Good morning, all! I'm feeling a bit down emotionally today, and I'm not sure how much is the change in climate and a desire to hibernate and how much is tomorrow's birthday of someone for whom I care a great deal, knowing at the same time it's a hopeless affection.
I am back to the McGlinnventory after my Rainbow hiatus. I will be exremely happy when this round of the inventory is over and we have an idea of what's there before we start fine-tuning. I 've selected several scores and books I want for myself, and I believe my colleague William Hicks - who's also in the will - has done the same, but I'm also reticent about taking a volume out of a complete edition that might fetch the estate a good price. I also know that if I took everything I wanted, I'd need another room to store it or have a need to send another 50 cartons of books to Ohio.
After the McGlinnventory, I will take the crosstown bus to my pharmacy and pick up my industrial strength ibuprofen and my refill on one of my meds. When I get back here, I'll catch up on the latest TOP CHEF episode. And that's my day.

Looks like a day off for me unless something arrives that requires immediate attention.
I forgot to mention it last night but I did receive in yesterday's mail the Blu-ray releases of Criterion's HOWARDS END and WINGS OF DESIRE. They don't come out until the first Tuesday in November, so I won't immediately dive into them. I do plan to do the standard DVD of WINGS OF DESIRE on Friday.

Question from the tech-challenged: if I hooked this gadget up to an old analog television, would it work? Would there be any point?
Would it work, yes. There are analog connections on Blu-ray players as well as digital connections.
Would there be any point? Well, the image would look wonderful and give the TV the best image it'd be capable of producing (the Blu-ray player would have to be set to deliver 480i resolution), but HD pictures on less than HD equipment is a waste of resources unless you someday plan to buy a new TV to replace the analog one. Then, the Blu-ray player could function at its maximum capacity.

This model that is being sold today on woot.com seems to lack an ethernet connection. DR Matt, have you come across any Blu-Ray discs that take advantage of broadband connectivity in any interesting way?

No, not really. For me, the most convenient aspect of having an ethernet connection is that the player can get firmware upgrades over the net without having to download them onto a memory stick or burn a CD just for an upgrade. (And upgrades are important because the studios keep changing protection on their discs to prevent piracy and some discs won't play on older players without the upgrades.)
-
Tonight is my nightmare night as far as TV scheduling is concerned. So many wonderful shows crammed into the three hours of primetime. It's really absurd.
For fans, just a reminder that 30 ROCK begins its fourth season tonight at 9:30 on NBC.

I got a little note from Disney saying the made-for-home video TINKER BELL AND THE LOST TREASURE on Blu-ray has been shipped. I might even get it tomorrow, and if I do, I'll likely do it before WINGS OF DESIRE. Tink comes out on October 27th, and WINGS on November 3rd.
I hope this new TInker Bell adventure is better than the first one. Of course, they had to establish her backstory in that one, so in the new one, we can just have the adventure.
-
DR Michael S, I hope your father's condition is nothing too serious. I'll be thinking good thoughts for him.

Hmmm...looking further into this model's specs, I see that it does have a USB port and something called BD Live, which I guess does allow for internet connectivity via a network adapter (like my Tivo) so I guess it would allow for the firmware updates you mention. Still, I'm seeing that there are better models available on Amazon for not much more money so I think I will pass on this woot offering.

Rowan Atkinson: The Piano Player (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd0UAdpBNUg)

I've been spending the past couple of nights catching up with a backlog of episodes of shows such as PROJECT RUNWAY, THE AMAZIN' RACE, etc last night I watched the second and third episodes of FLASHFORWARD. What I find with this show is that it seems like it's playing its cards out too quickly (I felt that in the first episode as well.) The writing is also heavy handed and hammy (it's already reminding me of INVASION.) But I like the cast and I do find the mystery intriguing enough to stick with it for now.
-
I'm going to head down now and get cleaned up for lunch out today with friends. I think I'm going to have turn on my central heat. The house is feeling a bit chilly, and I'm not feeling very comfortable now that I've cooled down from my walk and exercising.

