Time for me to get some sleep. I need to be in Orange City by 9:00 AM so I need to get up early and hit the road.  I'm going for court, but they are getting ready for their Tulip festival at the end of the week (it's a Dutch town) so I think I'll take my camera.

I finished the bonus features for THE INSECT WOMAN. They didn't take very long to get through.

So, since I had the time, I went ahead and watched the last film in that box: INTENTIONS OF MURDER.

It was VERY long, but I did end up enjoying it. Kind of fell apart just a bit at the end, but otherwise, it was my favorite of the three films in this box.

OK, since neither Cillaliz nor MattH posed a TOD I will:

Which actors or singers do you consistently regard as a joy to watch/listen to?  Those who never let you down?

For me, Michael Gambon always come to mind first.

Also, I know others do not share my opinion, but I love Patti LuPone, Bernadette Peters and Betty Buckley...although they are very different kinds of singers, I love them. :)

Actually Michael, Jeanne posted a topic at about 12:30 (see above) but we've had two topic days before.

Barbara Cook (I love you Guy but Barbara comes first)

Even though he's gone, Sir Noel Coward

Meryl Streep

I can't think of a male counterpart right now but I'll ponder and perhaps later.

The talk of a revival of BBB is a reality. The cast and theatre and production company have been announced. Roundabout has taken a lease on the "new" Henry Miller's Theatre. It was torn down a couple of years ago, except for the landmarked facade and completely rebuilt as part of a new office building spanning half of 42nd and 43rd Streets. The facade has been re-installed and the theatre is completely "green" (whatever that means).

That's what this means. Henry Miller Goes Green (http://www.roundabouttheatre.org/hmt/green.htm)

The first production in the theatre will be the aforementioned BBB starring John Stamos as Albert Peterson (Dick Van Dyke), Gina Gershon as Rose Alvarez (Chita Rivera), Bill Irwin as Mr. Harry MacAfee (Paul Lynde) and Jayne Houdyshell as Mrs. Mae Peterson (Kaye Medford). The rest of the cast has not been announced. The show begins previews on September 10th and opens in early October. It's still set in the 60s which is a good sign. We shall see.

Robert Longbottom will direct and choreograph.

The daughter of one of my Mom's sisters hosted a lunch for us at Legends Villas (http://www.legendvillas.com.ph/). She's the Food & Beverage Manager there. Needless to say, it was another "feast", however, this one was quite delicious. I had to make sure to pace myself - I had to save room for dessert! ;)

*And for dessert, in addition to the traditional Halo-Halo (shaved ice with various sweet toppings), they brought out an old Filipino favorite of mine, pawlitow.  It's basically small "cakes" that are made from sweet rice flour.  After being poached in hot water, they are they covered in coconut, sesame seeds and sugar. I haven't had it in years. Well, this pawlitow was pretty amazing, and instead of being "plain", it was served along with mango puree and chunks of fresh mango. Ma sarap!

After lunch, we drove around town for a bit to do some sight-seeing.  We stopped by a few of my Mom's old haunts: her original house, her elementary school, her high school.  We also paid short visits to some family friends and school mates.  -Tomorrow, my mom's sister, Evelyn, is hosting a reunion of my Mom's high school graduating class - a 52 Year Reunion! Evelyn owns an "event space" - complete with a pool! - and they will be having the reunion there.

We eventually made our way back to the condominium where we are staying.  It was quite amazing to see it during the daytime.  It turns out that it's in a very upscale district of Manila, Bonifacio High Street at Fort Bonifacio Global City (http://bonifaciohighstreet.com/).  The complex, The Serendra, has a a nice gym, spa and pool, as well as some of the friendliest staff I've ever had the pleasure to come across.  It also sits right between two major shopping "centers" - Bonifacio High Street and Market! Market!

*I could go into great detail about both places, but I think the fact that I took almost 200 pictures of various storefronts and other sights may say enough for now.

I can tell you why *I* didn't start a topic last night. I didn't read the notes until this morning. BK changed the topic so early (understandable considering his bedtime and wake-up call), that we were on a new day before I went to bed. My routine is to read the notes after logging on in the morning no matter when they're posted.

