I love "The Days Of Wine And Roses" and "For Your Eyes Only. :) "Gigi" (I'm ashamed to admit) is the only other song that Tomovoz has listed that I know, and I don't particularly care for it. I like Lerner and Loewe, but not that one.
I suppose I'll have to think of some on my own...later. ::)

Work today.
I did not watch the CLASH OF THE CHOIRS last night....not sure about that show, though I will watch it once just to see. I am annoyed at all of the reality shows, although I understand the need for them now. Maybe the great number of them will help keep them OFF the air when they are no longer needed.
-
Do titles like:
Evergreen (The love theme from A Star is Born) count?
-
or songs written and credited in the film but not sung like:
Whatever Happened To Baby Jane"
Emily (The Americanization of Emily aka Emily)
-
Last night I saw ENCHANTED.....thought it was very good. I loved the songs and the performances. Two things got into my hair....and that is a chore, I tell you.....that the dance at the ball was called a waltz....and didn't seem to be. AND someone I avoid like the plague turned up in a major part....oh well.
I also saw THE WALKER which I enjoyed very much. (Saw both films because I read about them HERE yesterday). I think Mr Woody Harrelson should receive an Oscar nomination for his performance....but I thought I was watching a mystery and it turned out to be a character study. Lauren Bacall (close friend of DR ELMORE) and Lily Tomlin were very good. Interesting to see Tomlin play the wife of Ned Beatty....which she also did in NASHVILLE.
-
DR MS - I also liked "Bless the Beasts and the Children" sung by Carpenters. I like the film, too, though I haven't seen it in many years.

DR JoseSPiano, have you seen the Disney tie-in book for Mary Poppins? It is quite expensive [$50], but it looks nice.

*See what happens when you oversleep...

Is there no end to the pathos and poor-mouthing?
"Survivor: China" fourth runner-up Denise played the poverty card to appeal to Amanda and Courtney to rid themselves of Todd in order to make the final three. In the finale, which named Todd the winner, Denise claimed she returned home to find she would not get her job back and, instead, had to clean toilets and classrooms, instead....and in a night shift rather than the dayshift she enjoyed pre-Survivor. Producer Mark Barnett felt so sorry for her he, personally, gave her $50,000.
Today, on the CBS Early Show, the TRUTH was revealed...Denise had voluntarily given up the lunch lady job before "Survivor" in order to become a janitor...for higher pay and better benefits. When she returned in August, she asked NO ONE about returning to her day shift job as a lunch lady. She made up the sob story to generate sympathy for her sad, bathetic existence, apparently.
I hope Mark Burnett can stop payment on that check.
-
DR Ron Pulliam - anxiously awaiting some photographs to go with your lovely word painting.
Don't be too anxious. As I explained the other day, my mom's computer does not have photo-editing capabilities (i.e., I cannot make them smaller and, thus, acceptable to HHW.com).
I have lots of pictures...but no way to reduce them to 200 KB, or thereabouts.
But prepare for an end-of-2007 onslaught of pix when I return to the Bay Area.
-
I saw a few little bits here and there of Clash of the Choirs last night. I'm not really familiar with American Idol, but it seems they've borrowed some things there. And of the little I saw of the "performances," there seems to be very little emphasis on the actual choral singing - or imaginative musical arrangements. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. But I hope that Average Joe American doesn't get the idea that this is what choral singing is all about.

Good morning, all! I looked at the alarm, saw it was 7:30 and closed my eyes for a moment, which lasted until 8:40! So, now I'm up with a few errands and a trek to ENCHANTED (it was Susan Sarandon, DR JRand57?) with Charlotte. We want to see SWEENEY TODD on Friday, but I can't learn if it's playing at any theatre but the Ziegfeld, and I don't particularly want to schlep into midtown to buy tickets in advance to learn the Friday showings are sold out. And you're right about the waltz, DR JRand57, and I remember thinking the same thing.
I thought "My Five Packages" was DR MBarnum's fantasy of "My Three Sons."

I hope that Average Joe American doesn't get the idea that this is what choral singing is all about.
Our sentiments exactly, DR Singdaw. I thought the best choral singing occurred in the snippets of Christmas carols that the small groups were shown singing in Rockefeller Center. Can't remember if they were shown just before or just after commercial breaks.

Got another TV review set yesterday (for an MTV series), but am putting all of those on hold for a few days and just enjoy CHristmas favorites.
Today I'll finish WHITE CHRISTMAS, watch A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS, and then move on to A CHRISTMAS STORY
Tonight, I want to watch the Albert Finney SCROOGE before TV shows begin.
-
There are new episodes of CBS' Tuesday line-up (including NCIS).
There's a new episode of BOSTON LEGAL tonight, too.
-
And I'm going to lunch today with my oldest friend Hal. We're having a gift exchange with other friends tomorrow night, but as he and I give each other more than the others, we're going to get a couple of gifts out of the way at lunch so there will be an equal number of gifts exchanged tomorrow night.
-
BK, I was a bad, bad boy and came to the posts before reading the notes, so I just saw your mention of the fantastic Lobo/Buarque collaboration. I believe if you check the credits (don't have time to right now), you'll see that Lobo & Buarque actually did both the music and lyrics together, but maybe I'm remembering incorrectly. Lobo has written some exquisite theater music (as has Buarque), most notably, "Memorias de Marta Sare," which fans of a little band I like to call Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 will know as their most trippy recording ever, "Crystal Illusions," with that Stravinsky-inspired Dave Grusin orchestration.
I've mentioned this before, but Chico is Brasilian musical royalty--he wrote the tune "A Banda," which Herb Alpert fans will remember fondly, he is the brother of Miucha and thus the the Uncle of Bebel Gilberto and brother-in-law of Joao.
-
Agree with many of the "title songs" listed.
Has anyone mentioned A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN? A slightly sappy, sentimental song, but I really like a Rod McKuen sentimental number.
The title song for THE BALLAD OF JOSIE has for the most part stayed with me all these years, as has the title song for WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT?, despite my having seen each of these films only once.
-
I simply ADORE Doris Day, but THE BALLAD OF JOSIE is one of her films I will NEVER own. TCM showed it over the past year, and as I hadn't watched it since its premiere, I thought maybe I may have misjudged it. I found it WORSE than I remembered.

