Since Panni is in CA - shouldn't she be able to get that station on the practical radio?

1700 on the AM dial

No, I won't do it twice in a row.

Hello, Kimlets and Hainsies of the World!

Hmmm, I haven't seen enough movies with Tracy and/or Hepburn to have a decent personal selection --- shame on me, I know -- but, and that should amuse DR Elmore, I saw Guess Who's.... on its inital release here and I just fell in love with the movie....

I remember leaving the theater and saying to myself, "If one day I make films, I want to make films like this one!". As an excuse, I should say that I was 18 then....
I thought that Kate's niece looked rather nice and that song at the end still is one of my favorite ditties!

"You've Got to Give A Little,
Take a Little..."

Anyway.... it's going to be pretty old hat to most of you, but i saw a movie yesterday that is just being released here in France and I found totally entertaining, fun, witty, smart, moving, --- well, you get the hint! --- and I'm talking about:

MAMBO ITALIANO.

What a treat!
I don't watch TV so seing Paul Sorvino after so many years was a thrill; I know Ginette Reno as a singer -- a modern day Piaf in my book -- but I ignored she can be such a darn good actress...
Yes, I had a swell time... and I can only say; go and see this movie!
Who am I? Bruce Kimmel, all a sudden?

I've read most of the posts of the days I was not "here" and I want to quote DR PennyO:
"I guess I would change nothing about my current life. Except I would listen more carefully and talk less!"
I thought that was so sweet! Really!

"You've got to give a little, take a little
And let your poor heart break a little
That's the story of,
That's the glory of love"

Sorry for the mush! $:-\$

Who else is going to watch the FRIENDS final show?

To be honest, I've only watched the show for the last four years or so, so I'm not all that invested in it. But I am interested in the last episode...which, by the way, will be released on deeveedee next Tuesday. Really. A few of these discs "fell off the truck", so to speak, and are already in the hands of diehard Friends junkies.

I'm more interested in the series finale of Frasier, myself. I've always liked the show, but here's how frickin' clueless I am...I had no idea it was a Cheers spin-off until someone told me. I've still never seen an episode of it.

DR ROBIN I do the same thing. It's great to have them...and they are great reference!

Bruce is on right now!!!

Panni · « **Reply #128 on:** May 06, 2004, 05:20:13 PM »

Tried 1700 on the AM dial. If that's Bruce, he's doing a fine imitation of static.

I like Lion in Winter and It's a Mad Mad Mad World as long as I can fast forward through some of it!

Shouldn't that be either "...fast forward through some of them!" or "...Lion in Winter (insert comma) and It's a Mad Mad Mad World...

I'd hope that latter example, personally, since I can't imagine wanting to forward through the first film.

Don't mind me, it's been a long day and I'm in a picky mood.

Factoid of the Day from a new best seller about rats in NY.

..."New York subway workers call them track rabbits, and Sullivan writes that when rats are not foraging for food they are having sex. Rats, writes Sullivan, have sex 20 times a day with as many females as possible. Also, rats in all-male colonies will have sex with each other."

...I'm now going out to forage for food at Gelson's.

Not Andrew Sullivan, I trust.

What a blast. She was very smart and asked great questions and it was all simply too too.

Julia Jordan, librettist, and Laurence O'Keefe, lyricist, are winners of this year's Kleban Award. They've collaborated with each other (on The Mice - the first part of a never-made-it-to-New-York show, 3hree). I think they're worthy choices and my hat is off to both of them.

Uh, you may have a detail wrong here, Noel. According to the 3hree CD, Jordan indeed wrote the libretto (which is quite good), but O'Keefe wrote the music, not lyrics.

Personally, I found the entire evening to be quite enjoyable, but in combination with Prymate this again underscores my question: Why does everything have to go to Broadway? Clearly, Prymate was not good material, and the investment would have been better made with another show.

On the other hand, having seen 3hree, I can understand it not being considered "good enough" for Broadway, as it is not the kind of show that hits an audience over the head in any way. But it should have been given a chance off-Broadway. The only reason I can think of where it was not given that chance was because Hal Prince was connected with the show.

(Noel: If you happen to know either O'Keefe or Jordan personally, let them know that I found their work very enjoyable. The scene where Virga frees the mice was particularly well-written, lovingly layered.)

Evening all!

Guess I missed Bruce on the radio, huh? I'm sorry. I wish I could have heard that interview! Will it be repeated?

I'm still fusing with my PDA, trying to get it to connect to the internet. I'm so ticked because there just has to be a way but I'm not smart enough to figure it out.

I think Little Women is my very favorite film. I know there are others but strap me if I can think of any right now.

Jose, I am so glad your getting better.

Who mentioned grits again? Who was it that had never had them? I don't mind them. They are not a favorite of mine but I will eat them with sugar and milk. I know others like them with butter.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #140 on:** May 06, 2004, 06:11:05 PM »

I have never watched an episode of Friends.

I never watched an episode of Seinfeld.

I have never watched an episode of Survivor.

I do not feel that I am incomplete because of not having watched Friends or Seinfeld or Survivor.

PPPBBBBBBTTTTTTTT!

And that, as they say, is the state of the art.

(Thank-you, Mr. Sondheim.)

I think I've seen one or two Suvivors but other than that, I'm with you! Never saw any of the other shows mentioned and don't feel I've missed a thing.

T'was I, DR Danise! T'was I who had never had them, and made them, and found them good. Der Brucer was very happy that I made them, too, enjoying their light corn flavor. We had them with pepper and butter, and I believe that I would enjoy them with grated cheese blended in, as well.

I can see them working well as a breakfast food, with sugar and milk. Interesting, how the same food can make a good breakfast cereal and a dinner side dish. I don't know of any other dish that can do this!

I was going to offer to send you a box of the instant kind but I'm glad you got to try them. I think I've said that my Dad called them "Georga Ice Cream". I don't really know why.

New internet scam I just heard about on the news... Legitimate looking doc from Wells Fargo or other institution saying that because of some computer glitch they have lost all your files and ask you to fill out a form supplying info.
Apparently, people actually fall for this.

I'm trying to get a copy of the radio interview - if I do, I'll figure out a way to put it up here.

That would be GREAT, Bruce!

I was SO hungry that my stomach was aching... So I ate really fast, wolfing it down...and now my stomach is hurting because I ate too fast. Can't win.
