Japanese! Just like Ken Watanabe.

JRand Vs. Blacula..would make a great picture!

Ok, DR TCB here is your requested photo of interviewee Richard Harrison. Here is Richard not long after his arrival in Hollywood...around the time he made SOUTH PACIFIC and BATTLE FLAME, and just prior to his starring in THE INVINCIBLE GLADIATOR and MEDUSA VS THE SON OF HERCULES.

I am sure there are a few other DRs here who will enjoy seeing Mr. Harrison...and if you like his picture be sure to read his interview in the latest edition of CLASSIC IMAGES MAGAZINE (a magazine that every classic film fan should find interesting...covering films from the silents through the 60s).

Hey, Richard, you forgot your pants!

JRand, is that your new hair?

And although Richard Harrison is a fine actor we don't want to forget the many performances by that other stlellar perfomer, Mr. Cal Bolder!

I love Chinese food, but it's meant to be ordered take-out. My mother once took a Chinese cooking class, and her lemon ginger chicken was great.

And I like Benihana.

That's it! Benihana. That's the Chinese restaraunt where I met Chinese actor Ken Wanatabe.

DR Robin Anderson - I was once in a production of "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" in which I played one of the evil white recording executives - and the rumor in the small theatre was that Mr William Marshall - Blacula himself! - was in the audience.

Sometime during the second act when I had nothing much to do, I was sitting in the dressing room. The curtain to the hallway flew open and there stood Blacula!!!

"Where is the restroom?" he asked. I pointed and stepped aside. He exited a few moments later, back to the audience from whence he came.

When you watch your DVD's imagine THAT voice......

That's it? That's the story? You didn't even offer him a Bloody Mary?

Shhhh, Jrand, if Richard didn't notice, I am certainly not going to tell him.

Thank you Mr. Barnum, for both pictures. I am in your debt................. I would offer to make you one of my famous pot roasts, but Washington beef is not currently in much demand.

Ask Noel to tell you about his song "Moo-Goo-Gai-Pan".

There are four little words
That, when they resound
Take me back to a glorious day
These sweet little words
Are usually found
On a menu in Column A:

Moo-goo-gai-pan
When I hear
Moo-goo-gai-pan
My mind goes back to the time
When we were lovers
Moo-goo-gai-pan
In bed
Moo-goo-gai-pan
A shred
Of moo-goo-gai-pan
Made a stain on the covers
You were my little dumpling
I was your moo-goo guy
Your ex-lover wasn't exotic
More like a ham on rye
General Pao
Don't mean a thing to me now
It's merely
Moo-goo-gai-pan
That reminds me of when
We'd make love
We'd make love
And half an hour later
We'd want to make love again
Moo-goo-gai-pan
I taste your gai-pan-moo-goo
Let's have more coo-coo-coo-chu
And then
Let's make love
Let's make love
And half an hour later
We'll make love again

awww... it'd been a while since we got to read a Noel Katz original. I was missing them. Great song Noel!

(which reminds me... I must print out "I Slipped on a Banana Peel on the Champs Elysées"!)

Quite obviously Noel has never heard Chinese Food in Bed. Oh, well.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #134 on:** January 29, 2004, 07:55:34 PM »

Good evening!

The Bad News: My car died - well, more accurately, refused to start.
The Sorta-Good News: It wasn't too much a surprise.

The Bad News: I was planning on driving up to DC tonight since I have a gig up there tomorrow morning and Saturday.
The Good News: Amtrak
The Bad News: 6:00AM train
The Other Bad News: 5:00AM taxi pick-up
The Good News: I can have breakfast at one of those neat little cafes by where I'm playing tomorrow.

The Good News: My car was/is parked on a street where there's no towing until Wednesday morning.
The Bad News: I'll have to have it towed Monday morning to the shop.
The Good News: Insurance - for the towing.
The Bad News: We'll see what my mechanic says on Monday.

The Good News: I was only a 15 minute walk from my apartment.
The Better News: My friend, Steve, came by to try to jump my car battery (again - unfortunately, it did not work this time (oh, maybe that was Bad News again)), and he drove me back to my apartment.

So, I guess I had an "event" today. Didn't I?

DR MBarnum et al - Thanks for the Good Health Vibes! They did the trick! I guess my usual morning "fogginess" just lasted a bit longer than usual.

Oh...
Other Good News: It looks like I may have my 2004-5 season lined up within the next two weeks!

RE: Panda Express - Depending upon who's in the kitchen at a particular location, PE's Chinese Food can be quite good and near-authentic. I like their Orange Chicken, but don't love it - tastes more like Citrusy Chicken. My favorite PE dish is their Roast Pork - which is their version of Char Shiu Pork. Very good when it's fresh from the kitchen! *And two Chinese friends of mine - who grew up in China - say it's very, very close to "home cooking".

Well, I'm gonna catch the beginning of the 11:00 news, then try to get a few hours of non-anxious sleep, so I can be ready for the "beep-beep" of the taxi horn at 5:00AM.

-And if I don't check back in later... Bonne nuit!

A gracious good evening to dear esteemed, muliti-faceted, and always guapo BK --

Also, very warmest hellos to all of the lovely DRs, and my sincere thanks for so many nice B'day wishes and greetings.

The very end of last year and the start of this one was filled with unexpected sadness and loss for me. The weight of that, coupled with some work projects moving into high gear have had me not knowing which end is up.

I just have not been able to log on and read and enjoy both the notes-of-the-day and then all of the fascinating posts. I readily accept that I must probably stand in the darkest corner of the cellar, with the black beetles, for my E & T status.

All I can say is I'll try to take a peek as I can, and I accept and appreciate all good thoughts that are sent out into the ether.

And to the head pixie, the grand poobah, the all-time mensch of the world, Dear BK..... (to quote Olympia Dukakis)..." aw Bruce, you know I love you more than my luggage!"

At the risk of being burned at the stake (or steak) for heresy, I have never really enjoyed Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

At the risk of being tacky, can I light the first match!

Some 4 or 5 years after writing Moo-Goo-Gai-Pan, I heard Chinese Food In Bed on Donald Feltham's Broadway Radio Hour.

In internet lingo: GMTA

bk · « **Reply #139 on:** January 29, 2004, 08:22:14 PM »

What does GMTA stand for? And if we're counting dates, Chinese Food in Bed was written in 1984.

Nothing new to add to the discussion other that to say thanks to DR MBarnum for the scrumptuous pictures, both men yummilicious.

Got my 4 DVD-set of THE SHERLOCK HOLMES COLLECTION - Volume 3 with the last four of the Universal Sherlock Holmes/Basil Rathbone features. I can see how I'll be spending my time for part of this weekend. Now, if the two 20th Century-Fox period Holmes adventures with Rathbone will be remastered and put on DVD, I will be VERY fulfilled.

I like SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS, is it my fault that I happen to like the brothers more than the brides? ? ?
And, BK, Judy Kaye sings a splediforous "Wonderful, Wonderful Day" on a cd which YOU produced.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #148 on:** January 29, 2004, 09:09:39 PM »

I can't remember any of the brides. Were they in the film much?

The brides do have a charming song and dance in their underwear; if only the brothers did, too!
