Last night, DR MBarnum posted:

For those who might know this guy:


Bill Mullikin
Broadway actor in ‘Hello Dolly'

Bill Mullikin, 83, an actor best known for his long-running role as Cornelius Hackle in "Hello Dolly," died April 3 in Aptos, Calif., said his daughter, Kate. He had Alzheimer's disease and was in hospice care.

He was born April 19, 1926, in Baltimore and graduated from Loyola University of Maryland with a bachelor's degree in history.

He made his Broadway debut in "New Faces of 1952" and appeared in more than 2,000 performances of "Hello Dolly" with such actresses as Ginger Rogers, Dorothy Lamour and Phyllis Diller in the title role, his daughter said. His film work included "Hell Is for Heroes" in 1962.


How sad, and I'll bet if he appeared in the tour with Dorothy Lamour that he's who played Cornelius when I saw it for the first time. Alas, the Playbill for that performance has been long gone from my collection. The only DOLLY Playbill I have is for the Pearl Bailey DOlly in NYC.

Good morning, all! I slept relatively well, although I didn't get enough sleep. This morning, i have a meeting to schedule the singers for the Herbert recordings in October, November, and January so I will be out of here very shortly.

After that, more Herbert and Oz work here. It should be a quiet day, I hope. I'm primarily waiting for the big shoe to drop when my neighbor hears from the landlord. I don't think it will be pretty.

Good morning!

Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day here. I was a little stiff in the lower back this morning (had a much better night than the night before), but I've already taken a hot, hot shower in preparation for lunch out today with friends, and my back has felt MUCH improved after that shower. Another couple of days, and I should be back to normal.

AVATAR comes out on Blu-ray today, so I'm expecting the Fox review copy today, and if it comes, that'll be today's work project. It's a movie-only release; no bonus features at all, so watching it will take the time it takes but no more since there is nothing else to see.

So far, no UPS deliveries.
Title: Re: IT'S A LOVELY DAY TODAY
Post by: Matt H. on April 22, 2010, 06:48:56 AM
After having nothing on TV last night, I'm delighted that tonight I will have new episodes of BONES, SUPERNATURAL, THE OFFICE/30 ROCK (two eps of 30 ROCK), THE MENTALIST, and PROJECT RUNWAY (season finale conclusion).

I also noticed since PRIVATE PRACTICE is a new episode tonight and GREY'S ANATOMY is a rerun, ABC is reversing the order of their playing. PRIVATE PRACTICE comes on at 9 EDT tonight.

I've been told that all of the DVD copies of THE BEST MAN (Henry Fonda) that are being sold on Amazon are defective.  In fact, Amazon has stopped selling them until the problem can be corrected.

I didn't buy it because it's not an anamorphic transfer. Like so many MGM transfers of films with 1.66:1, 1.75:1, or 1.85:1 aspect ratios, (both pressed discs and these MOD discs), the transfers aren't anamorphic which, for 2010, is truly infuriating.

The UPS drove right by the side of the house without stopping, but maybe he turned the corner and delivered something without my knowing. I'll head down to see.

I also heard that we're doing lunch early today so that also makes me happy.

My Borders adventure from last week continues.  You may remember the braindead clerk misordered something from Borders.com, supposedly canceled that order and then placed the correct one.  Yesterday two envelopes arrived.  One had the INCORRECT item in it.  The second one, whose tracking number on the label indicates it should have been the correct item, was EMPTY!!  They mailed me a sealed, EMPTY envelope.  Oy and vey.  So I called the store, the manager was aghast.  I am bringing the empty envelope in today.  Luckily I paid with that with a gift card, so they can refund that money onto the giftcard.  Unfortunately, the incorrect one was paid with a credit card, and there's a lot of hoo-hah before that can be refunded.

As promised, here is information on the potential for a very fun NW HHW gathering.  This could be the start of a whole new career for BK ;):

RAVE IN THE NAVE ANNOUNCES ITS 2010-11 SEASON OF PERFORMING ARTISTS:

September 18   Marv and Rindy Ross
Top 40 hitmakers with Quarterflash, Marv and Rindy have gone on to great acclaim with their popular Trail Band concerts.  Rave in the Nave is proud to present the Rosses in a rare intimate duo performance to kick off our third season.

