Thanks, Kerry for the Central Park information.

Thanks, Jose for looking for other venues. I had thought it would be done at the Ziegfeld myself but it's not on the official list. Nor is Radio City Music Hall. There is nothing listed for Manhattan on the PDF or through a Zip Code search.

Here is the "official" Web site

Wizard of Oz (http://www.ncm.com/Fathom/Premiere/WizardofOz.aspx)

Click Here gives you a PDF of all theatres around the country showing the film. If you enter your zip code on the right side of the page you get theatre in your general area (very wide area since for my zip they are listing Long Island, New Jersey and Pennsylvania).

ASK BK

I hope this is not too convoluted.

When searching cast recordings for possible reissues and looking at labels that may have produced a handful of recordings (Like Roulette's Show Girl, Mercury's All In Love,  Mio International's Colette, Project 3's Minnie's Boys, Cry For Us All) or self produced (Angel by Gary Geld/Peter Udell) or labels that have been absorbed by other labels (MGM's Cradle Will Rock, ABC-Paramont's Cindy)

I wonder if this is the procedure that you go through.

Will there be enough interest in the title (How do you decide yea or nay. What are your parameters?}

and

1) Which label now owns the rights
2) If the rights are available
3) Are the masters available
4) Quality of said masters

Anything left out?

Just curious about the process you go through in deciding what you will release.

Good morning, all! I have a morning at Toyland, a trip to see Stephen Cole who is in rehearsals for his show THE ROAD TO QATAR, a stop at the Lincoln Plaza Cinema, and then a return to, hopefully (but who's holding their breath?), to repeaired bookcases. Tonight my friend Val from Barnes & Noble and I are seeng TAKING WOODSTOCK. That's my day.

I had a great meeting with the FINIAN'S RAINBOW copyist Brian yesterday. I like the personnel on the show quite a lot.

I remember seeing THE WIZARD OF OZ in a glorious new print on Memorial Day weekend, 1984, at the Metro at 100th and Broadway, when it was a good revival house. I don't even know if it's still a cinema today. That was my last viewing of the film.

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now,
(C'mon baby, do the Lucubration!)
I know you'll get to like it
If you give it a chance now
(C'mon baby, do the Lucubration!)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your A B C's
So come on, come on,
Do the Lucubration with me!

Good morning!

It's a gray morning in anticipation of the upcoming rain we're supposed to have. It hasn't started yet, and it's still going to be in the 80s today. Right now, however, I have the windows open and the house airing out.

My therapist told me on Monday that it would be OK to start back in walking around my neighborhood for the exercise. (I get so awfully bored with the treadmill). I couldn't do it yesterday not knowing when the roofers would come, and I have to do it when it's cool. I won't walk if I end up dripping with sweat when it's over.

Anyway, I did my first walk in quite a while this morning, and even though I was exhausted when I got back and my calves were chiding me for my harsh treatment of them, it felt good and I'm hoping I'll be able to do it daily now (at least so far as the rain will allow. It's supposed to rain for the rest of the week.)

Today I start my next work project: MY NAME IS EARL - Season Four. I didn't watch this final season of the show last year, so I'm delighted now to catch up with it. It should take me two days to get through all the episodes and bonus fatures. There don't appear to be any commentaries, so that will speed things up considerably, too.

Last night I watched THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY on TCM.  The first time I saw this picture years back, I hated it--I thought all of the characters were idiotic ninnies.  But with repeated viewings, it's completely won me over and I now enjoy it for it's twisted, daffy and macabre humor.  And I love that Bernard Herrmann score!

Loved her in everything I ever saw her do, and I was SO thrilled for her when she won the Emmy for THE SNOOP SISTERS. I wish the show had been more of a popular hit because I really loved it. I was thinking of rewatching DANGEROUS LIAISONS last night, but ran out of time.

I didn't see DANGEROUS LIAISONS until she was dead, and I didn't know she'd done the film. It was such a thrill to see her in it. All we ever talked about was my obsession with 70 GIRLS 70!

I have the same problem with Charlotte's godmother Celia Weston; she'll tell me she's been off working on something but never know exactly what. I go to a movie and - shazam! - there she is!

Not such a nice day here today, so a good day for some indoor stuff - which is just what I have planned.  A matinee of Burn the Floor.   A reading I must attend this evening of a play.  And some time to kill between the two - so -- maybe a late afternoon movie.  I must check the listings.

