Well, you've read the notes, you know who loves you, baby, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently saying "Who moos you, baby."

And for those who like to be early birds, here is the blurb for the new Kritzerland release - and it's a goody. You know the drill - go directly to paypal.com and it's 19.98 plus 3.75 shipping payable to kritzerland at adephia dot net.
“IT’S A WORLD OF COPS AND ROBBERS…”
Kritzerland is proud to present its newest limited edition CD – the original motion picture soundtrack from Cops and Robbers, with a score by Michel Legrand.
Cops and Robbers was a well reviewed and received 1973 caper film starring Joseph Bologna and Cliff Gorman, written by the great Donald Westlake, and directed in off-handed improvisatory style by Aram Avakian.
Michel Legrand was hired to compose and conduct the score and he created a terrific and eclectic bunch of cues, some of them classic Legrand 70s funk, some pretty, some atonal and weird, and all wonderfully Legrandesque. However, the film’s director seemed to have something else in mind; seemingly he wanted the music to mostly function as part of the sound design – as source music, as pad, as everyday life, and not really as conventional film scoring. Save for only one or two cues, Legrand’s music always seems to be coming out of radios (the radio broadcasts seem to always be present), and the cues that might be considered score cues still almost function as source music in the film itself. While a soundtrack album was prepared at the time of the film’s release, it never came out, probably because if people had seen the film they would have found little need to purchase it, since so little of the music is heard – sometimes only a few seconds. But the album is fantastic, and it’s a shame the music wasn’t actually used more prominently in the film because it’s Legrand at his 70s best. The title song is infectious in the way Shaft’s title song is (with a similar-style vocal), and each track is completely it’s own musical picture. We’re thrilled to release what is basically an almost never-before-heard Legrand score.
Beautifully mastered for CD from the album masters, Cops and Robbers is a must-have for any film score aficionado or Legrand fan.
This release is limited to 1000 copies only. The price is $19.98 plus shipping.
CDs will ship the beginning of August – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier.

I'll be ordering this, but unfortunately, I won't be able to just yet. This month has become one of those months...financially. :-\

I would like to go the other way and change a Musical into a straight play. Something like My Fair Lady
-
Actual TOD
I think that the 7 Faces of Dr. Lao would make a great musical.
However because of the logistics I don't one actor can play all the parts.
But I think that BD Wong might do a great job as Lao
As for the composer I am not sure who I choose from today's batch but based on some scores that BK produced I think that
Flaherty/Ahern based on their writing for the Lucky Stiff score
or
Cohen (?) based on his writing for the No Way To Treat A Lady score
and I think even BK can take a crack at it,
-
And the word of the day is: CORVINE!

I Know It's been made into an opera but I think THE GREAT GATSBY would make a wonderful Musical.
Also one of my all time favorites(and the play is almost a great book for a musical already) Jean Anouilh's THIEVES CARNIVAL
-
This is it....this is my last post at HHW. That is just the way it must be.
Yes, I have thought about it long and hard, but there is no other way.
After all of these years and after all of these posts and the many good friends I have here at HHW, I am leaving.
MR BK - I think that not including me in the people you will take to New York when TFNM travels there is wrong and unthinking. I have supported TFNM for many years. I have the video, I bought the cd, and I read EVERY post you wrote about.
So...there it is.
-
I changed my mind, MR BK explained everything in the notes. I will be going to NYC with TFNM and am thrilled!
-
Just ordered COPS AND ROBBERS....I think it will probably be one of my "investment" CD's from Kritzerland.
-
Most interesting TOD:
And to begin with I will choose:
Beau Brummell - The Ultimate Man of Style
I would write the libretto myself - and the score would be by Tim Rice & Elton John, with special material by Bruce Kimmel.

Has The Royal Family been musicalized? If not I would love to see that made musical. I'm very much looking forward to the revival this fall by MTC.
-
Good morning, all! I believe that William Finn has worked on a musical version of THE ROYAL FAMILY.
DR ArnoldBrockman, I too love THIEVE'S CARNIVAL. When I was in college I played one of the two Dupont-Dufours (?), and I've always thought there was a very stylish musical there with a director like Gower Champion, and maybe even a score by Jerry Herman. Today, i'm not sure about a director, but I think Mr Skip Kennon could provide a lovely score.
Today, the doctor in about 45 minutes from now. My stomach's been acting up since yesterday and I probably need to have my lungs checked from all that crap I'm inhaling at the law office.

