It's so weird to me that we read a lot of the same stuff yet you think this and i think the opposite.

I believe that april would 100% vote for maggie. And so would janelle and rachel (remember how much she said she hated iv at sequester).

Beau would vote for ivette and so would james. Howie i am not sure about. And i think jen would vote for maggie but not positive.

I think mags would definitely win vs. Ivette.I don't think Janelle can win against Maggie. Because April/Beau/Ivette/Jen would guarantee her win. The only one who might be iffy is april. But she loves maggie and would vote for her.

Beau, James, Howie and Rachel would all pick Ivette over Maggie.

Maggie's only support base right now consists of Jennifer and April, in my opinion.

Howie, Rachel and James LOATHE Maggie.

Of course, I COULD be wrong.

But that's the way I see it now.

April has said she won't vote for Ivette. And she has said her vote will go the person who has played the best game and played with her heart.

And that's Janelle more than any of the other two.

But I may be giving April too much credit for her turnabout in thinking that she wasn't playing her gut but doing what she was told to do. Both Ivette and Maggie were doing all the telling and checking-up-on and chastising. I'd think April would resent that and, despite "loving" Maggie, would vote for the better player (Ivette or Janelle).

I did not know that. I only knew about your former life as a teacher. How does one become film critic? For that matter how does one become a food critic? Or theatre critic?

I can't answer for anyone else but in my case it was having a pretty wide range of knowledge about film and filmmakers, submitting samples to a local newspaper syndicate, and getting hired. I was there for 16 years - three columns a week. (I did this in addition to teaching full time AND doing the occasional part in a play. Ah, the joys of youth!). I was two years with a local free paper and then seven years with a news service.

When I got cast in FOREVER PLAID knowing we were going to be touring the show on weekends for a long time, I left that job and haven't written full-time since.

Get your hands on which?? J. Edgar or Falsettos?

I have WOMAN OF THE YEAR on CD, but I suspect it's out of print now. It was issued early in the CD era.

Shhh...don't tell anyone, but a friend of mine gave me a copy of the tour cast with Lauren.

I haven't actively pursued it. Retirement seems to suit me, but then, no one's been beating down my door with offers either!

J Edgar is the one I had never heard of and I am now intrigued by. Falsettos I have heard of but have never heard.

So I guess both. But J. Edgar is the one I think I'll look for first.

I watched SUPERNATURAL this afternoon. The two leads (but especially Jenson Ackles) were reason enough to keep my eyes glued to the screen.

Seeing it during daylight probably lessened the creepiness of the show a bit, but I was relieved that the violence was less graphic than I was expecting (and those two fire effects were eeriely beautiful in a weird sort of way.)

I DVRed two early 1930s Garbo movies during the early morning hours that I've never seen before including one that brought her one of her Oscar nominations - ROMANCE.

Of course, when I'll get a chance to watch these, who knows?

So yours would have the song changes made to the opening of the show and the title song especially?

I always think he's miscast because he's a lousy actor, at least in the films that I've seen him in.

I concur about ROLLOVER. After a long string of hits starting with JULIA, this Jane Fonda movie was DOA. It was laughably bad as I recall.

I'm recalling ROLLOVER as a sort of CHINA SYNDROME with finance substituting for nuclear fuel. Aren't there scenes during the climax where sweaty-faced stock brokers and traders are running around in a panic shouting "Rollover! It's rolling over!"?

I haven't seen it since I reviewed it all those years ago, but seems like I remember guys committing suicide and the surroundings looking like LA at the end of EARTHQUAKE.

Well, I know the Samuel French script for WOMAN OF THE YEAR has an opening number that in no way resembles what's heard on the cast album, and I've read that changes were instituted on Broadway and on the road with the show after the original album was recorded.

BK, I am curious as to why the 1930s would be one of your less favorite film decades?

After the 1950s, I think the 1930s is my favorite.

For me the 1970s and 80s are my least favorite decades for films. I could probably count on one hand the films from those two decades combined that I like.

It's one of mine, DRJason. Other films from the 30's I like include:
The Thin Man
The Hildegarde Withers mysteries with Edna Mae Oliver
David Copperfield