I am at Toyland. I just arrived from an especially peculiar visit to the Staples on 81st and Broadway; whenever I stop in there, my rating drops another percentage over the lazy and/or misinformed/uninformed employees. I had to buy a lot of CD cases and I got to the register where one employee was helping a customer at one register, another clerk was writing something into a notebook. and the other two stood there and chatted. As I waited, the employee at the register with the customer took the customer to a computer and I continued to stand there. I finally said "this is ridiculous," and the young lady chatting to the gentleman said, "are you waiting?" I wanted to answer, no, I like standing in front of an empty register with my arms full of items as an exercise for the biceps, but I just said yes. Before the sale was finished, the clerk had spilled a cup of coffee all over the shopping bags, sent a pil,e of papers flying, and had no change to giver my requested cash back. I now discover she didn't give me my receipt. Idiots. I hate Staples and the mismanagement of my neighborhood store is pathetic.

I am at Toyland. I just arrived from an especially peculiar visit to the Staples on 81st and Broadway; whenever I stop in there, my rating drops another percentage over the lazy and/or misinformed/uninformed employees. I had to buy a lot of CD cases and I got to the register where one employee was helping a customer at one register, another clerk was writing something into a notebook. and the other two stood there and chatted. As I waited, the employee at the register with the customer took the customer to a computer and I continued to stand there. I finally said "this is ridiculous," and the young lady chatting to the gentleman said, "are you waiting?" I wanted to answer, no, I like standing in front of an empty register with my arms full of items as an exercise for the biceps, but I just said yes. Before the sale was finished, the clerk had spilled a cup of coffee all over the shopping bags, sent a pil,e of papers flying, and had no change to giver my requested cash back. I now discover she didn't give me my receipt. Idiots. I hate Staples and the mismanagement of my neighborhood store is pathetic.

This is per Jennifer's comment concerning Alan yesterday...

Yes, Alan was a tough guy and could be mean. However, it takes a very talented and gifted actor to play a character you love to hate.

 Another actor who played a nasty that I loved to hate was John Aniston. His version of Victor Kiriakis in the 1980s was in many ways similar to Alan Spaulding.

The thing I noticed the first time I saw THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY (on a big screen at a revival house) is how horrible Shirley MacLaine's posture is throughout the film.

I never did spot Hitchock's cameo in that one.  Had to look it up on a website.            :P

Well, it's a common misconception that he appeared in all of his films. He's in most but not all of them. He is in THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY, as you found out.

Poor NBC and their awful prime time schedule. This program should have been a top ten hit for years. Instead, four years on NBC to increasingly dwindling ratings and it's gone.

The only bonus feature on the first disc was four deleted scenes. I went ahead and watched the first episode on disc two (there are four discs in the set). I should have no trouble getting through disc two today and possibly on to disc three though I will stop around 9:15 and watch GLEE from the DVR so I can skip commercials.

I'm reading in fast speed, sorry if I missed anything I should have commented on. 

I spoke to Craig today, he had a phone interview & will know next week if he is invited to an in-person interview.  VIBES HE GETS THIS JOB & IT TURNS OUT TO BE BETTER THAN THE JOB HE WAS JUST OFFERED IN PHILADELPHIA!!!  For months he waited for the promised job in Philly & finally gave up. Now that he has moved, and can't move back, the job is his.  They even called him twice about it. ::)

So...

I take my seat in the first tier, and as I'm waiting for the rehearsal to start - and there was still a good 45 minutes before the downbeat - I decided to strike up a conversation with the young(er) man sitting next to me.  He mentions that, in addition to being an airline pilot - at the still relatively young age of 28! -  he plays violin and that he will soon be heading back up to his alma mater, Holy Cross, in a couple of weeks to play a concert with the orchestra there.  I ask if he knows "Eric", and, lo and behold, he does.

Eric is a friend of mine who was at Catholic University at the same time I was there as part of the school's accompanying staff.  He was getting his Doctorate in Conducting, and he landed the job up at Holy Cross right after finishing his DMA.  So, it turned out that Brendan started at Holy Cross the same year that Eric started there as a professor.  And Eric will be conducting the orchestra in a few weeks, and Brendan will be one of the soloists.  Small world!

After the rehearsal, we grabbed lunch up at Ollie's, and then, since he's relatively new in town, I took him up to Levain for dessert.  Then we walked up to Zabar's - he had never been - then we walked back to Central Park South to grab an espresso at Cafe Zibetto.

Then I headed over to MoMA, and he headed home to practice.

On the way to MoMA, a couple from Guatemala was asking people on the sidewalk how to get to the Museum, well...  I told them just to follow me since I was heading over there, and, that since I'm a member, I could get them in for $5 instead of $20.  And I did.

