ASK BK -

What Hitchcock film's screenplay do you think would make an interesting piece of musical theater?
What Hitchcock film would you personally want to write as a musical?

Maybe 39 Steps. Maybe Shadow Of A Doubt - that's about it.

Aw, c'mon! Wouldn't you like to see Stephen Sondheim's THE BIRDS--designed and directed by Julie Taymor?

Some of the song possibilities:

The Ladies Who Perch
Have I Got a Gull for You
Another Hundred Budgies
The Road Runner You Didn't Take

And he could even re-purpose "Your Fault"! -Take it away, DR FJL.

Even "By The Sea" could be used as an opening number!

And then, of course, the great Act One closer, "Now You Crow".

How About-

GREEN FINCH AND LINETT BIRD ?

CITIZENS ALERT

SWoodyWhite is now a licensed driver.

And, our car welcomed him by having a flat the same day.

And, the tire is totaled and a trip to a tire store is planned for today.

And, since the tire was damaged because of poor front end alignment, we have a Friday appointment to remedy that.

And, that is all.

Um, wouldn't it be best to have the new tire and the alignment take care of all at once? In any case...

Did he at least get a good picture for his driver's license?

DR MBarnum - Will you be watching Bollywood Hero on IFC this week?

*They had a Bollywood "flash mob" earlier this week in Times Square as part of the promotion for the mini-series.

Hmmm....looks like fun, might have to set my timer for that. I think that IFC is going to be showing some "real" Bollywood movies soon. I think one of the Encore channels has a newish Bollywood film coming up in the next couple of weeks, as well.

And since one should always recycle:

AARON TVEIT as NORMAN BATES in NEXT TO NORMAN (tune of "I Am The One")

Can you tell me why you're screaming in horror
Can you tell me is it because of me
Can I cut you
It won’t hurt for too long now
How could something be wrong, I just can’t see
‘Cause I’m just a nut
And I won’t let go
But hon you do not know

I am the nut who stalked you
I am the nut who stared
I am the nut who made you so scared
I am the nut who knifes you
And sure as I come from a long line of Tveits
I am the nut Norman Bates

(recycled from the AARON TVEIT as MICHAEL BIEHN in THE FAN parody)

I believe "Bollywood Hero" is a set-up for the addition to "real" Bollywood films to their schedule.

How about "North by Northwest" for a Hitchcock film-turned-musical?

"Bourbon and Brakes Don't Mix"
"A Murder in the U.N. Doesn't Translate"
"The Upper Berth Strain" or "The Pain from Train Stays Mainly Unexplained"
"Miss Kendall, You Got Some 'Splainin' To Do"
"The Cropduster Ballet"

"Let Go of Lincoln's Nose and Take My Hand"

Yes, but...

The temporary spare is also on its last legs and the other front tire is most likely damaged - new tires are a must, now! Friday is the earliest we can get an alignment appointment.

I've had a Blu-Ray player ever since we moved into our new home four months ago, yet last night was the first time that I actually watched a Blu-Ray disc.

Frankly, I was not that impressed and, unless I'm sent a Blu-Ray for review, I doubt if I will be adding any discs in that format to my library.

Yes, the picture and sound on Blu-Ray is somewhat better than your standard DVD, but not significantly better if that DVD is played on a Blu-Ray player connected to a flat screen TV.

Also, a Blu-Ray disc seems to take forever to load and, with this particular disc that I played last night, I was not only unable to watch the supplemental features, but I had difficulty ejecting the disc from the player.

Granted, there might have been a problem with this particular disc, but either way, I am not sold on this more expensive format.

Loading times vary considerably depending on your player, as does the ability to access special features. It sounds like maybe you have an older Profile 1 player. I had horrible loading times on my first two BD players, including a fairly high end Sony. It wasn't until I finally got a PS3 that loading times were negligible. PS3's are Profile 2, which means you have access to all available features, including BD Live (which, at least so far IMHO, is fairly useless).
