I love passion abd that
"debate" over Some Like It Hot
really thrills me !
Very quiet sunday here in

warm for the season...

Bonjour, François!
Quelle fromage have you munched upon aujourd'hui?
Lordy!
It's month 12 of 2002. I'm just barely used to writing "2002" and soon must start writing "2003". I remember with startling clarity how odd it was when we were writing "1990" and "1980" and "1970." All these years of my life just swooshing by.
I very much miss "1969" -- a remarkable year in my life...much drama and much accomplishment and much hope. I'm going to miss 2002, as well. Mostly because it's visit seemed so short.
Back to work domani. What a nice four-day do-nothing weekend this was! I'm looking forward to m trip back east on December 19. And I'm looking forward to being off until January 6.
You see, that's what happened to 2002. There was so much looking forward that I missed watching most of it pass.
My New Year's Resolution will be to watch each day of 2003 as it is happening and to not look too far forward...and maybe I'll find the blue bird of happiness flying over the rainbow in my own backyard!
Or maybe I'll just stay health and active and let the year proceed at its own pace.

I, too, have enjoyed the varying viewpoints on Some Like it Hot, but what I've enjoyed most is the respect with which those viewpoints have been put forth. If you frequent other groups you know how the fur can fly - this way is ever so much more fun, isn't it? I do enjoy taking on the bullies in certain ngs and I am quite hated for doing so (except by those in the know).
As for me, I find Some Like it Hot very funny indeed, certain parts of it never fail to make me laugh and I think it's basically a brilliantly constructed farce. I think The Major and the Minor makes me laugh more, but that's just me. I also think the inclusion of The Americanization of Emily on a comedy list is quite interesting. I love the film, but it doesn't make me laugh at all - in fact, I find it very melancholy. The Johnny Mandel theme song is one of my all-time favorites.
Posted by bk @ 12/01/2002 11:53 AM PST
Sorry about not previewing the longish post above....for instance, I know "its" is possessive of "it" and "it's" is a contraction for "it is."
And "m" isn't a word...it should have been "my" as in my trip back east.

Email problems. Moi!
Email arrived OK from Allan in the UK and local email is certainly all arriving. No changes here in the address. I know not what is going on.
Just in case. Hello Michael and Francois. Have you received any email from me?
Another pleasant day here. Summer.
I wonder if Magnus & Fosca have been emailing their friends and burying bones under the computer. Maybe you guys will have to forward mail through Allan. His sent and received mail is quite recent.

No bone about it!
Posted by François @ 12/01/2002 12:38 PM PST
I too love "Passion" Francois. No-one my dog is named Fosca. She doesn't like it hot. I saw "Sugar" some years ago and was very disappointed in what had become of "Some Like It Hot". It is still an all time great funny movie to me and we saw the best of MM too.
I would not be sorry if I had "abd"s as lovely as yours.
Off now for breakfast. (I tried writing that in French but my petite D looked very wrong).
Back alter (or possible later).

Your comment gave me a chessy grin indeed. I have just sent you an email Francois - hope it is working. The problem with my petit dejeuner was that I had changed its gender and it tastes soggy without the accent. What we need is puns of steel like those of BK. (mine are a little rusty).

I know this will cause all sorts of grief (not) but I shall be away from the computer and HHW for an hour or so. Maybe I will have an email to read when I return.

Let's hear it for the cheer here at haineshisway!
I know for a fact, thank you again for pointing it out BK, that expressing opinions such as Mark and I have over a film on any other message board would invariably wind up as a flame war. There's one going over at All That Chat because someone posted Miss Zsa Zsa Gabor's medical condition! Mais, chacun a son gout, as Francois might say. I love opinions! I love people who have opinions! BUT, I dislike people who believe that their OPINION is FACTUAL. 'nuf said.
So, since this is a free-for-all, and I know I'm not the only one who has watched HOUSEBOAT on dvd; has anyone else foud the connection between HOUSEBOAT and one of our fellow Hainsies?
Well, I must be going (Ah! an almost Groucho Marx reference) as I am singing in a church program this fine evening. Mister Farrow will undoubtedly be impressed to find out that I am singing a song from MARTIN GUERRE - the first edition. I am also playing for two young ladies whom I taught to sing "Some Children See Him." And since this is free for all day, are there more recordings out there of that song - I'm fond, very fond of Nancy LaMott's and I know that Diahann Carroll did it many moons ago, but not in a house of flowers where she never had seen snow.

