I've been listening to the wonderful Grant Geissman Nudie Musical instrumentals done for the documentary on the DVD. A couple of them actually gave me some ideas about arrangements for the show, and possibly new settings for a couple of non-descript throwaways like Orgasm. I've never thought about doing that number any other way, but it's really only a twenty-five-second song, so I'm going to look at that.
I forgot Guy Haines makes an appearance on Grant's version of I Don't Have To Hide Anymore. Have I ever told the story of who I wrote that song for? It wasn't written for Nudie at all, it was written a year prior.

Let the guessing begin.

The Twenty-Five Second Orgasm
A very popular self-help book, published in the late '70s, by Emalia Twitch.
I'll leave it to your imaginations as to what she titled the sequel.

GRANDEE Patinkin ENRAGED viewers of his television series Criminal Brains, simply because he'd decided he was too important a person to appear on the tiny screen any more. The writers of the show finally explained his character's departure by saying he had sat on a GRENADE (an event that, thankfully, took place off-camera).

TOD:
Currently reading Build a Better Burger, by James McNair. It's the freebie I got on the latest order from Jessica's Biscuit.
And, yes, I know that a lot of what is in the book can also be found over at the Sutter Home website (http://www.sutterhome.com/). But let's face it, there's something about holding an actual book in your hands that is mighty appealing. And the book has more pretty pictures, some of which cry out to be licked. (That's why they call it food porn, kids.)

And, because DR Matt will probably forget -
Tonight, on the SciFi Channel:
At 8:00, Sarah Jane must find out who these people are, who claim that her adopted son Luke is their own, on The Sarah Jane Adventure: The Lost Boy.
And, at 9:00, The Doctor, Donna and Martha must save the world from the Sontarans, in Doctor Who: The Poison Sky.
(And then, at 10:00, there's another episonde of Battlestar Galactica, but I don't bother with watching that show.)

I watched a bit of SHADOW ON THE WINDOW when it was on the other morning. They certainly had Betty Garrett glammed up, but I didn't believe it for a second when her character claimed to be 27 years old.
I thought Corey Allen as a blond was very handsome. And John Drew Barrymore was very intense. The other hoodlum was played by an actor named Gerald Sarracini, and he was pretty good. I didn't remember the name or the face, so I looked him up on the IMDB....
Shockingly - later in 1957, the year WINDOW was released, he was playing the young Romanoff character on Broadway in Peter Ustinov's Romanov And Juliet, after the Christmas Eve performance, he and a friend were walking home and were attacked by a gang of thieves. He died as a result of the beating on December 27, 1957.

Hello From Montreal.
Nothing scheduled on any media front, but might take my nephew to a movie.
You miss one day on the internet because of traveling and you miss so much.
In case it wasn't mentioned, but Harvey Korman passed away. We are losing more and more (due to age) of our great performers. I think the actors of today who come and go so quickly now won't have the same impact when they pass on.
I will miss Korman's comedic talents. He made me laugh and that was so important. That is his legacy.
-
I wonder where my copy of South Pacific is? I pre-ordered but I haven't yet received it. Hmmm.
-
Yes, DR MICHAELS - Harvey Korman was a fine comic actor, and a great foil for Burnett.
-
I won't be seeing Sex and the City tonight. All evening performances (at least at Chelsea Cinemas) are sold out and I don't want to see the movie at 2am or 9am (I do have to work ya know). We will aim for tomorrow or Sunday. My friend is supposed to pick up tickets but he's not an early riser like me so I can't call yet and tell him which viewings still have tickets. I know I can buy the tickets on line but at $12 a ticket I WILL NOT pay a fee for the privilege of purchasing the tickets over the Internet. It's the same reason I won't buy tickets from TicketMaster or Telecharge.

Yes, I can imagine standing in line for an hour or more for a burger and a shake, but I'm not sure I would really ever do that. However, I did stand in line at Garrett's Popcorn in Chicago for an hour - it's soooo much better in Chicago - so, one never rule out the possibility.

