Haines His Way

And I think the HHW folks who go to the New York Musicals Festival should all go to the underpants musical. Just because.

And I think the HHW folks who go to the New York Musicals Festival should all go to Such Good Friends. Just a suggestion.

Well, I'll send my gnome roommate who leaves every light on in the apartment with his air conditioner running with the doors and windows open and we'll see what your bill turns out to be. He's an idiot. And a new member of Actor's Equity. (He bought his way into the union through a lesser-known sister union, so I don't really consider him to be a member of AEA. Not that I'm bitter or anything... Besides, it's not like he's actually gotten a union job yet...cause he has no talent. What? Did I say that??).

Not at all Jason...

 I believe we have met before Jason...

Welcome back!

Hello MissKaren!

This was from an unused Ellery Queen (Jim Hutton) script, with Robert Vaughn taking the Simon Brimmer/John Hillerman role.

Makes sense since he (Vaughn) was totally shown up. That script must have been sitting around a LONG, LONG time since ELLERY QUEEN was a 1975-76 series. BTW, ELLERY QUEEN (the Jim Hutton version) was my all-time favorite mystery series, and I'm heartbroken Universal hasn't seen fit to package these shows into a DVD box.

A nippy, nipply, 108 Degrees in the Shade Dance for Page 5 ...

She would downright freeze up here... ;-)

Well, I believe I'm going to head to bed, which is a good thing since I'm already sleepy.  And I actually think I'm going to attend "class" tomorrow morning, so...

Goodnight.

Good night Mr S

I am afraid I must to bed myself, 6:30 will be here before I know it....


VIBE and HUGS to all!!!

ane Seymour has always been a favorite of mine...

I have always liked her

The Holiday Inn in Fairmont, MN is closed for renovation [can you imagine what it looked like BEFORE?], so we are staying at the lovely Comfort Inn.  I think I see a cow out the window...    

If it is the same one owned by the people in Alexandria, you do not want to know...

I had a situation today that bothers me, and I'm not sure of the outcome here: are radio and tv broadcasts copyrighted? Are all these items on Youtube and rapidshare kosher or a violation?  Someone has downloaded the complete BBC broadcast of Cole Porter's JUBILEE onto rapidshare, and I alerted the Cole Porter Musical and Literary Trust to it. They're with a large lawfirm and if they want to pursue the matter, I'm all for it.

If and when I pass around CDs of JUBILEE, I've got an edited set of discs in which I can remove all of the falsehoods in the announcer's introduction but the fact that a complete broadcast with lies concerning my involvement is out and about for anyone to download bothers me.  It's my career and my work being affected and I feel duty bound to protect myself since Ian Marshall Fisher and his London team didn't.

So, is this a copyright violation or is the attitude that tv and radio broadcasts are Public Domain?

Off the top of my head.... There are grey areas in the copyright laws

Yes, they are acopyrighted. However some broadcasts from britian will be loosing copyright and this will happen with the some of the Beatles and Rolling Stones stuff.

In the US it is 125 years after.

Oh, and I'm not a raving Socialist---just somewhere between a Socialist and a capitalist.

But you are completely misguided calling me a "skirt-wearer"!

Well, I'm not a raving Capitalist - my Republican's friends on the right think I'm a raving Progressive (or worse).

Noting that I am "misguided" will not make the news

And for the "skirt-wearer" issue, I claim poetic license to help make the metaphors work. Should you in slacks and I in a kilt approach the Restaurant restrooms, I suspect we will both find a way to reconcile the apparent conflict between our garb and the symbols on the doors.

I think it would be fun if we went to dinner as attired above, and strictly observed the signage - you take the pants, I'll take the skirt, and Cillaliz can take our case

My whole issue with Youtube myspace etc is the invasion of people's rights to original material etc.  But then I have mixed moral issues re copying music. I support downloads from the internet - if they are paid for.  I will copy music myself (I've at least purchased it) for others - but in most cases only when people could not get the material easily otherwise.

I have that whole hypocracy of I'll accept copied times obtained through non legitmate means but will certainly not buy pirated music or DVDs. On the other hand I'll copy some DVDs (not sell) for friends with whom I wish to share the pleasure of the film. (in most cases the source material is not readily available in OZ).  Confusing but there are just so many shades of grey and gray.

I have no issue with sharing stuff but what gets my goat is people on some soapboards selling complete episodes of different soaps for 25 bucks a vhs tape, not just edits but the complete show and from what I understand that is a violation of copyhright.

I have no issue with sharing.

Hi Dr StringDip ..... are you still in the Minneapolis area ?

Well, I still think I'd like to see his po-po, and maybe even his hee-hah.  

Well I hope you wouldn't hee-hee at his po-po, nor poo-poo and his hee-hah - that would be unseemly!
