The Beginning of the End
'the closer' begins it's final season tonight. only six episodes to go. and then brenda lee johnson will say goodbye. i will miss her. the wonderful kyra sedgwick created one of tv's best characters. quirks and all. but i thank her for six great seasons in the major crimes unit. kyra and her alter-ego will be sorely missed.
but alas when the final episode finishes we will go right into 'major crimes' starring mary mcdonnell as the probably, possibly, quirkier captain sharon raydor and most of 'the closer' cast with additions. i want this to work. ms. mcdonnell's work and character on 'the closer' grew on me. i hope this 'sequel' succeeds.
Natalie Wood's Cause Of Death Changed From 'Accident' To 'Undetermined'
Actress Natalie Wood's cause of death, formerly ruled as accidental drowning, has been formally changed to "undetermined."
The 43-year-old was found drowned in 1981, after a night of yachting off the Californian coast with her husband, Robert Wagner, and actor Christopher Walken. The Los Angeles Coroner's office ruled her death as accidental. The coroner's report noted that a night of heavy drinking could have caused her to slip and fall, according to MSNBC.
In November 2011, however, the case was reopened after Dennis Davern, the yacht's captain, came forward with new information about the incident. Davern said he believes that Wagner was responsible for Wood's death.
According to Davern, Wagner and Wood had been involved in an intense argument earlier that night, CBS reports. When Wood went missing, Davern claims, Wagner asked him not to look for her.
As of January 2012, the investigation had still found no new evidence to indicate Wood's death was a murder.
Now, however, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is changing their tune. Some of the bruises found on Wood's body, detectives told TMZ, have been determined to be inconsistent with death by drowning.
The detectives noted that they still believe drowning to be the ultimate cause of Wood's death. However, the suspicious bruises were one factor that led the L.A. County Coroner to change the cause of death on Wood's death certificate from "accident" to "undetermined."*

this comes as know surprise to me. i have thought for years that mr wagner was complicent in natalie's death. every time this case reopens i pray justice will be done. maybe then the lovely ms wood will be able to rest in peace.

New BluRay Releases
i missed posting these two 7/3 releases. 'barbarella' is fun and 'under the tuscan sun' merely has a certain charm, mostly because of diane lane, but not much else.
both are available from amazon. just click on the banner on right sidebar
Josh's Juke Box: Donna Summer
i ignored ms summer's passing earlier this year because she turned on the gay community after WE made her a success. in retrospect however i can't deny the voice, the music or the presentation. so here we go with two of my favorite summer's songs.

'1776'
perhaps today is the day to catch up with '1776'. or see it for the first time. it was better on stage but the film is still grand.