Construction Crane Collapses in New York City, at Least Two Reportedly Dead
Firefighters and rescue workers are combing through the wreckage for more possible victims after a construction crane collapsed on New York City's Upper East Side Friday, reportedly killing at least two people and critically wounding at least one.
The crane smashed into a high-rise apartment building at East 91st Street and First Avenue before crashing more than a dozen stories onto the street below. Firefighters were worried that the part of the crane still standing was not stable and barred people from the immediate area around the collapse.

Police Find $11 Million Worth of Marijuana in Georgia Woods
Friday , May 30, 2008
CHEROKEE, Ga. —
Acting on a tip, sheriff's deputies in Cherokee County confiscated more than 9,300 marijuana plants in a remote wooded area. Sgt. Jay Baker, a sheriff's spokesman, said the pot was seized Wednesday on land leased by a hunting club.
He said the illegal crop was found growing in two irrigated fields. Investigators also found evidence that someone was watching the plants.
Baker said no arrests were made, but the investigation continues.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, each marijuana plant was worth an estimated $1,200 — making the find worth more than $11 million.

Shayne, I can't remember much about either episode of This Is The Life, which was some sort of religious show with half-hour dramas. In fact, the only real thing I remember is how fast they were shot - two-and-a-half days, with the next episode beginning as the last one was wrapping. My memory is that when we came in to begin, the legendary Lee Roll 'Em Sholem was wrapping his episode and I heard him say his immortal line, "Cut, print, over there" after one take.

Whether a critic gives the fiim 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 stars will not matter because the people who see it and love it will be fans of the series and I don't think they'll be disappointed in the least. I loved the film, and on my way out, I heard a young lady saying to her friends "I cried during a lot of it." Well, so did I: it's romantic, very funny, dark, unhappy, wise. and maybe a bit silly but it works very well as a tie-up to the series. The fifth character in the series always was Manhattan, and it can be equally romantic, funny, dark, bleak, and still the only place I ever really want to live.
I'll reveal no plot points but the audience I was with, mostly women and gay men, seemed to be having a wonderful time and to be totally committed to it: at one point a woman in the audience uttered a loud, "No shit!" and at another point burst into happy applause at the resolution of a storyline. I'll give it a couple of days and go back to see it again. Now I want to watch the entire sereis on DVD.
After a wonderful lunch with our DR Jose, I'm off to make an unhappy phone call.

I didn't particularly notice anything new. But not sure.

Anyhow, i did enjoy last night's show.b ut as i said, i think the last reveal was supposed to be a huge shocker. And i think that if i had not been overthinking things it would have been huge.
I just thought, "who would make the biggest impression being in that casket". And locke was my first guess! Although how great that the name he used was jeremy benfry (or whatever, to make us think it was ben!).

I loved Locke as the new leader of The Others.
My favorite line last night was ben. Locke: "you just killed everyon on the boat." Ben: "so". ha ha ha.
So sad seeing jin just not make it on the boat. And seeing sun go crazy. Liked the future scenes with sun and Mr. Widmore.
Loved penny and desmond's reunion. tear jerker!!!!!!

Does anyone know if the people who "died" last night are gone from the show? I mean the person in the casket can still live on the island till that time. but for the others. Will they be back at all? I am most curious re: jin. I would hate to never see him again. But the spoilers i read today said "3 original cast members die in last night's show". So i'm just wondering if he is gone for good.

DR George, i know that if someone dies on the show it does not mean they are gone (especially in the cast of the coffin). But when Michael Aussiello writes that "3 original castmembers die" as his scoop. Then i think there is a good chance that the 2 on the boat may not be coming back. I pray jin does. But who knows?

