Well, dear readers, here we are on Friday (yes, Virginia, I’ve finally got the days of the week straight), the end of another week. I’m very much looking forward to this weekend which is, I suppose, better than looking backward to this weekend. Of course, I cannot sleep in tomorrow as the cleaning lady will be there bright and early to give me the Evil Eye. But Sunday I will be able to sleep in and that will be loverly. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too?
Today I invite you all to read our brand spanking new Unseemly Interview with the lovely Miss Penny Peyser. I think you will find it charming and fascinating, and there are lots of interesting revelations and tidbits about Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford, The In-Laws, The Frisco Kid, Crazy Like a Fox, Lanford Wilson, and being a survivor in Hollywood. Read it, and post about it.
Our very own Jason Graae will be performing at the Ford Amphitheatre on August 2 at 8:30 – the concert is called Movie Music Madness, and it should be lots of fun. I’ll be there, along with dear readers Laura and Sandra, and if you’re on the coast of West you should try to make it. Reservations are 323 461-3673. Be there or be round.
Last night I tried, oh, yes, I tried. What did I try you might ask and I might tell you because why should I keep such information from you? I tried to watch a DVD, oh, yes, I tried to watch a DVD and yet I could not watch a DVD because I simply wasn’t in the mood. I was trying to watch a DVD entitled Night Flight to Moscow, one of those multi-nation thrillers originally entitled The Serpent, starring Yul Brynner, Henry Fonda, Virna Lisi, Phillipe Noiret and a host of others. It’s a decent seventies political thriller but I just couldn’t get with it and so I finally turned it off and did a little clean-up work on Kritzer 3.
Editing got a little intense yesterday, in that I saw a really rough version of what had been cut, and I gave lots and lots of notes on fixes I wanted. Today I shall sit all day with the editor, smoothing things out, so we can send a cut off to the head of the company for his notes – this first show needs to be on its way to the network for notes by mid-next week.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because we can.
Have I mentioned that our new Unseemly Interview with Miss Penny Peyser is up for your mental delectation? Have I mentioned that you should be listening to Donald’s “Best of” radio shows – the second of this week’s replays should be up and running by now. Have I mentioned that our Unseemly Live Chat will be Sunday at six o’clock Pacific Mean Daylight Savings Time? Have I mentioned that I am wearing Nike shorts and a Benjamin Kritzer t-shirt? Do you all have your Benjamin Kritzer and Kritzerland t-shirts? If not, why not?
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must sit in an editing bay all the livelong day, and then I must come home and rest and write, not necessarily in that order. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Friday – what is currently in your CD and DVD/video player? I’ll start – DVD, The Serpent, and The Chaplin Collection. CD, the delicious film score to The Light at the Edge of the World by Piero Piccioni, and also the Heindorf-conducted The James Dean Album just reissued by Sony. Your turn, and let us have no lulls today – I will need respite from editing, and so I must have lots of your excellent posts to read.
