Well, you've read the notes, the notes were expert but sans armchair, and now it is time for you to post until the armchair cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: POSOLOGY!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
Count me in as well.
-
and from yesterday.
I misnamed the new Clint Eastwood movie. Somehow Hereafter just couldn't stick in my mind. I was calling it different names all day. Actually Afterlife is not such a bad name for it
-
Wednesday morning greetings! I slept very well last night and am now waiting for the results of yesterday's blood test. Back to cardiac rehab today ;D
-
Good morning, all! I have to be at my doctor this morning for blood tests at 8:45, so I'll soon be leaving for my walk up Broadway.
After that, I have a trip to the post office and a period of time at MTI looking over the final versions of the orchestra parts for THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. And, hopefully, that's it for today!
-
And the word of the day is: POSOLOGY!
And The Song Of The Day Is: A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR

This evening Richard and I are going to Miami University-Hamilton for the awarding of the John E. Dolibois History Prize (http://www.ham.muohio.edu/colliganproject/dolibois_prize/index.htm) to Dr. Allan Millett, a military historian from Ohio State University. We always enjoy the Colligan Project events.
-
Back from the lab, I can have some breakfast (yay!) before I head out again.
-
Sounds like everyone is having a beautiful busy day.
Wednesday is Titanic Day for myself, my sister Paula, my brother Kent, my niece Amanda, and my father.......
-
Maybe my Kritzerland release will come today. I think there's one out there in the mail.
-
Morning, all, and the requisite "phooey!" to the armchair experts.
Back to the Future is, indeed, a great classic, and 3 an underappreciated sequel (2 was just okay, by my reckoning). Christopher Lloyd's dialogue is just first rate ("My boy, I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is sold in every corner drugstore; here in 1955, it's a little hard to come by."), and I can even forgive the mispronounciation of "gigawatts"
-
I must take umbrage at your comments about Back to the Future, at least with regard to my review. First of all, I know for a fact mine was the first detailed review on the internet. Here it is:
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Back-to-the-Future-25th-Anniversary-Trilogy-Blu-ray/9152/
Please tell me where I "begrudgingly" admit anything about the image quality, which I clearly state is the best this franchise has ever looked. How could I be scared about what I read when mine was the first review out there? I actually took a lot of heat from readers on this review on the main thread at blu-ray.com, after other (complaining) reviews appeared, and I still stand by my statements.
-
Back to the Future.

Hope you all "survive," DR JRand!
-
In doing a cursory look at the internets, the only other source besides blu-ray.com that I would ever bother "believing," AVS, also gave the films pretty much sterling reviews for image quality.
-
Sterling Reviews.
I think he is my attorney.
-
Thanks DR GINNY - when I went to a similar exhibit at the Children's Museum many years ago....I did NOT!
-
Ordered FINISHING THE HAT and EVENING PRIMROSE the DVD at Amazon - it's a Sondheim-Arama! ;D
-
I will say it's fairly evident (to me, anyway) that that reviewer read my review before posting his.
-
Well, FINISHING THE HAT was waiting for me when I got home last night. But I will not be reading this book on the train--it's a big one! Instead, I'll keep in on my night stand to peruse at bedtime.
Now to figure out how to get Mr. Sondheim to autograph it...
-
As I understand it, this book is part one of a two volume set. I don't see the next one available yet on Amazon. I wonder if the title will be ...AND THEN I WROTE ROAD SHOW...
-
Hopefully, Mr. Sondheim doesn't lurk at this here website on a daily basis. Comments like that will most probably diminish my chances at getting him to scribble in my book.
-
DR Edisaurus, you will be happy to know that PUSS N BOOTS, and several of the other K. Gordon Murray English dubbed releases of Mexican films are considered cult classics.
Here is a website devoted to K. Gordon Murray and his film releases:

There is even a documentary coming out soon!
-
DR JMK, did you order GUMNAAM? You won't ever regret spending the $5.99!
-
My question for BK (and JRand).....
Have you yet watched MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM (1944), and if so I would like a complete
report on what you thought of it...good, bad, or ugly.
-
DR JMK, did you order GUMNAAM? You won't ever regret spending the $5.99!
Not yet, but I will. :)
-
I'm still busy taking umbrage. :)
-
Be sure to return that umbrage the way you found it. Some else may need to use it.
-
Let a smile be your umbrage, I always say...