Why is it so cold in December?
Posted by Jrand55 @ 12/01/2002 02:20 PM PST
Mark - the other two films are DEFENDING YOUR LIFE, well, the mere presence of Albert Brooks in anything produces the same effect that going on the air produced on his character in BROADCAST NEWS. I, personally, find him smarmy and vastly uncharming, BUT, I would probably find that seeing anyone else in his roles would not have the same effect, since I think he is a marvelous writer.
And, as big a fan I am of Tex Avery cartoons, somehow A FISH CALLED WANDA had yet to make me laugh out loud. On the other hand, I laughed a little during FIERCE CREATURES.
BK - when I saw THE AMERICANIZATION OF EMILY at a revival house in the mid-80s, there was a great deal of laughter. It is a very dark comedy, with shades of melancholia, but I'll put myself out on the proverbial limb here and say that EMILY made me laugh more, oh, indeed, much much more than DR. STRANGELOVE.
Posted by td @ 12/01/2002 02:29 PM PST
Current homework assignment: Read Paradise Lost and write a character analysis on Satan. Here's what I have so far: He's evil.
Any suggestions on how I can stretch that out to two pages?
Posted by Sandra @ 12/01/2002 02:46 PM PST
I had immediate second thoughts about including "The Americanization of Emily", which I love, but in truth, doesn't make me laugh out loud all that often. But when it was singled out as the one that most impressed the opposition, I figured the hell with it.
I was also a bit concerned that this was taking on the characteristics of a contest to determine who was the most well-endowed, with me as responsible if not more than anyone else for it. I figured there was more room here than most places, because, as advertised, it is the place for Unseemly Comments.
I'm very glad it has all been received in good spirit.

Posted by The count @ 12/01/2002 02:56 PM PST
Dear Reader Sandra. Perhaps a viewing of South Park - The movie, may give you insights into the character of Satan. If only the subect were Satin you would be more able to fabricate something. Even Satine would at least let you discuss the evil inherent in "Moulin Rouge".Reader Ron thinks I live in Paradise. I'll go outside in a few minutes and see if it is either lost or regained.
Shame on the satanic monster who gives you these subjects upon which to write. Kerry would no doubt make some allusion to Devil's Food Cake at this point in time. There is a story out there somewhere about an Atlantic Salmon called Rusty who is versed in things evil. That may be too obscure for your teacher.
New topic and new line.
I am a fan of animated films. (There's a Kid Inside). I caught up with the DVD of "The Road To El Dorado" last night. Memories of Ishtar. The voices of two great actors with no spark. I was not able to like the characters at all - not even the drawings. I so wanted to have Hope & Crosby back on screen - even in animated form. I get to watch "The Emperor's New Groove" later this week. I hope that it has more to offer. Perhaps I have been spoilt by "Monsters Inc" and "Toy Story I & II". Must check out "Ice Age" too.
"Houseboat". We need some water here first. Maybe all Hainsies "Do it with a Bing Bang Bong".
Posted by Tom from OZ @ 12/01/2002 03:04 PM PST
Dear td...it is so cold in December because December is the South Pole (Antarctic) of each year, just as January is the North Pole (Arctic) of each year.
The latter part of June and early part of July are, figuratively, a year's equator.
Down under, all that is reversed, sort of, mainly, cause, kinda like it's different there...counterclockwise so to speak.
I'm having a blond day, I guess.
Posted by Ron Pulliam @ 12/01/2002 03:24 PM PST
Dear reader Sandra - if you want suggestions on how to pad things out to interminable length, look no further than any of these here daily notes. You just repeat the same things over and over until they are sentences which turn into paragraphs which turn into pages. For example:
Satan is bad. Yes, you heard it here, dear teacher, Satan is bad. I know this because I saw Rosemary's Baby - not Rosemary Finkelstein's baby, but the motion picture entitled Rosemary's Baby, which is about Satan. From this motion picture entitled Rosemary's Baby I learned that Satan is bad and has a non-existant sense of humor. He just likes to have his night of fun, then he goes away while the woman has to endure a very bad pregnancy. Men. Furthermore, Satan is bad because it sounds like satin. Satin is good and Satan is bad, although I've never had satan sheets so I don't really speak from experience.
Well, you get the idea. Out of all the Albert Brooks films, Defending Your Life is the only one that I really enjoy watching (Lost in America being second).
Posted by bk @ 12/01/2002 03:31 PM PST
Ron--- Is it true blonds have more fun?
Regarding animated film, I don't care how great the animation is, it's the script and score that count. I vividly remember seeing scenes from "The Secret of NIMH" before it opened and thinking that at last someone other than Disney could make a great animated film, only to discover the stupidest and most boring story imaginable with the great animation. Conversely, "Gay Purree" had very cheap animation, but with Judy Garland and Robert Goulet singing new Arlen/Harburg songs and a cute story you didn't care.
Most of the recent Eisner animated films have such bad scripts and scores that they are unwatchable. Where is Walt when you need him?