Now, I must head downstairs and start getting ready for my lunch out today.

Hello, everyone!
Just got caught up on the posts. I chuckled at Ron's "make-over". Good for you, Ron!
For Jane, re: Netflix:
I, too, have Netflix and love it. So much of what I like to watch is non-mainstream and Netflix has most of it. I also like being able to keep DVDs as long as I like--there are some things that I need to be in the mood for. I am fortunate to have an excellent video-rental store nearby, Video Vault. They have loads of classic movies, plus a fair amount of the British stuff I adore. The owners and staff are very knowledgeable and are open to customer recommendations. They are a joy and have become good friends. Netflix provides DVDs that Video Vault doesn't carry, and Video Vault is great for those times when my next Netflix DVD hasn't yet arrived. Also, remember that not every movie has gone to DVD and Netflix only carries DVD. As others have mentioned, I've saved myself from purchasing a DVD I didn't care for by renting it first.
-
Happiest of Birthdays to DR PennyO!

Happy, Happy Birthday to DR Dan the Man!

I know I had a reason for popping on at this time (just before lunch, actually), but it's gone clean out of my head.
I had some deep, profound, significant thought to share with you all, and now it is like a wisp of mist drifting into direct sunlight...evaporated all to hell.
Oh, well.

Good Afternoon!
Well, after having a slight panic/anxiety attack when it was announced that all downtown trains were running express, but seeing that an A express train was pulling into the station... Then sat there for a few minutes... Then when it got to the next station, it sat there for another couple of minutes... Thankfully, that was the last of the sitting. I made it down here with a couple minutes to spare. And, lo and behold, it looks like everyone read the part of the casting notice where it stated that "All roles are precast", so we had a relatively short morning - about 70 women, if that - and we were done by 11:30.
Lunch!
-
So, since the men weren't slated to start until 2:00 - and I think we have maybe 30 signed up this afternoon - I went ahead and headed on down to Chelsea to get my hair cut. I had sort of planned to take care of the hair cut tomorrow, but since I had the time today, well... I had about a 10 minute wait for an open chair, but I ended up getting one of my favorite barbers. And I guess I just had my last hair cut for 2007. *Chelsea Barber is also closing down for three weeks starting this Sunday while the staff goes on vacation, and while the owner does some light remodeling and reconfiguring. They'll be adding another chair - for a grand total of four! - as well as replacing the front door. They should be reopening just in time for my first hair cut of 2008.

Just returned from an exhilirating (not) trip to Border's, where every other denizen who received the 40% off coupon was already waiting in line before the store opened (I thought for a moment there was a new Harry Potter book out or something). Luckily, only one other person was looking for the HD DVD 5 disc Blade Runner, and I got to the saleslady first (they never have the new releases out at this particular store--you have to find someone to go back in "the cage," as they routinely call it, to get items for you). This saleslady started out very nice but quickly got snippy when the second person said she wanted the same thing, and this store only had one. So I tried to tell the saleslady there was another edition without the briefcase and I would gladly take that and give the briefcase edition to this nice other shopper, and the saleslady just got very rude all of a sudden and tried to tell us that she knew all about the "many" version of BR out today and she didn't need our help. Bah, humbug. I ended up with the briefcase since the other lady didn't want to spend that much. We both thought we were very friendly and easy to deal with, LOL.

And after a run to the bank, and a stop at the Chinese bakery for a egg custard bun, I then stopped into an Indian place to get a Chicken Samosa. It was good - should have been better - especially since the place is "Under New Management". Ah, well. For $1.50, is it really worth complaining about to the "new management"? ;)

Hello, everyone!
Just got caught up on the posts. I chuckled at Ron's "make-over". Good for you, Ron!
For Jane, re: Netflix:
I, too, have Netflix and love it. So much of what I like to watch is non-mainstream and Netflix has most of it. I also like being able to keep DVDs as long as I like--there are some things that I need to be in the mood for. I am fortunate to have an excellent video-rental store nearby, Video Vault. They have loads of classic movies, plus a fair amount of the British stuff I adore. The owners and staff are very knowledgeable and are open to customer recommendations. They are a joy and have become good friends. Netflix provides DVDs that Video Vault doesn't carry, and Video Vault is great for those times when my next Netflix DVD hasn't yet arrived. Also, remember that not every movie has gone to DVD and Netflix only carries DVD. As others have mentioned, I've saved myself from purchasing a DVD I didn't care for by renting it first.
I <heart> Video Vault. My dear friend, Mark, loved going there. They always had all those great Italian horror movies in stock.
-
And speaking of box sets...
Does the new "Harry Potter" souvenir box have empty slots in it for the remaining two movies? Or will you/someone have to buy another souvenir edition when those come out?
-
Well, time to get ready for the 19(?!?!?!) Equity men - and possibly for about 12 non-Equity mean.
Laters...
-
Hmmm... "Make Me A Song" just announced that they will be closing December 30. And since I already got my hair cut this morning, and if I get a bunch of stuff done at the apartment this afternoon. Hmm...

Guess I'll make one of the telephonic calls now.

Here's a joke we've told here before, but not in a while:
A couple preparing for their wedding meets with the orthodox rabbi for their final instruction.
The rabbi asks if they have any final questions.
The man asks, "Is it true that men and women don't dance together?"
"Yes," says the rabbi, "For modesty reasons, men and women dance separately."
"So I can't dance with my own wife?"
"No."
"Well, okay," says the man,"but what about sex?"
"Fine," says the rabbi. "A mitzvah within the marriage!"
"What about different positions?" the man asks.
"No problem," says the rabbi.
"Woman on top?" the man asks.
"Why not?" replies the rabbi.
"How about animal-style?"
"Of course!"
"Well, what about standing up?"
"NO!" says the rabbi. "Could lead to dancing!"

