Well, you've read the notes, the notes whiled, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently whiling away the hours watching MOOvies.

And the word of the day is: TATTERDEMALION!

Nobody here but us chickens.

Well, and our eight GUESTS.

From the article on the tomatoes now being okay to eat:
"But Thursday's move, coming as the tomato industry estimates its losses at more than $100 million, doesn't mean that tomatoes harvested in the spring are cleared. It just means that the tomatoes in fields and stores today are safe to eat, said Dr. David Acheson, the Food and Drug Administration's food safety chief.
"This is not saying that anybody was absolved," Acheson said. But, "as of today, FDA officials believe that consumers may now enjoy all types of fresh tomatoes available without concern of becoming infected with salmonella Saintpaul," the outbreak strain.
Early on, there was good evidence linking certain raw tomatoes to the sick, Acheson stressed. Yet inspectors haven't found the outbreak strain of salmonella Saintpaul on any farms, in suspect areas of south Florida and parts of Mexico, where they've managed to trace tomatoes thought eaten by patients.
As the outbreak stretched into last month, more evidence emerged against fresh jalapenos _ the FDA's hottest lead for now. The agency sent inspectors to a Mexican packing house that supplied peppers linked to a cluster of those illnesses.
Also still on the suspect list is fresh cilantro."
These people had no clew and obviously still have no clew. They say it's okay to eat tomatoes but won't absolve them completely. Say what? And now they've moved on to peppers and cilantro. Since I don't like either, I suspect they're the culprits.
-
Make that eleven GUESTS.
-
bk, glad you had that nice meeting yesterday afternoon.
Enjoyed the Penn & Teller clips.
And congratulations on the nice EP review and interview.
And I did respond on the board - I offered you a place to stay at our house!! But it's not in Manhattan. Why not use DR JoseSPiano's room...he's off gallivanting on a cruise! ;)
-
DR Cillaliz, your house looks GORGEOUS!!! :D
DR Edi, thanks for the recipe!
Oh, and my DH has worked quite a bit with Dave Brubeck.
DR TCB, thanks for the lovely photo of DD Magnus.
DR JoseSPiano, thanks for the updates. Sounds like you're having a marvelous time, and after today you'll be completely on vacation! :D
-
Watched the film Sordid Lives last night, which I had never seen. Thought it was a hoot from start to finish! And as DRs Ron Pulliam and Matt H. have mentioned, soon to be a series on LOGO.

AMC is broadcasting a complete Season 1 MAD MEN marathon this coming Sunday.

TOD:
Listening to two CD's by young up-and-coming Cabaret singer Sheera Ben-David (http://www.sheerabendavid.com/live/). She has gotten some deservedly rave notices from the major papers for her appearances at The Oak Room. I am enjoying her performances a great deal.

RIP, Jo Stafford!

Well, no surprise there:
The NY Times allowed Charles Isherwood to re-review [title of show] (http://theater2.nytimes.com/2008/07/18/theater/reviews/18titl.html?ref=theater#)'s opening last night, and it's a very positive notice. :)
-
Good morning DR Ben.
-
CD: Maureen McGovern - A Long and winding Road.
I suspect this will be buried away like "The Beat Goes On".
No matter the talent - I prefer the original pop recordings.
I prefer other Cds by both Maureen Mc and Liz C.
-
I've not watched a DVD for a while.
Tomorrow's listening will quite likely be by The Carpenters - singing Christmas songs.
-
Good evening to you, DR Tomovoz.
Still keeping you and DP Colin in my thoughts.
I am still trying to wrap my mind around Christmas being a summer holiday where you are. :)
-
singdaw- Why do you say the NY Times "allowed" Charles Isherwood to re-review [title of show]?
I think it's the norm in the past few years that when Charles Isherwood reviewed the earlier incarnation [like In the Heights, Passing Strange, Spelling Bee, Adding Machine, August: Osage County], he also reviews the later incarnation.
-
Of course, the COMPANY revival was a notable exception. Isherwood gave it the move-this-show review in Cincinnatti, Brantley reviewed it on Broadway.
-
Since I mentioned the "norm," can we expect singdaw to post a photo of Norm Lewis? :)
-
DR FJL - poor choice of words. I meant exactly what you said - that it was no surprise that Isherwood re-reviewed it for Broadway precisely because he had reviewed it prior.
And I was making no judgement. :)
-
Since I mentioned the "norm," can we expect singdaw to post a photo of Norm Lewis?
I always try to do the unexpected. 8)

Maybe Norm from CHEERS?

I'm not sure what I'm going to watch this weekend. If a promised DVD copy of ONLY THE VALIANT arrives, I'll watch that. It stars Gregory Peck & features my friend, Michael Ansara.
On the other hand, I might just bite the bullet and go see THE DARK KNIGHT. I'm not a big fan of superhero movies, but this one is getting such sensational reviews....
Of course, my wife wants to see MAMA MIA, which hasn't been getting such great reviews.
Decisions. Decisions.

