Well, I just sampled my first (and second, naturally) of DR Jane's Sour Cream Cookies. They do definitely resemble snickerdoodles in appearance, but I wouldn't think anyone would mistake them after tasting. Also, they're not as dense as any snickerdoodles I've had over the years. A very nice, simple cookie. Not a whole lot to it, but quite pleasant. I can see them going very well as an accompaniment to some nice fresh fruit, perhaps.

Very windy here in Los Angeles, California. Will settle in for a long night of DVD watching. Picked up Divorce American Style and an early copy of The Front.

We'll have two new Unseemly Interviews coming very soon, and also some new Juliana's Journal entries.

TCB That sounds like a fun event! If nothing comes up to prevent me, I think I shall attend. However, I'll have to check the dates, but I THINK that's around the time that Pirates of Penzance opens at UPS...and I happen to be in the cast, so I might be otherwise occupied

UPS? I rather have FEDEX

That is true DRMichael Shayne - but I don't think the US is one of them.

Yes. I believe you can sue in the Provice of Quebec, Canada, but not any of the other provinces. If I remember correctly the biography of Errol Flynn that said he was a Nazi had a trial in Quebec because of what the book said. England has a very strong libel law.

Well, DR TCB, it's a little bit apples and oranges. While A STAR IS BORN was a remake, it was a musical remake of a non-musical film. Adding songs to an established source is a viable reason for remaking something. So many of our great stage and screen musicals did this.

This is a person (Leslie Bricusse) who was largely responsible for producing one film remaking the story (which has been remade to death) using the same basic material with some additions. Not quite the same thing.

Ah, I see MattH! Turning a non-musical into a musical is not considered a remake, even though they call it a remake, and that is considered acceptable. That must be what made Lost Horizon - The Musical is such a great film!

Try freezing a couple, and see if you like them better frozen.

Wow, is OZ really that violent? Hmmm...I was thinking about renting the series on DVD but I don't fair to well with graphically violent shows...I just thought it was about loving prisoners!

Well, I couldn't even describe the violence without making this an NC-17 website. After seeing a particularly brutal scene, I felt personally assaulted. No doubt this was the intention of the show, but if you get upset with seriously graphic violence, it might be better to take a pass on this trip to Oz.

No, DR MBarnum. While it has some of that, it is very violent and unpredictable. Better to let me inundate you with pics from the series (privately for there is considerable nudity) that you'd no doubt enjoy.

Could you also maybe privately e-mail to some other interested folks?

It is to Jackson's (et al) credit that Mr. Townsend remains nameless on the dvds whenever they speak about Viggo replacing "another actor." That's tact, and that's style.

I remember reading something last year that specified Mr. Townsend as the replaced actor, but it said that the reason was that after they started filming, Peter Jackson felt that Stuart Townsend was just too young to play the part. The character is supposed to have been around the block and basically Townsend wasn't.

Evening all!

I've been looking at all the recipes we have on the board and was wondering if we should maybe either have a all recipe topic/folder. It would be nice to be able to get to them without going through tons of posts. I know there’s the search feature but it I think it would be faster and easier if they were just together.

If I ever say anything to anyone that hurts them, please let me know. It is never my intent.

And what I say is not a matter of fact.

I finished reading Benjamin Kritzer yesterday. I honestly enjoyed it and I did feel sad for Benjamin at the end.

It was a little before my time but it brought back a lot memories of my own childhood.

I'm watching THE FULLER BRUSH GIRL with Lucille Ball and Eddie Albert....so funny. This was one of my summer time movies. WTTV Channel Four during the summer - would show a movie the SAME movie at 10 am and 10 pm Mon-Fri!!!

I would be sure to watch the movie at 10 am on Monday morning and if it was good, I could see it 10 times in five days. This was a keeper. I also saw ALL the Ginger Rogers - Fred Astaires, "King Kong", and a lot of Katharine Hepburn movies this way!!!

This article was posted on Playbill.com today:
Herman Says Broadway Mame Will Blow Her Horn in 2005-06, Prior to TV Movie

The best news in the article (in my opinion--IMO in Internet lingo) are these lines:

Reports about Cher starring in a TV movie musical of Mame this year are also premature, he said.

"That's sort of on hold, the TV movie," Herman explained. "I think we all want to do it legitimately one more time and then we'll worry about filming it. I want to see it on the stage again."

I'm sorry, but I just don't want to imagine Cher as Mame. I think that she is a good actress, but she ain't no Mame.

Okay, here's an Ask BK and DR Question for the day:

I have both the audio CD and DVD of Elaine Stritch At Liberty. What I'd like to know is (mainly because I'm lazy and don't want to do it myself) what are differences between the two? Obviously, they were preserved in their respective forms of media at different performances, but how much is relatively the same and which sections are different? Has anyone compared? Has anyone taken the time to make an audio recording of the DVD and combine it with the CD to make one big giant complete version? Does anybody care? (a 1776 reference.) Just curious.

I must send this to my son's girlfriend. When she was here over the holidays I kept telling her not to use the dish towel as it might catch on fire. She would switch to the pot holder while giving me one of those "oh sure" looks. Thanks for vindicating me.

I'm already 45 pages into Kritzerland.

I always look at the page number just before I quit so I know where to start back at. People say, "Use a bookmark!" but I never do. If you can't remember the page number or what you've already read, how can you say your enjoying the book?

How about my recipe idea?

Listening to the score of THE BLACK SWAN, a complimentary CD sent to me by my pal, historian Rudy Behlmer, for having put him in touch with the recognized expert on all things Sabatini, Jesse Knight, for some background material. I also noticed that the dust jacket cover that Rudy used for the article in the booklet is from the copy of my dust jacket that I xeroxed for Rudy. I recognized the old tape mark over the "e" and "l" on Rafael.

I also noticed that this album was produced by our very own Mr. Nick Redman. Sounds quite smashing. Nice job, Nick!
