Movie and TV News! ok, not really

OK....I have to admit I thought "The Woman in Black" was just another version of "The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins. I'd never even HEARD of TWiB until the movie came out. Guess I should read it?

Also, for all you Downton Abbey Fans out there, I've heard that Shirley MacLaine is going to play Lady Granthams Mother in Season 3. I'm looking forward to her and Maggie Smith going head-to-head.

I always read Downton Abbey as Downtown Abbey---I get the feeling I need to get around to checking it out---everybody seems to love it?

When you're alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go downtown...

It's very well done, if you like early KGV period-pieces. I enjoy it quite a bit, the season I've watched, anyway.
