Besides, even if she says yes now, she's created bad buzz for herself (at least to me -- I'll be thinking "Boo to you, lady for causing our bk needless headaches")

My thoughts exactly. This show deserves better than all this waffling and lame excuses! I supposed the dog ate her music folio, too?

JRand, congrats on your opening night success, and on letting the stage hog know to keep out of your moment.

DR elmore - wishes for a better day today.

Yes, DR Ginny -- divas are every where!  :(

I certainly know diva editors who protect "their cut" like it was the holy grail. Yes, I like doing my cut first, but if there are changes, I make them and move on. Especially with something as disposable as promos/commercials. I just try find a way to give them what they want (so many times they don't know how to articulate what's bothering them and I have to decipher.) With enough digging, sometimes what they think was wrong wasn't the problem at all and then I can figure out how to solve it.

On a long form piece if I feel the producer/director is making a midguided judgement I will defend my decision---once. Then if they decide to go with their idea, I don't sulk and pout about it. (although in my head I'm saying "You are stupid, stupid, stupid!") It's disheartening to work with a director who makes decisions based on their own ego to the detriment of the film, but fortunately I don't have to work with that person more than once.  

I enjoy the occasions when I'm proved wrong, because then I feel like I've learned something!

And I have to say that I am blessed to work with lots of wonderful collaborators at this point in time and rarely have any drama in the editing room.

Boy, for a day off, I've sure been boxing up some orders, and have to ship them now.  THEN it will be a day off.

Re, the actress - I'm just venting here, and if it all works out I'll be very pleased, because she'll be good for the role and whatever name value she has will be good for the show.  And I honestly don't know how much of this is the agent's doing - knowing agents as I do, I'd probably lay two-thirds of the blame right there.  For example, if everything was finally agreed to yesterday, why can't we get a simple returned phone call acknowledging that fact - that's all we're waiting for - nothing to do with the actress at all, just a "yes, we're a go" from her agent.  As far as I know we STILL haven't had that call, but the casting guy is in session until six, and my general manager is in meetings until two (both NY time) - so, I'll be able to have a conversation with the GM after eleven my time and we'll see where we're at.  They both know that this isn't going into the weekend - that an offer will go out to the next gal this evening.  I'm sure they'll both TRY to convince me to be patient until Monday, but my patience with this agent is at an end.

And, I may switch my Freecell game over to Tournament Level - just because I can!

Tournament Level?  I've never heard of this.  I'll have to look at it when I get home.

Tonght, I'm going to see Camelot, put on by Kids At Play (the children's summer theater program of Jeff Kingsbury's Capital Playhouse).  In 1991, I was in a local community theater production and I really didn't know the show before I was in it.  I had a great time and met some people who are still very dear friends of mine to this day, but...it's the only show that I've performed in that I didn't really like after doing it. :P The show just didn't do anything for me, so we'll see how I feel about it now.

Good Afternoon!

Well, it's still raining, drizzling, etc., here in NYC.  -And I think I'm finally waking up too.  In any case... At least today's rain has kept the temps in the low 60s!  -Why don't you come up to NYC, DR MattH!  ;)

Of course i just called the courier and there was a mechanical problem and the plane did not go out. So said item that was guaranteed for today will not arrive.

I am really stressing since this was beyond urgent. :(

Well, I think it's ridiculous because it's been dragging on for four needless days now, and I honestly don't think her name will do anything for the show.  Do we have a Fred yet? Is all the remainder of the cast now in place?
