Ok, ok, you people have forced me to put THE MUSIC MAN into my NETFLIX queue.

Did you select the Robert Preston one or the Matthew Broderick one? Both are available on DVD.

Dustin Hoffman-
I had kind of written him off, but thought he was great in I HEART HUCKABEES.

I like him in several older movies, but am always surprised at how much of his dialogue has to be dubbed in.

Hey, Marni Nixon can do just about anything!!!

Then I put in LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: THE CRADLE OF LIFE.

It IS a better film than the first one. Silly, it's an empty-headed adventure, but popcorn movies are just fine sometimes, and this one has action to burn. That amazing shot of Jolie and Gerard Butler (and their doubles) jumping off a building in those gliding suits is simply amazing. Too bad this film isn't on Blu-ray (the first one is). I'll bet some of these shots and stunts would look amazing in HD.

I only got 70 minutes in, so there's more to come.

Was Sarah Jessica Parker playing Annie when the show closed in January, 1983? If so, DH Richard and I might have seen her, and Harve Presnell (be still, my heart) as Daddy Warbucks, when we were in NYC for the week between Christmas 1982 and New Year's 1983. Unfortunately, I cannot find my Playbills from the 8 shows we saw in those 7 days, so cannot verify my hunch.

I thought I remembered a second Hardy mystery from THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB, but in talking with someone yesterday about it, I talked myself out of it saying that maybe I was confusing it with the second SPIN & MARTY serial.

Anyway, I'm hoping Disney will release this one in another year or so. I'd love to have both of them.

Well, I demand that Disney release ANNETTE first! I haz spoken!!

DR Cillaliz: Every time I've ever met someone from Iowa I've always told them I've never been there but that I've heard so much about it that there are several places I'd like to visit.

Inevitably, the person will ask, "Where"?

And I reply:

"Oh...Dubuqe, Des Moines, Davenport, Mashalltown, Mason City, Keokuk, Ames, Clear Lake...yes, I'd like to give Iowa a try."

More often than not, I'll get a smile and a chuckle. But there is the occasional glassy-eyed stare.

When it's performed in local productions, this line is almost always changed to the towns in the area...it's a cheesy thing to do, but done a lot.

Come on over Ron, you can have the fill of all the food you bring yourself

Didnt PBS do a recording of Annie with Sarah Jessica Parker? I vaguely remember seeing a taped stage version one time many moons ago

FJL · « **Reply #464 on:** January 07, 2007, 01:43:25 PM »

Does anyone remember the series of Annette Funicello LPs that went by the name HAWAIIANNETTE, ITALIANNETTE and such.

I smile just thinking about them.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #465 on:** January 07, 2007, 01:43:50 PM »

Matthew Broderick just does not have that spark and magic that Robert Preston has.

Back from the jog.

The Matthew Broderick Music Man is one of the ten worst TV or movie movies I've ever seen. He was terrible - you wouldn't buy a pencil from his Harold Hill, let alone think he was by-God spellbinder. His delivery of Ya Got Trouble was about as bad as it gets. And Chenoweth was terrible, too - a little pipsqueak Marian. Victor Garber as Mayor Shinn. That was about as funny as a colonoscopy.

I don't know that we've ever had a day with this many postings this EARLY. If we keep up this pace, it will definitely be a top five day.

DR MBarnum, you're not a Shirley Jones fan, so I doubt you'll ever watch the complete film. I'm taking a break with the end of Act One of the film. The library dance is so wonderful!

I saw Andrea McArdle as Annie when it previewed in Washington DC.

Well, duh! Who doesn't? The Matthew Broderick version should be sold in rolls in your grocery's toilet paper aisle.

I don't dislike Shirley Jones, I just didin't think she was so great in Carousel and Oklahoma. It is Robert Preston who I used to not like as much...but I saw him recently on WHAT'S MY LINE or some such old game show and he was so funny and charming that I changed my mind about him.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #477 on:** January 07, 2007, 01:52:31 PM »

There's something so rare about the Iowa way we greet you, if we greet you, which we may not do at all.

When Shirley Jones got to "Being in Love," and I do prefer "My White Knight" in its various permutations, I thought about the story of Meredith Willson's mother in his book on the show (Why isn't that great book in print?) BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW THE TERRITORY.