Then after another pass through Monet's "Water Lilies", and the Ron Arad gallery, I headed back home.

-Yes, a very good day.

DR Julie - There were plenty of tickets to this morning's New York Philharmonic open rehearsal.  The line on the plaza looked long, but even as I was heading in to Avery Fisher Hall, the young woman holding the "Line Starts Here" sign was still out - and there were still people getting in line.  -And there were plenty of available seats inside too.

As for the rehearsal itself, it was very good.  Because they are broadcasting the concert tonight on PBS, they had to go ahead and run the first half without stopping during the pieces for camera blocking purposes.

The commissioned piece by Marcus Lindberg is quite good, and really acts as a showcase for the orchestra.  Alas, I was not that impressed by the Messiaen, "Poemes pour Mi" featuring Renée Fleming.  They just seemed like an odd fit for the opening program, and even though Ms. Fleming was marking during the rehearsal, they just didn't seem like a good fit for her voice either.  -At least to my ears.  It's the first time that she's performed these songs, so maybe they just need a little more time to settle into her voice, body, mind and soul.  The texts are filled with lots of religious imagery, and I never got the sense that she was fully embodying the deeply spiritual and ecstatic spirit of the songs.  -I could also tell that she was still counting a bit with her heel.  -I'll have to watch tonight's broadcast to see if having her sing out fully "fixes" things for me.

The second half of the program consists of Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique" - and, boy, was it ever!

When they gave out the tickets this morning, they also handed out a slip of paper advertising their "Mobile Entertainment".  If you texted a certain number, then you could receive the program notes and links to sound clips for tonight's program.  They were also running a contest for some merchandise.  Well...

As I was leaving Lincoln Center, a text popped up on my iPhone... It turns out that I won an autographed (by Maestro Alan Gilbert) Opening Night Program!

And I have to say...

If anyone is looking for subjects for a new documentary or even a "reality television" show, well, look no further than some of the "Cultural Freebie Vultures" here in NYC.  Some people had lined up at 5:30 this morning for the free tickets - and, apparently, they line up that early any time free tickets are being given away.  They even plan strategies for when an event is general admission - like today's was.

They come prepared with portable folding chairs and box breakfast and lunches.  And, boy, do they get competitive!  One particularly "colorful" and curmudgeonly lady in front of me, made sure that everyone in line around her knew that she was in her space in line and that no one else was to get in front of her.  -Even when she decided to step out of line in order to talk to someone a little further back.  There was a gentleman behind me who also does the Freebie thing regularly, and he and this woman had some lively exchanges during the course of the wait.  They were also in line on Sunday for the free tickets for tomorrow's Metropolitan Opera open dress rehearsal.  And as we passed the guards and house managers, they all seemed to know, and even joked(?) with her, reminding her that she had been banned from the hall.  And other halls in the city.  Quite the character!

ASK BK

I hope this is not too convoluted.

When searching cast recordings for possible reissues and looking at labels that may have produced a handful of recordings (Like Roulette's Show Girl, Mercury's All In Love,  Mio International's Colette, Project 3's Minnie's Boys, Cry For Us All) or self produced (Angel by Gary Geld/Peter Udell) or labels that have been absorbed by other labels (MGM's Cradle Will Rock, ABC-Paramont's Cindy)

I wonder if this is the procedure that you go through.

Will there be enough interest in the title (How do you decide yea or nay. What are your parameters?}

and

1) Which label now owns the rights
2) If the rights are available
3) Are the masters available
4) Quality of said masters

Anything left out?

Just curious about the process you go through in deciding what you will release.

That's about it.  I've been wrong on a couple of titles in terms of how I thought they'd do, most specifically House Of Flowers and Show Girl - both broke even but made almost no profit whatsoever.

On a bad side, I got home and the bookcases are not finished, which pisses me off because it was my impression from George that he would finish today. If he doesn't show up till 1:00 pm tomorrow, then my day's wasted, I cannot get to my suit to try it on and the clutter, with his things here, is worse now. I am not happy about this.

It was nice to be at home with the girls. I curled up in my chair and watched Fried Green Tomatoes and dozed off a little.  I think that was from the allergy pills I took after being stung by something out in the yard.

I skimmed through today's ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Some nice scenes with Fish and Kyle turned up, too, so a very good episode. Of course, Fish's homophobic parents showed up at the end of the episode, so that's what we have to look forward to tomorrow.

Then I watched more episodes of MY NAME IS EARL. I had forgotten how many guest stars the show used. Almost as many as WILL & GRACE, believe it or not.

