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.

Happy Birthday to Sandra! Cherry Coke for everyone!

Thursday morning greetings! I'm getting ready to pick up my Mom in a couple of hours and take her on several errands.

Happiest of birthdays to DR Sandra!

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.

A former co-worker and I have just been Facebook chatting and we've made plans to go for tea at

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.
-
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 always wanted a real soundtrack for MYRA BRECKINRIDGE. Mae West's two numbers were released as singles, but I liked all of the soundtrack excerpts used and the rest of the score.
-
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'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.

Quiet morning which is fine. Such lovely weather to enjoy with two days of rain and storms predicted for Friday and Saturday.

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.

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

I am looking forward to tonight's SURVIVOR.
Tomorrow I will try to be very careful re: PROJECT RUNWAY since we are 2 weeks behind and still have 5 contestants.

I am also looking forward to THE MENTALIST and tonight's conclusion of DAMAGES.
And I'm also excited that I now get MTV Canada so i will be able to watch next week's premieres of THE HILLS and THE CITY on tv instead of online.

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.

I have returned from a long meeting to set the schedule for recording Victor Herbert songs. Hopefully there will be few disgruntled singers. Now I have to type up the lists and finish this turkey off.
Speaking of weird dreams, I dreamed about my dad last night. I remember no more about it.

Seems to me I've had that dream before
The dream where you dressed like a whore
Oh how i love that memory

CD will ship by the last week of May – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early).
:D
-
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!

Before leaving for lunch, I watched another BONES episode. This was the one with the dead basketball player found under the bleachers. I loved Tempi's outrage over the students' lack of interest in academics: "This is a terrible university." As many times as I see this, it still makes me laugh out loud.

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 gotta tell you.
-
BABEL was so long that I didn't have time to watch anything else including today's AS THE WORLD TURNS with Luke and Reid (which I'll watch when I go back downstairs) and last night's BIG GAY SKETCH SHOW.

I did get a new review copy today via USPS:: Criterion's Blu-ray of WALKABOUT.
But, since it doesn't come out until May 18th, I decided I'd not dive into it until next week at the earliest.

I guess I'll finish up some stuff upstairs and then head down and get on with this evening's viewing. I didn't really want or expect this to have been a day off, but sometimes luck just doesn't go my way.

Our phones have been giving us problems for awhile now. After dropping the connection multiple times yesterday we finally ordered new phones from Costco today. The new phones have an option DR Laura needs, you can block individual numbers.

MR BK - did I seem to have a southern accent to you?
Not really - some sort of slight accent, though.
JRand, to me people from Indiana have kind of a country-ish kind of accent, or at least my friend Jim who was from Indiana, does.
-
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.
-
Mastering guy found an error in the source material he's working from - a repeated track - thankfully the track it was supposed to be was located, so we swapped that out, and in the process found one additional track - so it's a little longer than we thought, which is good since it's fairly short.

I don't know how 3D would be on tv vs in the theatre. But wasn't the whole big deal that it was so much better in 3D. Seems weird that they wouldn't have both for sale.

Packaging is all approved now.

I am not sure what i will watch on tv tonight. For sure SURVIVOR. And since PRIVATE PRACTICE will be at 9pm i'll probably watch that too (i wish it was always at 9pm). If i'm not too tired after i can either watch THE MENTALIST or start the DAMAGES finale.
Is anybody here still watching FLASH FORWARD? I had saved up all the shows and never watched it till this march (when i watched them all at once). I sort of like it, especially because of Penny from LOST.

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:
Dialog was fast and furious, and when a cop interrogated the chorus girl where she had been on the night of the murder, she replied snappy as all get out:
"I was knittin' a mitten for my kitten!"

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.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everybody!
I saw puppies at work today.
Mom is making binguhotto for dinner.

The new phones have an option DR Laura needs, you can block individual numbers.
That's a nice feature.
I figured you would appreciate the option ;)
The option we like is the ability to turn the sound off the ringer. We will have a base phone with 3 remote phones. One of those will be in the guest room. In the past we have had to unplug the guest room phone when we had company.

Our phones have been giving us problems for awhile now. After dropping the connection multiple times yesterday we finally ordered new phones from Costco today. The new phones have an option DR Laura needs, you can block individual numbers.
That's Very Interesting...Since Our Phone(Answering Machine) conked out we bought a new Panasonic set with two additional phones at Costco last week.
Enjoy! And it does include Laura's needed feature!
I wonder if this is the same phone, with one less phone than our set. It says you can use up to 6 phones with the one base. It doesn't have an answering machine since we have voicemail.

We don't know yet. We haven't invented it yet.

I recommend some tomato paste for your binguhotto - and a moon pie for texture.

Then it must have been extra cute ;)

Yesterday, DR Jeanne asked:
TCB, do you say that heat helps the MRSA?
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.

Great news DR TCB! I'm glad the heat is working. Did you go to work today?

As long as I don't sound like the cowboys on TAR.
If you looked like them no one would care about the accent!

And I certainly don't....maybe I need to buy a cowboy hat.

I'll be there!! ;D
I should hope - they expect you to help with concessions!

And putting together the stage.

Happy Birthday to DR Sandra. Hope you enjoy some floop as well!

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

Little Shop is at my house!
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!

Oh yeah!

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.
-
Happy Birthday, DR Sandra!!!!!
-
I hope you are feeling much better DR TCB.

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...

~~~Finding/Coping Vibes All Around!!~~~
-
I'm sorry to hear about your Mom's (and your) bad day, DR Ginny.
-
And now, it's time for me to leave for rehearsal. We're rehearsing at the club house of my condo complex, so I don't have to go away and then come back home...I'll already be home! :D
-
But before I go...Topic of the Day: BK's next release(s)!
;)

~~~Finding/Coping Vibes All Around!!~~~
Thank you, DR George.
Both dogs are passed out right now. I must say I am so happy I got little Toby. He really is doing a good job of keeping Sheena company. He is a good boy.

Rehearsal Vibes!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~
I gotta run too. I'm tired tonight.
Goodnight all!

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.
-
Convenient DR George. Maybe you can host a rehearsal more often.

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.

I'm glad you two are enjoying it, but it's more work than pleasure for me.

Then I watched THE BIG GAY SKETCH SHOW. A fairly decent episode, but did not have as many big laughs as the season premiere.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Bones is a lot more work for Keith to watch.;D
-
That's me X-tra Cute.
-
PWOJECT WUNWAY finale!!!
-
Last night we watched BLIND SIDE. I'm glad it arrived quickly from NetFlix as it made a perfect feel good birthday movie for Keith.
-
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.
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.
-
Hi everyone.
-
I'm going to close up shop a little earlier tonight than usual so I can get to bed early and be ready for the UPS delivery tomorrow morning where I'll be sitting downstairs until he comes so as not to miss him.
Good night!

Listening to The Fantasticks in Jazz The Trotter Trio, as I get to see the show Friday night.
And then will listen to Jason Graae Live at the Cinegrill as I get to see bk's event on Saturday.
Should be a good weekend for me. ;D

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.
-
Well goodnight everyone. See ya Saturday late afternoon.
Have a good weekend everyone. And Happy Friday. :)
-
Happy birthday Sandra.
-
Sounds like a great weekend you have lined up, DR Sam - have fun and report back to us all about the shows!
-
Project Runway is on in the background.
looks like half the secret is picking the right models, isn't it? (At least at this level of the game)

Needle-nose pliers and arthritic hands are not good friends.

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.
