And the word of the day is: BEDSWERVER!
DR MATTH - in BELLS OF ST MARY'S - the young boy who boxed with Ingrid Bergman is Richard Tyler.
He played the title role in Moss Hart's CHRISTOPHER BLAKE on Broadway. He also appeared in a few episodes of MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY as Gina's boyfriend when Annette was making her appearances on the show in 1959.
Richard was also in ATOMIC SUBMARINE. He was a bodybuilder and wrote a book about bodybuilding during the 1960's. He is now a chiropractor and was the head of Gov. Arnold S.'s commission on the practice when AS first became governor of California.
Never mind, DR ELmo disappeared ... *poof*
Miss Karen - The chocolate I buy is too classy to have wrappers. So it would just have been an empty box by the time it got to you.
Yes, Ronnie, there is a Santa ...
....and his gift to you is my gratuitous posting ... it is, indeed, the Season of Miracles ....

The read-through yesterday afternoon of Act I of TANGLED WEBS went nicely.In a very nice coincidence, I was playing the Luker/Kimmel/Moore collaboration, the CD Anything Goes in the office on Thursday. Gina, our florist, really liked what she was hearing.
Here's what we sent out to a few places as a sort-of limited-release press release.
An informal read-through of the first act of a new musical, Tangled Webs, took place on Friday December 12, in Manhattan.
The musical is about an elegant Park Avenue woman (played in the read-through by Rebecca Luker)...
BK Trivia Question! (That maybe not even BK will know the answer to). I'm reviewing a new 2 DVD set of Mythbusters episodes, and one contained a very interesting little tidbit of information. Does anyone know the connection between Mythbusters and our very own BK?

Is this the "Big Blasts Collection" of Mythbusters?
I have that one, but haven't looked at it yet.
If so, which episode should I check out?
Thanks.

So what is the connection between Mythbusters and BK? Whatever it is, I'll debunk it.
Good morning!
DH Jed and I are both huge fans of Mythbusters. So entertaining and informative. I actually mentioned it to my mother the other day when she started in on the danger of Christmas lights catching fire on a tree. They did an episode once where they thoroughly debunked that myth. They tried everything to get that tree to light on fire, with no luck at all. They also did an episode testing the various methods of keeping a live Christmas tree alive, but I don't remember the results of it.
How nice for Ginny to be asked what she likes for her party!
I think my first foreign film would most likely have been The Red Balloon, which I saw at the Lido Theater the year it came out - it was on a double bill with Diabolique and we kids were allowed to stay for The Red Balloon but NOT for Diablolique - which means we paid to see a thirty-five minute short. However, I have a dim memory of sneaking in to watch a little of Diabolique, but I wasn't that adept at reading the subtitles and I left.

THE RED BALLOON is a great film, but it's difficult for me to watch...for the same reason that I can't watch THE YEARLING or OLD YELLER.
I know it's silly and old garbage, but those kinds of films elict an emotional response from me that I prefer to avoid.

... hmmmm, I could really mess with her .... hide all of her gingerbread costume stuff, and she won't get to do the gingerbread dance ... it would teach her not to mess with the costumer ..... hmmmmmm, it wouldn't mess up the show, cause we were missing a gingerbread dancer for a school show the other day -- 7 or 8 gingerbread -men - give or take a few, the audience doesn't know the difference, and they have no lines, so it doesn't mess up the story or the show .... hmmmmmm ... or just lock her in the costume room so she misses her gingerbread cue .... it's not nice to mess with the crew .... hmmmmmmmm ....

Here's what we sent out to a few places as a sort-of limited-release press release.
An informal read-through of the first act of a new musical, Tangled Webs, took place on Friday December 12, in Manhattan.
The musical is about an elegant Park Avenue woman (played in the read-through by Rebecca Luker) who's lost her husband and starts her life over by going to work at a producer's office. She discovers a young writer's work that she feels passionate about, and she will stop at nothing to get the show to the Broadway stage.
The music is by Skip Kennon (who first worked with Rebecca Luker when she played the female lead in Kennon’s musical Time and Again at the Old Globe in San Diego). The lyricist is Ellen Schwartz (The Trapped Family Singers, the Mae West musical Come Up and See Me). The bookwriter is Bill Connington, who just won awards for his show ZOMBIE at the N.Y. Fringe Festival this past summer. The musical is being adapted from a story called “WebCast” by Fred Landau (who was the bookwriter on Kennon’s musical version of The Last Starfighter).
In addition to Rebecca Luker, the characters at the read-through were read by Steve Berger (Broadway’s Pajama Game and Into the Woods), Jan Leigh Herndon (Broadway’s La Cage Aux Folles and A Chorus Line), Jesse JP Johnson (Altar Boyz at New World Stages, Broadway's Glory Days), Neal Mayer (Forbidden Broadway, Broadway's Les Miserables), Sean Montgomery (The Last Starfighter at NYMF), Catherine Remmert (also in Kennon’s musical of The Last Starfighter), Leenya Rideout (Broadway’s Company, Cyrano de Bergerac and Cabaret), and Ric Ryder (Broadway’s Blood Brothers, Grease and the Luker-Bierko Music Man revival).
Songs in the read-through included "Not Young" (sung by Rebecca Luker), "You Never Know" (Steve Berger, Jesse JP Johnson and company), "My Song" (Jesse JP Johnson), "My World Began This Morning" (Ric Ryder), "Not Young - Reprise" (Rebecca Luker), "I Heard His Music" (Rebecca Luker), "No Time for Love" (Leenya Rideout with Ric Ryder and company), "What Else Did You Expect?" (Neal Mayer, Jesse JP Johnson, Ric Ryder, Rebecca Luker, Leenya Rideout). Rebecca Luker also performed two of her character's solo numbers from Act II, "Flying" and "I'll Seal it with a Kiss."

