I'm very full from CHICKEN. Craig tells me we had a very nice first day at the DVD site and we haven't even posted about it anywhere really.

If td is the good twin you must be absolutely, positively evil beyond redemption. Then again now that td has the status of a god there may be some glimmer of hope.

Dear BK (and DR Charles Pogue): I finally got around to reading your column at DVDPlace, and have a question: Wasn't gray-scale part of the make-up process used on Sean Connery in Dragonheart?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #333 on:** January 08, 2004, 10:08:03 PM »

Well, BK - What kind of CHICKEN did you sup on? Fried, sauteed, fricaseed, paprikash-ed, stewed, baked, roasted, broiled, etc.?

No wonder I can't sleep. My twin is up and posting! Hello all.

Where else would you expect your twin to be at this hour? ?
I'm becoming an honorary Washingtonian, or Aussie. . .one or the other.
Or I am just doing time in OZ? ? ?

Many of the figure skating moves were named for the people who invented them, much like melba toast was named for Nellie Melba or a sandwich being named for the Earl of Sandwich.

Had a long day. Daughter off for Mexico in the morning. Me off to bed with a book tonight. You'll have to frenzy without me tonight, sweethearts.

Sauteed chicken with mushrooms and onions. Yummiliscious. I see Panni is up to her usual BUSY "you'll have to do this without me" thing. With you or without, a frenzy we will have. Damn them, damn them all to hell.

I thought Mike Henry was the handsomest Tarzan, too, unless Denny Miller beat him out, but Johnny Weissmuller's series were my favorites as far as the adventures and films themselves were concerned.

I really don't buy that "canceling each other out" stuff, especially at the Tonys. Lots of people from the same shows are nominated and one manages to win. Case in point, last year three ladies from NINE were in the supporting category and one managed to win. Three supporting actors from THE PRODUCERS were up and one managed to win. Two lead actors from THE PRODUCERS were up and one managed to win.

I think people nowadays vote for the person and not the show. Maybe I'm naive, but I do really believe it works that way now.

Enjoyed watching the national figure skating short programs tonight. Matt Savoie and Johnny Weir skated clean and entertaining programs on the men's side, and Sasha Cohen, Michelle Kwan, Jenny Kirk, Angela Nikodinov, and Amber Corwin all did well on the ladies' side. Finals on Saturday.

As for poor Timothy Goebel, he may have reached his zenith in years past. No chance to go to the worlds this year (unless the USFSA decides to place him on the team - highly doubtful after tonight's performance; he finished 10th missing every jump he tried.)

What happened to our frenzy? Still and all and also all and still - we're havin' a fre. You've got a fre in me. It must be because Panni is BUSY.

Matt H. · « **Reply #342 on:** January 08, 2004, 10:32:54 PM »

It is VERY late here on the East Coast, so I'm headed for bed. Perhaps DR Ron will weigh in with his opinions on the skating tonight or tomorrow.

Jed · « **Reply #343 on:** January 08, 2004, 10:33:12 PM »

Congratulation, folks! We have now averaged 300 posts over the last 7 days! We've gotta be on our way to becoming the most popular site on all the internet, don't we, Bruce?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #344 on:** January 08, 2004, 10:37:09 PM »

DR MattH - I wasn't implying that "cancelling each other out" was a negative in this situation. Just that both actresses have their fans, and it's very possible that they could "divide" the Wicked votes... In the end some ONE has to win. And, who knows? -ties are possible too.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #345 on:** January 08, 2004, 10:58:37 PM »

I thought my internet provider had deserted me for a while. I has inadvertently pulled the phone line out of its socket. These "Senior's moments" are becoming too regular. Now that I know what "Oz" also means "You could be so lucky td!". Washington has more than charm to offer and more than snow. There may have even be snow in the far South Western part of Washington yesterday. I am proud to be an honoury Washingtonian. I was granted honoury Oregonian citizenship yesterday (thanks to JMK) - now I need to see if I can hold dual citizenship of whether I can have a NW certification that covers all.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #346 on:** January 08, 2004, 11:00:16 PM »

I am become addicted to "Wicked". At last a chance to really listen to the score. This could be my favourite new score in years - maybe since "Kiss Of the Spider Woman".