One of my "favorite" things about Border's is that their in-store computers will list items as "Most Likely In Store" - at least for titles that they don't keep multiple copies in stock at a time. I was trying to find a CD box set the other day, and after checking the usual places, I went ahead and asked at the help desk to see if they could check the "real" computer. Well, the clerk just directed me to the same places I had just looked. "Well, we must be out of stock." Of course, since they were featuring CD boxed sets, there were all these small displays throughout the store. Guess where I found the boxed set I was looking for?
-
Back from my doctor's appointment - so much for self-diagnosis and self-medicating. Turns out that the pills he prescribed for what I had in October, which I've been taking since Saturday, are the exact opposite of what I need for my current ailment ::)
So, while the new prescription was being filled at Kroger, I picked up a few more stocking stuffers (mostly chocolate).
-
Ginny, it is a good thing you went to the doctor!!
Speedy healing vibes now you have the correct medication. Did he tell you to stay home from work? ;)

You did it!!!

Believe me, I started with the computer and found the "most likely in store," and then went on a snark hunt. It was only then I sought out the saleslady, about a nanosecond before a woman who had just gone through the same exercise said "I'm looking for the same thing." ;D

Apparently the recruiter at Kaiser I've been waiting for a call from is on vacation til after Christmas.

Good day one and all!!
Sitting here at one of the branch libraries surrounded by books on cancer, human anatomy, pregnancy and various books on creating drugs...
On the shelf next the computer tower is a book on "THE BRAIN"
In the computer I ahve "Brain from Planet X"
I will say this.... The Brain is better looking and has better moves than the BRAIN book
-
I have had no one for four hours.... I have played the brain from planet X twice since that is the only cd I brought with me

Happy Birthday DR PennyO!!
I hope you have a great day filled with surprises adn freinds!

MBarnum, whatta cute card!
Nancy & Susan always send the best cards. 8)
-
One of the best things about birthdays here, are MBarnum's birthday cards. The Raggedy Ann & Andy one is adorable.
I never had one of the dolls. Who here did?
Jane - I didn't have the dolls when I was young, but early in our marriage Richard's mother was on quite a doll-making kick. Here are the Raggedy Ann & Andy and the Amish doll she made for me. They are riding on Rob's childhood rocking horse, next to the stairway to our second floor.

Mr. Bruce, you have mail!

Another song I forgot....

I ended up getting one of my favorite barbers.
Is his name Sweeney?
I guess not - you're here to tell us about it! :)
-
I did end up getting the Sweeney coffee table book at my local Borders, but only after I had to have one of the Customer Service reps did through the bowels of their vault for 10 minutes. Honestly! They're only depriving themselves of more sales.
-
Is his name Sweeney?
I guess not - you're here to tell us about it! :)
There is a Sweeney barber adn cleaners in the same place near campus....
Poor Students!

Here is another shot of the dolls, showing more fully the decorated bannister. When he was helping me with this decoration the other day, Rob told me that it's one of his favorite parts of our Christmas decor.

I was going for an image.
I thought you were going for a song and a dance.

and Bison Turf, a bar and grill is just down the street....
Methinks that could lead to some shenanigans

Burton re-invents the movie musical (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/movies/la-et-sweeney18dec18,0,6243515.story?coll=la-home-entertainment)
(http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2007-12/34315845.jpg)
"Sweeney Todd's" moral ambiguity and complex music led to the creation of what filmmakers say is a new genre.
...
It's as entertaining, artistic and efficient as anyone could make a "Sweeney Todd" film that might appeal to a broad swath of moviegoers. But it doesn't make the work easier to perform and interpret.
For one thing, putting a made-up Depp in Victorian London -- in whiteface, decaying eyes and crazed hair with a skunk-like stripe -- wasn't enough to help the actor find his tortured alter-ego. "Because Sweeney is such an internal character, one of the only times you get a chance to know what he's feeling is through song -- it's his internal monologue," Depp said.
...
Darn good read!

I am curious to see it... I am contemplating on getting the CD but I also noted that Target did have WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY

I did end up getting the Sweeney coffee table book at my local Borders, but only after I had to have one of the Customer Service reps did through the bowels of their vault for 10 minutes. Honestly! They're only depriving themselves of more sales.
Mine had been sitting behind the sales counter ever since it arrived in the store - we only got two copies - with my SWEENEY soundtrack and my LOST SEASON 3, all of which I picked up this morning; using my 40% coupon and my employee discount, the amount printed that I saved was astronomical.
I haven't cracked open the book, yet, as I'm considering that as Mum's Christmas present to me. . .
-

I had both Andy and Ann! My mother tossed them both into the fireplace when she decided I was too old for them. That incident has scarred me for life.

That's awful!

Dear DR td, you are the model of restraint! :)

My mother tossed them both into the fireplace when she decided I was too old for them.
Was that before or after she forbade you from using wire hangers?

Thanks, DRs Jane, DakotaCelt, and Singdaw for the photo comments and for the health vibes. As you can tell, I'm not totally incapacitated!

Off the top of my head, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Goldfinger, Wild is the Wind, April Fools, Whats new Pussycat,the gershwin's Shall we dance, Gigi, the love theme from Brubaker(kidding)...belated...the first movie I saw Jack Nicholson in was Fall of the House of Usher, tho I didnt realized till I was channel surfing years after the fact.

I am enjoying the soundtrack to SWEENEY TODD.

Is that a euphemism of some sort?
Nope! I just meant that I personally couldn't NOT open that book between now and Christmas! [And yes, that IS a double negative!]
-

I never had one of the dolls. Who here did?
I didn't, but I think my sister had a Raggedy Ann...I think. ;)
-
Didn't Sweeney Todd only kill people who didn't have loads of hangers-on with them when they got their shave?
Moral: Never go to the barber for a shave unless you have an entourage.

I still can't get used to that commercial where the kids shout "More Ovaltine Hot Please." It just doesn't sound right.

And speaking of box sets...
Does the new "Harry Potter" souvenir box have empty slots in it for the remaining two movies? Or will you/someone have to buy another souvenir edition when those come out?
Yep. Once the game demo, bookmarks, and collector cards are removed, the other two releases should fit in there just fine.
-
I had both Andy and Ann!
And that makes you bi or merely curious?
-
I can't believe I forgot about LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING.
And it's completely anachronistic to the period of the 1950s, but I do like the GREASE title song, too.
-
And that makes you bi or merely curious?
Well, he does shop at Bi-Mart! :)
-
I had a wonderful afternoon with Charlotte at ENCHANTED and I'm puttering about the apartment triling the "Happy Working Song." Danny Troob's arrangements and orchestrations are spot-on, completely glorious. As a bonus, we noticed SWEENEY TODD posters around the lobby so after the film we went to the box and - sure enough - purchased tickets for the Friday showing at 1 pm. We are both very excited about this turn of events

Congratulations!
I'll look forward to hearing your unvarnished opinion!

