Richard was called to Lima late yesterday afternoon for pastoral duties, so Rob and I spent the afternoon at Middfest and brought our Indonesian houseguest Alex home for a snack and to crash. I'm up early this morning, because Alex told us last night that he likes "big American breakfast." Do you think bacon, eggs, waffles, juice, coffee/tea will fill the bill?

Post by: elmore3003 on October 04, 2009, 06:11:55 AM: Good morning, all! I slept relatively well, but my left leg is definitely causing me problems. when I go in for my flu shot, i will ask the doctor to investigate further. I think it's arthritis in my hip joint, but it's getting quite uncomfortable and giving me a bad time walking, which I do not need.

The laundry is in the washers, and I need to tidy the apartment and mop the bathroom while things are drying. I'm thinking about running over to Cafe 82 for eggs this morning as well. After that, I need to reconcile my FR check with the invoice - I would hate it if I screwed it up - and write my two fixes for the copyist. I may need to run them up to 172nd Street this afternoon. The two fixes are in Act Two, which we won't hear until Tuesday, but I'd like them in for Tuesday so we know they work. I think there are a few new cues coming down the pike but I will not worry about them till I get them.

That's my day.

DR George, thanks for the report on ZOMBIELAND. I loved SHAUN OF THE DEAD. I also want to see PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, which I hear is really terrifying, but I have to hold off on that till I finish FINIAN'S RAINBOW. I can't afford the fatigue from being too frightened to sleep. This only happened to me on the BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and I had a month of nightmares after that film. I remember in the 1970s being amazed that THE EXORCIST had so terrified my sister-in-law Carolyn and her firend Snooky, and I thought they were insane. The damned BLair Witch did a complete number on me and I am much kind in my old age. I am such a wuss.

Post by: Jennifer on October 04, 2009, 06:28:37 AM: Like DR MattH, I have a lot of things to watch on my PVR.

Yesterday I got through 2 THE GOOD WIFES (which I said i really really liked) and the first 2 SMALLVILES. I'm frustrated with this show. There are some good things (mostly with lois and chloe) and some awful stuff i end up having to ff thru.

I have not yet watched the first 2 HEROES (just haven't felt like watching). And i also have the first 2 FASTFORWARDS. And the last 2 THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.

I also have the movie MILK, which i never saw.

Post by: Matt H. on October 04, 2009, 06:50:31 AM: I've gone back and forth about taking a day off, but I've decided I'll work today and have tomorrow off. Today I'll be watching THE PROPOSAL on Blu-ray. I'm really in the mood for a wonderful romantic comedy, and I hope this is it. Ryan Reynolds has stolen the last several films I've seen him in as support for higher billed stars. Looking forward to seeing him as the star for a change.

I was curious about THREE RIVERS until I saw the strange tv commercial for the show which was interspersed with a rock band and a keyboard player banging away between scenes from the show. My initial reaction of what the hell quickly turned to intense loathing.

Post by: JMK on October 04, 2009, 08:37:06 AM: Had kind of a fun day whittling down my review chores. Watched a 2008 Harmonia Mundi BD of Don Giovanni, which has some of the oddest tempi choices ever (the Commendatore scene is an Allegretto, at least, LOL), and finished up the excellent, if derivative, Mark Burnett quasi-documentary Expedition Africa. Now I only have two catalog titles left (Sum of all Fears and Hell Ride) until the next onslaught. But I expect that mammoth boxed set of Snow White this week which will take quite a bit of time to get through. Plus Betsy leaves for Reno today (for her quickie divorce), so I will be doing Dad Duty.

Post by: bk on October 04, 2009, 09:56:20 AM: Jrand, the Holy Grail release is a month away - tonight I may announce our next release, which is really fun and pretty much a historic release of music from two beloved films (and the main title from a third) - the world premiere release for all the music. This was an incredible coup - these titles were the first thing I asked for when I began my deal with MGM, but at that time there were problems that were seemingly insurmountable, but three weeks ago the problems went away and it worked out. I think some people will be very excited about it.

Title: Re: DIGNITY, ALWAYS DIGNITY
Post by: bk on October 04, 2009, 09:59:02 AM: The Holy Grail release is something totally other. It's from a studio that no one could get into until recently, and involves a score that is, for me, a personal Holy Grail. How others will see it I know not, although the film, for those who've seen it, is really loved. The second title on the CD is from a lesser-known film but from the same composer, and it is so beautiful it's up there with the best of that period for this composer. The two films in question were both released in the 1960s a year apart from each other. And that's all I'm saying.