Good Afternoon!
Ah, yes, "Sex & The City" was quite wonderful. I was surprised at how touching it was at times - and how emotional I got while watching the movie. In fact, I know I stifled a couple of tears, and I have a feeling they may burst forth from me at any moment.
It is definitely a movie for the fans of the series. Heck, even the series had some good, better and best episodes.
And, yes, New York City is certainly a featured character in the movie. Even my beloved Central Park Reservoir was featured a couple of times. :)
*My own self-giggle came from realizing that I recognized all but one of the restaurants in the movie just from their interiors - most of them were not named - by name or marquee or awning. Scary! I'm guessing some places on the Upper East Side and down in the Meatpacking District are going to experience quite a spike in business over the next few weeks. ;)
-
As for "Lost"....
The New York Times had a great wrap-up of sorts in yesterday's paper. Worth a read if it's still available online.
As for the "mysterious visitor's" name, well... It rang a bell for me, and then after looking it up online, and finding the historical source of the name, well... It made sense. -Of course, now I'm wondering if all the historically-based names actually mean something, of if the writers are just throwing them out there in order to make everyone think and/or possibly mislead their viewership.
-
DR elmore - It was great seeing you again this morning too! So... Are you Carrie, Miranda or Samantha? -I'm most definitely Charlotte! ;D
*And thanks for lunch!
-
In other news, I stopped into Laytner's after lunch, and picked out a new shower curtain and liner which I shall install/hang later.
I was going to go ahead and head back to the Park since it's such a glorious day here in NYC, but then I got a call from a friend I coached yesterday afternoon. She had an audition for the upcoming production of Hair that the Public will be mounting in Central Park this summer this morning - which was why she had asked me to coach her yesterday afternoon. Well, she had a great audition this morning, and she got a callback! And the callback is tomorrow. So, in a couple of minutes, I will head back downtown to go over the additional music they gave her. :)
*And if she gets the show, you can bet I'm gonna pull that string for tickets. I have a feeling the lines for those free tickets will be quite lengthy this summer.

POINT BLANK
Has anyone here seen THE RICHES? Minnie Driver's performance is INDEED impressive, but I have mixed feeings about the material. My friend Sydney really likes the series and has convinced met to continue with it, but I'd like feedback from our DRs, if anyone here has seen it.
DR Jeanne - I've watched a couple episodes of "The Riches" and found it fascinating and confusing at the same time. The material is most definitely mixed, however, the main basis for the series is also a bit convoluted - albeit somewhat plausible, so... ???
Whenever I watched it, I just found myself being distracted my Minnie Driver's lack of English accent, and Eddie Izzard's somewhat indeterminate one. (Ah, and almost Drood reference.) ;)

Hmmm.... I just read Manohla Dargis' review of "Sex & The City" in The Times...

My personal hunch is Jin is not quite dead yet, but then this show has proven repeatedly it's not adverse to killing folk off.

That bi-yatch needs to get laid!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I just read her review online and looked at all the reader responses; the positives are more than the negatives but, as I said, the hardcore fans will love it; it's like seeing old friends after a period of time, approving and disapproving their choices , and catching up on gossip. The reviewer bitched about the length of the movie. The film's about as long as 3 tv episodes (140+ minutes) and I thought it flew by. After all, they've got four ladies' stories to balance and also bring back favorite side characters like Magda and the two gay men. I also liked the addition of Jennifer Hudson.

I truly feel Jin was not killed but that we were supposed to think he was so that when he shows up in the middle of next season, we'll all be shocked. Then again, I still don't understand what happened to Claire, so there you go.

So glad to hear these positives about SEX AND THE CITY. Even if I don't make it to the theater, I'm sure I'll enjoy seeing it on some form of disc, either DVD or Blu-ray.

I began my afternoon with another episode of NCIS while I cooked and ate lunch. It was another season 1 episode as a mummified corpse of a sailor was found with some elaborate means needed to identify him and catch his killer.
Melora Hardin (who plays Jan on THE OFFICE) was the principal guest star.
-
I got through five episodes of 7TH HEAVEN, all more insipid than the last though the quickie marriage between Matt and Sarah was pretty interesting. But the families' acting like this is the worst thing that could ever happen was just silly. (She's Jewish; he's not.)
-
Naturally there was a really lame episode about Muslim prejudice. Not that it isn't a worthwhile topic for an episode (or ten), but it was handled in such a Pollyanna way. It just set my teeth on edge.
-
I finished the afternoon watching another NCIS episode. This one involved discovered drug (Meth) use on board an aircraft carrier, and it featured two of my favorite guest actors: Joel Gretsch and Larry Sullivan.
-
I'll skim through AS THE WORLD TURNS when I go back down and then spend the remainder of the evening with 7TH HEAVEN. I'm on the next to last disc in the set (only 6 more episodes to go). The end is in sight!