I got all my gifts wrapped for both gift exchange dinners on Wednesday and Thursday nights. And I got all this done while enjoying some of my favorite programming.
-
Yep. Sweetest natured. She's not been photographed that much - Magnus is the one who wasn't camera shy.
-
Congratulations!
I'll look forward to hearing your unvarnished opinion!
So do I. Very much! I already have a date with my friend Jeff to see it on Christmas day.
-
I began my afternoon of viewing with last night's CSI: MIAMI. The CSIs had a lot of rotten apples to sort through, and all of the suspects seemed damaged. None of them were completely blameless in the death of the CI.
-
Next, I finished WHITE CHRISTMAS which I had started last night and gotten about 25 minutes into.
This transfer looks OK, but it could certainly do with an update. The technology has improved so much since this was brought over to DVD.
-
Next up was A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS. I didn't get to see any of the network broadcasts this year, so I needed to watch my own DVD copy. Always enjoyable on numerous levels.
-
I decided to wait until Christmas Eve to watch A CHRISTMAS STORY, so I cued up the 1970 SCROOGE and will watch it when I go back downstairs.
-
I ended the afternoon viewing by skimming through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. No gay characters today, and they weren't in the previews for tomorrow either.
-

Miss Fosca was a beautiful lady...
-
Jeanne, I LIVE to please!

;D ;D ;D

I know I had a reason for popping on at this time (just before lunch, actually), but it's gone clean out of my head.
I had some deep, profound, significant thought to share with you all, and now it is like a wisp of mist drifting into direct sunlight...evaporated all to hell.
I'm sure Miss karen has an appropriate remark.

I had a Raggedy Ann doll once, Jane. Don't know what happened to it.
-
I <heart> Video Vault. My dear friend, Mark, loved going there. They always had all those great Italian horror movies in stock.
For other DRs, Video Vault specializes in cult films and all manner of non-mainstream stuff. they have a website (videovault.com) and will track down hard-to-find films. One of the owners tracked down a copy of MY BROTHER, NIKHIL for me and purchased it, just because I said I heard about it here and was interested.

Did you just say that what you really needed was chocolate??
-
Good Afternoon!
Well, we ended up with at least 26 Equity men, a few straggling Equity women, and a handful of non-Equity men this afternoon. And what an afternoon it was! There are no words to describe that parade of talent that came through that door between 2:00pm and 3:15pm. Well, there are plenty of words to describe what came in and what "happened", but since I'm not one to dwell on the negative. I'm just sayin'. ;)
However, one gentlemen who came in turned out to be the former artistic director of the company that gave me my first real, professional job as a musical director. So that was cool.
-
Chocolate? Who said Chocolate?
-
The fireplace!! That would have scarred me too. Were you watching? Did you scream? I would have.
Yes, I watched while they burned :-[
I did not scream, but I was not a happy camper. Even as a little kid (I was probably 5 or 6 years old) it seemed to me to be rather unneccesary and mean. It wasn't like I even played with them anymore, but I did still enjoy having them.
After that I did keep my favorite toys hidden.

DR elmore - I wish I was in town this Friday to catch "Sweeney Todd" with you. I do plan to watch down in Richmond, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the crowds down there will not be as big as the crowds up here. At least I'll have room to stretch out. ;)
-
I'm heading down now to clean up some wrapping mess I made, and then get back to the evening's viewing schedule.
WBBL.
-
BK, I'm curious as to the title of the Lobo/Buarque you have. Both Cambaio and Album de Teatro show either collaborative efforts, or solo, at least in terms of the writing. There's nothing with music by Edu and words by Chico. I'm wondering if there's something new out or I have something filed somewhere else that I'm not remembering. ;D
-
And after the auditions were completed, I walked up to the Virgin Megastore in Times Square and purchased a copy of the "Sweeney Todd" soundtrack. For some reason, I was expecting the special edition to have two CDs. Instead, it's just the 80-page book, plus some extra tracks on the CD (to make it "complete".
As an added bonus, it turned out anyone purchasing a copy of the soundtrack also got a copy of the movie poster. :)
-
So... Would any DR like a "Sweeney Todd" movie poster? ;)
-
Yep. Once the game demo, bookmarks, and collector cards are removed, the other two releases should fit in there just fine.
Good to know. -And since that 40%-off coupon is good tomorrow at Border's.... Hmm...
-
Wise Bears
And adorable too!
-
I had both Andy and Ann! My mother tossed them both into the fireplace when she decided I was too old for them. That incident has scarred me for life.
...And those dolls were made in India by former bodybuilders... As they burned, the spirits of those bodybuilders were carried into the air by the smoke. Unbeknownst to little Mikey Barnum, as he breathed in some of that smoke, it would plant a seed in him that would begin to germinate many, many years later...
-
Jose, you crack me up! LOL! That was good!
-
Good to know. -And since that 40%-off coupon is good tomorrow at Border's.... Hmm...
"My" Border's was already completely out of the Potter giftsets (in both SD and both HD formats) by the time I got there last week with last week's 40% coupon (or maybe it was 2 weeks ago--it was whatever week Potter came out). I ended up with Young Indiana Jones. That's one of the reasons I made sure to be there when the store opened today.
I started the new, new director's cut (not to be confused with the previously single-new director's cut ;D) of Blade Runner. It looks pretty fantastic, I must say, though I am not looking forward to the "nail through the hand" shot in hi-def. I could barely stand it in standard def. :P

MB, I think we had cloned mothers--my mother once took everything I had stashed under my bed for "safekeeping," hauled it across the street to an empty lot we owned, and set fire to it, ostensibly to teach me a lesson about being "neat." Instead it taught me a lesson about matricidal rage.

Thankfully, I have three "My Border's" within 15 blocks of each other. Although, the Columbus Circle branch does seem to pretty good with keeping things in stock - and placing a good initial order.

So... Here's one thing I don't you think you should ever say to anyone behind the table at an audition.
Oh! I know you! From the gym, right?
-
And here something you really shouldn't say after you finish singing:
You know, I'm just not a sixteen-bar song kind of guy.