To William E. Lurie:
I had the same reaction as you about Feinstein's at The Cinegrill. When I brought it up to someone in the know, he told me that Michael Feinstein will not be taking over The Cinegrill, he'll just be lending his name. However, when he appears, the prices probably will be as steep as they are in New York. At this juncture, the details are still being worked out, so we're taking a wait and see attitude. Many Cabaret West members have performed there in the past and we hope they will be able to do so again.
Two of my favorite animated films:
LADY AND THE TRAMP (the fight scene that's done in shadow is incredible plus Peggy Lee's contributions. Marvelous!)
FANTASIA 2000 (Did anyone see it? The Rhapsody in Blue piece was so delightful and uplifting. And the flying whales...my, oh my, what fun!)
Posted by Donna - Cabaret West @ 12/01/2002 04:53 PM PST
It is hard to go past "Lady & The Tramp" for charm. I loved it when it first was shown and love it now. I thought "Fantasia 2000" was much better than the press it received. There were moments of magic. I am also fond of "Allegro Non Troppo".
I of course would not go and hear Feinstein is the tickets were only one dollar. To each his own Dulcinea I guess. (Michael Ball please).
Posted by Tom from OZ @ 12/01/2002 05:43 PM PST
I'm glad someone else
(Donna) appreciated the "flying
whales" in Fantasia 2000.
I found the poetic liberty of that
scene quite moving, while
most of my American friends
find it ludicrous.
What I think is ludicrous is
those Disney animated
features they show in IMAX
format, which to me is an
aberration, mainly when the
animation was made without
that format in mind: bigger is
NOT better......
Ah, "Lady & the Tramp" !!! They
don't make them like that
anymore!! The spaghetti
scene!....
William; if Walt had not been
hooked on those damn French
cigarettes, he would have
stayed longer with us!
His daughter Diane
commented once that she and
her mother tried to have him
stop, but he was impossible to
be around then.......

Honestly, Tom, what is it that
makes you "hate" Mr
Feinstein?
He has one of the most
winning smile I've ever seen,
and he has so much respect,
appreciation, understanding of
lyrics writing and so much
enthousiasm for American
musical heritage...
Well, his singing is not that
great, but it's eager, honest,
genuine....etc, etc, etc.....
Your "hate" is a... puzzlement!

I don't really hate him Francois. Just don't like his singing style. He may indeed be charming and a great entertainer. Just not for me. To my ear he could be just one of 100 piano bar artists who tinkle the ivories whilst the patrons drink and chat. No emotion IMHO. No Life In His Art. (SS).
I have finished eating my quiche Francois. As distinct from my quiche Lorraine. Is this the last work night of the week for you?
Posted by Tom from OZ @ 12/01/2002 06:12 PM PST
I have another comment on animated films and I am wondering if people agree with me or disagree. I hate when famous, recognizable voices do cartoon voices. When I saw "The Rescuers" for example, all I could think of everytime the "leads" came on was Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor, not the characters themselves, and it has mostly gotten worse. Part of the charm of "Snow White" or "Cinderella" or other early film was that the voice seemed as much a part of the character as the drawing. The absolute low point was when James Earle Jones did his Darth Vader voice in "The Lion King". I kept expecting him to say "Use the Force, Simba."
Posted by William E. Lurie @ 12/01/2002 06:18 PM PST
Sorry Miss Vickie. Are you on nobody's side? (a Chess reference). Let's get back to "Lady and The Tramp". How could you not fall in love after the Spaghetti scene.
A positive for Feinstein. He and Barbra Cook both ran "master classes" here to encourage local talent. David Campbell & Tim Draxyl have certainly benefited from the advice and support. Both artists F & C are prepared to help others on their way to international stardom. For what it's worth I don't like Midler's singing (and often acting) much either. Each to his own. At least I will support you with Barbra and Barbara.

