I wondered when I logged on how we could have possibly gotten to page 14. Now I know.

A good thing groaning isn't permitted.

At least the pages go by quickly.

Matt H. · « **Reply #422 on:** July 29, 2007, 08:15:36 PM »

I did that one in less than 20 seconds.

Matt H. · « **Reply #423 on:** July 29, 2007, 08:16:20 PM »

Another twenty seconder.

Matt H. · « **Reply #424 on:** July 29, 2007, 08:16:58 PM »

That was less than 20. I'm getting better!

Thanks for the quick turnover.

I finished the first disc in the HOME IMPROVEMENT set. Each episode is about the same in quality. None any better of worse than the others, so I guess there is a consistency there.

Next, I put in THAT'S DANCING and watched it. Boy, those Eleanor Powell clips did not look in very good condition. If they're planning a box set of her 30s musicals (and I read that Warners was planning one), BROADWAY MELODY of 1936 and HONOLULU do not look presentable.

Also, in that section on Kelly and Astaire, I couldn't believe they chose "I Left My Hat in Haiti." It's a mediocre dance number at best not really offering Fred much of anything to dance. Why not one of the dances from YOLANDA AND THE THIEF or even the comic ballet "Open Your Eyes" with the rocking ship in ROYAL WEDDING? That would have been infinitely preferable to "Haiti."

Nice to see "Lullaby of Broadway" again. That's very impressive to see on the big screen.

I just got off the phone with DN Samantha. She is very excited about the trip and is planning to look at various websites for shows to make a decision... She's also going to come to this site.

BK she said OMG it would be totally cool to go back stage at The Brain From Planet X, so we're definitely on for that. She's also going to sign on here soon.

Thanks to the generosity of DR Jose and that of possibly DR FJL or Jay Binder, I saw the final performance of GYPSY this evening. My Lord, what an occasion! The final scene after "rose's Turn" was the best produced attempt I've ever seen, and I enjoyed myself immensely. I missed several of Mr Laurents' snips in his book, but it was wonderful to see something well-crafted and well-directed. Excellent cast, but with Jule Styne gone to protect himself, I feel the music was stretched out of tempo a bit much at times and I thought some tempi could have been more relaxed, particularly "You'll Never Get Away From Me."

At intermission, I saw my old friend John Bolger, still as handsome as he was when I met him over 20 years ago, and his wife. Jose mentioned the wonderful AIDS film PARTING GLANCES, in which he starred with Steve Buscemi, and he said it's gotten a beautiful restored print, which will be showing soon here in Manhattan. After the show we ran into Steve Sondheim who stopped in what was a clear rush to the bar at the party to shake my hand. He looked wonderful and I was happy to see him. I was hoping for a hug but Steve clearly wanted to get to the bar!

Thank you again, DR Jose!

I began watching disc 2 of the HOME IMPROVEMENT set. This included the obligatory Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes. Among the guest stars in episodes on this disc thus far have been Tom Poston, Tom Wopat, Rodney Dangerfield, and Polly Holliday.

But unlike WILL & GRACE, HOME IMPROVEMENT didn't make a point of including as many guest star turns as they could squeeze in. They managed to find lost of antics for the regulars to get involved in every week without resorting to star casting.

DR Elmore, sounds like a wonderful evening.

If we're not the last show on that evening's program, there is no backstage: the show has to be broken down in - what? - 45 minutes for the next show to load in. At least that's last year's case.

I ended the evening with tonight's ENTOURAGE. A sex competition between Turtle and Eric wasn't very entertaining, but Ari's desperation to find a school for his son held my interest, and Ari's climactic confrontation with the school's headmaster was the stuff for next year's Emmy submission.

Well....there are many contenders....but two titles tonight that really made me laugh:

QUEER of OUTER SPACE from DR SINGDAW

and

AINT YOUR WAGON from DR EDISAURUS

But all were certainly worthy of a chuckle or more!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #445 on:** July 29, 2007, 08:38:23 PM »

Exciting post from DR ELMORE....there are MANY shows that make me head for the bar, several of which I have appeared in.

I watch a motion picture, do an errand, and I'll be hornswoggled if we haven't had us a frenzy or five. And what a frenzy. Anyone who doubts that soon we will be the most popular site on all the Internet is a dad-blasted fool on a bun.
