Congrats to ...SINGING NUN for its Best Musical and acting citations and to Dee Hoty of NIGHT OF THE HUNTER for performance citation in this year's Talkin' Broadway Summer festival citations.
http://www.talkinbroadway.com/festivalcitations/2006.html
How ironic on most Best Films of All-Time lists, the 1952 movie that seems to get mentioned the most nowadays is SINGIN' IN THE RAIN. THE QUIET MAN and HIGH NOON do get mentioned, too, but not in the same way as SINGIN'.
No one EVER mentions THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH except in derision.
Yes, I'm waiting for THE LITTLE MERMAID and X-MEN 3 as well. A friend wants to see X-MEN 3 today if it comes in the mail. I suspect it'll come tomorrow rather than today, but I've been surprised before.

Members of the cast of the Broadway revival of "A Chorus Line."
In providing us with an archivally and anatomically correct reproduction of a landmark show, the creators of this revival neglected to restore its throbbing heart.
Off Broadway, New World Stages (formerly Dodger Stages)
PLOT DESCRIPTION
'Evil Dead: The Musical,' a "dis-arm-ingly" riotous musical comedy based on Sam Raimi's '80s cult-classic horror films, unearths the old familiar story: boy and his friends take a weekend getaway at abandoned cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, "camp" takes on a whole new meaning in uproarious numbers like 'All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons,' 'Look Who's Evil Now' and 'Do the Necronomicon.' Buzzing chainsaws and dancing demons add to the frenzy, slaying audiences with this tale of lust, love and dismemberment. The first two rows of the orchestra are the "Splatter Zone." Patrons in the "Splatter Zone" should be prepared to have a bloody good time...and dress accordingly. — TheaterSource
I searched and searched, but my problem was i was always including the word "Hitchcock"!
Well, you people obviously need a documentarian on the crew. I think several here could fit the bill, including our own"wildlife" photographers (when you go to those "special interest places")!
So, what's my project for today?
Where do you FIND this stuff?
Are they already in the underworld at this point?

Ooooh--we're columnar all of a sudden. ;)
That's only the second time I've seen that - weird. I just deleted the post where two posts seemed to have fused like Pogue's The Fly.Whew! Thanks, BK!
Oh no! I broke the community! Me, a relative newbie! I'm so sorry, everyone!!!!
...if I do end up getting bumped, I will get a free round-trip ticket and possibly some other "perks". So... Not too bad a deal. We shall see...
I want more of that pasta I had yesterday. I shall try to refrain, however, oh, yes, I shall try to refrain.
Almost at post #3300.
Possibly not, but it's worth a try.

I don't have a socks drawer. Actually, my socks and drawers are in the same drawer.
PHILADELPHIA — Former presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, who put politics aside to help raise more than $1 billion for disaster relief efforts, received the 2006 Liberty Medal on Thursday night.
..,
Six recipients of the medal have subsequently won the Nobel Peace Prize.
DR jhvw - Good to know that you got to sleep in this morning. So... Just remember... Head up 8th Ave to 52nd... Turn left... Go past the Post Office... And you'll be "there". -And if you take a left on 51st, there are a couple more "theres" there too.
;D
If this were the late 1980's, I might suggest the Town House, but I don't know what that's like these days.

$75 Million Could Land You a Nice Chunk of Bel-Air
Even at $75 million, it doesn't come with a house, pool or anything else, for that matter.
But a group of Century City investment bankers are hoping that their 12.4-acre terraced hillside lot in Bel-Air will fetch that amount — even in a cooling real estate market.
The parcel, across from the Hotel Bel-Air and less than a mile north of Sunset Boulevard and UCLA, was assembled over nine years by flamboyant movie producer Steve Bing. He tore down homes on the land once owned by such show business luminaries as Barry Manilow, Red Buttons and Kim Novak.
I'd better get off ...or we might wind up being classified as a "special interest" site. :)
JRand - a fun impromptu moment at dinner: The waiter was pouring the water, and Cilla turned to me (channeling Edward Hibbert) and said "Your ice water."