I got 15 episodes watched today. This will leave me with 9 (I think) for tomorrow. I forgot to watch the deleted scenes on disc two, so after I finish disc three tomorrow, I'll go back and cath up with those deleted scenes. I think there were only three of them.

Then I watched tonight's GLEE. A super episode with lots of character developments, cameos from Victor Garner, Debra Monk, and Josh Groban (none of whom sang). We did get to hear John Lloyd Young and Matthew Morrison on a couple of numbers.

Really loved tonight's show.

Mr. BIG would be an excellent guess.  And in honor of that guess, I just spoke with him - we'll be having dinner next week at some point.

It was NOT a guess - it was a deduction.

Oh my.....Mr Gibson and Ms Travers.

Peter, Paul & Mary were leaders in the folk music revolution....probably the first folk album we ever had at our house was one of theirs....we probably still have it around here.  I was kind of shocked when I saw them because they always seemed so OLD.....but I loved hearing them sing.

I enjoyed GLEE this evening.  It was my first time seeing an episode, but I didn't feel lost.  Such an attractive cast of boys and fun musical numbers.  The young black girl is not as strong in the acting OR singing department as someone thinks she is......but other than that.....   AND Jane Lynch!

Dinner with B.I.G. - so many questions and tales could be told!

My next question for ASK BK day......is TARAS BULBA the fastest sell out in Kritzerland history?  What do you think made it so popular?  I am glad I put my order in yesterday.

I'm hoping each of those kids gets a showcase number during the season. I like the lead boy and girl in the club, but I want to hear the others, too.

Yes, Taras was our fastest sellout.  Considering most people didn't see the announcement till six in the morning CA time, it really sold out in about three hours.

I think it's a beloved score and people seem appreciative that we've helped the sound so much, but I was as surprised as anyone given that it's already been on CD.  But, my big online dealer knew - he predicted it weeks ago.

Watching a fairly dreadful Mad Men.  The Labor Day long weekend episode that features twins and some of the most puerile writing I've ever heard.  And, the head secretary, Joan, I think is her name, just said she's stuck between Doris Day of Pillow Talk and the DD of Midnight Lace.  Interesting, as Midnight Lace wasn't released until late October of that year.

I specifically noted some of those kinds of errors in my Season 1 review.

My main opera distributor has come out with some unusually cool releases this month.  I spent the afternoon watching a fascinating Glenn Gould documentary, and I have Sting and Trudie Tyler (is that her name?) up next as Robert and Clara Schumann (I believe Pink is portraying Brahms).

I enjoyed the final episode of this season's BIG BROTHER and I was very, very happy with the outcome(s).

And do Jordan and Jeff not make THE best couple! I adore them both and do hope they continue at least with a strong friendship. And if Jeff does not take Jordan to Hawaii with him...well, I can only hope he takes me instead!

I am off to slumberland.

Off to see the folks in Canada. Don't know if Miami International has free wi-fi or not so I may not post to tomorrow afternoon.

Just incase I don't.....

I have no music or video planned although I might watch the Dark Knight on the laptop while Im up in the air to pass the time

Or I wll just do some scriptwork

I'm sure you pointed out the Astrud Gilberto song on the radio in October of 1960 - pretty good.

And since I'm in the last three episodes, I'm curious as to what the plot stuff is that MattH didn't like?  The Sterling plot line?  I must say, the actress playing Peggy is a good egg - she's gained about fifty pounds over the last six episodes.  I really like this gal a lot.  But frankly, I just don't see how Draper and Sterling are going to change - they are both fairly repulsive characters, especially Sterling.

Actually, I'd never even heard of the movie...let alone heard the score. ::)

But I very muchly enjoyed the audio clips on www.kritzerland.com/taras.htm.  I think I'll really like the rest of this. :D

I'm done with my viewing.  Listening to the new recording of the complete score to Exodus.  After the raving I've heard I was expecting the second coming, but it's not quite that.  It's perfectly fine, but there's absolutely no passion in the conducting - even though the CDs from RCA on the original soundtrack sound terrible, the conducting is amazing - here the tempos are reallllly slow, and while all the notes are being played, it just lacks - passion.
Title: Re: THE BEST OF INTENTIONS

That said, I love the score to Exodus and it's great to have all the music, at long last.

Color me VERY impressed!  The gal playing Peggy gained NO weight - it's all make-up - prosthetics and fat suits.  It is so realistic the people who did it deserve major kudos - I have never seen better and the proof is that I was completely taken in by it.