Well, this is heartening:

Quote
Dr. Kenneth Petersen, an assistant administrator with the department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, said that the department could mandate testing, but that it needed to consider the impact on companies as well as consumers. “I have to look at the entire industry, not just what is best for public health,” Dr. Petersen said.

If only the government were as concerned about my food supply as they are about my choice of a life-partner (or a sex partner, for that matter).

They'll doling out small dollops of information just like LOST did in its first season, some right on point and some misdirections. Grand fun.

WOnderfully pleasing actors (Ryan Reynolds with the body of Zeus, Oscar Nunez and Betty White stealing every scene they were in), but there certainly wasn't much original in the premise of execution. Frankly, 27 DRESSES, which was made by the same director and got pretty bad reviews, actually had more originality than this movie.

I got off the subway at 103rd Street, thinking I would take a bus down Broadway but there was a street frair runing north on Broadway from 96th Street. I walked down Broadway through the fair to 94th, caught the bus, and here I am. The first Mummy film with Brendan Fraser is playing on the tv at the moment, but I think I'll catch up on some DVDs.

On my way into my building, I ran into the super's wife who just returned from Belgrade. She brought me a gift from Dragan, which was very kind of them. I haven't opened them yet. I needed to take care of my new shoelaces and my Amazon.com package she was holding for me as well.

Nope - you need sausage, homefries and toast.

In some locales, a "big breakfast" would require a meat dish like pork chops, fried chicken, or cold roast beef

Tonight's announcement is a two-fer and, for me, a somewhat historic release for reasons that will become apparent, and which has to do more with the films and filmmaker than anything else. It's a world premiere for everything on the CD, which includes a bonus track from a third film.

The Holy Grail, which probably won't be announced until November at some point is a personal Holy Grail and involves two films, same composer.

The FSM project, for which I provided the tapes, is something that will make people very happy - the Kritzerland logo will appear on that release, which is nice.

I haven't heard any further news.

I did check the public timeline on Twitter, and there were a couple of tweets from audience members who were in attendance. I also ran into one of the concession workers - who ended up with afternoon off - and he remembers running into the reporter as he was leaving the theatre. - And then was surprised to hear that the news made it to the web so fast. BroadwayWorld.com also broke the news. In any case...

The series premiere of the Alex O'Laughlin medical drama THREE RIVERS is tonight. I'll bet it'll get delayed from its 9 p.m. start time by a baseball runover, but I'll try to record it nevertheless. Shouldn't be a problem since I have dropped DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES from my viewing schedule.

I was curious about THREE RIVERS until I saw the strange tv commercial for the show which was interspersed with a rock band and a keyboard player banging away between scenes from the show. My initial reaction of what the hell quickly turned to intense loathing.

I'm curious too (I loved Alex O' in Moonlight) -- as I was driving back from LA a commercial came on the radio for it, and boy did the lines/sound bites sound melodramatic (dare I say soap opera-ish ...) at times some of his words in his dialogue even sounded like the movie trailer guy ... maybe it will play better with visuals ...

I cannot imagine how much better it could look in high def. But I'll be eager to see it whenever it comes around on DIsney's Blu-ray slate. Not for two or three years I'm sure.

I see what some folks were saying about the possession of Ariel. I don't understand why Allison holding her daughter caused such a malevolent spirit to leave her. We either needed more explanation, or they needed a better ending.

Up until then, it was really a good episode though derivative of previous MEDIUM episodes when Allison's been possessed by some ghost or she swaps personalities with someone else.

Post by: bk on October 04, 2009, 07:54:25 PM: Watching Mad Men. Prior to that I decided to start figuring out the cues for movie number two on the Holy Grail release. Taking much longer than movie one because some of it is out of order and some has been futzed with in the way it's used in the film. I'm about an hour in on this two hour film. There are a few source cues I'll use in the score where they occur, but I'm moving the others as bonus tracks because they really interrupt the flow of things. Plus there are the damaged cues, two of which weren't important at all and one of which I'll use because the damage is only in the first fifteen seconds.