October 16   Tom Grant
Long considered Portland’s favorite jazz pianist, native son Tom Grant has forged an international career with scores of top selling albums to his credit.  Equally at ease playing standards from the Great American Songbook, or more groove oriented contemporary jazz tunes, Tom’s solo concert will delight music lovers of all ages.

November 13         Bruce Kimmel
Television star, feature film writer and director, best-selling author, legendary Grammy nominated producer of Broadway cast albums—Bruce Kimmel has done it all in a career spanning several decades and areas of expertise.  Now with his memoirs newly published, Bruce comes to Portland with a fun multi-media presentation that looks over a long and varied life in show business.


December 11   Time Out!  The Holiday Edition
Back for their second appearance in Rave in the Nave, the hilarious Moms of the Time Out troupe, headlined by Jacki Kane and Betsy Kauffman, bring some much needed laughter and stress relief to one of the busiest times of the year.

January 22  Linda Hornbuckle and Janice Scroggins
Three’s the charm for this fantastic soul-gospel duo, who have played to SRO audiences for the first two seasons of Rave in the Nave.  An exciting and inspiring evening of timeless musical performances is in store.  If you haven’t experienced the joy of Linda and Janice in concert, don’t miss this standout event.

February 12   Chrisse Roccaro in "Love Letters"
Portland theater star Chrisse Roccaro appears in A.J. Gurney’s acclaimed romantic play “Love Letters,” co-starring Chrisse’s own husband, Stephen Guntli.  A perfect evening in preparation for Valentine’s Day, “Love Letters” is Rave in the Nave’s personal Valentine to our audience.

March 19                    Elizabeth Nicholson
Internationally acclaimed Celtic harpist and vocalist Elizabeth Nicholson helps us celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a beautiful evening of traditional and more modern Irish and Celtic music.

April 9      Eric Hull and Vox:  A Spoken Word Chorus
An unusual evening of spoken verse with Eric Hull’s acclaimed troupe featuring some of Portland’s best known theater stars.  This promises to be an unique and riveting evening of spoken verse.

May 14   Melinda Strobel in “Susannah Wesley”
CUMC’s own Melinda Strobel brings her popular one woman show about Susannah Wesley to Rave in the Nave.  Susannah was the wife of Methodism’s founder John Wesley.

June 4   Aaron Meyer and Tim Ellis
Portland’s answer to Jean-Luc Ponty, violinist Aaron Meyer, has become a fixture on the local and regional music scene with his inventive world music compositions.  Appearing with Aaron is popular local guitarist Tim Ellis.

Elmore,  I believe the score to OH, WHAT A LOVELY WAR was once released once on Vinyl.  I remember listening to it in a friend's apartment

You are correct! I thought the question was about never released on DVD. I'm bummed we've never had a CD release, and i would like it very much. At least with GEORGY GIRL, I am speaking about a never-released soundtrack recording.

"Oh! What A Lovely War" has been released on DVD.

I meant "never released on CD." I want the soundtrack recording of "Oh, What A Lovely War!"

AVATAR comes out on Blu-ray today, so I'm expecting the Fox review copy today, and if it comes, that'll be today's work project. It's a movie-only release; no bonus features at all, so watching it will take the time it takes but no more since there is nothing else to see.

So far, no UPS deliveries.

I'm curious how they are doing it with the 3D thing. Will there be any versions that are the 3D version or is only out in regular.

What a frustrating day this has been.

I've been reviewing DVDs and Blu-rays for over three years and I get quite a number of the review copies via UPS or FedEx rather than U.S. Mail. Today, for the first time ever, the UPS man didn't leave the package at the door, but left a non-delivery slip saying they'd try to deliver again tomorrow. I wonder if Fox made it mandatory that the discs be handed to someone rather than left at a residence, or maybe I just have a substitute driver who isn't used to the route and decided not to take a chance.

