Well, dear readers, it is Monday, and a mere few days until Thanksgiving. I can only tell you that we are going to have a huge Thanksgiving bash right here at haineshisway.com and whilst we cannot eat turkey on the Internet we can certainly discuss turkeys on the Internet. Oh, what fun we shall have on that great come-and-get-it day – oh, a Harburg and Lane reference. I’ll have more details as we get nearer to Thursday.
Tonight is our Unseemly Live Chat – if you’ve already sent us your AIM name we have it, if not send it to me as soon as you can. If something goes wrong, just e-mail me at bruce@haineshisway.com at any time (even during the chat) and I’ll make certain you get there pronto. I’ve heard tell that we are going to have a very special guest join us, a wonderful person who is currently playing in a show on Broadway. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too? It’s always lovely to welcome a new member to the haineshisway.com family, isn’t it? Families are wonderful things, oh, yes, families are wonderful things. In any case, we shall have a marvelous time chatting away. The chat starts at seven-thirty sharp, Pacific Mean Time.
Meantime, I must hurry these notes along because the hour is waning, oh, yes, the hour is waning and soon I must leave my very own house. Last night I watched Roman Holiday which, you won’t believe it, I’d never seen. It took me a while to warm up to it, but by mid-point it was captivating and thoroughly charming. How wonderful Audrey Hepburn was. And Gregory Peck is delightful as well. I am a bit surprised that with remake fever in Hollywood at an all-time high, that no one has thought about doing this film – it’s a natural, shoot in Italy in gorgeous color – the biggest problem would be finding two stars with the charm and charisma of Hepburn and Peck.
What am I, Ebert and Roeper all of a sudden? Why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because that great come-and-get-it day is a comin’ and we mustn’t tarry or dally further. Tally ho, and click away.
Oh, I cannot wait until our live chat this evening. It has become a highlight of the week, hasn’t it? We’re quite mad, really, in our live chat room, and it’s quite wild and wooly and also wooly and wild, although always with dignity.
I did quite a bit of writing this weekend, I’m happy to report. I have no idea if it’s good, but I got it down on paper and I can finesse it at a later date. I do believe I’m in the home stretch of all three writing projects, which is very nice indeed.
Well, dear readers, I must take the great come-and-get-it day, I must do the things I do, I must get in my automobile and exeunt my garage and drive in traffic and then work all the live-long day and then hustle homeward to take part in our live chat. Today’s topic of discussion: Wrong casting again – we’re doing the haineshisway.com revival of On the Town. From the world of stage, film and television, please give us your most awful casting suggestions. I’ll be back later to check in, so post away and post often so I have lots of entertainment. As always, feel free to discuss whatever you like in addition to today’s topic. Post away, my pretties.