Most entertaining K Gordon Murray page, DR MBARNUM!

And now off to the Titanic.

Now, JMK, I think you know I wasn't talking about you or your review. I wasn't even talking about reviewers much, just the general know-it-alls. And the begrudging remark was directed toward one reviewer on a big site. I know you went out of your way to take the position you did and got heat from people who hadn't even seen the disc.
-
I'm up. Very cold in the home environment this morning, so I've turned on the heat for a little while.

My favorite number, after the "Bride of Zorro" opening, is the beach blanket number, "Can a chubby little boy like me fall in love with those piano legs of yours?"

I hear it's good with humble pie, but I wouldn't know.
-
I am home from MTI and clearly on a frenzy. The orchestra parts hadn't arrived for my perusal, so I corrected an error in the harp part that I found in the full score, went to the post office, the market and now I am home for the remainder of the day. I've got some notes to type up.
-
Terrible weather today: very humid and warm. I guess we are in for storms.
-
Afternoon, all.
-
I'm so far behind I don't if it's worthwhile trying to catch up.
-
I continue to be amazed by what I read about this Back To The Future comment. I keep hearing stuff about all the "edge halos" - I guess I must just not be sophisticated enough to see them. Or, they're not there and people are seeing what they've been told to see, want to see, or are blaming thing inherent in the photography as other things. I honestly don't know. One person says the transfer doesn't look like today's film standards - could that be because the film wasn't made - today? The same person said that it looked better in the cinema when he saw this transfer a couple of weeks ago - I'm quite certain they were showing this transfer, so why would that be? Perhaps because of this fellow's home theater system?
One reviewer actually says that the coat Marty wears when playing Johnny B. Goode at the prom has problems with what is now called moire patterns - then he immediately admits that that could be a problem with his TV - it is. There are no problems with the coat and that, in fact, surprised me, since several blu-ray transfers still seem to be plagued by that sort of thing.
-
Yesterday, I spent about 15 hours driving to the set and working as an extra on "Bernie." It was the first time I've ever been paid to go to church.
We spent all day filming four scenes in the First United Methodist Church of Bastrop, which is in a tiny town about 95 minutes from San Antonio.
During the four scenes, we saw a funeral, then we saw Jack Black sing three hymns. During the last one, the audience got to sing "Blessed Assurance" along with Mr. Black while Shirley MacLaine made evil eyes at someone across the aisle.
Don't know if I made it into any scenes or not, but for one I was two rows behind MacLaine, during a funeral, while Black sang "Just As I Am."
During the last scene, she was in the next pew over. Really charming and spent time talking with some of the children who were extras. She was also funny in her way, while Black was funny in his.
-
I don't think I have ever seen a BACK FROM THE FUTURE movie all the way through.
-
The extra who was playing Shirley MacLaine's son in the film introduced himself to her as Fran Kublick's oldest son. Then he had to explain who Fran Kublick was, which prompted her to say, "That movie's so old. Good, but old."
She also had some fun bits between takes when she was reading on her Kindle about marijuana sales in California. She and Jack Black did a few riffs back and forth on that.
-
I don't think I have ever seen a BACK FROM THE FUTURE movie all the way through.
I saw the first. I sort of enjoyed it, to lift a line from a Sondheim song.
-
I preferred Michael J. Fox in "The Frighteners."
-
DR JRand, I am glad you enjoyed MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM! One of my favorite films from my childhood, it used to show up on Chiller Diller Matinee quite frequently.
I sure do wish that Universal would get around to releasing their 1940s musicals (and musical mysteries...those that I have seen are so much fun!

It keeps looking like it's going to rain here. But it won't. So, I'm off to water the plants.

Geez, Mike....I dunno...are you sure you want used umbrage?
I suppose burnt umbrage would be okay.

Glad you enjoyed, and survived, the voyage, DR JRand! I love the Indiana State Museum.

