Today at noon, I' going to the opera! I'll be seeing Verdi's Macbeth at the movies. It's an encore showing of the Live from the Metropolitan Opera high definition broadcast that's showing at a local movie theater! I remember reading about these broadcasts last season, but the closest theater to Olympia where they were being shown was more than an hour away, and now they have it here! It had better be good...the ticket was $22! But that's a heck of a lot cheaper than flying to New York and seeing it in person.

I saw this at the Met last weekend and really enjoyed it. Hope you enjoyed it.

I'm working on the launch of several shows for TLC. One looks very interesting: The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom.

They take a woman who has given up her career to raise her family and ddrop her back into the working world at the point where she would have been had she not taken a break. They don't tell the family, though. They know mom is doing a reality tv thing but they think that she's off at a spa during the week, taking a break while a staff of people help take care of her household duties.

After a week of being in the workforce, (with a break every day to see highlights/lowlights of what happened with her family during the day on a video feed) she is then askes whether she might want to continue ot be a stay at home mom or go back to work.

I don't know how any of the episodes end, since they are still being edited, but I thought it was an interesting premise. I generally despise reality television but since it's paying the bills right now I'm starting to "appreciate" it more!

That sounds really interesting, I can't wait to see how the families will be impacted.

Good grief - I'm getting "Was Barak Obama a Muslim" EMails!

This campaign is really going to get sickening.

Their conclusion:

A friend of mine forwarded me one of those as well as his scathing response to the person who sent it to him. Ridiculous and offensive.

Cillaliz, I thought of you at one of the get-togethers today because it turns out my brother-in-law edited various Edwards spots that ran only in Iowa. If you saw any spots of him speaking informally to groups in a home environment, my bro-in-law did those.

I'm sure I saw them. That's the set up in alot of ads, so I don't specifically remember which one it would be. They should all be on Youtube perhaps he can show you the ads he did.

Here's the Globes site that shows the winners as they are announced, just in case you miss it like I did

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #250 on:** January 13, 2008, 06:11:41 PM »

So... Is there an actual press conference? Is there someone else reading the winners before team-NBC announces it?

Cillaliz · « **Reply #251 on:** January 13, 2008, 06:11:44 PM »

Are we doing spoilers for the west coast, or is it the same time everywhere. Or are spoilers appropriate for a "news conference" announcement

Nope just here are the nominations and here is who won

Hmm... Apparently, it's raining right now - well, it is raining right now (here in NYC), and we're under a "Heavy Snow Warning" for the overnight hours.

I don't watch awards shows on television (except the Tonys), but I have a feeling I would rather watch the awards show as an announcement than the big overdone extravaganza these things have turned out to be. But that is just my opinion, which is worth nothing.

And speaking of "originals"...

With the upcoming Broadway mounting of the LuPone Gypsy, does this make Gypsy the most oft-revived Broadway show?

No, with LuPone doing GYPSY it becomes the most reviled Broadway show.

I have always thought that the best way to do awards shows would be to cut the commentary and patter, read off the winners, and then have anyone wearing a pretty dress do a quick walk across the stage.

PRE show??? There's no SHOW. NBC has sunk to a new low doing a pre-show for a show that doesn't exist. Don't worry about spoilers.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #261 on:** January 13, 2008, 06:26:20 PM »

If you watch on CNN it's live. They've already announced a BIGGIE

We currently have kittens Summer and Lucy staying with us. Pierre is furious- he clearly does not remember being a guest in their home a few months ago. He keeps chasing them around the house, hissing and growling. He is two months younger and twice the size of them.

DR elmore - I may have an extra ticket to the NY Phil this week - Thursday night, I think. Leif Ove Andsnes is playing Brahms' Second Piano Concerto. Are you possibly interested in this possibly available ticket?

Okay, we know he can play Brahm's. What I want to know is whether he can play Birkeland.

bk · « **Reply #266 on:** January 13, 2008, 06:29:39 PM »

What exactly are they DOING for the Globes? If they're reading the winners quickly, that site sure isn't updating quickly.

Well, I know his manager, so I'll see if "Birkeland" is in his repertoire.

In the meantime, maybe you can find your answer HERE.

BK< Just turn on CNN or NBC.They are totally different shows doing the same thing CNN is live. NBC is doing their own thing and announcing after they've been awarded