And here's something that crossed my brain a couple of times this afternoon:
You may have just sung "All I Need Now Is The Girl", but what you needed a few seconds ago was a high-F.

I am listening to my Brian D'Arcy James Christmas CD and pondering whether to make reservations at The Sportsman's Lodge in Studio City (http://www.losangeles.com/the-sportsmens-lodge/gifs/pool2.jpg)
or the Safari Inn in Burbank (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/True_Romance,_Safari_Inn.jpg/450px-True_Romance,_Safari_Inn.jpg) for my February trip.
Unfortunately, neither place gets very good reviews.
-
-Excuse me... Which chords and music do you want me to play? It looks like it was transposed.
Oh, yes it was.
-So, do I follow the written out notes or the chords symbols?
Start it in that key there, then switch there.
-But then that means I'm starting your intro in a different key.
Oh, I know. I had someone write it out that way for me.
*Needless to say, neither the chicken scratch notes, nor the hard-to-read pencilled in chord symbols were correct. :-\
-
Hobbit news is very pleasing.

DR MBarnum - Which one is Brian staying in?

Smiles! Thank you as always for sharing the "gems" of your day DR Jose.

So, of course, what I should be doing right now is cleaning, maybe even some laundry, so I don't have to do some of that tomorrow. Well... Of course, I'm doing neither right, so... Ah, well.

DR Ron Pulliam - Thanks for waving at the Furman campus for me. I went down there a few times for various music competitions in college. Beautiful grounds. And as for Bob Jones University... Strangely enough, they have quite a wonderful collection of Art, including some religious artifacts that the Vatican has been trying to acquire.

And the perennial classic...
This is a new song that a friend of mine wrote, so I know you don't know it. It begins here, but then I cut to here. Then there's a key change there. And then I fool around with the ending a bit, so just follow me. OK?

Isn't "matricide" from a Rodgers & Hart lyric?
-
Cool!
"Sweeney Todd" will be showing at the movie theatre right near my parents' house in Richmond on Friday. 11:15am is the first showing. I have a feeling I'll be there.
-
I've got morning buns right here!
Lucky you! ;)
-
Isn't "matricide" from a Rodgers & Hart lyric?
Well, it's actually "mattress-side".
Sir Athelstane indulged in fratricide;
He killed his dad and that was patricide
One night I stabbed him at my mattress side
To keep my love alive,
To keep my love alive.

I've got morning buns right here!
Are those to go with your morning... Oh.. Nevermind.

DR MBarnum - Which one is Brian staying in?
Brian? You have lost me there DR Jose!
-
So... Would any DR like a "Sweeney Todd" movie poster? ;)
If it's not too late, I'd love to have the ST poster!
-
BK, I'm curious as to the title of the Lobo/Buarque you have. Both Cambaio and Album de Teatro show either collaborative efforts, or solo, at least in terms of the writing. There's nothing with music by Edu and words by Chico. I'm wondering if there's something new out or I have something filed somewhere else that I'm not remembering. ;D
As written in the notes, the CD is entitled O Grande Circo Mistico.
-
I've mentioned this before, but Chico is Brasilian musical royalty--he wrote the tune "A Banda," which Herb Alpert fans will remember fondly, he is the brother of Miucha and thus the the Uncle of Bebel Gilberto and brother-in-law of Joao.
Herb who? ???
-
If it's not too late, I'd love to have the ST poster!
If I can get it in the mail tomorrow morning with the other packages I'm sending out... Otherwise, I probably won't be able to send it to you until after the New Year. But consider it yours, DR George.

Brian? You have lost me there DR Jose!

Just heard from our EQUITY guy and it's a no go to use EQUITY actors in The Brain at the Chance Theater. The reasons are beyond idiotic and I will be going into this in the notes but plenty. Basically, the Chance is fifteen miles over the LA County line, which is where Waiver theater stops. No matter that Waiver theater is in the Valley, Pasadena, and many other places. So, instead of working with the Chance on this one-off entry for the LA Festival of New Musicals, they preclude actors from working where they'd like to, on a show they'd like to work on, and getting paid $400 to do so (more than NYMF). Which leads me to the conclusion I'd reached long ago about EQUITY - they don't really care about their membership and they just take the hard line whenever they can. The best plan they could put the Chance on is $250 or thereabouts a week. This is a forty-nine seat theater, so one can easily see the folly of that plan.

Good Afternoon!
Well, after having a slight panic/anxiety attack when it was announced that all downtown trains were running express, but seeing that an A express train was pulling into the station... Then sat there for a few minutes... Then when it got to the next station, it sat there for another couple of minutes... Thankfully, that was the last of the sitting. I made it down here with a couple minutes to spare. And, lo and behold, it looks like everyone read the part of the casting notice where it stated that "All roles are precast", so we had a relatively short morning - about 70 women, if that - and we were done by 11:30.
Lunch!
If all the roles were precast, what were the 70 women doing there?
-
Yes, I watched while they burned :-[
I did not scream, but I was not a happy camper. Even as a little kid (I was probably 5 or 6 years old) it seemed to me to be rather unnecessary and mean. It wasn't like I even played with them anymore, but I did still enjoy having them.
After that I did keep my favorite toys hidden.
I bet you kept them hidden. You were so young, it is hard to imaging you were considered too old for dolls, maybe by a father but not a mother.
-
Miss Blue Moon got an extra cookie, pat on the head, and hug for Miss Fosca today. All were much appreciated and enjoyed by all.
-
Yes, DR ELMORE....it is Susan Sarandon.
-
...And those dolls were made in India by former bodybuilders... As they burned, the spirits of those bodybuilders were carried into the air by the smoke. Unbeknownst to little Mikey Barnum, as he breathed in some of that smoke, it would plant a seed in him that would begin to germinate many, many years later...
;D
-
More and more title tunes keep showing up here.....tunes that I love, sing, and have recordings of.....or covet recordings of:
Pillow Talk
Move Over, Darling
Georgy Girl
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines
Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies - aka Monte Carlo or Bust
The Sound of Music
A Kiss Before Dying
-
Valley of the Dolls
Billie
A Summer Place

