Well, you've read the notes, you know that it is Thursday and that the week is flying by, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they've said it and they're glad, too.

Bad casting of "Hair". The cast of "Tea With Mussolini"

And the word of the day is: FRIZZY!

Good Morning!

I should be in bed already, so my bad Hair casting shall have to wait until morning. As will my choices for delicacies and unusual desserts. Although, most of the desserts I've tried have been more unfamiliar to me rather than unusual. The one thing that comes to mind right now are some baked pears served with a black pepper sorbet - quite wonderful. Perfect complements to each other.

Well, there are some Filipino dishes... But even I haven't tried those... No balut or dinaguan for me! YUCK!!!

FRIZZY and bad Hair casting...

Coincidence? I think not.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #5 on:** April 21, 2005, 12:17:39 AM »

And, yes, Anwar went home! And, thankfully, they cut him off a couple of seconds into his "farewell" performance - I was starting to cringe again each time he missed a note. Which was a lot!

RE: DUNDEE...I wouldn't think 12 minutes added to an already 140 minute movie could change it all that much. But I did read Kevin Thomas' positive review of it in the paper the other day and it happend to be playing (full screen) on the Westerns channel tonight (which I've sure is the old version). I know I saw it once long ago...found it confusing then...and don't think I've ever seen it all the way through since then...but it sort of looks like a dress rehearsal for The Wild Bunch...But I was intrigued enough seeing what I did to maybe give it a go...Oddly enough, I almost wandered off to the Nuart the other night to see it myself. Haven't been there in years.

Sorry, I don't eat odd things...desserts or delicacies...I have a very prosaic palate.

I heard an interesting song tonight on WMKV called I Love To Dance In The Old-Fashioned Way or Like They Used To Do...with the most unusual, but pleasant voice. I checked the website. It was Carol O'Connor. This bears more investigation.

Now I'm just trying to figure out if the band on "American Idol" is really playing - and whether or not they are really musicians or just actors getting paid scale. I remember during "Star Search" that the band was recorded beforehand in order to insure a good performance and good mix for the broadcast. -At least it was for my two friends who made it through a few rounds. The "live band" did play in studio, but they played with the track, so...

...And I'm definitely starting to ramble...

Goodnight.

I used to be frizzy quite often, but I lost all of that.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 21, 2005, 01:05:07 AM »

Now I am just shiny!

Just checked the list of people joining Mr BK and Penny Peyser at the Courts Show.

Now - when the crowds die down - and you have a moment, MR BK, you must ask Mr Tommy Cook about his co-starring role in MOHAWK with Miss Allison Hayes!!

Good morning, all! I've just finished the posts from last night, and I wanted to respond to a couple of them:

DRJose, about the DAMN YANKEES orchestrations I know very little outside of the fact they are credited to Don Walker for Broadway and God-knows-who for the film version, which I prefer to the OBC, even if most of the cast are the same. Don Walker in the 1950s was credited as orchestrator for a lot of shows on which he did little more than act as supervisor and farm out the work to other guys like Red Ginzler, Walter Goehr, Robert Noeltner, and Joe Glover. Steven Suskin's been examining Walker's shows and bookkeeping records at the Library of Congress. To be fair to Don, he was also starting up MTI with Mathilda Pincus for Frank Loesser, but a lot of the work we think is his on DAMN YANKEES and PAJAMA GAME (among many others) is not. I've seen the full scores to MOST HAPPY FELLA, and it's mainly Walker, with assistance from Ginzler. I suspect the DAMN YANKEES film has a bit of work by Ray Heindorf.

DRMattH, "The Continenetal" was written for the film version of THE GAY DIVORCE, while almost all the Cole Porter Broadway score was junked.

HAIR casting:
Berger . . . . David Gest
Woolf . . . .Richard Simmons
Claude . . . Eminem
Hud . . . . Michael Jackson
Sheila . . . Liza Minelli
Crissy . . . Paris Hilton
Jeanie . . . Anna Nicole Smith

I was never frizzy. My hair was quite shiny, and now so is my scalp!

Please post many pictures form the Ray Courts show this weekend. Allergies be damned!!!!

This is my cure when I get Frizzy

vixmom · « **Reply #18 on:** April 21, 2005, 06:40:48 AM »

Dan (the man) your casting is SO imperfect I shall not even attempt a list of my own, I bow before the master!!

vixmom · « **Reply #19 on:** April 21, 2005, 06:43:38 AM »

Jose I love the new picture!!

vixmom · « **Reply #20 on:** April 21, 2005, 06:44:18 AM »

I have not caught up to yesterday so I shall attempt to do so now.

vixmom · « **Reply #21 on:** April 21, 2005, 06:46:48 AM »

Also, A left over question from yesterday that I didn't get a chance to post:

To all our DR's who are professional writers:

When you write, do you just sit down and write and then revise later or do you actually use the methods drilled into us by years of English teachers: outlines, first drafts, second drafts etc etc....?

Jennifer · « **Reply #22 on:** April 21, 2005, 06:48:30 AM »

Hey DR Jose, what was the "stunt" on Idol that you thought was horrible? Was it Ryan asking Bo (who was safe) to go stand beside the group he thought was the top group? I didn't think that was mean before (plus they've done that before).

I actually like it when they put the 2 groups on stage. It was pretty obvious which was the bottom group (i picked all 3 of them). I was sad to see Anwar go (i thought he had so much potential at the beginning). I just wish they would have sent Scott home. Oh well probably next week.

Stuart · « **Reply #23 on:** April 21, 2005, 06:58:54 AM »

Greetings all. Nice new avatar, DR Jose.

Dan (the man) I hope you got my PM last night...the computer went wacky when I sent it, but I think it went through...if not, well, thanks for the link to that script!!! Way out of my price range probably, but boy would it be great to have!

vixmom · « **Reply #25 on:** April 21, 2005, 07:35:38 AM »

Just caught up on yesterday's posts. Thank you all (well maybe not you , you naughty TCB) for all those great song selections. I will try to get copies of them for the Vixter to listen to so she can pick something different than the usual "blockbuster" songs that everyone knows....

vixmom · « **Reply #26 on:** April 21, 2005, 07:36:41 AM »

DR Jose, you did not answer my question from yesterday so I'll take that as a "no"

Matt H. · « **Reply #27 on:** April 21, 2005, 07:36:47 AM »

Thanks to DR Ron last night and DR Elmore this morning for giving examples of additions to Broadway scores in movie versions that got Oscar nominations. I can't BELIEVE I forgot about "Lovely to Look At" in ROBERTA.

Matt H. · « **Reply #28 on:** April 21, 2005, 07:39:56 AM »

Yes, last year, Ryan asked George Huff to go join the group he thought was the safe group, and he joined the group with Jennifer, LaToya, and Fantasia. That, of course, ended up being the bottom group to the shock of the nation. There were no such shocks last night (though I still say that Vonzell and Carrie deserved to be in the bottom with Anwar based on Tuesday's performances.)

BTW, Bo was SO smart to go to the middle rather than choosing a group. I'll bet that got him some new fans for next week's voting.

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** April 21, 2005, 07:41:05 AM »

Bad HAIR day:

Claude -- Jerry Van Dyke
Berger -- (as always) Mickey Rooney
Woolf -- Dick Van Dyke