But then it's not the fans who vote. It's assumed (but we know what can mean) the people who vote will chose someone because of their talent and skill as a performer, not whether or not they like the person.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #348 on:** January 08, 2004, 11:03:21 PM »

What an interesting idea George. Talent and skill. Perhaps they could introduce that in Movie awards.

George · « **Reply #349 on:** January 08, 2004, 11:05:04 PM »

There's always hope!

Quote from: Jay on January 08, 2004, 08:42:55 PM

A question for Dear Readers, even though it is not Wednesday and Ask Dear Reader Day: I have an opportunity to see a one-night-only performance of I'm Getting My Act Together And Taking It On The Road, starring Sharon Lawrence. I am unfamiliar with the play as well as the artist. Is this something I want/need to see?

I have to admit that I have the original cast album but I've never listened to it. I have heard a couple of songs from it..."Old Friend" being the one that has probably been recorded the most. I've always thought (more so when I was younger) that the picture on the cover is kinda weird. Maybe that's why I haven't listened to it:

Other than that, if I remember correctly (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong), Sharon Lawrence was originally supposed to play Lili Vanessi in the revival of Kiss Me, Kate with Brian Stokes Mitchell but didn't when she got her sitcom (which didn't last very long...although I really liked it) so they got Marin Mazzie to play Lili. (Sound familiar? Can we say Kristen Chenoweth in Millie? Although she hasn't done too bad for herself since!)

Sharon had a variety special on TV and she was very good. I really would have liked to have seen her in KM,K (but I'm glad that I saw Marin). She has a real strong belt voice and has Broadway credits:

According to www.ibdb.com, Sharon played Tzeitel in the 1990 revival of Fiddler On the Roof with Topol, was in Chicago as a later "star" replacement and was a Kit Kat Girl (and others) in the 1987 revival of Cabaret with Joel Grey, Gregg Edelman and Alyson Reed.

I feel confident that soon we will be the most popular site on all the Internet, even if we didn't quite achieve our posting frenzy tonight. Of course, there's still fifty minutes left, and a post a minute would just about...

Jason · « **Reply #352 on:** January 08, 2004, 11:13:01 PM »

Tonight I got a copy of LIZZIE BORDEN starring our very own Ms. Allison Fraser. This is my first listen and I'm not quite sure what my thoughts are yet. It's so radically different from WICKED, which is what I've been marinating in for the last few weeks, that I'm suffering from genre shock.

Overall, I think I'm enjoying it.

I also got CLUE on DVD. YAY! I'm going to watch it tomorrow night. (Can you tell it was payday at BOTH jobs? I went shopping at Tower...

)

bk · « **Reply #353 on:** January 08, 2004, 11:13:36 PM »

Well, unless some posting miracle were to occur we definitely won't reach 18,000 posts today, even though we gave it the old college try and came very close. However, we will definitely reach it tomorrow and in amazing record time.

Jed · « **Reply #354 on:** January 08, 2004, 11:15:16 PM »

I, too, am very much enjoying Wicked, which I just got earlier this week, but I've found that I more often find myself playing (or humming all day) Avenue Q, which I also got just the other day.

Jed · « **Reply #355 on:** January 08, 2004, 11:18:14 PM »

Oh, and after having fried chicken for lunch, I had chicken tacos for dinner. HHW is slowly taking over my life!!!

The tacos were quite tasty.

If I keep going with shorter posts like this, I could reach God-dom very early next week! Only 48 posts to go!

bk · « **Reply #356 on:** January 08, 2004, 11:19:16 PM »

Only forty-eight posts left? Hell, you can do that tonight!

bk · « **Reply #357 on:** January 08, 2004, 11:19:38 PM »

On your Mark Bakalor, get set, GO!

bk · « **Reply #358 on:** January 08, 2004, 11:20:02 PM »

I see the beach babe is here - but she ain't posting.

George · « **Reply #359 on:** January 08, 2004, 11:20:45 PM »

I'm afraid that I won't be adding to the (potential) posting frenzy. I'm off to bed.