William Finn, of all people, took a crack at this property about ten(?) years ago.
Ya know, I have the demo of it but I don't think I ever listened to it. I might do that this morning and bring back a report.

That is very true. Now I'm sorry I mentioned my Ben Franklin/Merlin idea here yesterday.
I will not make that mistake with my idea of a movie about vampiric dinosaurs, that's for sure!

TOD:
I loved what was done with the book of UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE when making the movie version, and a musical based on that screenplay could be wonderful.
Jerry Herman could work up a tremendous comedy number for Henrietta Pasterfield as she explains her "traffic punctuation." Could be a Victor Borge-like comedy number that would be tremendous. (Kander and Ebb could have done it, too, but since we no longer have Mr. Ebb, I wouldn't suggest Kander alone.)

My work project today is the second season of BURN NOTICE on Blu-ray. I'm very eager to see how the show translates to 1080p imagery. There are 16 episodes, so it'll take me two days to do all the episodes and the bonus features. I hope to get at least 10 done today.

Wow, a first - not one order for a new Kritzerland title. I suspect when it goes live and have a chance to hear the samples that might change. No matter, though - Legrand is a favorite of mine and I'm thrilled to be doing it.

How weird - both DAW and Jrand placed orders, which did not show up in the mailbox where direct through paypal orders go. They're in the account and I've got them, but now I have to check and see why they didn't show up in the proper mailbox. The site orders are definitely showing up to the mailbox THOSE go to.

The UPS man just delivered the Blu-ray review copy of THE PINK PANTHER 2. I didn't see the first one, so I have no idea what I'll be in store for when I get to it on Friday. The rest of the week prior to that is already booked with review items.

That happens sometimes--there's some kind of lag on Twitter's part but eventually they go away if you block them.
Normally when I get a follower and I don't know who they are, I look at their profile. If they have a web address that is just a tinyurl, that's a sure sign that they are a spammer. Also, if they are following over a thousand people but have less than a hundred followers, that's a tip off, too. Also look at their tweets--if they seem on the genaric side like "I'm watching TV" or "Just ate lunch"--if there doesn't seem to be any kind of personality behind them--block their butts!

The price of gas in France
A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre.
After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings, and made it safely to his van.
However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas.
When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, 'Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings.'
I had no Monet.
To buy Degas.
To make the Van Gogh.'
See if you have De Gaulle to share this with someone else.
I share it with you because I figured I had nothing Toulouse.

DR George - Yep, Romeo and Juliet can be quite the long evening in the theatre. The trick is to make it not seem like a long evening in the theatre.

1. The homophobic psychodad, who tried to kill his son's boyfriend and who should be in prison, is back in the military under the name "Hasbro" (as in toys) not too far from the town where the soap takes place and, by some chance, is the liaison in his son's attempt to make a film about him. Oy!
2. Riley, who apparently isn't Riley but is apparently homeless, although for a soldier I suppose he could always go back to the base, is being blackmailed by psychodad to do his dirty work
3. Isn't someone in the miltary remotely aware of all this fraud/false identity? Where are the proper dog tags?
-

I see that the new John Abraham Bollywood movie NEW YORK is opening this weekend!
It is playing in Cornelius, Oregon which is a bit of a drive from Salem...but, I might go.
I have heard it is a very good, serious film. It is about 3 Indian/American college students in NY on 9/11, one of whom is mistakenly accused of being terrorist.
Here is the trailer (this is the movie filmed on location in Manhatten last year, DR Jose). It starts out all happy, but then turns rather grim. It looks really good.