Ditto. I also don't think I will ever be able to watch Sophie's Choice again. I watched it once and it haunted me for months. Now having a child, I don't think I could stand it.
Did some more polishing of the liner notes and resent them. It's still pretty gray out, but the sun is attempting to shine through, so I'll probably wait to do the long jog - perhaps till noon.
Congratulations on the Reading DR FJL (& Skip).
Thank you for sharing the information.

DR Cilla, I expect you know this already....I don't remember who suggested a shag carpet but I highly suggest you don't get one with cats. They are a complete pain to clean up fur balls & everything else a pet might accidentally leave in the carpet. :P

Another one that I can't watch...and this is really silly...is ONCE UPON A TIME.
That's the one with Cary Grant and the dancing caterpillar. At the end, the thing turns into a butterfly and everybody is so happy, waving "goodbye" to it.
I'm sitting there, tears in my eyes, thinking that the butterfly is going to be dead in 24 hours or so.

Looked up Mythbusters on the imdb and can't find anyone on the show who has anything to do with me.

The Morgan was quite wonderful and we will be making return trips, especially on free Fridays!
The Babar exhibit was everything I wanted. I love the books and to see the early pencil drawings next to the finished pages was great. I bought a Hannukah present for a friend who is also a big Babar fan.
We also looked at Mr. Morgan's personal library and study. No, Ginny, I haven't yet read the book you mentioned last night. There is a picture of the librarian in what was her office. It's all very beautiful.
There have been major changes in the facility since I was last there. The entrance is in a new place (on Madison Avenue) and the old facade is not as visible but it's still an amazing place and I'm very glad we went (in spite of the cold).
How nice for Ginny to be asked what she likes for her party!
Yes, and yellow cake with caramel icing sounds good. I don't believe I have ever had it.
DR Jane - was Sanders still in business when you lived in Michigan? They were Detroit confectionary that had a bakery outlet in our neighborhood supermarket. They made the best yellow cake with caramel icing!

They had one close to us. I foolishly didn't try the caramel icing. :o I remember sending the fudge topping to friends who requested it.
DR Cillaliz - Glad to hear that everything worked out at Home Depot.
Oh I love me my animal movies, even if I know they are going to be sad.
Having finished the box set of BONES the other day and not having any TV episodes on the DVR that I haven't gotten to yet, I searched through my unopened TV box sets and settled on HONEY WEST.
I watched two episodes, but not from disc one. I didn't see disc one hidden behind all those inserts in the box, so I put in disc two thinking it was the first disc. Thus, my first episodes were #9 and #10. Both were entertaining little P.I. dramas. Not great, but great to see the handsome and hunky John Ericson, and Anne Francis never looked so glorious than in this series.
The DVD company who produced this hasn't done a great job on mastering these episodes for disc. Compared to the B&W Tv shows I review from the Paramount library, these discs crawl with mosquito noise, aliasing, and other digital artifacts. Still, better these than nothing at all.
I am home from work, having worked my last Saturday as reference librarian in Dayton ;D
DS Zach just got the coolest late birthday gift--a poster for Coraline (not due for several more months) signed personally to him by director Henry Selick! Isn't that neat?
DR MBarnum - Has "Slumdog Millionaire" opened in your area yet? It was supposed to have gone "wide release" this weekend. It's definitely a movie to see in a theatre, as a "communal experience".
Of course, there's no mention of Claudine Longet by name throughout this show, though she is shown occasionally. Sort of sad.

I watched "Horton Hears a Who" last night. I thought it was quite delightful
But then I love Seussical!
Then, since I was only a few blocks from the Lincoln Plaza Cinemas, I went ahead and caught the 1:05 showing of "Un Conte de Noël" ("A Christmas Tale"), the newest film by Arnaud Desplechin, which is headed by the still-stunning Catherine Deneuve.
It's a very hard to film to describe, and if any DR wants to know a bit more about the "plot", I'd say it's best to Google for some of the reviews. It's one of those "slice of life" movies where everything and nothing happens. It's a great mash-up of styles, both cinematically and musically (everything from Scarlatti to Cecil Taylor to Euro-Pop). But...
It follows the lives of the various members of the Vuillard family over a period of a couple of days, the days preceding Christmas. Each member of the family/cast is given their moment in the spotlight, with most of the action set in motion by the mother of the family, Junon (Mme. Deneuve) and her true black-sheep of the family, Henri (Mathieu Almaric - who is also the villain in the latest Bond flick).
It's not a film for everyone, and its running time of two and a half hours may be a little too long for it's own good, but I had a good time. And even though the film does deal with some weighty matters - even a good dose of philosophy - it manages to bounce and veer from tangent to tangent with ease. After seeing some more "heavier" material over the past 48 hours, it was nice just to sit back and enjoy the ride. A very crazy ride.

What? No DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL? That is the only holiday film that I am really eager to see.
Please remember, this is restaurant food, and a restaurant recipe. It is billed as being luxurious. That being said, while the grits were indeed creamy, they lacked punch. Der B added more than a couple of grindings of pepper to his serving.
Happy Birthday to DR tomovoz.
Hope you've had a great day so far!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMOVOZ!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMOVOZ!!!!
Thank you. I'm floored. OK bad joke.
