Printer's working again. Apple Man said it had nothing to do with what we did yesterday - just a coincidence. He had me nuke the two other printers that were still in the printer list (my old ones) and this one, and then we turned the printer off and on and it just appeared in the list again and was working.

I've been traveling a lot lately: Athens, GA Friday fir the B-52's 34th anniversary concert, Blue Ridge to stay with my dad SAt. and back to Athens on Sunday to show our film at the Athens Jewish Film Festival. It was a SRO crowd, lots of friends form my college days, and fun to show my film at my alma mater. A reception followed: hot dogs, cracker jacks, bagels, rugelach...lowwed by He-brew beer. So much fun!

I'm going back for closing night---live klezmer music! Can't wait!

The B-52s gave one of the best concerts I've ever seen in my life. Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers opened. It was an outdoor concert on a summer evening and it was as a thrill.

Excellent funeral for a truly deserving man. Didn't know a lot about John Koch except the usual small talk you make at church and church events. Turns out he was a leading biochemist at one of the bases here, and he did a lot with helping soldiers with war wounds. After he retired, he sort of became a fixture at the police station, so there were some 50 officers in uniform (right down to the guns and night sticks) that processed in together. Felt even safer in that sanctuary today.

John would always stand out front greeting people before the earlier service, in good and bad weather. Pastor talked about that and had a few jokes about what they would talk about and how welcome John made people feel. Before the end of his message, though, he got very choked up and had to take a moment before finishing.

As promised, your early peek at the new Kritzerland release. You know the drill - it's 19.98 plus 3.75 shipping (23.73) paid via paypal to kritzerland at adelphia dot net. This is a really wonderful score, so read all about it.

Kritzerland is proud to present a new world premiere limited edition soundtrack:

AUDREY ROSE
Music Composed and Conducted by Michael Small

The problem was The Exorcist. In trying to sell the 1977 film Audrey Rose, the posters for the film made it look like it was going to be yet another ripoff of William Friedkin’s shocking and terrifying 1973 film. But the fact is, Audrey Rose has nothing whatsoever to do with The Exorcist. It is, in fact, about as far removed from that kind of visceral terror as you can get. Based on the 1975 novel by Frank De Felitta (who also wrote the screenplay), Audrey Rose is not about possession by a demon of any sort – it is about reincarnation. Director Robert Wise was certainly no stranger to making atmospheric films of this nature, starting at the beginning of his career when he worked with the master of understated terror, Val Lewton, directing The Curse of the Cat People and The Body Snatcher.   Years later, he would direct the brilliant horror film The Haunting, which was very much in the Lewton style.   Wise also had an uncanny ability to pick the perfect composers for his projects, and a major part of the film’s atmosphere is its musical score by the gifted Michael Small.

Born in 1939, Small began scoring films in the late 1960s, but it was his masterful score to the 1971 Alan Pakula film Klute that announced him as a unique voice in film scoring. From that point on, he was a familiar name, providing some of the best scores for some of the best films of the 1970s, including The Parallax View, The Stepford Wives, Night Moves, The Drowning Pool, Marathon Man, The Driver, Comes A Horseman, The China Syndrome – there was no mistaking a Michael Small score, you knew it was his instantly, the minute the music began playing. He went on to score many other films, such as Going In Style, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Rollover, The Star Chamber, Target, Dream Lover, Jaws: The Revenge, as well as working in television.

Small’s score for Audrey Rose is one of his best. It is filled with his unique music, emphasizing character and drama and never playing for cheap effects. It is at times haunting, at times lyrical, at times downright creepy and scary, but always in service of the story and the characters.   Right from the get-go, with his engaging and beautiful main title, right through to the film’s somewhat downbeat ending, Small’s music is simply and unerringly right.

The source material for Audrey Rose consisted of only two reels of tape in the MGM vaults. These mono tapes, made from the music stem (which means the volume shifts up and down repeatedly, as it does in the film), were in good shape for what they were.   While it is not always easy to master from an up and down source, our mastering engineer, James Nelson, working his usual magic, got it to sound as good as it probably can. The result is that we finally have one of Michael Small’s best scores on CD.

This release is limited to 1000 copies only. The price of the CD is $19.98, plus shipping.   Additionally, we are offering a special deal with the purchase of this release. Go to the item page and click on the link to find out about it.

CD will ship the first week of April – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early).   To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

One of the digital subchannels here recentl broadcasted this movie and it does have a great score

Thanks for the vibes.....yes DR GINNY - a crash course.

I was relieved at about 1:30 p.m. which was nice.

DR TCB - I think I mentioned the closing night curtain speech appearance of "the Mayor" which had the residual effect of killing on of my last jokes in the show.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Thank you for your nice comments. It was more in the nature of a performance than acting.....but it was fun.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. We had quite the "do" here last night, which I'll post about later, so we're still recovering!

So you had a President's Day Eve Party, too!

Happy Birthday!

This has been a bit of a frustrating day and I'm pissed at someone I respect a good deal. I'll get over it, but I'm very angry at him today.

One of the HR people here in the office showed me her Barnes & Nobel Nook this morning and I was impressed. If I decide to upgrade at some point, and the next version of the Kindle does not go to color, I would definitely consider the Nook.

I like the idea of buying an individual issue of a magazine without having the clutter of an actual magazine haunting my coffee table for a week (or three...)

RE: LAST NIGHT'S THE AMAZING RACE!

Quote from: MBarnum on February 21, 2011, 10:16:37 AM

Last night's Amazing Race was lots of fun...many of the teams were my favorites during their previous seasons...I think there are only 3 teams that I am not wild about.

I had the opposite reaction. I didn't find it to be a very good premiere (and this is one of my favorite shows). Most of the teams were not my favortes the first time around. Nor do i want to see them again. Plus most of them were not even very good the first time.

There were a few teams who really fit into the theme of the show (unfinished business): Zev and justin (who lost their passports the first time), amanda and Kris (who were u-turned).

But there are so many teams who were not competitive in their original seasons. I guess I just don't get it. There is only one team i actually cheered for in their original season (jaime and cara). findthe spunky and competitive. But many people hate them.

Well, I just popped in and now I must be off. I'm going to see "Unknown" with my friend Margo, then we'll dine, then I'll go to the first read-through for Cannibal! The Musical! I was planning on doing laundry, but I still have some clean socks and underwear.
