Well, you've read the notes, the notes had life, and now it is time for you to post until the wonderful cows come home.

I'm not sure that I've ever seen It's A Wonderful Life all the way through. I guess I should remedy that. :P

My dad loves this movie, also. Before he ever bought a copy, it had been on TV a LOT...even the colorized version. He had an idea one year. He started recording the colorized version (on his VCR) and when it got to the part where [SPOILERS AHEAD!!] Clarence made George not have been born, he stopped the recording. He then waited until it was on TV again, but in the original black and white and started recording from where he left off. He then recorded in black and white until the part where George became real again and stopped the recording. He finished up his videotape with another broadcast of the colorized version. He made it like a reverse "Wizard of Oz." It was actually pretty cool!
-
Good morning, all! I am up early because I have band parts to finish for Brent Barrett's Birdland rehearsal tomorrow afternoon, and I have to finish up my BABES IN TOYLAND report and take it down to Toyland for Step 2: putting the corrections and revisions into the "official" computer file.
Beyond that, I have little planned. I think I will make out my rent check and send it in, and after that, who knows?

Still volunteering. We have accomplished quite a bit since Monday but we still have much more to do.
It's raining although that's supposed to stop by mid-afternoon. It may deter some of our volunteers.
That's it for now.

Here is a shot of some of the completed bags. It's hard to see but these particular bags, which are going to Beth Israel Hospital, are tied with white ribbon on the bag handles. The ribbon is then curled to look extra pretty.

Wednesday morning greetings! It's windy here in SW Ohio today, just like they said it would be.

And here is a picture of someone that some of you might recognize. This is the Children's Bags Room. The bald headed gentleman spent much of this year playing Daddy Warbucks in Annie and when he returned to New York he decided to keep the "hairdo"

DR Ben - thanks for the photos. Anthony makes a great Santa!

George, you probably already know this but the
Bonnie Hunt Show (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091208/tv_nm/us_hunt)

Thanks for the photos, DR Ben!
-
Well, after struggling for nearly two months with a clogged up head, today my nose will not stop running. What the hell?
DR Ben, thanks for the photos!
-
Thanks for the photos, Ben, and for all the work you are doing.
-
Good morning!
-
I do not like winter weather.
-
You're welcome Jose. I hope I got the right kind for you.
-
DR elmore - those people that were giving you a hard time at the recording studio were probably just searching for some way to feel helpful themselves. They probably realized the day could have proceeded very smoothly without them being there, and were desperately searching for some way to appear useful, and just weren't very good at it.
I can't wait to hear the recording. Thanks so much for your detailed description of the day.
-
Thanks for sharing the photos, DR Ben. You should be very proud of the work you are doing. You are going to brighten the day of many people.
-
Great story about your Dad and It's a Wonderful Life, DR George. It's always been one of my favorite movies.
-
Feel better vibes for DR elmore.

DR Julie, that's kind of you to say, but the truth is, outside of what I thought was a pointedly rude comment that I was talking too much, I certainly did need to be told to shut up for the recording to proceed. I think my feelings yesterday were really raw because I do not like wasting my time or anyone else's and I feel the whole day, for me, was a waste of my time: Joshie's perfectly capable of advising Rob or checking a score for errors and, outside of keeping an eye on the things I scored, I was pretty much in the way. And spending too much of the day perched on the wooden arm of a sofa or trying to get up off the floor is both uncomfortable and irritating. The recording team was very professional, and it went very smoothly for the recording, which is the most important thing in the scheme of things.

It has started snowing. It is supposed to snow around 35cms!

I'm not sure if anyone else watched last night's SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.

I was quite upset that they would not let one of my favorite dancers dance (ashleigh). I get it if she was injured. But her shoulder snapped out and they snapped it back in. They should have taken her for tests immediately.
I get that they need the doctors to advise because otherwise injured dancers would surely compete. But to me if she goes out on this, then they totally ruined things for her!
Btw, two of my favorites got to dance together (mollee and jakob). I thought their first dance was amazing!