MB, I think we had cloned mothers--my mother once took everything I had stashed under my bed for "safekeeping," hauled it across the street to an empty lot we owned, and set fire to it, ostensibly to teach me a lesson about being "neat." Instead it taught me a lesson about matricidal rage.
Oh my! My mother often raged, thankfully she never set fire to anything. She did chop off all my hair once during one of her rages. To this day I have issues getting my hair cut short. ;D
-
If all the roles were precast, what were the 70 women doing there?
And then there were the THREE days of REQUIRED Equity Principal Auditions last week.... You'll have to ask Equity. -And it was Equity who required that the "precast" notice be put in the audition listing. ???
*However, there were no swings last summer at City Center, and for the upcoming Broadway production, they will need to cast four swings (two men, two women), so there are some slots open. Just no "roles" open at this time.
-
I am listening to my Brian D'Arcy James Christmas CD and pondering whether to make reservations at The Sportsman's Lodge in Studio City
Unfortunately, neither place gets very good reviews.
If you stay at the Sportsman's Lodge see if you can get a room in the back, off of the garden. It is away from the pool & quieter, plus having a bit of grass and flowers is nice when surrounded by the city.
It has been 10 years since we stayed there so I have no idea what it is like these days.

Did or does?

I, too, went to the doctor today. I have walking pneumonia.. Now I have antibiotics and the cough syrup I wanted on Sunday night and Monday night, but couldn't get until after I had seen the doctor. I am not sure who the wacky nurse talked you yesterday, but I don't think it was my doctor. In fact, my doctor was quite surprised that I was there.
Trust me, my doctor knows who I am. After twenty years of my putting his three kids through college and buying him that lovely cheateau at Whistler, he remembers me.

Miss Allison Hayes is on TCM at 3:45 am EST in Chicago Syndicate, if anyone wants to set the TIVO.

I wonder if Allison ever stayed in one of the rooms at the Sportsman's Lodge, JRand? After all, it was a long drive over the hill to her Hollywood home...at night...in the dark...on that windy road...of course she would have to sign in as Mrs. John Smith...just to keep the gawkers away.
-
I had both Andy and Ann! My mother tossed them both into the fireplace when she decided I was too old for them. That incident has scarred me for life.
Oh Mike, you will get over it. After all, it has only been a month.
-
DR TCB - walking pneumonia, yikes! Please take great care.
Fear of pneu. was what took me to see the doctor today, but he says not. I've called off for one more day and will try to get back to work Thursday and Friday, then have 5 days off in a row.

Mr Marlon Brando looking so so so handsome.
Ms Anna Magnani giving a stunning performance.
Mr Victor Jory homely.
Ms Joanne Woodward at her Method-y worst.....with ONE really nice monolog delivery....but unfortunately with three monologs.

Someone mentioned here just last week for some reason I cannot recall:
Mr Mickey Knox

Looking thru the photos of those who have passed away this year, I was surprised to see that John Inman from ARE YOU BEING SERVED had died from Hepatitis A. I realize that he was 71, but that seems a strange cause of death.

Speedy recovery vibes to dear TCB

We had fun today. Besides seeing Santa (shhh, he's actually a friend of Anthony's). When we got to SantaLand we had to whisper sotto voce to the elf that we wanted to see a special Santa. Our wish was granted and we were taken to David's, oops, I mean Santa's, workshop. The technology is amazing. The picture looks great and it took minutes to complete. I remember when you had your picture taken and then waited a couple of weeks if not longer for them to be mailed to you. Ahh, the modern world.
After a visit with Santa we walked over to Lord and Taylor's and looked at their windows. The theme is Christmas in different lands. We then came home for lunch and a nap (like good kids). We had chicken noodle soup with crackers and I cut a kiwi in half, some for Ant and some for me.
-
Why should TCB be playing dead?
I do believe he begs and rolls over but I thought that was the extent of his training.
-
Jane, the next time you're in town I would love to show you the Dakota, although you won't see the entire building from Central Park any more due to the large growth of trees since 1890 ;)

Now that volunteer time is over we are relaxing and enjoying our time together. I still have to "wash the bowl" every morning but it's done in the home environment and not the office kitchen and I have to be more quiet due to a certain sleeper in the bedroom.

I finally made some headway on this song - it's been like beating a dead horse. I wanted to cut it, but the author thinks it's great and wants it in. I'd fixed the music several days ago, which was a huge deal, but that works fine now. But his lyric is unfocused and, more importantly, unfunny, which is not good for a comedy song. It's a Secret Serviceman's lament for the good old days of J. Edgar Hoover, kind of like Those Were The Good Old Days from Damn Yankees. Today, I finally got about half of it where it's now mildly amusing, which is 500% better than it was in that regard.
Besides hating and persecuting Jews, Blacks, and Gays, and bugging people's phones and doing smear campaigns, what are a couple of other infamous Hooverisms?

We've discussed this before, a long time ago, but there's a very funny musical about Hoover co-written by Harry Shearer available on LA Theatre Works--J. Edgar!, with Kelsey Grammer as Hoover. "Mr. Hoover, anarchist on line 3." ;D
Well, I'm about 3/4 of the way through the new, new director's cut of BR whilst listening to the director's commentary. He has thus far refused (sometimes in contorted language) to refer to Sean Bean by name. Every other actor has been named when they're on screen, but Bean is always "that one," "the girl," "her," etc. What's up with that? I know Bean had some mental issues vis a vis James Woods, but did she lose it with Scott, too?

I suspect TCB's Herb Alpert comment was more bull than lonely.
I'm sure he has enjoyed his whipped cream and indeed many other delights. (though he will claim to have forgotten).
-
I was thinking about how much I love MOST of the James Bond title songs, with ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE'S "All the Time in the World" being tops on my list, but, it's not really a "Title Song," is it?
I really like what Shirley Bassey does with "Moonraker," in addition to her superb vocals on "Goldfinger" and "Diamonds are Forever." It's a pity that her "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" and "Thunderball" aren't heard often.
-
Someone here doesn't like Herb Alpert? Did I miss a post?

'night.