I sort of agree with everything you wrote. Yes all the teams did great in the last
episode. And the best team did win. However, I really feel like Luke and Margie
 should have won (even though they are my least favorite of the teams). They had
 this one in the bag. AT first i wondered why they would let luke do the final
challenge since he does not have a lot of patience and gives up easily. But when
 the mom said she had no memory and luke had been studying. Well i could not
believe how great he did. He got the first 11 before anyone else even started.
But watching that i knew if he made a mistake then he would falter. What i don't
get is how he could get the first 11 and not remember the 2 most recent. I felt sad.
 They should have won this. I also liked Jamie apologizing. And then watching
how wonderful it was for her to help luke. It was so sweet. I guess i never
really got the jamie-hating. To me it was like they wanted to show something
mean. So  the editors showed every single time she got upset. I'm sure all the
other teams did similar things.  She seemed sweet in many other aspects especially
 re: her relationship with luke and margie. That's what made me wonder if it was
the editing. And how lovely for luke to say how great margie is. I mean my god
did you see her carry that pig. She never put it down! She basically did everything
the entire race. Which is why it would have been interesting if luke had been able
to win it for them. That said i really wanted jamie and cara to win. And i think if
their cabbie hadn't gotten them lost they would have had a chance.  I do think
 tammy and victor were the strongest team over the entire race. But i didn't feel
that great about them winning last night when they were so far behind. It just didn't feel right to me. But they were a strong team! n1 2 2 3j one e to oiw ieiou iu iu  one oiuoiuiou

Only problem is she invited one of her friends who is always late. So we have to wait for her arrive to order. Hopefully she will decide to be on time tonight. IT's hard when it's not a buffet (for my sis who is pregnant and my 3 yr old niece who is impatient).

annie would win. BUt once joan won the 3/5 criteria for the final challenge. And
once piers and the other contestants said she should win i had hope! I especially

Busy morning, including an interest in a pre-publication performance of the new Babes In Toyland edition. We'll see what happens.

Also, calls concerning Jerome Moross and his Golden Apple and the Library of Congress' Life Begins at 8:40 project.

Now to Mr Frank Loesser!

The very cool temperatures have continued, and it's been a nice change. Of course, some people are still roaming around in tee shirts and shorts like it was still 90 outside. I would have been so uncomfortable dressed like that today. Jeans and a sweater felt very good indeed.

Best Laid Plans Department - Volume 2.

I had planned on beginning work on the GUNSMOKE DVD set today, but when I got in from lunch, there was the Blu-ray of NEW IN TOWN (renee Zellweger/Harry Connick Jr.) waiting for me, so it got priority treatment.
Title: Re: HEY, LA, I'M COMIN' YOUR WAY
Post by: Matt H. on May 11, 2009, 01:21:32 PM
I did spend most of the afternoon with this romantic comedy. It died at the box-office, and it's easy to see why. There's not really an original moment in the film. Very by-the-numbers romantic comedy, and sadly, Renee and Harry don't have much romantic chemistry to warm up the movie (set in Minnesota, filmed in Winnipeg). Everyone does his best, but the expected comedy pratfalls in the snow, food fights with tapioca, etc. Just not very funny.
Title: Re: HEY, LA, I'M COMIN' YOUR WAY
Post by: Matt H. on May 11, 2009, 01:25:14 PM
I got through three of the bonus features. There's a picture-in-picture audio/video commentary with J.K. Simmons and a couple of the writers and the actress who plays Marge (I'll have to look up her name once I start writing the review).

The "making of" documentary is mainly about how cold it was in Winnipeg during the shoot (57 below zero) and what troupers everyone was (especially Renee who had to wear designer clothes through some of the coldest scenes).

And, of course, since it plays such an important role in the movie, there is a featurette on tapioca.
Title: Re: HEY, LA, I'M COMIN' YOUR WAY
Post by: Matt H. on May 11, 2009, 01:26:36 PM
Looks like I still have a couple of other featurettes and some deleted scenes, and then I'll be finished with it.

Didn't have a chance to catch up with any of the TV I recorded last night (TUDORS, LAW & ORDER: CI), but hopefully will get to some of these later this evening before prime time TV on the DVR begins around 9:30.