While driving to the hospital for CR, I heard the tail end of today's Fresh Air with Terry Gross on NPR. Tomorrow's guest is Stephen Sondheim talking about his new book.
-
As expected, i did NOT win the Ebb award, but with hearing the work of some of the people who made the final list of eight, I'm kind of thrilled that i made it to that level.
I can't say who the winner is because that won't be revealed until the season finale, i mean until the Ebb people do their press release - but it's someone really great (who's done an album with BK), and I was at first surprised that he's still considered an up-and-coming writer, as opposed to someone who's already made it. But a terrific choice, since he obviously met the criteria from a commercial point of view.

I forgot to watch the rerun of TOP CHEF JUST DESSERTS at 5pm! I wanted to see Seth's breakdown. Damn!

Congrats to Fred on his nomination. May good things come of it.

I thought this was supposed to be Shirley MacLaine's funeral?

Wednesday evening is a bit cool here.

Look out! I am in a Bert I. Gordon movie! :o
-
Jrand, did you enjoy the exhibit? Did you get to see John Jacob Astor's cuff links?
-
DR Vixmom I'm very pleased your mother continues to improve.
I haven't read "Me & Emma" by Elizabeth Flock? After reading far too many, our club tries to avoid stories about dysfunctional families. If you read the book please let me know if you like it.

HHW is very slow this evening.

Blood test vibes to those who need them!!!

HHW is very slow this evening.
Actually I meant the time it takes to post rather than my usual complaint about the lack of posts
-
I was reading thru all of last evenings posts, and I kept reading about acceptance vibes for John G. For a while, I thought he had come out of the closet, rather than applied to grad school.
-
Jack, you rascal! I was reading one of my case files at work today when I cam across the information that you were the absent parent for one of our foster children.

Jrand, did you enjoy the exhibit? Did you get to see John Jacob Astor's cuff links?
If they were the onyx with diamonds....yes I did.
Enjoyed it very much....very sad....so many of the people had been scheduled to go on other ships - the Majestic and Oceanic - but because of the coal strike, they were transferred to the Titanic.
-
Jack, you rascal! I was reading one of my case files at work today when I cam across the information that you were the absent parent for one of our foster children.

I had an envelope of things for the store on Monday.....now it is no where to be seen. I think I may have thrown it away. I won't look for it anymore.....it is gone.

DR JANE - and others - if you have a current eyeglass prescription, you can get a nice pair of glasses for a reasonable price here.

The glasses have measurements, and you can measure a current pair for a good fit for your face....I usually get the "medium" size glasses.

I spent another $89 at the gift shop - but I finished my Christmas shopping.

I have a piece of Titanic coal that I bought when they first brought it up in 1994 or so.
They had some more at the exhibit, so I bought a piece for my sister......it is very sad to think about....but it is the ONLY artifact that is for sale.
-

Back from finessing mixes - got seven tracks done, thirteen to go. I'm glad I played tough on this one and made the composer go back and record some vocals again, plus replace the entire original guitar track with one by our very own Mr. Grant Geissman. It made all the difference in the world and now it's starting to sound very clean and punchy and like a - well - Kimmel album.
-
Then I had my first lunch at In and Out - just had a burger. Then I met Joan Ryan at the studio cafe and we split some nachos, which were really good and had no beef. Not all that much and we did split precisely in half, so not too too terrible.
-
Then found out that CDs will arrive tomorrow morning, so that's good.

Thanks for the suggestion. I wish I could purchase online. Most frames are too large to fit. My current frame is for children. Then I need progressive lenses with a special ratio.

We just got brand new 22-inch monitors here at work (actually, about an hour ago)! I took a picture, but I won't be able to post it until I get home. It's a pretty snazzy monitor! :D
-
I just got back form a get together of folks raising money for our neighborhood park. They had a good idea this year; they made a pet calendar. Everyone bought space for their pet's picture, and there are also ads in it, and then they sell it for $20. I don't know how I'll use it since it's pretty big, but all 4 of my kitties are in there and it was fun to look at all the pictures of pets I see being walked and learning their named.

I stepped in a wet spot in my office and assumed it was cat hurl, but turns out the leak in my office ceiling has returned. At least it wasn't over any furniture of papers...just a wet rug.