So many pretty songs already listed.....to them I will add:

Read all of the Adriana reviews again, and rated them HELPFUL, which I hadn't done yet!
-
Yes DR JOSE - Mario plays the same character - there was even a nice flashback to the shower scene with him and Christian.
He is now working with the boys - specializing in lady parts. The show is as crazy and illogical as ever.
Like DR MATTH I am weary of the wife drama on GLEE, but last night was a funny episode. I guess Sue's theme music will be CARMINA BURANA for the rest of the season, and her dialog was very funny. Next week looks like it might suggest some anarchy that I hope students don't pick up in schools around the country. I think Ryan Murphy - like most writers - forgets he is writing for teenage characters, not adult characters when he has some of the kids says things....but at least there was no Kristin Chenowith to completely throw the balance of the show off. Hopefully she won't come back or be referenced again. Once more and no matter what - I'm done. I'm glad she has her fans, but include me out. :P

That's my problem with Blu-Ray and why I hate it. It is too high maintenance.
With DVD, even with a Blu-Ray player, you just pop it into the machine and within a few seconds, it plays. There is no upgrading firmware or anything like that.
[Frankly, I know nothing about how to get or do the upgrades. Yes, I admit that I'm a technical dunce, and I don't have the time or desire to deal with upgrades every few weeks.]
The other night, I started to watch SNOW WHITE on Blu-Ray. The opening trailers played okay, but when it came time to watch the film itself, it just froze for 10 minutes, and the digital readout on the machine said "Slide Show".
Finally, I gave up and watched the DVD disc that came with the set. It looked great.
I'll stick with DVD on my Blu-Ray player.

I am having a tough time stomaching Mario Lopez these days on Extra. I don't know whether he is being scripted or not, but his bitchy "off-the-cuff" comments about the celebreties the show reports on are making him out to be a colossal sleezeball. It's getting to the point where I'm considering tuning out and missing his once-a-week shirtlessness.
-
LOL....Mario is just waiting for the next gig. I think they're probably scripted, but I don't watch the Entertainment show he "reports" on - so I can't be sure.
I am watching SENIOR PROM on TCM.....never saw it before. Interesting cast including Tom Laughlin.
-
Druxy, I used to get that "Slide Show" problem on my old Samsung (IIRC--I've had 3 BD players). A firmware upgrade solved it. Firmware is very easy--either do it over the internet if you're connected, or just order a disc from the manufacturer and pop it in. It's not a big deal, and believe me I'm a technophobe about stuff like that.
Today begins our jaunt to Wisconsin, or at least the preps for it (we leave in the middle of the night tonight). Anyone who cares to send flying vibes to me will be blessed with untold fame and fortune. ;)
-
Is there any way to search the old HHW board? I am trying to find the first mention of GUMNAAM by BK or whoever watched it first.
-
I am with you Druxy, as far as the BD technical updates...that is one thing that has kept me from investing in it. I would get kind of cranky if the movie wouldn't play until I did an update. That, and the fact that there are so far very few movies on BD that I want, yet.
Someday, perhaps.
-
Last night I watched the new program THE FORGOTTEN. I lasted about 10 minutes. The cast was very annoying. I liked the idea of the show, but it needs recasting and the writers from CASTLE.

I need Dear Nurse Jane here at our house today. Aside from the fact that it's a typical rainy, cold fall day, both Mum and I are down with something (hopefully nothing that lasts).
Mum was fighting chills and other unseemly things late last night; I'm stuffed and trying to get some solid food into myself.
With everything that is going around, I have a call into Mum's physician to see what she has to say about the situation(s).
Last week, both Mum and I did get our flu shots. . .