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE SPOILER -
The film does have the potential to fill some people with despair rather than hope. It took some sort of divine-like intervention in the story to keep the suicide from happening - but people who reach that horrible point rarely have that kind of perspective when they're about to fall prey to their depressions. In a way, the film tells you to take a look around and notice the people who love you despite your flaws and also see the good you've brought to the world - but in real life that perspective must come from within the person himself or herself (you need to be your own Clarence), and how many have perspective like that when they're functioning normally, let alone feeling the depths of despair?
-
It is a great film.
-
Good morning!
It rained most of the night and it was still raining when I first woke up at 6. By 7:15 when I got out of bed, it had finally stopped, and I was able to take my walk, soggy though it was. The clouds are clearing away nicely right now, and we'll likely have a pretty day here.
-
Page Two Dance!!!
-
I think IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE is one of THE great American films, as good in its way as CASABLANCA or STAGECOACH or ALL ABOUT EVE.
I become a blubbering wreck every time I watch it. I adore Beulah Bondi in the film. Unbelievable that it won NO Oscars in 1946. (It didn't help that it was a box-office failure in its original release.) The magnificent screenplay wasn't even nominated!
-
More Mel Brooks today with YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN this afternoon and then SILENT MOVIE (which I haven't seen in ages) tonight.
I watched my own copy of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN three or four months ago, but I don't remember enough about the quality and specifics of the transfer to be able to write authoratatively about it without rewatching it today. I don't think I watched any (or many) of the bonus features when I first watched my copy.
-
I'm not sure I've ever seen It's a Wonderful Life all the way through, either, but I did see clips from it used brilliantly in a presentation about fundraising. Huge copyright violation, I suspect, but very effective.
-
Lots of new TV on tonight including new episodes of GLEE (fall finale) and MODERN FAMILY.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And there's no snow here in New York City. Lots of rain. No snow.
-
I watched IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE for the first time on afternoon television - decades ago - and was amazed that I didn't know anything about this film, and of course loved it, and told everyone I knew about it....
-
DR JOSE thanks for the DREAMGIRLS report. It seems that every production suddenly becomes about those who are doing it rather than the people it's supposed to be about.
I saw a touring company and worked on a local professional production as the choreographer - until the cast told the director they thought they needed a black choreographer - so I left, although when I went to see it, they had kept ALL of the work I had already done which was about everything in the first act. It was most disheartening - I received no credit except in the "Special Thanks."

Whew - that's a relief!

DR JRand - Do you know if members of that cast had ever seen pictures of Henry Krieger? Michael Bennett?
-
Some more Gypsy of the Year talk...
DR Julie - Did you find the "touring shows" presentation (surprisingly) moving (too)?
-
OH! YEAH!!!!
I believe some DRs may recognize at least one of the shows on this list. :)

DR Jennifer - From what I "understand", her injury occurred right at the top of the day of taping (Monday). Which meant that it happened before their first rehearsal on stage, their first rehearsal with lights, their first camera-blocking rehearsal, and their final run-thru. That would have been a lot of strain on her shoulder - even if she did pop it back in. It could have easily popped back out again - or worse. She could have also ended up injuring her partner. Even if she had been sent out to a doctor in the meantime, there would have been no way for her to get in a proper rehearsal before the taping started.
Yes, dancers do "dance through the pain", but I think the producers made a very smart - and difficult - decision.

Well, after struggling for nearly two months with a clogged up head, today my nose will not stop running. What the hell?
DR elmore - That just means that your head is finally clearing out. Literally. -I think the wet weather today is causing sinus issues for a lot of people, myself included.
-
DR JRand - Do you know if members of that cast had ever seen pictures of Henry Krieger? Michael Bennett?
My guess is - no.
-
My question for ASK BK day - what is your favorite current television show?
-
I was just thinking.....with more and more time given over by the networks to reality television - there will be fewer and fewer shows available for syndication.
The production companies and networks are saving money on production, but they are manufacturing shows with little or NO resale/syndication value.
How are Jay's numbers doing?
-
I'm heading down now to continue with the little Photoshop project I started yesterday. Then I'll start making some lunch and finally settle in with YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN after that.