My niece was very much into Titanic stuff when she was much younger, even before Leo and Kate's "Titanic" was released. Her great-grandmother (on her father's side) had a set of salt and pepper shakers that were the same kind that were used on the Titanic and from that era (they weren't reproductions), but they just weren't actually used on the Titanic. I don't know who has them now.

They were probably used on the Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic. White Star never put the actual name of the ship on their china or sivlerware, prefering to use WHITE STAR LINE and the emblem.

Roger Ebert is the guest programmer tonight on TCM....and I haven't seen him since his operation or surgery.....it is very shocking and sad to see - and I can't really figure out what is going on.....his face seems to be gone, he uses an electronic voice box of some kind.
Just very disturbing to see.

With all the running up and down stairs, doing laundry and vacuuming it appears I'm losing weight. At least my jeans are fitting better and I'm washing and drying them on high heat!

I need stairs in my house.

Yesterday, I spent about 15 hours driving to the set and working as an extra on "Bernie." It was the first time I've ever been paid to go to church.
We spent all day filming four scenes in the First United Methodist Church of Bastrop, which is in a tiny town about 95 minutes from San Antonio.
During the four scenes, we saw a funeral, then we saw Jack Black sing three hymns. During the last one, the audience got to sing "Blessed Assurance" along with Mr. Black while Shirley MacLaine made evil eyes at someone across the aisle.
Don't know if I made it into any scenes or not, but for one I was two rows behind MacLaine, during a funeral, while Black sang "Just As I Am."
During the last scene, she was in the next pew over. Really charming and spent time talking with some of the children who were extras. She was also funny in her way, while Black was funny in his.
I thought this was supposed to be Shirley MacLaine's funeral?
I thought it was, too. Turns out to be her husband's and it is at the funeral that she meets Jack Black's character.

Well, my best friend has just been offered the role of Ben in the Kennedy Center production of FOLLIES, I just learned five minutes ago.
Wonderful news.

Great news on all fronts, Vixmom!

I was reading thru all of last evenings posts, and I kept reading about acceptance vibes for John G. For a while, I thought he had come out of the closet, rather than applied to grad school.
LOL

I spent another $89 at the gift shop - but I finished my Christmas shopping.

Great photos -- and I'm envious of the Christmas shopping. Authentic lumps of coal from the Titanic's furnace?

Odd day. Haven't caught with anything (except for the readings here), and I kind of like not caring about how far behind I am.
Had a lousy dinner at a new restaurant. Burger was pre-formed, probably once frozen patty with next to no flavor. The cream of asparagus soup was made from canned asparagus. And I like ordering cole slaw because it's usually lower carb than most items, but this version made up for that by adding corn (!) to the mix.

Good Evening!
I'm up, I'm up... And when I came home last night, two Con Ed trucks were parked outside my apartment building. Well... Apparently, something shorted out in the building next door, so, to be safe, they rerouted our power lines. Again. :-\

And thus explains my E&Tness over the past 24 hours or so. More or less.

Night, all.

;D

Great news from DR VIXMOM......and DR GEORGE - you will love the new monitor!
Thanks, JRand. I know I will. I have a 24-inch monitor at home. :) Here's the picture of my new work monitor...until I move into my new cubicle:

Might not be around too much. Making progress on paying for my car repairs. Sold the IMAC and working on having the old IBM laptop fixed. Until then it's internet at the local library down the street. Might have to cancel the internet at home (and the phone) and just stick to a cell phone and wireless internet if the old IBM can get access. Yea for the computers at the library (which might be more fun anyway). I seriously need to pay down my credit cards. Or I'm really going to be in trouble next year.
THINGS ALWAYS LOOK UP. ;D
-
Night all, and VIBES VIBES VIBES. :) :) :)
-
See ya Saturday from the library. ;)

I think I know from FJL's description who won the Ebb award. And I think I know from elmore's description who has been offered the role of Ben.

Finished with my viewing a couple of hours ago, did a mile and a half jog and my calf seemed to be fine and then wrote my liner notes, which are now thankfully finished.
-
I'm going to shave now so I don't have to in the morning - CDs and helper arrive very early and then I have a noon lunch so it's going to be very hectic.

PAGE SEVEN DANCE!!

I'm dancing an Irish jig and a Scotch whiskey.