Good morning, all! I slept late for a change, and I have a day of events in the works: NYPL around 11 am and a meeting abpout the NYMF show at 2 pm. I'm also working on this number for Kip Wilborn that I need to finish over the weekend.
Tomorrow, I will be E&T most of the day. I'm going to Massapequa on the Long Island Railroad at 8:30 am for a band rehearsal of the evening's concert with Daniel Rodriguez. I'll ride out with the conductor and soem friends, help the librarian get the music on the stands, make any fixes in my chart after I hear it and come back to Manhattan on the next train after rehearsal.
I just heard the good news that the restoration of Rodgers & Hart's "Spring Is Here" has been approved, so I have a new restoration job along with the just-approved "Life Begins at 8:40" restoration for the Library of Congress. It's nice to know there's work down the pike.

Bruce,
Your mention of THE CISCO KID in the blog brings back some fond...and also some bittersweet...memories.
Fond, because I remember watching the show every week when I was a kid.
Bittersweet, because the show, as well as SEA HUNT, HIGHWAY PATROL and many others, were produced by Fred Ziv of ZIV Productions. Fred Ziv was a 2nd cousin...who my parents talked about but I'd never met. Yet, the two branches of the family did keep in "distant" contact over the years.
I always thought that, when I came to Hollywood, I would go to him and he might help me get into the film business.
Unfortunately, while I was still in college, cousin Fred Ziv sold the company and moved back to his home town, Cincinnatti.
%$*&%@*@
I did, however, have the opportunity to meet him face-to-face many years later when I visited Cincinnatti for a film promotion. He was very friendly and, as I recall, even apologized for retiring from the business before he had the opportunity to help me.
:)
-
I hurt a lot yesterday, and "Sound of Music," "Calamity Jane," Jeri Soutern singingf" You'd Better go Now," and a lot of prayer (and many Motrin) did not help. We'll see what's in store once i awaken.
-
Good morning!
The newspaper said it got down to 65 last night, but I don't think so. I wasn't particularly cool when I went out to get the newspaper this morning. And now the A/C is back on, and the house feels much more comfortable.

Our local film critic gave MAMMA MIA 3 1/2 stars (out of 4), so some folks are giving it good reviews. (He said none of the leading men can sing, and I rather believe it though I haven't heard the soundtrack CD.)

I hope you put on your Sunday clothes, 'cause I had images of you as a present-day Elmo Levi gathering all the folks up and whisking them off to the railroad station.

Look at that, DR Ron. we posted our last posts at EXACTLY the same time! What are the odds of THAT happening?
-
I saw CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND on Starz! several years ago, and I have almost no recollection of it, even whether I liked it or not. It's far-fetched, I remember, but otherwise, nada.

Tonight on TV:
Season premieres for MONK and PSYCH.
Monk's getting a new analyst (Hector Elizando), so that will be at least something different for the show, and I'll record it.
PSYCH, I'll watch "live."

Our local film critic gave MAMMA MIA 3 1/2 stars (out of 4), so some folks are giving it good reviews. (He said none of the leading men can sing, and I rather believe it though I haven't heard the soundtrack CD.)
The Washington Post praises Meryl Streep but feels it's a bit over the top as a "woman's" film, comparing it to a more "sedate" "Sex in the City". The term Ann Hornaday used was "shriekfest."
Conversely, a male critic at the San Francisco Chronicle gave it a conditional RAVE, praising Streep and the actress who plays her daughter. He said, "Basically, this isn't a movie. It's a vacation!" He loved the music and performances and locations used. His quibbles were with chronological ages of the older actors being a decade or so older than they should have been. He said it didn't bother him, but some lines were a bit jarring when you think about a time they are referencing. He added that Pierce Brosnan cannot sing. He demanded that anyone who goes to see the movie repeat that mantra -- "Pierce Brosnan cannot sing" -- 10 times before seeing it. :D
He also made a cheery note of the fact that "Dancing Queen" makes two rousing appearances in the film.

We will be in New Jersey tomorrow at a Morelli Family Cousins Party. One of the many Morelli cousins bought a new house and we will be heading out for a barbeque. NJTransit here we come. We will watch the Britcoms tonight and have nothing planned for Sunday.

The Oregonian "reviewer" (I use the term loosely) hated Mamma Mia, but most of his complaints stem from the concept, which he seems to think originated with the film version (i.e., dropping in ABBA songs willy-nilly). Oy. Do these people never do any research on what they're writing about?
-
I called it "quits" last night at 9:45 p.m. I couldn't make my eyes stay open, so it was off to dreamland.
I got up at 6 a.m. and was at work at 6:50 a.m.
And here I sit.
I'm practically caught up on the week's activities.
But, since it's Friday, I know someone with a "big problem" will call and will throw a hissy fit while explaining the nature of the problem. I will patiently listen. And, as happens so often on Fridays, I will courteously explain that he, or she, has the "wrong" office and will direct him, or her, to the right office.

No! Never! They live in a vacuum directly proportional to their knowledge of much of which they write.