The LA TIMES (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-fi-belair6oct06,0,3490684.story?coll=la-home-headlines) describes it thus:der Brucer
The demographic for The Townhouse skews toward the "older" side, at least it did the last I heard.
You're right, JHWV does appear older than 23. What surprised me though was, he's
[size=8]TALL[/size]
The way his picture was shot he looks to be less tall. Not that there's anything wrong with being tall (for those of you on the site who are taller than me, and that's most of you).
PS - My post makes it look like Jesus Camp has something to do with JMK's birthday. Not! It just came to mind as I was writing and I wanted to get it down before I forgot.
Aw, c'mon, someone had to go for that pun!
And for some reason, der Brucer decided to get the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Time to get ready for work.
...because there is NO WAY I'm walking to work in this rain!
...and also replaced what the electrician called our "bordello lights" with more modern sconces.
In other network news, CBS has canceled its Tuesday night show SMITH.
Dakota, thanks for that library of congress link. Looks like hours of fun.
I hear that Jesus Camp is a must-see docu.
It was great to be back in Canada -
Actually, I *do* have one for you. I've been looking for a movie for a few years now called "Cry Onion". It stars Franco Nero, but the voice is dubbed by someone doing a Jimmy Stewart impersonation. It's a Spanish film...kind of a parody of spaghetti westerns...with onions!

Can I play my Etude for four hands, now?

I was reading in the Journal of Popular Culture last night about a tv show called Fay. I read it was quite controversial back in the 1970s.
Grant made her film debut in the movie version of Detective Story and received her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination, and won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
Called before the House Un-American Activities Committee to testify against her husband, the playwright Arnold Manoff, the father of her only child, her daughter, actress Dinah Manoff, Grant refused to testify and was ultimately blacklisted. She continued to work in theater and resumed her film career in the early 1960s, and also appeared in the television series Peyton Place, for which she won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Drama.
She received Academy Award nominations for The Landlord (1970), and Voyage of the Damned (1977). She won an Oscar for Shampoo (1975). She has also directed several documentary films, including Down and Out in America (1986) which won the Academy Award for Documentary Feature. In recent years she has directed a series of Intimate Portrait episodes (for Lifetime Television) that celebrate a diverse range of accomplished women.
She appeared as a cunning lawyer/murderess on an episode of Columbo. She also had her own sitcom, a series entitled Fay (1975), but it was not successful. Grant was vocal in assigning blame for the failure of the series, which was about the travails of a mature, sexually active woman, which may have turned off some viewers.
Grant also guest starred on Empty Nest, a TV series in which her daughter Dinah Manoff was a regular.
Her other film roles include:
In the Heat of the Night (1967)
Valley of the Dolls (1967)
The Landlord (1970)
Plaza Suite (1971)
Portnoy's Complaint (1972)
Airport '77 (1977)
Damien: Omen II (1978)
When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder? (1979)
Teachers (1984)
Defending Your Life (1992)
Mulholland Drive (2001)
"May[/i] I play my Etude for four hands, now?"
Yes, you may.
;)
I didn't even know they had a Tuesday night show called SMITH!
Tomorrow a bunch of us are heading up to the mountains to see Arizona's autumn leaves (all aspen, so all yellow). Maybe I'll have a photo or two to share.
Maybe you say I may, but 'till some one hops on the bench beside me, I can not. :(

What does Simon Baker have to do with SMITH? I thought that it starred Ray Liotta.
Can I play my Etude for four hands, now?Yes! And I play piano (badly) so I will provide 2! Can we do Schubert? There's some great 4 hand pieces.

Good Evening!
Back from my meeting - a.k.a. cruise briefing. Alas, it looks like I'll be working more than five hours, but not that much more. ;) However, since I was 'given' two full days off on the boat, I have been enlisted to help with the group check-in tomorrow morning. Starting at 7:00am. UGH! But, then I'll be done at 10:30am, and that will be the end of my work day. I suspect I'll be taking a nap in my stateroom before the boat pushes away at 5:00.
Nice avatar DR derBRUCER...it's astounding....
We enjoyed WICKED

I assume the first act finale got "off the ground".

Back from dinner. The head of the cruise tour group company - Cruise Everything - took all of us to dinner at Bravo, an Italian restaurant. Many drinks were consumed. Many baskets of garlic bread were devoured. And plates of pasta, veal, chicken and eggplant were practically licked clean by all of us at the table. -Oh, yes, there was also dessert! And, best of all, the boss pick up the tab! :)
And now...
Laura, that does sound like fun. I saw a great horned the other day when I went for a walk.
Re Simon Baker without his shirt - Isn't Simon Baker the fellow who revealed on The View a while back that he doesn't believe in wearing deodorant?
All porn is expensive!