Hiya, kids, hiya -
So I'm scrambling to get outa here on Monday morning, get a show book to the guy taking over music on my show (which has been extended for 2 weeks), when last night, during intermission, I walked into much mayhem, sturm, und drang in the dressing room... seems the actor/pianist for whom I had built a new book for - and was scheduled to meet today to go over stuff - is persona non grata, having broken up with his girlfriend (our leading lady) and made a play for her understudy... oy. Most of the gals are good friends, having worked together before, off and on for years... They are all flocking to support the LL, and trooped into the office after the show to tell the Boss that they will NOT work with that so-and-so. So...
Today I have to figure out how to record music for the two live songs some time between now and 9 ayem Monday morn, and find some CD's of Purcell/Dowland/John (you should forgive the last name) Blow and other period music, to take to the show tonight for Someone to record onto a show CD... AND cobble together a cues list... All the while, collecting and sorting through my stuff and packing my car and writing two articles with looming deadlines...
Ah, la vita artistica!! I'm beginning to feel like Elmore!
-
The ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY review of the movie matches a lot of my opinion and gives it a B+ rating. I had forgotten the episodes were 25-28 minutes long, so the film's as long as 5 episodes. Why did I think they were 50 minutes? Getting old, I guess.

'LOST' SPOILAGE
Alertthemedia alerthemedia alertthemedia theOceanix6aregoingback. Or so it would appear. If there are to be four more seasons, we are SURELY going to have one hell of a ride between now and then. I loved, loved, loved (I "think" that's three "loveds")last night's episode. It was the shortest two hours I've experienced in a long, long, long (I'm fairly certain that's three "longs") time.
What an engrossing and explosive (pun intended) season finale! I was starting to warm up to the character of Keamy and began imagining him being stranded on the island and following Locke. Of course, that "could" still happen given the nature of death and where he died (if he "truly" died). I'd KILL for an expanded "pop-ups" version of last night's show. We have mystery upon mystery. And when Jack's dad told Michael he could leave, was the explosion "instantaneous" or did he, and Jin, and others, have a chance to get off the boat before the explosion?
DR JEnnifer, I don't believe there are answers to any of your questions regarding whether or not we'll see any of those people left behind on the boat. Unless the creators let something leak to the media about the possibilities, we'll have to wait and see.
I see I've missed a lot of discussion on this busy, busy, busy (that's virtually three "busys") Friday, but I've been engaged elsewhere in a battle against megalomania and sheer stupidity. But that's another story and totally not worthy of this company.

Whether a critic gives the fiim 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 stars will not matter because the people who see it and love it will be fans of the series and I don't think they'll be disappointed in the least. I loved the film, and on my way out, I heard a young lady saying to her friends "I cried during a lot of it." Well, so did I: it's romantic, very funny, dark, unhappy, wise. and maybe a bit silly but it works very well as a tie-up to the series. The fifth character in the series always was Manhattan, and it can be equally romantic, funny, dark, bleak, and still the only place I ever really want to live.
I'll reveal no plot points but the audience I was with, mostly women and gay men, seemed to be having a wonderful time and to be totally committed to it: at one point a woman in the audience uttered a loud, "No shit!" and at another point burst into happy applause at the resolution of a storyline. I'll give it a couple of days and go back to see it again. Now I want to watch the entire sereis on DVD.
After a wonderful lunch with our DR Jose, I'm off to make an unhappy phone call.
I'm afraid that I may have to turn in my toaster oven; but I have no desire to see the movie version of SEX AND THE CITY, even to see Chris Noth.

The last time a Broadway Musical Sequel took place on Coney Island it went into the crapper. Anyone remember the now infamous Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge?
I think the last successful musical to take place on Coney Island was On the Town and that was over 60 years ago.
-
Mind you, I am not saying that I wish this to happen, by any means. But...
Wouldn't it be interesting to see the police report of DR TCB broadsiding himself while trying to take that picture?
-
I saw Annie 2 twice in its D.C. tryout, and I guess there was a song about Coney Island according to google, but the Coney Island aspect doesn't stick out in my mind as being crucial to the plot.
-
I had a lovely afternoon with fundraisers at Wright State University, dropped in to see my former boss who works there, and ended my day 2 hours early. Had my hair cut and went out to dinner with DH Richard.
-
Of course, Annie 2 rose from the crapper to be resurrected as Annie Warbucks, which had a respectable run (about 200 perfs) off-Broadway, although not a hit.