The sad fact is that there is now in place a generation of reviewers who just don't "get" musicals. They don't understand the genre and do next to nothing to try to understand its traditions and history. There aren't enough of them released for them to get used to the idea of musicals, and so when a piece of fluff like MAMMA MIA arrives, they're really thrown for a loop.
The reviewer for THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER who gave MAMMA MIA a near-rave saw Meryl Streep in HAPPY END off-Broadway in the 1970s and thought then she was going to have a fabulous Broadway career as a musical star! (He mentions this in his review.)
He also for years spent his off hours appearing in the Charlotte Opera chorus, so he knows about musical theater and appreciates it.

I've got to head down now and clean up so I can go do my usual Friday errands.

Friday morning greetings! I'm going to venture out on my own today - drive out to my mom's to meet up with her and my sister to go see Mamma Mia!

Blame TV, too. Yes, tastes change along with generations. But TV used to be the major tool used to expose Americans (at any rate) to cultural events. Some were tuned in by nearly everyone (R&H's "Cinderella" for instance). Look at the great long run of Ed Sullivan on CBS and all the variety he introduced week after week.
TV is, IMO, a cultural wasteland -- musically -- and that judgment accounts for such things as "American Idol." PBS does the occasional wonderful thing, but PBS' audience isn't mainstream America.

The invader robots are interesting looking though.

DVD: BluE-Ray of Vantage Point. Just got to one of the big "twists," which I must say DS Betsy and I were not expecting (no, it wasn't the "obvious" doppelganger--ooh, a sort of Mahler reference--one).
CD: nothing much lately. I am overwhelmed by stacks of unopened CDs.

DS Zach asked what VINTAGE Point was about last night. :) I have decided that would be a great miniseries about winemakers. ;)

So many of us bought Tandy/Radio Shack computers back in the day, I am surprised they didn't become a major player. I guess their lack of IBM compatibility was fatal.

Noooooooo! We never got to interview her about Johnny Mercer. Damn! I had always wanted to meet her (I love her Jonathan and Darlene albums). Her son told us she wasn't up to being interviewed when we were in LA last time, but he would be in touch if she did feel better. Oh, that's sad...

It is not just Jason and Sir Gielgud that are giving me problems. The very dear Mr. Morelli is being very naughty indeed. Nanatte Fabray, Kevin Spirtas, Billy Haines, dear Miss Lillian Gish and Susan Gordon have all decided to act up in my hallway. And even BK himself sometimes.
-
Damn! I hate it when my plans go awry. Yesterday, I made a chart of the musical numbers and the personnel needed for each number in the NYMF show. I can find neither my script nor my chart, so I've just reprinted the libretto, abd I will now redo the chart nstead of going to the NYPL.
It's possible I left it in the office yesterday, but if I run down and it isn't there but lost in the rubble here, I won't be prepared for the meeting.
So . . .
-
DR Edisaurus, we watched the premiere of The Closer last night courtesy the DVR. In your work, do you get the edited final episodes of the show, or does that process happen after you do your work? Or concurrently?
I wonder if the national television ratings account for people that DVR shows and watch them later?
-
Are you saying that BK isn't straight?
-
I hope you feel better today, Kerry.
(((((Kerry)))))
Just remember this: you missed the family reunion.

DR Kerry - just don't add E&T DR Cason to your collection, or you'll have real trouble on your hands!

Acting Up in the Hallway is the name of my new memoir.

The Grapes of Roth?
Did you hear about the big fire at the curtain factory - it destroyed most of the building where the Drapes of Roth are stored.
With acknowledgment to Mr Allan Sherman. ;D

I see DR JMK is intrigued.

Has anyone had problems with Paypal and Kritzerland? I ordered two copies of MURDER AT HOLLYWOOD HIGH, udpated my shopping cart and when it went to Paypal, the damned service charged me for only one copy. I just did it again and the same thing occurred!
Doing something twice when it can done once really pisses me off.
-
Oh, and my DH has worked quite a bit with Dave Brubeck.
Dave is my piano hero; I've loved him since I was a kid. What an amazing family he has. I love them all. Dave is probably one of the sweetest people ever. I got to know then when they visited my college town several times, for a few weeks at a time, and I performed with a small solo group in his massive choral piece GATES OF JUSTICE. (We combined 4 big choral groups and my 16 piece group did he chorale solos) I became friends with his son Darius for a few years. He moved to Africa, so we don't get together much now... :-)

I saw parts of it here and there...it was a little to disjointed for me to make sense of it not seeing it from the beginning. But I thought the editing style and the sound design were very interesting.

I think my favorite thing about The Closer is all the little subtle character things going on in the background that make me laugh and laugh... :)

Such a loss of our dear furry friends so close together. My DH's sister also lost her very old 3 legged kitty this week, so I will certainly be lighting a lot of candles on Monday night.

Very good!

Several years ago I heard that Robert Rodriguez was preparing special editions of all his films, including The Faculty. Dimension/Miramax's disregard of a film that made them money is pretty shocking. It's only been released once on DVD and that was back at the beginning - it's shameful, really - non-anamorphic. Maybe they decided to wait for Blu-Ray but if they'd put the damn thing out already I'd bet it would sell decently and that means moolah for me.