Would DR's in the know here suggest that I use my optical audio cable with my Blu Ray player?
As opposed to what? Are you using the RCA red-white/stereo cables? Do you just have the HDMI hooked up to the TV and that's all you've been using?
The optical will give you a high bitrate Dolby Digital or DTS sound. It won't be the highest calibre of sound (the lossless codecs) because they're too bitheavy to be carried over the optical cable. Only HDMI into a receiver or 5.1 analog cables to the receiver can give you the highest level of sound.
The optical is the next best choice.

DR fjl, please ask your writer friend to assure you this idiocy is not theirs!
I recorded it but was too busy with my work project to watch it, and now I don't think I will. It's just too stupid to go along with.
I also recorded today's THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS since the Adam story looks to be getting interesting now. I may switch to that instead and let AS THE WORLD TURNS go by the boards for a while.
-
I watched last night's CROSSING THE BAR while I ate lunch. There was a gay bashing case in one of the storylines (Peter Paige was a guest star), so that was interesting.
It also came out that the judge being played by guest star John Michael Higgins is gay which will probably be used in some future plots.
-
Then, I watched the first four season 2 episodes of BURN NOTICE. Michael is trying to find out about the mysterious Carla who seems to know about his burn notice but isn't giving anything up to him. I don't quite remember how this running storyline plays out, so that's keeping my attention very well. The cases in each episode are almost always top notch.
-
I'm disappointed in the quality of the Blu-ray transfers. The color saturation is very rich, but there are so many soft focus shots; it barely looks better than regular upconverted DVD transfers. But then there is that occasional shot that knocks your socks off and lets you know you're watching high definition.
Still, I'm sure it's not the Blu-ray's fault. The show is filmed that way, but it still isn't in the same league with a transfer like LOST or SUPERNATURAL or MAD MEN on Blu-ray.
-
So far the only bonus features I've fiddled with is deleted scenes. There have been five thus far in the first four episodes. The discs have the deleted scenes paired with each episode they're removed from, so I see them as I go rather than finding them later all piled together in one place.
-
Did anyone watch Merlin? The writers have their own script of events, including Ben Franklin eye glasses during the time of Camelot.
-
I kind of feel bad for the S.C. governor. He just wanted to go for a hike, his biggest mistake seems that he hiked out of state instead of in state. I bet if he really needed to be found someone would have known where to look for him. For safety reasons I think it was best he kept it a secret.

I think that ROBOT MONSTER would make a perfectly fun musical.

NEW YORK is one of those rare Bollywood movies that has no musical numbers.
It does, however, had a completely nekkid John Abraham in custody.

We are back from seeing Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, which was quite silly, but fun. I loved Amy Adams as Amelia Earhart.

Jose, I made no comments that should have been surprising to anyone - I'm not exactly silent (as you well know) when I am not happy with something. The only person who apparently was bothered by not being in the list of people I'd take to NY was Alet. What she told me was a "flurry" of e-mails between cast members was exactly one e-mail shared between Barry Pearl, her, and one other person in the cast. So, it was, in fact, a tempest in a teapot and has more to do with Alet's insecurities than anything else. I've been very loyal to Alet and once we discussed it she understood that and the fact that nothing I write here should be taken to heart, because I frequently just write off the cuff and don't always complete thoughts. The cast members I was being negative about (and with good reason) all knew exactly how I felt, although they have not and probably never will read this site or the comments, which, of course, were non-specific and didn't use any names.

I'm done with errands and whatnot. And, best of all, I traipsed to Langer's for a pastrami sandwich.

I spent an hour on the phone with paypal but could not get past several idiots in India. The US tech support people are great, but it's now next to impossible to get yourself transfered to them, although I will try once again, later. So, we still don't know why the e-mails are not coming through. I did a test to both kritzerland at adelphia dot net and kritzerland at roadrunner dot com and both came through instantly, so we know it's not ME. It's them - something is going on but the people in India are complete and utter ninnies and don't know what they're talking about, nor do the supervisors in India - and no one would actually transfer me, save for the first supervisor, who was in the process of transferring me to tech support but instead cut me off.
-
Larry - re your post #92 - why? As long as you're watching, the writers are doing their job very well.
-
Just spoke to paypal tech support and as suspected it's a problem on their end. These idiots in India could have saved me a lot of wasted time by simply checking, but that apparently is beyond them. I'll be writing a letter of complaint about that situation.