I know you don't "hate" him;
that's why i used quotation

Oh, "roberts" in French slang
are "tits", for which thongs are

No emotion ???? You're
wrong, wrong, wrong !!!
I guess emotion is in the ear

i'll be back -- no moaning, s'il

Posted by François @ 12/01/2002 06:22 PM PST
Tend to agree William. Loved the song from "The Rescuers". I had not heard of Shelby Flint sice she was telling us about the angel on her shoulder. With "The Road To El Dorado" I did not even realise to whom the voices belonged - the duet had Randy Newman on the CD. I thought "Atlantis" was a great disappointment too. Great art but no soul.
Posted by Tom Guest (from OZ) @ 12/01/2002 06:23 PM PST
William,
I think you're right, and I'm also
prejudiced against Lion Kind
which I don't like at all; I know
i'm the exception and that the
film is one of the top-grossing
productions for Disney, but i
just can't take this one.
Hakuna Mattata is so pale
compared to Bear Necessities
which it parodies...
For "Treasure Planet" here, the
hero's voice is provided by the
son of Johnny Halliday, our
imiation of Elvis, who is 30,
while the character is in his
teens!!!!
But, ah, David Halliday is a
name !!!!!
Posted by François @ 12/01/2002 06:29 PM PST
Lion Kind?????
I was being kind to that lion....
Even when they were using
Phill Harris' talents, it was
REALLY for his talents, NOT
the name, which was not that
wellknown anymore in the
sixties...
Same with Cliff Edwards, who
was certainly not known in the
rest of the world......
Posted by François @ 12/01/2002 06:35 PM PST

Well, Dear Reader Sandra, about all I remember of Paradise Lost is
Him the Almighty hurled headlong,
With hideous ruin and combustion,
Down to bottomless perdition,
There to dwell in adamantine chains and penal fire.
Don't ask me how I remember that, but isn't it great? Just read it aloud like Orson Welles.
Posted by William F. Orr @ 12/01/2002 07:46 PM PST
Well, just got home from rehearsal. We had the Sitzprobe this afternoon - well, more like a Wandelprobe - and actually got through all the songs with singing - we skipped the Overture and the varied and sundried and sundried and varied underscoring sections. And then it was me back on piano for the run-thru tonight.
Whew!
And I just read all the posts today so far.
Whew!
I hope everyone had fun in the chat tonight, and I look forward to - FINALLY - joining you next Monday! *I've even put it on my Palm.
I hope Tom's e-mail problems have been fixed. And, Tom, I, too, like Michael Ball. *Although I remember him being nicknamed "Michael Butterball" during the run of PASSION in London.
As for "Return to Eldorado", all I can say is that I'm glad I saw it a bargain matinee.
Michael Feinstein - I, too, appreciate the love and devotion he has for the classic American songbook, and all the research he has done. But his voice is not one that lies easy on my ears either. I would actually like to hear him play some solo piano stuff - some of the noodling he does here and there is pretty inventive at times.
Whew!

Of course it is, Dear Reader Sandra.
Just use the words "pride" and "arrogance" and "presumption" a lot. I'm sure the Seven Deadly Sins figure in there somewhere.
I would suggest viewing Bedazzled (the original, of course, with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore) and Dogma, which is based on Anatole France's Revolt of the Angels to get some other takes on Satan and the War in Heaven.
Posted by William F. Orr @ 12/01/2002 08:41 PM PST
What a lovely chat it was tonite! For all who were unable to join us, you were duly missed. And you surely missed out on the (hee hee) sprinkles reference. It was just too too funny for words!

Dear Reader Sandra:
SPECIAL VOCABULARY ALLERT!
Make sure you use the word hubris a few times. Correct and judicious use of that word should increase your grade by one letter grade at least. It's only a five-bit word meaning "pride", but hey, five bits is five bits.
And although I don't know the show, some on this list should be able to tell you the relavence of The Good Old, Bad Old Days to Milton. One things for sure: Anthony Newley has a heck of a lot more yucks than Milton!
Oooh, oooh, oooh! Not to mention The Apple Tree! I mean Milton's Satan may be an archetype, but he doesn't have one good song!