I've sent two Paypal requests for one book each. In "Update" on the Krutzerland site, for the first and second orders, I changed the quantity to two copies. However, when it flipped to Paypal, only one copy was registered. That's why you now have two -Count 'em 2! - Paypal receip[ts from me.

Otherwise, post groanable material at your own peril!

I keep forgetting, though, that you've been "altared"!

Just covered myself for my first night in NY by booking the Hilton Gardens on 28th in Chelsea - the one I usually stay at on Eighth is sold out. It's a lot less than the last time I stayed in NY although not exactly "reasonable". Hopefully, Kevin and Sean won't mind picking up just the one night - it's not that much if they're splitting it. I was a little shocked at the amount of tax - almost 14%! Now, I can still cancel (by Tuesday) so if anyone has any better ideas or cheaper (but nice!) hotels with wireless Internet let me know asap.

And what would be a good night for a get-together? I'll have some time after nine on Thursday, after six on Friday, and I don't know what time their concert is or when I'd be back in the city on Saturday.

When a NYC mini-reunion date and time is set, please let us all know, and I'll try to accommodate. Although after 9:00 PM on a school night [Thursday] is probably not gonna happen for me.

Eggplants and carrots and tomatoes and cream colored ponies and brown paper packages tied up with string. Ooops-- guess I got carried away, but you get the idea.

Wow! I never expected THAT. There's a lot I'm missing and will have to search for. Dingo says Jessie is convinced the nominees are "his" idea, but doesn't tell "whose" idea they really were.

Speaking of Streisand, I played the fancy Jewish retirement home here in Portland last night (there's kind of a down in the dumps, one, too, which I also play--strangely it's right across the street from the nice one), and some nice old lady requested "Evergreen." Hadn't played/sung that in a long time, was fun to revisit it. I had to LOL when I first came in--another nice old lady screamed out, "What did you say your name was?" (I hadn't). I told her, and she said "Hoffman? Hoffman?" I repeated my name a little louder and she announced to the assemblage, "Oh, well that's a nice Jewish name." ;)

Our local film critic gave MAMMA MIA 3 1/2 stars (out of 4), so some folks are giving it good reviews. (He said none of the leading men can sing, and I rather believe it though I haven't heard the soundtrack CD.)
They can't. :-X

WHY do they cast non-singers in musicals? I will never understand that. Nor will I understand why someone who cannot sing will sing in a musical.

Season premieres for MONK and PSYCH.
Monk's getting a new analyst (Hector Elizando), so that will be at least something different for the show, and I'll record it.
PSYCH, I'll watch "live."
I'll be watching PSYCH "live" tonight, also! After that, in my DVD player will be season two of PSYCH, through most kind courtesy of JMK!! :-* :-* :-*
It arrived yesterday...but I forgot to check my mail last night, so I checked it before I came to work this morning. :D

Isn't dubbing people's singing voices in musical films a time-honored tradition?
-
So why don't they?
-
They no longer feel that they should or have to. Everyone can do EVERYthing these days! Didn't you see how brilliantly Richard Gere tapped in "Chicago"?
It's the age of self-indulgence with huge gulps of denial that the talent simply is not there.

Isn't dubbing people's singing voices in musical films a time-honored tradition?
What was the last film, I wonder, in which a singing voice was dubbed?
The last I can recall is "First Wives Club" when it seemed obvious that Goldie Hawn was dubbed. And I have my suspicions about Diane Keaton's voice, as well.

-

U.S. commercial film was what I had in mind. :D
-

Really? I've never heard her sing. I figured the voice was too good to actually be her! But if you say so, I'm gonna have to go with it being her own.
I'm guessing Keaton's was her own, as well. It "sounded" like her voice, only it was projected and on pitch.
Midler's voice seemed to come right out of her mouth, but Hawn's seemed somewhat detached.
-
Isn't Hindi the lady on Trading Spaces?

Noooooooo! We never got to interview her about Johnny Mercer. Damn! I had always wanted to meet her (I love her Jonathan and Darlene albums). Her son told us she wasn't up to being interviewed when we were in LA last time, but he would be in touch if she did feel better. Oh, that's sad...
I very sorry and was looking forward to your interview.
She is one of my all time favorite singers.
-
Diane Keaton is/was a very good singer. She sings in ANNIE HALL and RADIO DAYS, very well in both. Of course, she did stage musicals (HAIR) early in her career, so I know she can sing.
Yes, I think it might have been wise to either rethink the cast of the MAMMA MIA men (none is exactly a box-office draw, so they could have used stage actors who could sing like Tom Wopat, Brent Barrett, Marc Kudisch), or hire dubbers if they were set of three men to be the actors who were cast.
-

I began my afternoon watching last night's MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST. Not one of Kathy's funniest efforts, but it was an interesting show. Seeing the pathetic room that passed for a library was really, really sad. Other countries are SO much less well off than we are.
Next week's show looks really fun.

-
Ta and DA!