Yes DR JOSE - Mario plays the same character - there was even a nice flashback to the shower scene with him and Christian.
He is now working with the boys - specializing in lady parts. The show is as crazy and illogical as ever.
Like DR MATTH I am weary of the wife drama on GLEE, but last night was a funny episode. I guess Sue's theme music will be CARMINA BURANA for the rest of the season, and her dialog was very funny. Next week looks like it might suggest some anarchy that I hope students don't pick up in schools around the country. I think Ryan Murphy - like most writers - forgets he is writing for teenage characters, not adult characters when he has some of the kids says things....but at least there was no Kristin Chenowith to completely throw the balance of the show off. Hopefully she won't come back or be referenced again. Once more and no matter what - I'm done. I'm glad she has her fans, but include me out. :P

Dear Larry,
Mr. Morelli is working away on your tapes. Did you do the orchestrations for these concerts or are they just performances you attended? I don't think I ever asked you.
Some of the arrangements/orchestrations are mine and then there are other concert works by others. I found the other cassette for Anthony, a Christmas one.

I think she's great for the right projects; I saw her 100 years ago do a fabulous Luisa in THE FANTASTICKS, and I think she was a great choice for ageing operetta diva in MUSIC IN THE AIR. She's all wrong for Marian Paroo and Fran Kubelik.

DR JoseSPiano - which Ben Folds albums would you recommend for a novice? :)
Well, as "Ben Folds Five": "Whatever and Ever, Amen"
As "Ben Folds": "Rockin' the Suburbs"
And as part of "The Bens" (along with Ben Kweller and Ben Lee): "The Bens - EP" (Just 4 tracks, available via iTunes)
*I also like Ben Folds' cover of "Golden Slumbers" from the "I Am Sam" soundtrack - well, at least the album that's comprised of all Beatles' covers.
-
A Nun Takes the Veil??

Well, I had quite a surprise when I got in from lunch. I was sitting happily watching a PERRY MASON episode, planning on watching a whole bunch of them this afternoon when the doorbell rang, and it was the UPS man holding, you guessed it, the FIVE Fox Blu-rays that are only 9 days past street date.
Still, I immediately put on MIRACLE ON 34th STREET (1947) and was charmed all over again with its love and spirit and warmth and charm. I also had time to listen to a good chunk of Maureen O'Hara's commentary.

Before heading out to lunch, I had time to watch last night's MODERN FAMILY. I think it's the strongest episode yet for the series. I was hysterical for much of the show. Shelley Long was the guest star, but it's the core cast that's just dead-on perfect in their roles. What a wonderful new show!
-
Yes, I send my best wishes for Papasaurus!!!

I did get to watch one PERRY MASON episode before heading out to lunch. Darryl Hickman was the most famous of the guest stars, and he grew up to be a stunningly handsome young man (he still looks good). Really enjoyed his performance in the episode.
-
Listening to CRY FOR US ALL, I guess I can understand it not capturing an audience. While the music and performances are glorious, the lyrics are pretty heavy handed. THat might have been appropo to the original material, but it also needs a touch of the poetic.

Nope - all backing-up is on our property is a tricky maneuver to get the car pointing out of the drive way. One drives straight back until the sewage grinder is abeam the rear car door, then cut the wheels right to back up to the pine tree under the squirrel feeder - being careful not to plunge off our own retaining wall into the wetlands; next you start forward, cutting the wheels to the left to avoid running over the embedded propane tank; at the top of the drive cut sharply to the right - if you cut too sharp you take out our mail box or the other retaining wall takes out the fender; if you don't cut sharp enough you will take out the mailbox across the street.
After mastering this evolution, Woody's driving test was a snap!

The actor who played the lead at the first table reading was someone the lyricist loved and had worked with - we saw no other real candidates at that time, and the author loved the kid's quality. I warned both then that I knew he was not good enough to pull off the role, and that proved to be the case for about half the reading. He's a good egg and a good singer, but any naturalness (essential in this character) always seems actory and forced. When Patrick came in and read everyone knew immediately just how right I was. I mean, they didn't even want to read other people at first and I told them I would not direct the show without having proper auditions for every role, and that means seeing more than one person.

Back from the mix fix - I did most of Brent's little one-word fixes - there were about five and we were able to do them easily. I also made some adjustments for the MD, but those were very minor and I certainly left more than half his notes undone as they were completely weird and unnecessary and would have really harmed the album - Brent knew that.

I picked up a couple of packages and came home. The street signs saying Tow Away are still in place even though not one single minute of work has occurred on the street, which I suppose will sit empty until six, at which point I will probably personally go out and rip these signs off the trees and posts.

