He only wrote it, directed it, and starred in it.

Larry - I tried just listening and watching without the titles, and i found that impossible to deal with

- others who knew the opera well didn't have to refer to the titles at all, it seemed, though. But I just found the experience - while at many times magical artistically - physically uncomfortable, and I got what I wanted out of it, which was to see and hear Florez live (which was exciting) and to get a sense of the artistic team's non-PIAZZA work (which fascinated me),

FJL · « **Reply #426 on:** March 22, 2007, 01:59:47 PM »

Sorry of course that I got bad info, because I didn't know there was a great second act aria for Florez. I might have stood in the back of the section killing time until that happened had I known.

Ah, that's right the Mr. Florez performs the "optional" aria. I think Rockwell Blake would also perform it too at the The Met in the previous production. -I saw him opposite Kathleen Battle.

Guilty. And wrote the songs. But not the score, which is by David Spear. The nice thing about this release is that I really go into detail about the history of the project and how it got butchered. Later this year, Kritzerland will be releasing for the first time ever, the original director's cut of the film, along with the butchered version done by the producers, both in the original aspect ratio.

Good Afternoon!

Back from lunch: I got a #5 from brgr, accompanied with a serving of their Onion Hay. Quite tasty, if a bit overpriced. However, the warm(!) chocolate chip cookies for dessert... -I should have just had cookies for lunch.

And once I got back here, I was asked to review some music with Ms. Kitt. We reviewed, and then we chatted. A lot.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #432 on:** March 22, 2007, 02:12:21 PM »

Oh, and a #5 at brgr is a 1/3 pound burger topped with bacon, cheddar cheese, horseradish cream, onions, lettuce and tomato.

I'm happy to announce that The Creature Wasn't Nice original soundtrack recording is now up for preorder. It's a limited edition of 973 copies, so don't delay.

http://buysoundtrax.stores.yahoo.net/creatwasnico.html

It's ordered, but I don't like the fact that I cannot go directly to Paypal with a total from them.

BTW, Dear Friend BK, thanks for The Brains today! I can't wait to promote the show. Richard Norton just sent me an email about how much he enjoyed it.

Dog Adopts Squirrel

Quote

Here's another dose of "awwwww" for you -- this doggie mama adopted a baby squirrel and is now taking care of it -- and nursing it -- just as lovingly and protectively as she does with her other pups. The tiny helpless rodent is adorable, clinging to its new mommy's back. Looks like love is blind after all -- maternal love, at least.

Ms Battle! There's a loony and a handful, who needs the world to sign confindentialy agreements: too many stories from too many who want her dead. I really hate the spurious soprano alternates in Rosina's role; Rossini wrote a lovely line for a mezzo, and the late 19th Century revisions drive me mad, even though my first complete BARBER recording was the great 1950s Metropolitan Opera recording with the wonderful Roberta Peters and Robert Merrill.

And the truly scary part is that most, if not all, of those stories are true. -And I've personally witnessed at least two of them. And one of them involved the police. $:-\$

Since I am an experienced hypnotist, I'll venture an answer:

A hypnotic trance must be maintained by the hypnotist's voice (or the subject will fall into a natural sleep). A post-hypnotic patient acting under post-hypnotic suggestion can only be re-programmed by inducing another hypnotic state (not necessarily by the same hypnotist) - that is why hypnotic-induced non-smoking routines regularly work.