I skimmed through last night's SWINGTOWN just to see if there was any male-male action with Grant Show and the bisexual who entered the picture last week. Nada. Maybe I misread the original press report (or CBS got skittish and cut the male-male storyline.)
-
That was very...considerate of him. They so seldom attend to such details post-blow-itis.

I've jogged, I've played, I've had a nice telephonic conversation with someone I haven't spoken to in many years, and like that there.

Holy moley on rye - we iz gettin' close to a might big new achievement. Hopefully, someone will be able to grab a screen shot.

Next, I watched 9 more episodes of TRANSFORMERS. That makes 25 episodes watched. Only 27 more to go!
I have to say in this disc of episodes I watched this afternoon, there was less fighting and more story which I was much more interested in. The constant clash of the titans gets REALLY OLD after a few dozen episodes.
-
I concluded my afternoon with today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Just a little bit with Luke and Noah, but a lot with Luke and his parents. I can understand his anger and sense of hurt, but didn't his mother do exactly the same thing with Dusty a few months ago?
(I'm only asking; I fast forward through all that stuff.) Previews for next week directly address the question of the guys finally talking about consummating their relationship.
-
I like the NYMF folk, and the show is in dire need of an MD ASAP. I had recommended our DR JoseS, but I don't think he's interested. The meeting went well, I think. I forgot, however, the package I had meant to post so I have a trip to the local post office in the next 30 minutes.
That means I can stop at the market along the way and buy something for din.

I just weighed myself for the first time in two weeks and I am NOT happy. I've lost exactly one and a half pounds in two weeks and that is OUTRAGEOUS. I am eating under 1500 calories a day, sometimes considerably so. I am running every single day and I am also walking a mile in the evenings. Two years ago I did this exact same thing and I lost about seven or eight pounds in two weeks, which is how I lost twenty-seven pounds in three months. The only change I have made to my dieting this time around is drinking two bottles of water a day - if that's what's causing this to be this slow, then I am done with the water, which I hate anyway. I really thought I'd lost five or six pounds but clearly I am living in a fool's paradise and I am seething right now.

From being a full-figured gal, I understand this. Even though your body may look the same to you, your metabolism could be different now than it was 2 years ago. Don't give up though. Do you eat every 2 to 3 hours? Even if it's something healthy, the more often you eat your metabolism will speed up. Maybe you already knew this, if so, never mind! :)

It's quite warm today, around 94 degrees F. On my walk to the Post office, I had a major nostalgia blast, prompted much like Proust's madeleine. First I was walking home from school, probaby around 1960, through wildflowers, queen anne's lace, sunflowers and weeds all about my height or a little shorter, with butterflies frolicking, bees and yellow jackets buzzing around lazily, lots of grasshoppers leaping about and praying mantises hanging off stalks to grab some food passing by. The sound of insects was quite noisy and a desire to lie down and watch the clouds float by very intense.
Then I was 5, around 1951, sitting on the lawn in the shade of my grandmother's back porch, with the odor of dried wood drifting from the garage, the sunlight glaring from the hood of the old truck parked next to the barn, and watching my mother fill the wading pool. I can hear the squeak of the screendoor and sounds of the family in the kitchen, the scrape of gravel in the alley behind the barn, and a desire for ice cream or a cold root beer.
And then I arrived at the post office.
I'm getting sentimental in my old age.
-
DR elmore- :D

Dear Bruce, when you eat only one meal a day your body thinks it needs to protect you from starving & your metabolism slows down. I assure you the water is not causing this. We could get away with this when we were young, it doesn't work as well anymore.
-
DR Matt, I could just KISS you! MMMMuuuuwwwaaahhh! I love these two shows and did not know they were going to have new ones yet until I read your post and I've already set them up to record! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ;D
I'm happy if I was of some help.
Many folks around here adore PSYCH, so mentioning it was a no-brainer.
MONK ardor has cooled for many here including me. I still watch it hoping they'll fashion a good mystery story every once in awhile. I admire Tony Shalhoub as an actor a lot, but he's taken Monk to such a surreal place now that it's sometimes more irritating than enjoyable to watch him.
-
Off now to continue with TRANSFORMERS.
If I get a free 40 minutes, I'd like to rewatch this week's season premiere of THE CLOSER just to see my Jason O'Mara again. I'be kept it on the DVR just for that reason.

I have never bought this one meal a day and your metabolism slows down because it things you're starving business. I may eat one nice-sized meal a day, but I'm not starving, and I do have things like no-fat low-cal fruit popsicles later in the evening. And it's not like I didn't do this exact same regimen two years ago and I know exactly what I lost per week during that diet period. This is extremely frustrating. I'm going to keep running because I feel better for having jogged, but I'm not sure I can keep up this staying away from certain foods that I like if I'm not going to see results - that's just too annoying. This last two weeks has been a total waste for me, diet-wise. No, I didn't gain, but losing at the rate of a pound and a half every two weeks means I'll be on this diet for over a year before I'm where I want to be - it's never ever taken me more than three to four months to lose exactly what I wanted to lose and that includes two years ago.