Whatever, my review of AVATAR will be a day after street date due to this. If Fox had only alerted us that someone would have to receive the package, I'd have stayed home today and not gone out to lunch.

Damn!

Last night via an e-mail, a friend asked me what I thought of BABEL. I had to admit that although I've had the HD-DVD version for a couple of years (it came with my HD-DVD player), I'd never taken the time to watch it.

Shamed into it, I watched it this afternoon. Not a very feel good movie, is it? Harrowing. Quite memorable in all but one of the multi-plot storylines. I really HATED the story of the deaf-mute Japanese teen who's seeking some kind of acceptance and feelings of being wanted, but everything else really held me riveted.

I don't love that you cannot fast-forward through the episode on ABC - so, it's just running in real time while I do other things.

That's weird. I cannot watch full videos on ABC.com since i live outside the US. But usually there is a way to skip past parts.  The canadian channel that shows LOST (ctv.ca) has their shows in parts (part 1 of 6). I'm not that crazy about that way. But i guess it does work if you only want to watch a certain part.

The theatrical 3D experience can not be duplicated on the current home video systems (and few have invested the mega-bucks to upgrade to a still "iffy" home 3D TV system.

The large screen digital 3D systems going into theatres now may well be the saving grave for theatrical-display movies.  I am surprised by how many of the local cinemas have invested in multiple 3D systems.

You're right, that's pretty darn snappy.

And of course from some play that Walter Kerr reviewed and wrote about in his book:

Which one is Penny?  We stopped watching LOST early on.

We are still watching F FORWARD.  We were growing weary of it by the end of last season & let 3 episodes accumulate at the beginning of this season before watching it again, & then only turned it on because we didn't have anything else to watch.  Unlike Matt H we have been enjoying the show again.

Indeed it does.  My doctor says that a heating pad or one of those microwaveable pads should be used for as long and as often as possible.  He says that the heat pulls the (for want of a better word) poison out and speeds healing.

Since I caught this outbreak soon enough, it seems to have stopped the infection, or at least, slowed it down.

Last night, DR MBarnum posted:

For those who might know this guy:


Bill Mullikin
Broadway actor in ‘Hello Dolly'

Bill Mullikin, 83, an actor best known for his long-running role as Cornelius Hackle in "Hello Dolly," died April 3 in Aptos, Calif., said his daughter, Kate. He had Alzheimer's disease and was in hospice care.

He was born April 19, 1926, in Baltimore and graduated from Loyola University of Maryland with a bachelor's degree in history.

He made his Broadway debut in "New Faces of 1952" and appeared in more than 2,000 performances of "Hello Dolly" with such actresses as Ginger Rogers, Dorothy Lamour and Phyllis Diller in the title role, his daughter said. His film work included "Hell Is for Heroes" in 1962.


How sad, and I'll bet if he appeared in the tour with Dorothy Lamour that he's who played Cornelius when I saw it for the first time. Alas, the Playbill for that performance has been long gone from my collection. The only DOLLY Playbill I have is for the Pearl Bailey DOlly in NYC.

Me too, and he certainly was not in that version.

Reminds of what a neighbor said when we said Toby was getting fat:

"He's not fat, he's extra-cute."

Some sort of slight accent....I'll take that.  As long as I don't sound like the cowboys on TAR.


And you don't look like them neither!

Hi all!  Just popping in for moment or two. 

I was on the phone with my nurse longer then I thought I would be.  Nothing to worry about, it just seems that Humanna--my health care provider--has started a new program to check on people with some medical conditions who are living alone. 

I was doing the set up and it took a long time to go though my meds and what problems I'm having or not having.
 
I think I'm going to like it because I can call 24/7 with any problems and talk with a nurse right away.

Toby has lost his tags.  I know they must be somewhere in the back yard but I can't seem to find them.  I have a hard time getting the tags on/off because the arthritis in my hands so I put a little link on the collar.  I guess I didn't have it tightened enough.

