I spent the evening watching three movies. I can't say much about the first one except that it was a thrill to see it again after so long. I had forgotten so much in decades away from it.

The second one was QUANTUM OF SOLACE on Blu-ray which I was watching for the second time. I liked it a little more this second time around. I still thought Bond's final fight with his nemesis was ludicrous and the Bonds girls weren't very interesting at all.

But now that Bond has put Vespa Lynn behind him, maybe the next one will be a little lighter in tone.

I finished my evening with the 1931 PRIVATE LIVES from the Warner Archive collection. Yes, it's an old video master cluttered with age specks and debris (though the second half of the film looks better than the first). And the primitive sound of the time is hissy and fizzy.

But sharpness is OK and it looks certainly as good as the TCM broadcast version. In fact, this IS the broadcast version since the disc begins with the Turner logo.

Had a wonderful evening! Dinner at Artie's with physical dish(es) and other dish then a 1977 BBC Production of

The Country Wife

It's a play I read in college and have never seen. Thank God for those Brits and Restoration plays. I don't know that many American actors could pull this off anymore. It's a lost art doing this kind of theatre.

At Intermission we had Little Pie Shop Pecan Pie and Hagen Daz Vanilla Ice Cream. I shall need an hour on the bike tomorrow to make up for that little treat.

Thank you, Elmore for a wonderful evening. The day was gorgeous and the film was a lovely way to end it.

Have a couple of computer items to tidy up and then I'm heading down to bed.

Good night!

She also told me a funny story about how, when she was 12, she was going to run away to Bombay with a group of prostitutes who she thought were movie stars.

Turned out they only worked as extras.  :D

How was she finally able to determine the difference?

I enjoy Dame Helen Mirran's performances, but I am distressed at her anti-American sentiments expressed here and there.  If that is the way she feels, she can stay home and earn her money in the Old Country.

I received my INSIDE DAISY CLOVER cd and it is quite the listening experience.  I am surprised that professionals other than MR BK were not able to identify Ms Joanie Sommers as the "ghost" on the one track.....I recognized her immediately!

Well, now it's time for me to leave work, get something to eat, then work concessions for Masterworks Choral Ensemble: Spring Time: Modern Style.

Quote
We all long to return to a simpler time, a more innocent age. So it was with John Rutter when he decided to compile a collection of his favorite folk songs from the British Isles. As he puts it, traditional songs form a “common musical currency.”

For Springtime, Masterworks performs Rutter’s collection, “The Sprig of Thyme,” alongside Jonathan Willcocks’ modern composition, “Lux Perpetua.” In “Lux Perpetua” the solemn threat and heavy tread of war is powerfully interspersed with tender prayers for peace. This timeless work calls us to reflect on the significance of peace and unity in our lives today.

I don't know how much of it I'll actually get to see.  When working concessions, we have to have things cleaned up before we can go in to watch.  And if there's an intermission, we have to leave before the end of the first part/act to set up for intermission.  Fortunately, this isn't a performance that I specifically asked to see, but I will be able to hear it from the lobby.

I would enjoy hearing the Masterworks summer Show Tune Concert in June.  George, is that also at the Washington Center?

Yes.  As far as I know, they always perform their major concerts at the WCPA.

Good Evening!

Well, at least I had a wonderful post-show meal at FIG tonight...

The technology gods were not with me tonight in the pit. A very frustrating evening.  However, we did have a pretty full house, and we got a standing ovation tonight.

*And I have to thank Andrew (one of my bartenders) for pulling some strings in the kitchen tonight.  The Salted Caramel-Chocolate Pot de Crème is actually not on the menu yet.  A few nights ago, I noticed that some of the staff were sampling the new dessert.  Well, tonight I figured I might as well ask if there was still a "sample" in the kitchen, and, lo and behold, there was!