I took in the 9:20 am screening of THE DARK KNIGHT today.
I'm not really a fan of superhero movies, but I'd heard/read so much positive feedback on this one that I thought I'd take a chance.
It's definitely the best (and darkest) BATMAN movie thus far, and probably the best (and darkest) superhero movie ever made.
Heath Ledger is terrific as The Joker and definitely deserves Oscar consideration. In fact, all of the movie's characters are multi-dimensional, and the plot was pretty involving with some real surprises.
On the whole, I enjoyed the picture, though I do think it could have lost 15+ minutes. Perhaps The Joker had one too many tricks up his sleeve.
Although the action sequences with Batman were spectacular, I found myself becoming a bit bored with them from time-to-time, particularly when the film's choppy editing made it a bit difficult to figure out who was who and what was what.
Additionally, the ending, I felt, was a bit anti-climatic.
On a scale from 1-10, I'd give THE DARK KNIGHT a 7.
But, that's just my opinion.

My drive out to my mom's, going to the movies with Mom and my sister, and my drive home wore me out. It's clear that I have a lot more strength to regain.
We had a great time seeing Mamma Mia! I'd seen it twice on stage, my mom once, and my sister never.
Meryl Streep does a fantastic job; in fact, all the women are well-cast. Pierce Brosnan canNOT sing - couldn't they have found a middle-aged hunk who can? I loved the "opening up" of the action.
The songs are somewhat reordered and I only have one quibble. My favorite sequence from the stage version is "Take a Chance on Me" to the wedding bridge to "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do." Those elements are still there, but the ordering falls flat, IMHO. And in the end credits, which I think are supposed to be kind of a curtain call, the pictures don't match the names as they're being shown. That's a little sloppy, I think.
-
Cilla, I believe I did. I think I even posted about it yesterday - but I'll check to make sure.

Nothing, so far, in the news regarding Jo Stafford, yet I keep reading “Barenaked Ladies cancel Disney show after drug rap” Before today I had never heard of Barenaked Ladies & I find it difficult to imagine Disney hired a group with such a scandalous name. :o ;D
I love the Barenaked Ladies. I knew "If I Had A Million Dollars" and a few other songs before I bought a ticket to their concert here on a whim. I adored them. They are fun, silly and I was addicted to their music for a long time. They use a lot of satire and are really great.

lovely idea Dear Reader Laura

Thanks Vixmom, Singdaw, Ginny and anyone I may have forgotten for the compliments on my house. I got a great compliment today from a neighbor. He is a historic preservationist and works on restoring buildings etc. He and his wife were walking their corgi and stopped to tell me that they love watching all the changes I've been making to my house and that they are so glad I'm in the neighborhood.
Coming from someone who is in the business and who went through my house when it was on the market and therefore knows how much work it needed - and still needs, it's a real compliment. When I get done with everything I'll have to invite them over to see it

Pierce Brosnan canNOT sing - couldn't they have found a middle-aged hunk who can?
Scott Bakula is a year younger and Antonio Banderes 7 - both can sing.

I went to Mama Mia today and was really disappointed. I loved the stage show. I don't really agree that it was cast so well, I think they all needed to be a bit younger. If the daughter is 20 and the mother is closing in on 60 that means the mother was in a girl band and sleeping around when she was closing in on 40. Now, I'm sure that happens, but it just didn't seem believable to me.
Pierce Brosnan's singing didn't bother me as much as the age problem.
-
They also changed the order of the songs, as Ginny mentioned, I didn't think that worked as well. And it seemed to drag in the middle. I found myself thinking. "this is really stupid, what am I doing here"
-
But all that being said, I did laugh a lot and it was a nice break
-
I just checked. Carolee Carmello is 13 years younger than Meryl Streep. It makes more sense that Carolee would be Donna than Meryl.
Just my 2 cents

Wow! I never expected THAT. There's a lot I'm missing and will have to search for. Dingo says Jessie is convinced the nominees are "his" idea, but doesn't tell "whose" idea they really were.

I believe that jessie wanted to nominate renny. There are a few groups. One is angie/dan/steven, and sometimes keesha/renny. The other group is libra/april/ollie/michelle and a couple more maybe. It is them who want steven out. They were thinking about nominating angie/dan and backdooring steven. But somehow they convinced jessie. I find i get very accurate updates that are not long to read in the televisionwithoutpity live feed discussion thread. Dingo doesn't always post that much.

I have never bought this one meal a day and your metabolism slows down because it things you're starving business. I may eat one nice-sized meal a day, but I'm not starving, and I do have things like no-fat low-cal fruit popsicles later in the evening. And it's not like I didn't do this exact same regimen two years ago and I know exactly what I lost per week during that diet period. This is extremely frustrating. I'm going to keep running because I feel better for having jogged, but I'm not sure I can keep up this staying away from certain foods that I like if I'm not going to see results - that's just too annoying. This last two weeks has been a total waste for me, diet-wise. No, I didn't gain, but losing at the rate of a pound and a half every two weeks means I'll be on this diet for over a year before I'm where I want to be - it's never ever taken me more than three to four months to lose exactly what I wanted to lose and that includes two years ago.
Even if you haven' t lost actual pounds, do you at least feel better. And do your clothes feel better on you? It's not all about the actual weight.
And i totally agree with those who say i think eating a few small meals a day would help. I"m not the best at this (because i don't eat breakfast). But i try to eat fruit every morning. And then a small lunch. a snack. And then a small dinner.
The water can't be hurting you. And i'm sure the exercise is totally helping.

