That upcoming TV show THE STARLET sounds so desperate that it's depressing. I know I won't be watching.

Mentioning Samantha Eggar reminded me of DOCTOR DOOLITTLE, a movie I'd like to pull off the shelf and watch again.

I jorneyed to the underworld(our downstairs poop-palace) to share my morning tea with the outcasts.

I jury-rigged a TV with a VCR enclosed so I was able to watch the tape I made last evening.

May I present the puppies reaction to "Joan of Arcadia":

Baxter: What - no Animal Planet!

Benedick hides from Human's Kissing!

They attentively listen to Luke's dissertation on String Theorey

Hitting a right note
New cantor energizes temple with music.
By Greg Mellen
Staff writer

Thursday, March 03, 2005 - LONG BEACH — When Rabbi Ilana Grinblat was searching for a new cantor at Temple Beth Shalom, she was determined to find someone who would rock the house.

In picking Roni Kripper, a young Uruguayan son of a rabbi, she was thinking not only about modernizing services and appealing to younger members of the temple, but getting back to some sense of celebration that marked Jewish services in ancient times.

The outcome has been Shul House Rock, a band that performs at Friday night Shabbat services once a month at the temple, 3635 Elm Ave.
...
With 10 to 12 band members generally showing up, plus occasional special guests, the group usually fills the bimah, or pulpit area, of the sanctuary where it plays. And the sound, often accompanied by percussion from shakers and tambourines supplied to audience members, fills the room.

Front and center, there's Dr. Joel Kizner, an obstetrician, on banjo and guitar. He is famous for leaving a service once to deliver a baby and returning in time to finish the set.
...

The band has brought back the beat, and a little backbeat, to the Shabbat.

"We have a blend of music styles," said Kripper, who plays piano, guitar and percussion.

In any performance, it's not uncommon to have blends of klezmer, which Kripper describes as a kind of Jewish jazz, bossa nova, tango, country and other forms of music. The band has drummers, piano, banjo, mandolin, flute, cello, bass and several guitars. And most performances have some sort of theme.

In February, for example, the group had a Valentine's theme and a couple of love songs added to the service.

"The main idea is to create a service where everyone could feel they participate," Kripper said.

Although the band's name is a play on words, Kripper said, the music is serious and comes straight from liturgy, meaning it's a good bet you won't be hearing Shul House burst out with "My Shaloma' anytime soon.

"This is not a concert," Kripper said of the services, which conform to traditional format with the music and beat as an overlay.

"I've been to other services where people are just listening," Kripper said. "For us, if people are not singing, it's not working. If it sounds good, and people are singing and dancing, that's a good service."

Although using instruments to complement the chanting and singing of the cantor is a popular trend, homegrown bands such as Shul House Rock are a rarity. Rarer still in a conservative synagogue such as Temple Beth Shalom. In Hollywood, the reform Temple Israel has a similar all-congregant band, but most temples hire bands to perform at special functions.

... it took Kripper to bring it all together.
"He really took it and ran with it," Grinblat said. "I think it's really energized the whole community just with the level of joy, excitement and energy."

And it has spread.

"Every service we have new people coming," Kripper said. "We're attracting people who are not members of the temple. Every week there are new faces."

...
Although bringing in Kripper and his merry band may have seemed radical, it actually has old roots.

In ancient times, spontaneous instrumental music, accompanied by singing and dancing, was an integral part of important occasions for the Jews according to the Talmud and Bible. When the Kingdom of Israel was created, music and instrumental accompaniment became highly developed in the temple.

However, around the year 70, after the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem by the Romans, the music was silenced as an act of mourning, although many of the chants survived.

Grinblat said there is a feeling that 2000 years of mourning is enough. And while the religion still has plenty of symbols that keep that sensibility alive, she sees Shul House Rock as an important part of bringing back joy to the temple and invigorating the youth.

"One goal is to attract younger people," Kripper said. "That's always a challenge, not just for Jews but all religions."

But there has been a surprising twist.
"We feared how the older people would react, but they love it," Kripper said. "They feel like we're using Jewish tradition, and they feel like the temple is coming alive."

So, if anyone sees Jay on the Blue Line, tambourine in hand, we know where he's heading.

It still wouldn't interest me. In fact, it would make it even MORE of a turn off.

To her credit, we saw Miss Faye Dunaway do MASTER CLASS several years ago. And even though she made us wait 45 minutes....she was stunning in the role....and she won me over immediately. The audience began by being hostile....but by the end, they were on their feet.

Anna Nicole Simth pulls a 'Janet'
By Press-Telegram wire services

Just because we can never get enough of Anna Nicole Smith making a total fool of herself: The lovably subnormal former Playboy Playmate and reality show star did a Janet Jackson when she appeared as a presenter Thursday for the inaugural "Australian MTV Music Awards' in Sydney.

The puerile stunt, a parody of Jackson's Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction' of 2004, involved Smith pulling down her dress to reveal both her breasts, each of which sported the MTV logo. We just hope MTV wasn't crass enough to pay her to use her over-ample chest as a billboard.

Shucks, we'll even send you the editor that can't spell "Smith"!

Hoping they'll trade their Nicole for ours.

# 1 favorite giant monster flick is EARTH VS THE SPIDER (1958) starring Miss June Kenney...followed by KING KONG ESCAPES, WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS, and the early GODZILLA FILMS.

As a kid I was fascinated by giant monster films! So pretty much I loved them all.

Well I just got disappointing news. I cannot get Voom Satelitte service. My house is positioned the wrong way! What a major bummer. My only option is Adelphia and they don't have enough channels for my taste. I will have to wait until they have more channels or I move.

Simply reposition the house. What IS the problem? But, personally, I wouldn't have anything called VOOM near my house.

FRIJOLES!

Ah, you're a channel taster - it all comes clear. They're having a channel tasting event in Napa next month.

Just finished watching the last of four episodes of the tv series LOCK UP. What a good show! Did any DRs watch this program...it was on from 1959 to 1961 and starred McDonald Carey and John Doucette. I hope Alpha releases more episodes on DVD!

Faye Dunaway was on Ellen yesterday and didn't look too weird (relatively speaking). There's a long article about her and the show in this morning's Oregonian. One LOL moment: she talks about not wanting to be called a "starlet" because that connotes someone who isn't willing to put in the "intense work it takes to win an Oscar." Thanks for that, Faye.

Can some of you in-the-know film people tell me something: are Caleb and Chloe Deschanel father and daughter? And is Jack Nicholson related to AIP's James Nicholson? Just wondering....

bk · « **Reply #55 on:** March 05, 2005, 09:29:41 AM »

I believe it's yes to the former and definitely no to the latter.

bk · « **Reply #56 on:** March 05, 2005, 09:29:57 AM »

And yes to FRIJOLES!

JMK · « **Reply #57 on:** March 05, 2005, 09:29:59 AM »

Did anyone else gasp in horror at the news of that horrible chimp attack yesterday (no joke). The evening news mentioned the part about the poor man's face being chewed off (bad enough), but they didn't mention the even more horrific things that happened to him, which I read in this morning's paper. I sense a very major lawsuit coming on, followed by one of the Law & Orders with the disclaimer saying it's "fictional," which of course means it's based on a high profile case.

MBarnum · « **Reply #58 on:** March 05, 2005, 09:30:07 AM »

BK, letter is on the way!

I think it rained a bit last night, but the sky appears to be clearing this morning and one can actually see lots of blue.