If anyone is looking for an inexpensive Blu-Ray player, www.woot.com has one today for $134.99.
I was thinking about this, but since Blu-Ray discs cost so much more than regular DVD discs, I'm gonna pass. However, I did buy the Side Deal (http://www.cowboom.com/deal-of-the-day.cfm?aff=woot): a 7-megapixel camera for only $29.95 (and $5 shipping)! My digital camera went belly-up a few weeks ago and I need something. This camera can record video (which my previous camera could also), but this can record the sound for the video, which my previous camera could not. That alone makes it worth it for me. :)
I just hope that it's not a crap camera. ::)

At least Nolan Funk will not get unanimous pans. The Record said about the ATC-abused actor:
"Nolan Gerard Funk, meanwhile, adds a bit of spice to Birdie, who's usually a remote, vaguely drawn rock-and-roll menace to decent society. Funk makes him distinctly unappetizing - wearing only Jockey shorts, he guzzles beer that runs slobbily down his body - heightening the joke of the mindless adoration of his young fans."

Well, in my defense, this song was originally written for the movie and cut. They added to the Broadway show, then added it back to the movie. :)

Some of my advanced eighth graders used to snicker when we read "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" when Mrs. Mitty reminds Walter not to forget his rubbers. [sigh] The world was once so much more innocent.
I think I was the only kid in the theater that didn't laugh during BYE BYE BIRDIE when Mrs. Peterson told Albert to be sure and pack his rubbers.

Mr. Hit Maker: Bert Kaempfert - In Color!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKdcMYRhUeA)
I wonder if my mom knows who he is (was?). She's from Germany and might have heard of him. :)
You are joking aren't you, George?

I guess you are too young, but Bert Kaempfert and his Orchestra had a lot of hit pop records in the United States during the Sixties.

The story of that kid and the balloon reeks of something or other. Now the kid is saying he hid in the attic because his daddy scolded him. WHAT KIND OF WORLD ARE WE LIVING IN???? His DADDY SCOLDED HIM??? Oooh, that's terrible. As I said in my rant of the other day, parenting is at an all time low and children are as well. The daddy apologized to his child for scolding him, even though he was right to scold him - heaven knows we shouldn't scold our children when they do something wrong because if we do they might actually learn something. That is, if any of this stupid story is true in the first place. Shame on these people, shame on the parents and the children and shame on the media for being the first-class first-drawer jerks they are. Drop 'em all on an island, like Lost, and let them feed on each other until there's nothing left. And if you'd like to know how I REALLY feel, just ask.

No thanks, I can guess.

The family are idiots who were on WIFE SWAP twice. They were my second least favorite family ever featured on that show....a San Francisco man who came from London and his wife were the WORST!

Time to move forward, once you have made up your mind.
If I moved forward, I would crash into the neighbor's retaining wall. For us, all progress must start with moving backward.

And hopefully accompanied by a loud "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" as we backup.
! always BEEP when I back ! Getting older has its downsides!

I am probably wrong (although I usually leave that to Jack), the WSJ critic talked about the two enduring standards that came from BBB being PUT ON A HAPPY FACE and A LOT OF LIVIN' TO DO. However, I would wager that 100 times as many people would know the song KIDS, than have ever heard of A LOT OF LIVIN' TO DO.
-
Be that as it may, I agree.
-
Maybe she didn't recognize KIDS the way Irwin was singing it. The NJ review. I have a feeling these are going to be raves compared to the New York papers.

I am directing the staged reading of the show, here and in NY - after that, we'll see, although they've promised to make sure I go all the way with the show however far it may go. If not, I will be compensated for my contributions, which are many.

I'm watching an interesting motion picture on DVD called Telstar, the story of record producer Joe Meek.

Home from talking about The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society with my book group friends. Fortunately, our hostess did not serve the culinary delight named in the title.

Joe Meek, for a very short time, was basically the UK Phil Spector. He co-wrote and produced the smash Telstar, which sold two million records here and in the UK.