DR Jane, the Barenaked Ladies are a very popular canadian male band. i'm surprised that you have not heard of them.

my niece does not want to go to bed. At least she is quietly playing in her bed. But it doesn't help when after 45 minutes she comes out and declares she needs to pee!
I decided not to put her to sleep by sleeping beside her (although i did for a few minutes). But she would not let me rub her hair (which puts her to sleep). so i left. She knows my tricks!
She was so funny tonight. She took out the valentine's card i gave her in feb and said "auntie you gave this to me". And she wanted to know when valentine's day was. i told her feb and now it's july. So she said in july is valentooms day! So we wished each other a happy day! :)

I guess I'll be on my way to La La's to sup with cousins Alan and Dee Dee. The first time I ate there a couple of years ago the 1/2 roast chicken was terrific. Last week, much less so. So, tonight I may try the double chicken breast with garlic. Still fairly non-caloric and hopefully better-tasting.
May I ask when the brainiacs of the current generation figured out that no one is now, according to them, spelled noone? And this new way of saying "based off a movie" or based off a comic book" - honestly!

Why is candy so insidious? It is EVERYWHERE in my workplace. I think I want it, and I eat it, and then I feel terrible.
I've got to buckle down, Winsocki, and fortify my willpower!
We have huge candy jars in my editing room as well as a basket of snacks. I used to forage in them when I had to work late, but no more. We keep the jars in the corner on the floor out of sight. Thankfully, there's no dark chocolate, which is my weakness.

I'm going to the mountains tomorrow to celebrate my Dad's birthday (11 days early but when everyone could get together.) So I'm going to make one of my favorite bring-along dishes. It's VERY easy! People never expect me to bring anything I've cooked, so it's been fun to cook up something for the last 3 weekends. Here's the recipe:
Sesame Noodles with Asparagus Tips
From the book Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison
Serves 6 to 8
Introduction
Whenever people ask what they can make a lot of easily and ahead of time for a party, this is what I suggest. It’s endlessly versatile; you can vary the vegetable to go with the season, using, for example, snow peas, roasted peppers, grilled eggplant, julienned carrots, mung bean sprouts, and fresh or dried shiitake mushrooms.
Ingredients
Marinade
¼ cup sesame oil
3 Tbsp. dark sesame oil
7 Tbsp. soy sauce
3 Tbsp. Chinese black or balsamic vinegar
3½ Tbsp. dark brown sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. chili oil
1 Tbsp. minced ginger
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
¼ cup chopped cilantro
Noodles and asparagus
~ Salt
2 lb. asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced on a diagonal
1 (14 oz.) package thin Chinese egg noodles
10 scallions, including the firm greens, thinly sliced
¼ cup sesame seeds, toasted until lightly browned
Steps
Mix the marinade ingredients together, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and the asparagus. Cook until bright green and tender but still firm, just a few minutes. Scoop the asparagus out, rinse it under cold water, and set on a towel to dry.
Pull the noodles apart with your fingers, add them to the boiling water, and give them a quick stir. Boil until tender but not overly soft, tasting them often as they cook. It should take only a few minutes. Pour the noodles into a colander and immediately rinse under cold water. Shake off the excess water.
Toss the noodles with all the marinade and most of the scallions, sesame seeds, and asparagus. Mound them in a bowl or on a platter, then garnish with the remaining asparagus, scallions, and sesame seeds.

One of my favorite Barenaked Ladies songs is "One Week" and probably my favorite version is THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69cR9J-V-Qg) version. It's one of their "Bathroom Sessions" songs. ;D
-
This week has been so stressful at work that I have gotten NO exercise, yet I will be hopping on the scale tomorrow for the moment of truth. Last week when I weighed in, after 2 weeks, I'd lost 6 pounds (sorry bk) but this week I would be surprised if I hadn't gained! Of course, 6 pounds doesn't even make a dent in what I need to lose, but it's a start...
-
OK, off to cook before it gets too late!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCImrmR63JE&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCImrmR63JE&feature=related) this was the first song most people knew them for
If I had a million dollars
And THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5rFtKKijg8) is the "Bathroom Sessions" version of "If I Had a Million Dollars."
;)
-
I'm tired today. I was up until 2:30 AM transcribing an interview that 2 court reporters and my assistant can't seem to be able to understand well enough to transcribe. It's street talk and he talks softly so you have to go over it and over it, but it isn't THAT bad. I did 24 pages last night and will finish the rest this weekend. He's a key witness so I don't have a choice, I just can't believe everyone else gave up so quickly
-
And here's "If I Had a Million Dollars," circa 1990 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvQwIgmDRqI&NR=1).
:)
-
And of course there is their song "Pinch me" which DR Sandra would appreciate since it has the lyrics
"I could hide out under there....I just made you say underwear"

She was just ranting not an hour ago about modern song lyrics.