NEW YORK is one of those rare Bollywood movies that has no musical numbers.
It does, however, had a completely nekkid John Abraham in custody.
If that's the case, I'm surprised you're not crawling over broken glass to see it!

I've got a request from the McGlinn family for email addresses for Teresa Stratas, Frederica von Stade, Roberta Peters, and David Garrison. None of them are in my address book, so I'm working on it.
-
The one thing I've learned as a writer...good ideas are at a premium, so keep them to yourself, lest someone steal them. Therefore, I will not be offering any ideas for converting anything into a musical.
Oh I agree. A few years ago, when this question was posed, I was fool enough to mention Edna Ferber's GIANT. And what just played at the Signature? So, naturally, I do blame Jose.

I see that the new John Abraham Bollywood movie NEW YORK is opening this weekend!
It is playing in Cornelius, Oregon which is a bit of a drive from Salem...but, I might go.
I have heard it is a very good, serious film. It is about 3 Indian/American college students in NY on 9/11, one of whom is mistakenly accused of being terrorist.
Here is the trailer (this is the movie filmed on location in Manhatten last year, DR Jose). It starts out all happy, but then turns rather grim. It looks really good.

These damn actors today! I could hardly understand a word any of them said in that trailer............
Still, I might go see it for the nude prison scene!

Good Evening!
Believe it or not, but I don't think it's rained here in NYC for the past 12 hours. Of course, the skies are clouding up now, and the breeze is picking up, and it's looking a little ominous in some parts of the sky, so... Blame me.
-
DR MBarnum - I take it you've already tracked down the screen caps of the "nekkid" Mr. Abraham?
*If so, you have my mail address, don't you? ::)

I ended up making another trip down to Academy Records a few hours ago, and it turned out to be quite a bit more profitable than I expected. Twice as much as I expected. :)
I've done quite a bit of whittling down, but I think I'll make one or two more passes of my collection to see what I can and can't part with.
*A good chunk of today's profit came from a bunch of DVDs that I "found" last night. I decided to check through some boxes o' stuff that are stored under my bed. I opened one box that probably hasn't been opened in about two - possibly three - years, and there were a bunch of DVDs in there that were still "brand new" - wrapped and with their price tags on them. I didn't even think twice about putting them in the "sell" pile.
-
Oh boy! Oh boy! BOY AND THE PIRATES shipped today!!!!
-
*And once I'm done "editing" my collection, then I can think about what new releases - and old releases - I would like to buy. I don't think I've made any major CD or DVD purchases over the past three or four months.
But it sure is nice knowing that I've listened to most of what's remaining on my shelves, and that I've been able to clear out a slew of "one listens" and "no listens".

So here's today's logic-defying idiocy on AS THE WORLD TURNS:
1. The homophobic psychodad, who tried to kill his son's boyfriend and who should be in prison, is back in the military under the name "Hasbro" (as in toys) not too far from the town where the soap takes place and, by some chance, is the liaison in his son's attempt to make a film about him. Oy!
2. Riley, who apparently isn't Riley but is apparently homeless, although for a soldier I suppose he could always go back to the base, is being blackmailed by psychodad to do his dirty work
3. Isn't someone in the miltary remotely aware of all this fraud/false identity? Where are the proper dog tags?
DR fjl, please ask your writer friend to assure you this idiocy is not theirs!
I recorded it but was too busy with my work project to watch it, and now I don't think I will. It's just too stupid to go along with.
I also recorded today's THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS since the Adam story looks to be getting interesting now. I may switch to that instead and let AS THE WORLD TURNS go by the boards for a while.
And from what I understand, due to various contract negotiations and disputes, it looks like some new actors will be taking over some of the roles involved in that scheme just as it starts to come to a head.

"Books we're writing or would like to write? Do books of musicals count? If so, and I can say this because I've already shown the work in progress to so many people, I'm writing a horror-spoof musical with the tentative title DON'T LET THE DEAD BUGS BITE, about a slew of mysterious deaths of exterminators in a big city which are being traced to people who seem to be reincarnations of bugs that have been juiced. As a musical, it's meant to be campy fun, but I'm getting feedback that it's more suited to a real horror film with traces of humor."
I began describing this piece to someone recently, and was told that the plot was extremely similar to the plot of the musical BEDBUGS which played at NYMF in 2008.