I don't think he ate them.  At least, I pray he didn't.  There are so many leafs in the yard, I'm sure they are just hidden.

My mother and I had a very frustrating day today.  The chairs that her friend had picked out at their thrift shop were ugly and she didn't buy them.  We proceeded to the BMV to have her state ID renewed and because she has a new address they needed something with that on it (credit card statement, bank statement, etc.) and she didn't have anything like that in her purse and didn't want to go back home to get it.  We went to Bob Evans for lunch and, while we were waiting for our food, she had a nosebleed that gave her a headache.  That scrubbed the grocery shopping trip, but we went to the pharmacy drive-thru to pick up her prescriptions and I took her home.  She just wanted to take a nap, so I left her and went to visit my aunt.  When I got home from my evening meeting, I called to check on my Mom and she told me that the Rx bag contained only one of the 3 prescriptions she'd called in and not the one she really needs for her COPD.  So, we may get to try the whole thing (except the chairs) tomorrow...

I like the thought they are checking on you & that you can call them. :)

We use the S shaped links to put the tags on the collar.  The needle-nose pliers work well to secure them.

No, I haven't been enjoying FLASH FORWARD very much, but since there are only a few episodes left, I'm hanging on to the very end. I think they had a fascinating premise and ended up not really knowing what to do with it to sustain it over the long haul. Since its audience now is about half what it was when it premiered, it seems a lot of people got frustrated with it very quickly.

DR Ginny I hope your mother, and you, have a better tomorrow.  I expect you usually check the prescriptions before leaving the pharmacy.  Of course the time you miss is when there is a problem.

I thought we had removed it from our DVR programming.  If we had, as we planned we wouldn't be watching it right now. ;D  For us this is a good thing.

I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Today was the first big payoff with Luke and Reid, and I did like it. They're quite sexy together (unlike his dalliance with long-time love Noah which I never found very alluring). Of course, they start something today and then they aren't on tomorrow. Where's the logic in that? Stupidity maximus!

Tomorrow should be a nice spring day.  Keith needs to take advantage of the day & work outside, so I said tomorrow will be the day I take Sherlock hiking my myself again.  Wish me a safe pain free hike.  I admit I'm a little nervous about it.

Then I watched THE BIG GAY SKETCH SHOW. A fairly decent episode, but did not have as many big laughs as the season premiere.
Title: Re: IT'S A LOVELY DAY TODAY
Post by: Matt H. on April 22, 2010, 07:09:57 PM
Then I finished watching the rest of the season three episodes of BONES. Well, once Zach and Hodgins began that experiment that was going to literally blow up in their faces, I stopped the disc. I didn't want to see what happened to Zach or the ultimate revelation on the show.

I'll like begin watching the season four episodes over the weekend.
Title: Re: IT'S A LOVELY DAY TODAY
Post by: Matt H. on April 22, 2010, 07:11:10 PM
Then I watched tonight's BONES episode. Tempi's new love interest I find more appealing than Booth's, but it's clear their hearts aren't really in it (at least not yet).

The murder case was OK, but there weren't really very many suspects.

And I ended my evening with tonight's SUPERNATURAL. Some good laughs and a terrific reappearance by Mark Pelligrino as Lucifer. Now we see how the rest of this season is going to go in terms of what the boys will be after.

Thank you, DR Jane.  I should have known from the dollar amount that there was a problem.  My Mom was kind of out of it with her nosebleed and I was preoccupied with getting her home, so we both kind of spaced out.

It was really really windy here the last 2 days, I think the pilot light on the water heater is out.
 :'(

This is the first time in 22 years (or longer) that I have not lived in an all electric building.  I'm still getting used to the smell of gas from the stove/oven and the clothes dryer.   Not sure what the water heater outside is all about.

Not sure what the water heater outside is all about.

In temperate climes water heaters are often installed outside (particularly in the absence of an unfinished basement) to minimize the catastrophe of water leaks. Outside installation is also advantageous in earthquake prone areas because the gas lines to water heaters are usually the first to go.