Pretty funny, George.
Seriously, Steven Page can really sing. He broke from one of their songs while he was here and did something traditional, it wasn't Somewhere Over the Rainbow, well maybe it was, anyway his voice was fabulous. And I can say as performers, I haven't been to a concert that was so much fun and so entertaining. They really do know how to put on a show. It was the first "rock" type concert I ever went to by myself and I had a BLAST. I'll have to look for my CDs of the show. On that tour you could go online and download the concert you went to. You paid for it, of course, but you got your actual concert. They always do a riff about the town they are in, so there is no question you are listening to your concert.

That's a GREAT idea! I always thought that performers (or even shows!) should do something like that. There is so much bootlegging going on ( ;)) and this could be a great money-maker for the band. I would think that in general, people want recordings of the shows that they went to and would be willing to pay for a legitimate copy. They wouldn't have to worry about being caught or making sure they got a good "bootleg." They could just enjoy the show. :)
I wonder how Equity would deal with this, if the idea was ever presented to theatrical producers. :D

Well, it's time for me to leave work and go home. Have a good rest of the evening, all.

I got 10 more episodes of TRANSFORMERS watched tonight. That leaves 17 more. They introduced a couple of new characters in some of these episodes including a really annoying Valley girl-type transformer in league with the bad guys. She's REALLY irritating.

I had a headache and a sore back most of the day. I wanted to see the new location of my favorite furniture store, so I went there about 4:30 PM or so and was immediately greeted by my favorite salesman (who likes me because I buy things sometimes) I saw the massaging chairs and said I wanted to try one. He sat in the one next to me and after about 15-20 minutes we traded chairs and sat there another 15-20 minutes. It was hilarious. It also really gave my back a massage and took away my headache. He said I should buy one. I said why when I could just use theirs!

Yes, I, too, miss the gracious presence of OzDerek around here. A sweet, lovely person. I wish I could have gotten to know him better.

I did take the time to rewatch the season premiere of THE CLOSER again tonight. The performances were wonderful.

While I was waiting for PSYCH to come on, I watched FIRST LOOK: THE DARK KNIGHT on HBO-HD. Looks really intriguing, but I know I won't be seeing the movie for weeks; it won't come to my local theater a few blocks away until the middle of August I'm guessing. The theater will get it once the other theaters in the chain need space for new movies so they'll move it over to my side of the world.
INDIANA JONES just opened there today.
-
I enjoyed PSYCH though the case was less interesting this time with fewer uses of Shawn's observations than I like in an episode. Next week's episode looks better.

I'm going to write for a bit and then head downstairs to bed.

Back from dinner with my mom at IHOPs and then shopping at Target...now time for a Bollywood movie...
KHOONKHAR DARINDE (1999) which is a very, very low budget horror film...very low budget. It stars someone named Sapne.

Cool! The sneak peak of the next episode of Design Star has Bill, the guy I met at Panera on it. He is working with Jenn, just as he said he did. I wonder if that was here in town
-

I presume to local's prices are half the main theatre's. Our "local" sells matinee's for $3/night for $4 - and the concessions are less expensive.
Actually there are only two theatre complexes for miles - the big 12-plex (about 2 miles away) and the smaller "bargain" 6-plex (about 1.5 mile away).

Well, Sunday night is Ringo Starr's concert and then we head to New York the next night, Monday, at 11:59 p.m., yes, 1 minute before midnight! The Concert should be fun. It is kind of at a amphitheater of sorts so will have grass seating but did find a couple of beach chairs that have back support. Never have been to a concert with grass seating before. I know, I guess I'm too much of a city girl, huh?

You'll be seeing more of the hunky reporter, at least thru the first 3 episodes.
And Sanchez has an episode built around him later in the season.

TOD: 2 Piano version of Milhaud's "Le Boef Sur la Toit". I love it!
ipod in the kitchen--everything, but it reminds me that I'd like to do a mix CD for the next time my DH takes a trip. There's a lot of good music I've gotten recently that he hasn't heard.
-
I went to see a terrific local production of URINETOWN last weekend. I was really surprised at how good it was, especially since the theatre was underneath a tacky old strip mall. The choreography was great; the guy who did it was in his mid-20's but I liked it better than the Broadway production (I saw the B'way version 3 times, going with different people).
-
On the way home I took a wrong turn and ended up in downtown Decatur. I passed Decatur CD, a record store that a friend has been telling me about for years. (We have similar tastes in music,)
I was thrilled that they were open on a Sunday night, since they were just about the only business that was.
Wow!!! I felt like an alcoholic in a liquor store. It was very small but the music selection was so good that my heart started beating fast (about a dozen different Os Mutates CD's for example.) Stuff by some of my favorite artists that I'd never seen before. I immediately picked up over a dozen CD's, then put a few back, and got out of there before blowing my whole paycheck. Needless to say, I was thrilled!