Yes, one must be careful with ideas. I, for one, have a great idea but if I mention it won't somebody come steal it? Briefly, it's about a man who steals a loaf of bread and is hounded by an obsessive policeman. I call it The Man Who Steals A Loaf Of Bread And Is Hounded By An Obsessive Policeman, a long musical in two acts. I swear, if anyone and I mean ANYONE steals this idea they will be MISERABLE.

I'm watching Potter III and am not quite loving it.

Well, I'm off to our last rehearsal without an audience! Tomorrow, we can invite friends to see the show for free...but they have to get there VERY early. I don't doubt that it'll be packed. Free (even Shakespeare) is an incentive. :D
Until later!

After looking at many samples and changing my mind over and over, I made a decision and ordered some new countertops today. With the discount for installation, and a free sink, the Staron was actually less that the high quality laminate. So, I went for it....and got a new garbage disposal and faucets too. The countertops are "sanded gold dust" and the sink is ivory.
I thought I was going to get a dark color, but realized this morning that it would make the room seem darker than I want it to, so I got the gold dust. Plus the Sanded Gold Dust was much cheaper than the darker colors...a real plus
-
The nicest thing is they will go with my cupboards and the floor. I don't like the floor, but it's in good shape, so I can keep it for the immediate future. That's a good thing.

It sounds wonderful, Cillaliz. I wanted to redo my countertops this year, but, alas, it won't happen.

No, not really. I have samples but I don't think they will photograph too well. It's a light color with specks of brown etc. I currently have the brightest yellow laminate known to man

Patti is hard to take sometimes - even when she's 100% right.

I always liked Johnny Mathis. But I'm not sure I have more than one or two of his albums here.

I attempted to watch THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS when I went back down, but the President had a news conference at 12:30 today, so the show was completely preempted. I set the DVR to record the broadcast on Soapnet in case it was shown in the West. We'll see if it was broadcast tomorrow.
-
Lovely counter tops they will be DR CILLA LIZ.
I have many Johnny Mathis albums from the Columbia years, and a few from the Mercury years, but they certainly don't reach the heights of the others.
My favorite is Johnny Mathis on Broadway....singing "Small World" and "If I Had My Druthers" and many other lovely tunes.....including "You Are Beautiful."

I watched six more episodes of BURN NOTICE making a grand total of 10 episodes watched today. I was pleased that I got that much done. That ;eaves six more to watch tomorrow.

DR MATTH I am using an HDMI cable to the TV, but the R/W cables to my RCA surround system....so it sounds like I am probably doing the best I can at the moment, without a new surround system.
-
Rehearsal was very nice tonight.....we did "Aldonza" with the muleteers and "I'm Only Thinking of Him" with the priest, the niece, the housekeeper, and Dr Carrasco.....
-
Two of the episodes had audio commentaries, and the first one had SIX participants, so there was a lot of joke making and laughing. The other was much more interesting in an episode directed by Tim Matheson. He was also part of the commentary.
-
That's not just yellow, it is YELLOW!!!
I had to take a photo to Home Depot. I don't think they believed it when I described it. i am ready for a more normal color. The samples you posted are the right ones, but the photos don't quite do it justice

If you have an open optical connection on your receiver and it isn't in use, I'd use it. Does your Blu-ray player have a coaxial out jack as well as an optical out jack or just optical?

After it's installed I get some samples for the back splash. It's just impossible to get an idea of what anything will look like with all that yellow

I'm supposed to get a call from the fabricators/installers in the next two days. They will come and make a template and then it's supposed to take 3 weeks to get to the install. The installation of everything is supposed to only take one day. I hope they are right.