There were half a dozen bonus features for MIRACLE ON 34th STREET, but none was longer than 22 minutes, so I got them done in an hour.
-
Next, I skimmed the soap operas for today. Nothing of interest on ATWT or OLTL. Nothing in the previews for ATWT either.
-
I watched another PERRY MASON episode. I guessed the murderer fairly easily. When I was younger, I could NEVER figure out the killers. I've guessed the last three identities of the killers very easily in this first season set.
-
Next came tonight's episode of BONES. An enjoyable murder mystery, but I found it more graphic than usual for the show. I love the relationship between Booth and Bones, but the FBI boss who was interested in Brennan needed more encouragement!
I dislike the intern/girl friend of Sweets VERY much. She is my LESAT favorite intern, and I was hoping we were rid of her. From the looks of tonight's show, she's going to continue in a regular rotation with the other interns.
-
GREY'S ANATOMY was fraught with a lot of childish conflict tonight that simply wore me out. I couldn't get interested in the cases for all of the bickering and backstabbing. I hope this settles down.
Nice to see J.P. Pitoc in a guest spot.

Found out my sister really had H1N1. They confirmed it. She said she was wiped out for about 3 days but after that she felt ok
-
Don't know if DR jhvw had it too. She said at one point that he did, but I haven't heard if it was confirmed

FJL _ thank yoiu for the songs and the links!
The Vixter asked me to thank all of you for your suggestions, In the end she decided that "Corner of the Sky " fit her best. Thanks for the suggestion George!

Another day of rain tomorrow...sheesh! I'm really tired of it. Supposedly we will have better weather over the weekend. Hopefully they are being honest and not just teasing us. Tomorrow I have to go to Omaha very early in the morning.
-
Only 8 more days until teh Vixter and I get to see Fianian's Rainbow with Ginny & Richard - Elmore will you be joining us for the show or just for dinner afters with the lovely DR Julie?
I do hope that someof our other DRs will be available to meet us for Pizza if not at the show-

DR Cillaliz - glad to hear your sister's OK!
thanks Ginny, she said they told her she has all kinds of immunity now and shouldn't even catch a cold. Hmm haven't heard that before. she's participating in a follow-up where she's allowing her doctor to report to the CDC if she gets sick with anything for the next 15 years. Sounds like a long time to me. Not sure I'd agree to that

OK, UC won by 17 and are still undefeated.

I have to admit I've really enjoyed being back at work this week. It's been interesting and very very busy. I've had some challenges and will have more tomorrow in Omaha early in the morning, but they are feeling like challenges now and not frustrations. Between the new lease and the short vacation, I really feel revived and really optimistic about the future.
Wish the future included a trip to NYC and seeing Finnian's Rainbow, but for now I need to save $$ for the move. I'm hoping there will be full reports about the trip and HHW get together

The LA rainy season is done - two days. The city is back to normal (well...) and it was like a summer day.

Has the pronunciation of H1N1 as "Hiney" caught on? People in my building seemed unaware of the "Hiney" pronunciation.

Now today we've had us POSTS.
-
FJL, when did this Funk guy become a cause for you? I'm just curious. It's nice that you're sticking up for him.
-
It's not much of a cause, just a few posts in response to a mob mentality that irked me (I know you know the feeling) and now that the BIRDIE reviews are out, it turns out that Funk doesn't need anyone to take him up as a cause.
It was one thing for people to say he's not right for a role, but for the chatters en masse to say he can't act is silly when there are examples of him acting on screen quite expertly all over the place.
I still think the casting of a hot-looking Albert, one of People's Sexiest Men Alive John Stamos, sounds giggle-worthy even in concept. It reminded me of the MAD Magazine satire of VIRGINIA WOOLF where they talked about how ugly they'd made Liz Taylor for that film. And concluded with: We wouldn't want our MOTHERS to look like that; our girlfriends yeah, but not our mothers.
-
It's not only casting Stamos, it's then making him look and act like a nerd, like Matthew Broderick in How To Succeed (or anything else subsequent to that). Dick Van Dyke didn't need glasses and he wasn't a nerd - he was, in fact, a funny, charming, human, and REAL leading man.