We've discussed this before, a long time ago, but there's a very funny musical about Hoover co-written by Harry Shearer available on LA Theatre Works--J. Edgar!, with Kelsey Grammer as Hoover. "Mr. Hoover, anarchist on line 3." ;D
Well, I'm about 3/4 of the way through the new, new director's cut of BR whilst listening to the director's commentary. He has thus far refused (sometimes in contorted language) to refer to Sean Bean by name. Every other actor has been named when they're on screen, but Bean is always "that one," "the girl," "her," etc. What's up with that? I know Bean had some mental issues vis a vis James Woods, but did she lose it with Scott, too?
I am confused... what is "BR" and isn't THIS Sean Bean?
Why is the director referring to him as "the girl" and "her"?

Sean Bean or Sean Young?
-
Confused, DR Vixmom? I think that the reference is to BLADE RUNNER'S Sean Young. . .

Sean Bean looks nothing like Sean Young.

TCB, you weren't serious earlier about Herb Alpert, were you?
Now now, Jeffrey, I was a big fan of Herb Alpert AND Sergio Mendez.

Speaking of Sean!

Besides hating and persecuting Jews, Blacks, and Gays, and bugging people's phones and doing smear campaigns, what are a couple of other infamous Hooverisms?
White chiffon dresses?

Get well vibes to TCB!
I have had walking pnuemonia and it is no fun. Take care of yourself!
Thank you, Dakota, you are still in my prayers.

We watched "For Your Consideration" last night. Not as funny as the previous efforts but still enjoyable (and believable!).

I was thinking about how much I love MOST of the James Bond title songs, with ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE'S "All the Time in the World" being tops on my list, but, it's not really a "Title Song," is it?
I really like what Shirley Bassey does with "Moonraker," in addition to her superb vocals on "Goldfinger" and "Diamonds are Forever." It's a pity that her "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" and "Thunderball" aren't heard often.
Actually All the Time in the World is not song over the main titles. The main titles have an instrumental

aother favorite of mine, though I must admit one that engenders a rather different emotional response.......

Since nobody said we couldn't:
A couple more songs
Can You Read My Mind (The Love Theme From Superman)
The Slipper and The Rose Waltz (He Danced With Me/She Danced With Me)

I thought Tom Jones sang THUNDERBALL.
And how could I forget Nancy Sinatra's YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE.
-
I'll even cope with the A-Ha and Duran Duran tracks - but NOT Madonna's effort.
I quite like the "Garbage" song.

"Mr Kiss Bang Bang" was sung by Dionne Warwick.

I am already on the pain killers, so Lord knows what I may / or may not say.

for the Bond theme and song fans - Scott Walker's "Only Myself to Blame" from "The World Is Not Enough" is great.

I had a Raggedy Ann and A Raggedy Andy and the story book that told all about them....
MY mother had the Salvation Army come one Saturday and take all the toys out of my room one Saturday while I was at the Library working on homework... I was 12 and "too old" to have toys in my room......
of course it was not discussed with me, I just came home to find all my precious possessions gone...
Scarred? Well the Vixter has never had to get rid of anything....
Of course it rather looks as though we live in a storage facility.....

I saw Casino Royale tonight on Blu Ray.
The movie was boring but the uncrompress soundtrack was excellent and the visuals were stunning.
Anyone seen Blade Runner on Hi Def yet?
-
And what is the difference between 1080i and 1080p?
-
oh, the stories of mother's getting rid of stuff. I would have let the boys keep everything as well, except we kept moving. I felt so cruel getting them to part with their toys. At least I never did it behind their backs.

Yes, I think poor JMK means Sean Young.

It would seem that all the historic, funky, kitschy hotels and motels are in the downtown area of Los Angeles, and that is not really where I want to stay. Of course they are also quite cheap.
Most of my business, aside from one day with Rad Fulton and maybe a visit to Amoeba and to Larry Edmunds Bookstore, will have me in the valley...North Hollywood, Northridge, Canyon Lake, etc. and for the first four days prior to the Ray Courts Show I just want to stay in a fun sort of motel that just says vintage!
You wouldn't think that would be so difficult to find.
-
Maybe the YMCA is kitschy?
-
I think this guy is named Sean, too...
OH! That's what his name was.
;)
-
6 White Boomers, Snow white boomers......
(I don't believe it either!)
-
Yes, my bad, Sean YOUNG, but after all Ridley Scott is adamantly refusing to name her, so my faux pas can be forgiven, hopefully. ;D
-
In fact, right after I posted that BEAN comment, Scott goes on a long discussion about testing Sean YOUNG without ever once calling Sean YOUNG by name. ;) Bizarre.
-
Have I mentioned that I am reviewing Mr. YOUNG's Holiday, starring Rowan BEAN? Oh, never mind.
-
Just had a nice conversation with jhvw. I got their Christmas card and boy is he looking good. So good, I had to call and tell him Anyway, he is doing very well. It was really nice to talk to him.

Just finished watching the season finale of "The Biggest Loser".... WOW!
-
I have nothing to say.
-
DR TCB, I hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself. Pneumonia in any form is not something to toy with.
-
DR Michael S, basically a progressive image repeats the image twice while an interlaced image doesn't. The repetition happens in nanoseconds, and the repeated image registers in our brains as a slightly smoother and sharper picture. But unless you have a super large screen, it's likely you won't notice any difference at all.
-
Just finished the "new, improved" Blade Runner, starring Sean CONNERY, Sean PENN, Sean ASTIN, Sean HAYES, Sean "P. Diddy" COMBS, and Sean Patrick FLANERY, to (mis)name but a few. Can't say it's any major improvement. Though people seem to hate the orginal theatrical release, it's still my favorite version, probably because it was the first one I saw.
-
And I found CASINO ROYALE very exciting apart from the poker stuff which went on too long. The Blu-ray looks simply smashing. That's a film I'd like to revisit over the holidays. I haven't watched it in many months.
-
You know Val Kilmer?
I'm the Charlton Heston generation, sweetums. ;D
-
I began my evening with SCROOGE and enjoyed it though it, too, is in need of a new transfer. It's sharp enough, but color could be a tad stronger, and the blacks are milky throughout.
-
Next, I watched HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN. I just loved it on Blu-ray. Very sharp with excellent color and wonderful depth to the image.
-
And I finished the evening with tonight's BOSTON LEGAL. The cases weren't anything to write home about. Candice Bergen was nowhere to be seen.
-
Yikes! I go away for a day and people start posting like the wind. Argh---I will never catch up.
But I do have to first wish a big Happy Birthday to DtM, and to PennyO, whom I had the pleasure to meet just a mere 2 weeks ago. What a deelite!
-
Well, I guess I should fold my laundry. At least, "Chelsea Lately" is on too.
-
And tonight I came home to 2 wonderful things---the first being the illuminated reindeer grazing in the woods in front of our house. These came with the house and although I had wanted to put them out, we weren't set up for it, power-wise.
Greg had been thinking about it and although he was very sick today (he caught what I am just getting rid of) he decided to surprised me with the reindeer. So now we don't look like the Scrooge family anymore in our new neighborhood, which seems to have every house decorated.
Surprise #2 was a delightfully tempting box of chocoate Godiva goodness from Elmore, Man of Danger. I and holding off until tomorrow when my best friend is here, and I'm sure we shall polish them off between the 3 of us.
Oh, well since Greg is sick and he can't taste anything, surely he wouldn't be interested! Heheheh...