Rehearsal was very nice tonight.....we did "Aldonza" with the muleteers and "I'm Only Thinking of Him" with the priest, the niece, the housekeeper, and Dr Carrasco.....
I played Dr. Carasco when I did MAN OF LA MANCHA, and that number is really that character's only musical moment in the spotlight. Of course, I really wanted (and was right for) the Innkeeper, but the idiot director cast a TENOR in the role, and he struggled mightily with his big song.

I was also able to watch one bonus featurette on disc two - a 13 minute behind the scenes look at the production of episode 10 directed by the show's creator Matt Nix.

Coaxial and optical send the same signal, just in different ways. I've never been able to tell any difference at all in the sound or one or another. No need for a special cable. Just use the red ends from your W/R RCA cable (let the white dangle off to the side), and they will work just fine. If you don't want them to dangle, unattach them.

I'm going to head downstairs now and go to bed. I stayed up way too late last night (which is why I overslept this morning), and maybe I'll rest more soundly if I cut out the light earlier.
Good night!

The consolation is that having the idea date-stamped on this site in August 2005 means I have proof that i didn't steal THEIR idea. Their site says they didn't come up with their idea until 2007.
From their site bedbugsmusical.com (The "Fred" in this description is not me, of course :) )
"The Birth of Bedbugs!!!
We met in March 2007 (thanks to Castrato DiMatteo for introducing us) and wanted to write a small, fun show to find out how well we would work together. Paul had previously written the music for “Twist” (for which he received a Drama Desk nomination) and Fred had recently received his MFA from the NYU Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program where he studied book and lyric writing.
After bonding over our mutual love of rock music, camp films and a natural tendency toward dark humor, Fred suggested a silly idea about scabies (inspired by a horrible incident in Baltimore) and Paul suggested bedbugs, as New York City was (and is still) dealing with their comeback invasion. For those who are not aware, bedbugs were eradicated from most of the world with the use of DDT after WWII, but suddenly—as of the early 2000’s—are back with a vengeance. This is true! Thus we developed a plot around a female exterminator who, in an effort to annihilate them, accidentally makes the problem much, much worse…
We wrote the first draft in six months and in November ‘07 had a reading of what had now become a full-length show (thanks for the awesome feedback everyone, especially Josh Wellman!) After a phase of rewrites we submitted and in April ‘08 were accepted into the New York Musical Theatre Festival. With a team of highly talented and devoted people, we took the 2008 NYMF by storm, selling out the run, adding performances, getting fantastic reviews and some awards. Since then we have continued development of this crazy little show and can’t wait to see it’s next incarnation later in 2009!"
-
Thanks DR MATTH I will try that.....so it will give me better sound than using the R/W in their regular spots?
-
Bugs!
I don't know what's wrong with these bugs today.
Bugs!
They come back even though we spray and spray.
Why won't it work like Raid did?
What's wrong with DDT?
Why won't it kill these bugs

Charles Pogue, the technology editor for the NY Times - as opposed to DR Charles Pogue - has been asking a "Question of the Day" each day for the past couple of weeks. He's been compiling the answers for inclusion in his upcoming book, "The World According To Twitter". One of my answers to one his questions made the final cut.

If so, it may be the very same David Pogue who was music director and pianist for the wonderful FLORA THE RED MENACE revival in the late 1980's.

I miss this place.
This stuff when someone passes away, is too much. I was not prepared at all, only one small apt., only one car, but it's taking a full 3 weeks no matter how I try.
Friday night I'll be done and out of Burbank, the landlord threatened me on the phone, so I went straight to the police dept., and the sheriff's dept. in Burbank with the situation. Both were really helpful, the old timer's in Burbank are great.
If I had money, I would have just gone after her. But money I don't, so I couldn't.
And why is it bank policy not to ask who you want down as beneficiary when you open an account. Even the accounts I have at BofA never asked, so I fixed that too. Hopefully my daughter will have it a little easier.
-
The sheriff's dept., did say that after I turn in the keys, just let it go, a jerk is a jerk.
-
So, hopefully Friday night when I get home, I will be able to have a big cup of coffee and catch up the best I can. Seems I'm missing a lot of drama around here.
Till then, pleasant Wednesday, happy Thursday, great Friday.
;) ;)
-
Good night all.

DR Sam - so sorry you're having to deal with all of that.
