THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

i really think u should pick the play the actors will do the most justice too.

Jrand - You should get Debra Messing to be your Guest Artist and do FOOTLUCY - a preacher finds Lucy and Ethel revolting and bans their reruns from the town

For DR FJL or any other DR with thoughts:

My friend Marsha is 60 years old and will be retiring in January. She has some money to invest, and I suggested Mutual Funds. She would like some income, but that is not her initial concern.

How would she invest in a Mutual Fund? Couldn't her bank help her. And what is the best one..... I have been with Kinetics Family for a few years....but it's done through the family Corporation so I don't know how to do it as an individual....

I can help, JRand. But I'm just a wee bit busy right now. Can we wait a couple days and discuss this off-board?

Is "Pink Fish" from something?

I found it in THE ALAN MENKEN SONGBOOK.

As you all know, I am currently addicted to mac and cheese.

I am a fan of mac and cheese also

I don't remember this picture.

Interesting....

I remember that picture very well.

I keep forgetting that there are several songs in Menken's KING DAVID which I also like very much - "Never Again" for example.

And yes, photos galore were taken, but I have to wait until they put them on a big DVD.

DWS SPOILER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was sorry to hear about Marie's dad. My guess is she was in the bottom two, but they wanted to announce she was safe so she would know right away (unless they already told her). It's the only thing that makes sense for the way they revealed who was going home.

Finished Murder At Hollywood High and posted a review at Amazon

It may have been asked and answered, but any chance of recording of last nights special event???

Cillaliz · « **Reply #287 on:** November 06, 2007, 08:13:23 PM »

I voted today and both of my candidates won. I am very pleased about that.

Der Brucer...and any other pols out there. This is a fun article about Iowa and the candidates http://www.newsweek.com/id/67930 It's from Newsweek. The first paragraph is priceless and so true

Quote

Iowans are nice, maybe too nice. Late last month, NEWSWEEK political blogger Andrew Romano followed Democratic candidate John Edwards into the Depot restaurant in Shenandoah, Iowa (home of the Everly Brothers), and saw a woman wearing an Edwards button. Are you a supporter? the reporter inquired. "That's just today," she responded. "Joe Biden was here earlier this week and I was wearing his buttons." So, Romano asked, it's between Biden and Edwards for you? "No, no, no," she said, shaking her head at the re-porter's innocence. "This is Iowa. I've even worn a Romney sticker."

I have to laugh, I've worn an Obama sticker at an Obama event, an Edwards sticker at an Edwards event a Richardson sticker at a Richardson event and a Biden button at a Biden event... It really doesn't mean a thing

I despised all of those MAN FROM UNCLE compilation films. They were SUCH cheats! Advertised as if they were UNCLE movies, we unknowingly paid good money to see one only to find out we had seen them already on TV, episodes strung together as if they were films (and badly done at that). And WEIRD slow-mo every time a credit came on-screen.

I saw those being shown on TCM today and just gritted my teeth remembering how outraged we were at the time.

I'm listening to the recording of Anna Karenina with Melissa Errico as Anna. I went to the Internet Broadway Database for this show and I didn't realize that Gregg Edelman, who sings the role of Constantin Levin, actually played the part in the Broadway production! That's pretty cool! Also, Melissa was in that same production, but she played the role of Kitty (who is sung by Kerry Butler on this recording) and understudied Anna. The other people on this recording are Brian d'Arcy James (calling MBarnum!), Jeff McCarthy and Marc Kudisch. All are very good. And I'm actually enjoying this CD.

Is it a pop opera? Through-sung? Curious if I need to add it to my Christmas list.

I finished THE AVIATOR. It really does look very good, very detailed on Blu-ray. Is it better than CASINO ROYALE, THE LAST SAMURAI, or MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III in terms of picture quality? No, but it's very good.

Matt H. · « **Reply #292 on:** November 06, 2007, 08:35:37 PM »

Then I started on the special features. I got through about 2/3 of them. There are still probably three featurettes left, a couple of trailers, and the commentary left to deal with.

Next up - THE POLAR EXPRESS on Blu-ray.

BONES had another wonderful episode tonight. I just love the camaraderie present in this show between all of the regulars. And I guessed the murderer's identity incorrectly which is always fun. I love the surprise.

Matt H. · « **Reply #294 on:** November 06, 2007, 08:38:22 PM »

HOUSE had two cases, one good and one kind of irritating. And I wasn't at all surprised at the identity of the doctor let go this week.

Matt H. · « **Reply #295 on:** November 06, 2007, 08:39:21 PM »

NIP/TUCK kind of bored me this week. Seeing Bradley Cooper with his shirt and pants off was one of the few pleasures of the hour.

Matt H. · « **Reply #296 on:** November 06, 2007, 08:39:59 PM »

And I skimmed through AS THE WORLD TURNS, too. The gay characters were on, and they seem to be tomorrow as well.

I'm back and still reeling from the beautiful, moving, elegiac production of CYMBELINE at the Beaumont. It was a play I had never seen nor read and it's a phantasmagoria of fairy tale and mythology, other Shakepeare plays, and British history. Imogen runs away to the Forest of Arden - actually it's called Milford Haven - to find her destiny after losing her husband because of the lies of Iago - actually Iachimo - and like the story of Snow White, the guide leading her is supposed to kill her. Instead he sends her off with poison from the wicked queen - he thinks it's a panacea - to the forest where finds shelter with a kind old man and his two sons who are actually her brothers. Finding happiness she takes the poison thinking it will heal her and she dies, to live again in a conciliatory ending preceded a visit from family ghosts and Jupiter himself bearing an oracle. Everyone is forgiven but the wicked queen and her rapacious son. The ending was guiet and quite moving.

I loved the cast, especially Martha Plimpton and John Pankow, but Jonathan Cake and Michael Cerveris were equally wonderful, and everyone had great moments. The production by Mark Lamos was so fluid and clear I had no problem following the convolutions of the tale, and I loved the incidental music, especially the unintentional diet of "Hark, Hark, the Lark." Absolutely beautiful production.

I'll be curious to see what DR Ben thought.

I've some writing to do (if I can keep my eyes open), and then I'll be heading down for bed.

Good night!

We didn't record the show, but did videotape it for archival purposes. I wanted to record it, but just couldn't get it together in time.