Jose, the concert sounds like it was wonderful. And thanks for the Carnegie Hall link. (Makes me want a Starbucks!)
I haven't been to the ground-level hall since it was a movie theatre (I was there when they reopened it as a theatre in the late 80's) but I always thought it would be more suited to concerts because of its "aspect ratio". I'd like to hear a concert there.
-
I did win a trip to NY once to hear our Atlanta Symphony in Carnegie Hall. People had been bitching for years about how bad the accoustics were in our hall, but I never realized how right they were until I heard our group in Carnegie Hall. Wow! I thought "So that's what they're talking about"!
I love to go there on Memorial Day, when they have those big choral requiem concerts.
-
I did flip over during commercials of BOSTON LEGAL to watch some of MAHAGONNY on PBS-HD. The broadcast looked simply wonderful though the sound was rather distant-sounding. I'm not familiar with the piece at all, but you certainly could tell it was Kurt Weill music.
-
I don't have ANY writing to do tonight, so I can log off now and head down for bed earlier than usual.
Good night!
-
So many good choices of title songs. I do love mostly any Bacharach title song, and After The Fox is great. I think I wrote the liner notes for the After The Fox CD - did I? I'll have to look. I know I did two, and I know the other was Irma La Douce.
-
I'm going to be a "preditor" again tomorrow so I'd best get to bed, and try to catch up tomorrow during lag times.
Nytol!

DR Edi - I doubted anyone else would remember "After The Fox"
There's also "Up The Junction" and "Ferry Cross The Mersey"

After all the discussion on this here board about the new movie ENCHANTMENT, I talked my buddy Jim into going to see it on Friday night.
Actually, he didn't take much coaxing...he said yes and didn't even know what the movie was. He must need to get out!
-
Maybe if he has time, in anticipation of your movie date, Jose can teach you the "surprise in a popcorn bucket" technique. If not, I think it was in either PORKY'S or THE KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE.

Looking thru the photos of those who have passed away this year, I was surprised to see that John Inman from ARE YOU BEING SERVED had died from Hepatitis A. I realize that he was 71, but that seems a strange cause of death.
One careless food handler can contaminate a dish with Hep A.
The elderly are more likely to die of the resulting infection for which there is no cure!

Gosh, it was actually in a classy film like DINER?
-
I miss all the classy films.
I've not seen Porky's, American Pie, KFM or indeed Diner.
I don't get out much.
-
I see on the internet that some bloggers feel that moment in DINER was the inspiration for the award-winning Justin Timberlake number "D**k in a Box."
-
"Enchanted" starts here on boxing Day. (Dec 26th - traditional time for giving the servants their Christmas gifts or boxes) We have to wait until late January for "Sweeney Todd"
-
But seriously, DINER was a major critical hit and very well-respected.

"Diner" is quite a wonderful movie. One of Barry Levinson's "biographical" pics.

You Tube - The Popcorn Scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARvdUBkNoDU)
-
I bought Mr Timberlake's song "Cry Me a River" (for $1). I assumed it was the old Julie London favourite. I tried to find a melody!
-
And if you look closely during that scene, you can see the back of the head of my high school English teacher in the diner. He was a "featured extra" in the film. He actually gets quite a bit of screen time, even though none of his "dialogue" is every featured.
-
There's another similar scene in the Tom Cruise movie, "All The Right Moves" involving a school desk.
-
I'll store "diner" away in my memory bank to register again when I look in the cheap bins!
(The home of such classics as "Sordid Lives")
-
-Not that I keep track of such scenes.
-
I shall not bother with "All The Right Moves".
-
Cruise and Football - "A Must To Avoid" (A Herman's Hermits reference)
-
I shall not bother with "All The Right Moves".
Well, the current DVD release edits out Mr. Cruise bits'n'pieces in that one scene now anyway. ;)
-
or for some "A Muscular Boy"
-
The other Levinson "Baltimore movies" are: "Tin Men", "Avalon", and "Liberty Heights".
It's amazing to think of the actors who basically got their start - or at least continued their "start" - with "Diner": Paul Reiser, Steve Guttenberg, Daniel Stern, Ellen Barkin, Tim Daly, Mickey Rourke, and Kevin Bacon.
-
I'm finished viewing a motion picture. And now I shall relax and listen to music whilst nosing around the Internet.
-
Didn't care for "Tin Men" but liked "Avalon". (The Newman score was great)
-
Now now, Jeffrey, I was a big fan of Herb Alpert AND Sergio Mendez.
Sergio Mendez - isn't he Mexican chef or something?

I found Bubble Up at World Market. I'd never had it before.
Don't look at me like that. I'm young; it's allowed.

Well, I didn't get as much stuff done tonight as I had sort of planned to get done in preparation for my trip back down to Virginia for the Christmas holiday, but at least I got my hair cut today, and that will "save" me a good chunk of time tomorrow. I also washed all the clothes in my hamper - and folded them too - and I'll just wash the towels tomorrow night. So, tomorrow will be a day filled with errands, cleaning and packing. -And, undoubtedly fretting about what errands to run, which cleaning to do, and what I need to pack and not pack. So...
Goodnight.

It was the Bubble Up.
Aha, one of those "still feeling it days later" things.
