Aid Calculator: Using Fafsa4Caster.com to Estimate Your Federal Aid” by Ken Clark at ABOUT.COM: SAVING FOR COLLEGE.

+ The TV SQUAD blog is reporting that “Dark Shadows Comes to the Big Screen”. The word is that Johnny Depp will play Barnabas Collins, the role originated on the ABC soap of the early 70s by Jonathan Frid, and the film will be directed by Tim Burton.

+ The BROADWAY BLOG’s June 8th post reports that Cameron McIntosh is thinking about making a new film of the Broadway classic MY FAIR LADY, perhaps with Keira Knightley as Eliza Doolittle. As the post suggests it certainly does seem a “strange idea to remake one of the best film musicals of all time”. And, for my money, as with just about every other attempted remake of a classic film, a totally unnecessary and unwelcome move. You can’t improve on perfection!
