Here is our very own Miss Tammy Minoff. Note the bath towel she's holding. She makes her entrance in that bath towel and nothing else.I hope you've installed a space heater in her dressing room. I'd not at all care for having to step on stage covered with a towel and goose bumps because of the chill, if I were her.
As for the TOD--that's easy. I go to NYC and get a hotel room. Without a bathtub! :D ;DBut, Danise, you should be able to find a hotel room in NYC that already has a bathtub! You shouldn't have to pack one of your own!!!
BK nice pictures and poster!
You talk a lot about the actors having trouble with their lines. I'm curious if Matt Ashford's soap experience makes memorizing a lot easier for him than for the others (they have to do like 30-40 pages a day!).
the Farley Granger character (can't think of his name)
, my dad driving (a stick shift) with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other...and a steep cliff on one side of the road the entire way up to the campground.
As for learning lines... Most actors I've worked with have a harder time with a less amount of material. Because they have fewer lines, there is actually more pressure to get them all right - if that makes sense. And it's even harder if all of their material is not "all in a row" and spread out over a couple of scenes with "skips" in between.
Well... Yes... I'm babbling, so...
Matt is never off the stage in Deceit and he speaks from the moment he enters right through to the end of the play. Every other line in the show is his, and on top of that he has a really difficult four-page monolog in act one. So, it's been an ordeal to learn it - he's got most of it down, but there are still word mistakes and minor stuff - we note those at every rehearsal - he should be fine by Monday.
The other actor, who has a total of twelve pages of dialogue, is baffling. I said that last night - twelve pages, how hard is it to learn twelve pages perfectly?
Funny, I would have thought it'd be the other way around. I'd imagine that he would be used to having the teleprompter right there with his lines on it when he needed it. That'd be a hard crutch to have taken away.
:o
I got chills up my spine when I read this bit....I am scared of those mountain cliff roads... I always think we're going off the edge
The new Critics Choice DVD catalog lists a Toshiro Mifune movie called THE BAD SLEEP WELL on a new Criterion Release, Jan 10.
Anyone know anything about this film from 1960? Sounds like something I would like, but it is, of course, a bit pricey.
Wouldn't you feel stupid if you were painting a water tower and fell into a big opening in the tower and then it was telecast across the country? I mean please...if you're on top of a water tower, wouldn't you be watching where you stepped every time you moved your feet?

Vixmom, stay tuned for Products. :) And thanks for the review on Gather. I've had a lot of people email me about the story, but so far only two reviews.
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. it is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful; a meaningful friend -- or a meaningful day. Dalai Lama
Frances Farmer. Didn't she write a cookbook?
Ayn would not approve of your quoting some third-world selfless person like the Dalai Lama. :) Have you heard about the idiot entertainment reporter who was doing an IV with him and kept calling him Mr. Lama? ;D

Looks like this....only for some reason the guy selling this one has his white exercise bike setting on top of the Air Walker. Mine is the gray Z shaped thing. ;D
I've been catching up and came across a reference to this show now playing on American TV
"the new show with Howie Mandel, To Deal Or Not To Deal?"
We ran across it on BBC also (Irish television has RTE 1 and RTE 2 but they also get BBC transmissions). In England it's called "Deal or No Deal"
I must say I found it somewhat confusing at first but after watching for a while I began to understand. That's not to say I thought it was a particularly good game show. And knowing that Mr. Mandel is the host of the American version ensures that I would never watch it over here. I don't "get" Mr. Mandel. I find him tasteless, crude, mean, rude and most of all, unfunny.
I wonder how many calories one burns whilst posting?
Where is Gazelle McKenzie?
I got a package in the mail today, but not a DVD.
This is an item I won off Ebay almost 8 weeks ago! Anyway, I finally got it today. And no mail mix-up. The seller was lazy as all get out and tried to make me think it had already been mailed. I knew better!
Well TPunk and I have been camping two or three times. By camping, I really mean staying in a tent.
Our friends family has a 4th of July gathering in their huge backyard up in Elmira. One is never far from the house to use good ol' indoor plumbing. We stayed a weekend at a Pennsylvania campsite a couple years back. Again, it was many campsites in close proximity and there were modern bathroom facilities. We brought coolers full of everything we needed, so it wasn't true camping. Still not something TPunk was crazy about.
And when a skunk came nosing around the sites, I wasn't too happy either.
Here is Miss Tammy Minoff along with Mr. Matthew Ashford.
Did you read A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANEY? SIMON BIRCH was "inspired" by it (or something like that) it's the whole story and much better than the movie
I did not read continuously through the year, mind you. The book is like 600 pages, and has many rewards. For TPunk's birthday in a couple weeks, I will complete this line of gifting by giving her a 5-page book report on the book.
I suppose we'll have to have dear reader Jane or dear reader Laura to hear about roughing it.
You shouldn't have to put your coat on to go to the bathroom for crying out loud!!
MBarnum which movie did you order from Netflix?

I have gotten very used to nice hotels through the meetings I go to every year. I like the ones with a tv in the bathroom and the separate shower and bath. I also like the government rate!
Hello DR Rodzinzki. No doubt you've read "Kess Of The D'Urbervilles". It would explain your flighty posts.
I spent a decent portion of my day reading JMK's Frances Farmer info. That sent me into an internet researching frenzy. Ever just get sucked into some topic like that, then it becomes like quicksand
Had a variable evening of enjoyment with the NBC comedies.
For those who don't know the film of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, I suspect this episode would have been baffling.
Thanks Tomovoz. Once again, you're there for me!OzDerek would have been right with you too Rodzinski.
OzDerek would have been right with you too Rodzinski.
I'll be away for 10 days from Tuesday next. I hope you can find a temporary replacement.

Anyone here know the great Roy Acuff song "The Great SPACKLE Bird"?A biblical reference from Jeremiah - or perhaps that is Jaremiah!
I want to see the film EBB TIDE.
Do I smell 170,000 posts?
Why, yes! Yes, I do!
Congrats to HainesHisWay.com!
Well, I detoured and ended up reading about an actress named Barbara Payton who apparently, if I had been alive in the 50s and crossed her path, I could have had sex with.
Ah yes, the beautiful and refined Barbara Payton! LOL! You must see her in BRIDE OF THE GORILLA! ;D
Actually, she was a pretty darn good actress for the most part and quite a looker.

Another 3 days before I head to even warmer places.
George - A number of DVD sets for TV series are missing some of the original music these days. It's not that they couldn't get the rights, they simply chose not to pay for them. I know all the season sets for Quantum Leap, other than the first 8-episode season, have this same problem. Many shows that used a lot of non-original music are sadly likely to share this fate.