I stopped at Marie Callender's for a meal and to work on the second act of Nudie. Our latest cast addition is a corker - Miss Sharon McNight as Eunice; couldn't be happier! All that's left is Eddie, the backer. I figured out which ensemble people would read which of the many parts that have to be doubled, so that's done. But the good thing I got done was removing the camera crane from the Dancing Dildos scene - replacing it with a lot of fun slapstick, just not on the crane. It was surprisingly easy to do and in certain ways will be even more chaotic, at least for the stage.
-
Of course, I now have to type in all these changes into the master script and I need to e-mail said script to about four of the participants, who'd like a little time with it so it's not completely cold. Miss McNight has graciously agreed to learn her song - I have to check the version I recorded and if it's clear enough, I'll send that to her, and then schedule a rehearsal to make sure the key is fine.

As someone said about this video on another board: It's simply crap-tastic! :)
I guess Nell Carter played Miss Hannigan in the revival of ANNIE, I thought it was the squel.

DR Vixmom - are we really on here at the same time?

In other news...
Another good coaching, and I'm hoping my friend does well tomorrow at her audition. Like all actors, she has a tendency to get a little too into her head at times - which is complicated by her Yale schooling. ;) The songs sit very well in her voice. All she really has to work on is getting the lyrics in the right order.

Yes, she played Miss Hannigan in one of the many revivals of Annie. However, if I recall, the Nell Carter revival also featured a new song for Miss Hannigan which was written for Ms. Carter.
-And I'm guessing that song and others will be included on the forthcoming 30th Anniversary recording of the show.
-
Ah, yes. It was a song cut from Hair. It was eventually replaced by "East To Be Hard".
That is the name of my next novel about the filming of EAST OF EDEN.

Thanks, Ginny.

After leaving the Lower East Side with baked goods in tow, I headed over to Chelsea to meet up with my friend, Carl, for dinner. We ended up supping at the Hollywood Diner, which, I believe, is just down the stairs from DR Ben's abode. After dinner, he headed on up to the Cort to see The 39 Steps, and I headed on home.
Whew!
-
That is the name of my next novel about the filming of EAST OF EDEN.
Shoot!
Ah, well... "Easy To Be Hard".
-
-Which I guess could be used for a Viagra or Scialis commercial.
-
Why does "East to be hard" sound almost like the punchline to one of Bette Midler's Sophe jokes?

Cilla says I am alone in the boat because I have an STD.

Isn't that a florist?

And speaking of Baked Goods...
The Pretzel Croissant (http://www.pretzelcroissant.com/)
*A treat so unique - and revered in some circles - that it has its own web-site!

Yeah? Well I am still trying for the erection lasting more than four hours.

Any excuse to see that cute doctor, huh?

I hope it tastes better than it looks.

I'm all caught up with THE TUDORS: heads rolled one after another. William Brereton's false charge, after a head-to-head with Cromwell on another matter, was left out of the storyline, which would have reinforced the witch hunt. George Boleyn's wife in this production is more wronged than just plain crazy, although she certainly condemned him fast enough. My memory of her in the SIX WIVES OFV HENRY VIII is much meaner and evil; she'll get hers in Catherine Howard's story if the series goes that long.

Great to see you Ginny! I have missed you !

They can always discuss whatever comes up.

I guess there wouldn't be much to discuss.

Today I walked in my backyard and this is what I saw
-
Congratulations, vixmom, on your weight loss!
-
I am missing Doctor Who!!
later gators!!