I hate being in Cinemascope! I'm back from the recital which was wonderful; it had some beautiful music and some humor at the end which was wonderful after Berio's rather pretentious Circles. It was an awesome piece filled with ridiculous percussion noises - two players employing everything but the kitchen sink - and interesting harp sounds, but the colors were amazing and I loved it. The harp, 2 percussionists and Carin closed the evening with an hilarious arangement of Mozart's glorious "Voi che sapete." It was nice to meet more of the wonderful Gilfry family and Carin looked gorgeous tonight, absolutely beautiful. She leaves NYC in two weeks to become a young artist with the Santa Fe Opera. Next October she and her father play Liesl and the Baron von Trapp, with Kim Criswell as the Mother Abbess, in THE SOUND OF MUSIC at the Theatre du Chatelet. I'm thinking about making the trip just to see it!

DR elmore - Congrats to Carin for getting into the Young Artists Program at Santa Fe.

-And there are some great deals on airfares to France right now. Just be sure to check all the airport fees - sometimes they're just as much as the actual ticket.

What a long day this has been - I was zonked to begin with from two hours of sleep, but then to package up hundreds of CDs, get them shipped, print out hundreds of new orders, deliver an order and wolf down some food - I gotta tell you.  But I'm done for the day.

Did you forget about the flight?

Our ride should be here momentarily, so...

Jose, I've enjoyed all the photos from your trip. Thanks for posting them.

Has anyone there asked about Monkey? Or did Monkey go off on his own excursion?

Was the original "Star Trek" movie really that much of a bore? I think I liked it. Of course, I also like Stephen Collins, so... ;)

Yes, it is pretty much a bore, mostly because it's too long for the slim story they had to tell.

I finished the bonus features for NEW IN TOWN. There were 11 deleted scenes. There was a featurette on scrapbooking. And the BD-Live site was also there.

I sped through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. It was the end of that short little story arc. Don't know where it's going from here.

Next I watched last night's THE TUDORS. Always enjoyable, especially knowing Cromwell's days are numbered.

I then watched LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT. Yes, that was Norbert Leo Butz in a main role. I thought it was also Anthony Crivello, but I guess it wasn't. I didn't see his name in the credits.

Tonight's '24' was very exciting, and as in previous years, the main threat was finally neutralized a week before the season finale. BUT the bad guys always have one more trick to play, and that began tonight that will lead to what appears to be a very explosive season finale next week.

And I concluded my evening with the first of tonight's MEDIUM episodes, the conclusion of the three part story arc begun last week. It included a very good twist (though I have to admit about halfway through the show, I figured out the twist before it happened.)

Speaking of Young Artists, you heard it here first:  there's a new series in development I just did a long and exhausting online marketing survey for that's basically FAME warmed over.  It's called LIMELIGHT and it has the Egyptian guy from the Mummy movies and that girl from American Dreams.  It's really, really bad.

I got my federal tax refund today. I really was not expecting it until the end of the month. Very pleased as this is the first money back from the US in probably a decade.

Shayne, you shouldn't be having a problem.  I've been getting orders all day for two and three CDs.  You just need to put your item in the shopping cart, then go back and click Buy Now on another album and it, too, should go in the shopping cart

The lamp needed replacing - I ordered it.  It arrived.  The last time I had to replace the lamp, which was a mere year ago, we had major problems.  A service technician did it, and the prongs that the lamphouse plugs into were all bent and loose.  Well, they snapped today and this TV is now so antiquated that it's simply not worth it to fix it.  So, we'll have to do something about it, like get a TV - happily, orders have been very healthy.

A cleaver?  At this point, I'll take a Barbara Billingsley chin, if that's all that's available.

What is wrong with yours?

Flight was fine and on time.  I got home around 10:40 and immediately began packing up CDs - got everything shipped out.  I also had over two hundred Tom Jones orders to print out - it looks like this will be gone by morning.

Glad your trip was safe (and over).  Welcome Home!

BTW, Laura, Jason said to say hello.

Oh, how sweet. Thank you. Now I am wondering how I happened to come up in a conversation.
It started with a discussion of  game wardens and other men in uniforms.

Laura - i had recited the hysterical birthday poem which Sandra wrote for me, and somehow your name came up, too.

Oh, well, I guess that makes sense. I hope he doesn't think we are crazy, or anything. He probably does.

I think Jason kind of has a clue already--- about so many ofus!

I fell asleep during the first Star Trek movie. I never bothered to go see another one.

Everyone fell asleep during that one.;D

I have yet to see a STAR TREK movie, and I doubt that this one will be an exception.

I saw a Star Trek episode once (the original series).