Objects in mirror....
-
I gotta tell you.
-
Tell the Vixter the new Adriana Hofstetter mystery will be hers very soon.
-
The Vixter looks like she's ready for summer vacation 8)
-
So many things I said back in 2006 that I wish I hadn't said. :)
Shall we have a "DO OVER"? :)
-
Love the Vixter in a tree photo. She looks so happy.
-
People come, people go, like Grand Hotel. Just finished a good motion picture via TIVO.
-
I suppose I shall now do some proofing, then entering Nudie changes.
-
DR Ron,
There are only two more seasons of LOST left, not four. 32 episodes in all are left.

Matt, I am curious. When you review a show like 7TH HEAVEN that you so thoroughly dislike; do you slam the show because it isn't your cup of tea, or are you reviewing it more for the quality of the DVD and the extras that are lncluded?
I can send you a link once the review goes up so you can see for yourself (it's going up later tonight), but if you want to spare yourself the trouble, I can answer here.
I admit such a show is not my cup of tea in the review (though I try to be as objective as possible by finding the good among the bad. I have rarely flat out panned anything. There's usually something positive to say if one looks for it. Being nasty and sarcastic is easy, but I don't go for that kind of blanket panning.) Still, no reviewer worth his salt is going to like everything, so the thing about reading reviewers is if you're going to depend on them to guide your viewing choices, then you find one who seems to jive with your own likes and dislikes. Or you if you don't need guidance for that, you read them for information and fun.
My reviews, as are all the reviews on better sites, critique the material as well as the quality of the video, audio, and bonuses. I think all of those things are vital to someone wanting to decide whether to rent or buy a certain title.
-
This morning I went for a walk, but I can't post the photo of what I saw. This is a family site.
-
And a cup of tea
And mystery
And vixter in a tree
-
Well, I'm happy to say that I did indeed finish 7TH HEAVEN tonight. There was a heap of foolishness about the Jewish father of the bride and the Christian father of the groom weren't going to attend the wedding (enough to spread over TWO episodes). Peter Graves (as the father of the Christian father) talked sense finally to his son and made him see his utter stupidity.
-
There was also a memorial episode in honor of a Marine who was killed in the war that youngest daughter Ruthie was writing as a pen pal. Based on a real soldier. As the season I've watched happened during 9/11, such a tribute episode isn't surprising.
-
Page Ten Dorothy Dance!!!
-
There were no bonus features on the disc, so I ended up actually with two hours to spare once I finished the episodes.
-
I watched two NCIS episodes to finish disc 2 of the set.
The first one had to do with a sabotage aboard a submarine with the team trying to locate the guilty party. Very good episode. This is the first one that introduced Timothy McGee to the show. (He hadn't become a regular yet.)
-
The second episode took the team to Guantanomo Bay to check out a potential murderer there among some prisoners.
In this episode, Tony knew nothing about classic movies. He had never seen SHANE, didn't even know who Alan Ladd was, and knew nothing about THE MALTESE FALCON.
Obviously this changed by the time I started watching the show in season 4. He's now a movie buff who's forever quoting lines from films.
-
Yes! And next, we're going to water the front lawn and then sit and watch it grow!
Not in Georgia, you're not!
-
Actually, I'm about to sit down and watch the entire 3rd Rock episode from which DR Edisaurus posted that clip a few days ago. With my 3-D glasses on! :)
I actually was looking at ordering that season, just to see the whole episode. It's interesting that they brought in a completely different director just to direct the dream sequences!
I've probably watched that clip a dozen times. It's really sublime!
-
Heading down to bed now.
Good night!
-
I really like TCB's new avatar, too!
-
Dr Singsing, let me know how the 3D glasses work.
I mean...does it look 3D?
-
Post #18018 should be special, too!
And what is this one?
-
I am only 1 page ahead of Dr Laura in quantity of posts. She is way ahead of me in quality, however!
-
It's after midnight---maybe now DR can post her picture!

Finished entering the rather large amounts of fixes to the stage direction and dialogue of Dancing Dildos - boy will it be fun to stage and I think I compensated for not having the camera crane.
-
I also proofed three more book chapters and am almost halfway through that process and still finding the occasional thing I missed the last nine times I've done this. So annoying.
-
I truly find it nauseating in extremis that I made the last post at nine-thirty and all you hainsies/kimlets just deserted the site. How unseemly and I shall ponder the punishment, oh, yes, I shall ponder the punishment.