As for "It's A Wonderful Life"....
I finally made it through the whole movie about 10 years ago. I remember catching it in snippets over the years, and we even screened it in during my Junior year Religion class in high school - over the course of three class periods, over three days. -Not the best thing for continuity. In any case...
I think it's a good film, but it's not one of my favorites. However, since it has been a while since I've seen it, I'm wondering - maybe even predicting - that I probably would be able to connect with the film more now than then. -Or however that's supposed to be phrased grammatically.
-
You're welcome Jose. I hope I got the right kind for you.
Yes, you did, Julie! Once again, Thank You.

Hmmmmmm.....here is an interesting site that writes about television shows and ratings.

Amazon says the new FINIAN'S RAINBOW recording will be released on February 2.

Great photos DR Ben, and what a wonderful and usefull way to be spending your vacation!!
-
I am another who loves IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. I used to watch it every holiday season when I was a teenager. Oddly enough I have yet to buy the DVD of it and I have not seen the film in at least 10 years, I think.
By the way, little Zsu Zsu lives up in DR George and DR TCB's neck of the woods. The Hollywood Theatre in Portland used to show the film every December and would often have the actress attend the showing.
-
My question for ASK BK day - what is your favorite current television show?
The only current TV shows I've watched are Lost and Mad Men - of the two, I must say I prefer Mad Men. While Lost is interesting and I like some of the cast, like Alias before it, the seams are really showing as it goes on.
-
BK, I must object to your statement about there being no wonderful character actors like in the old days....there are actually many splendid character actors and actresses, it is just that film makers do not use them like they used to way back when. And that is the disappointing thing.
-
I'm up - it's currently sixty-two degrees - in the HOUSE. I have the heat on.

Happy to say that it looks like The Children's Hour will probably be gone by tomorrow morning.

Question for Ask BK Day...
If you were made an offer to "return" to a TV series, how would you like to come back? -As an actor? writer? Or director?
-
Question for DRs...
Has "The Competition" (Richard Dreyfuss, Amy Irving, Lee Remick) ever been on DVD? If not, why not?
-
The Competition is only on VHS as far as I know, DR JOSE.
THE PAGE TURNER was on IFC today. That is one creepy movie.
-
In my DREAMGIRLS story, I left out one important fact - my friend the director told me I could remain on the project and he would support me, but strife and conflict are not creative stimuli for me. And grumbling and rolling of eyes had already become the standard reaction to the work we were doing......the work they kept.
-
Question for Ask BK Day...
If you were made an offer to "return" to a TV series, how would you like to come back? -As an actor? writer? Or director?
Something about acting in a series would probably tickle me - as long as it was an offer and I didn't have to play the games that people do today to get cast in anything, let alone a series. But I'd also love to create or executive produce a series (where I had some control) and then I could direct a few episodes, too.
-
I was wrong - The Children's Hour will be sold out by this evening.

Hadn't thought about that in many years...

last night was the fist fairly comfortable night i've had since going off the morphine. i'm tempted to continue the day with extra pain meds. except for an extra 3rd of a pill i'll take with my 11:00 dose, i won't. i'm splurging then for my 1st PT appointment.

Interesting, DR JoseSPiano. Thanks for the links!
Alas, I was hoping that after a second and third listen to the new "Listen", my opinion of it would have changed for the better. Well... However, I guess I do have to give the singers some credit for their good diction - even with all the riffing. -Although, I usually don't mind riffing either, so... Ah, well. But all those obviously "aren't I clever internal rhymes".. UGH!
-
I'm about to brave the elements (high winds) to do some errands. Shutting down the computer, just in case the power goes out while I'm away...bye for now!
-
Great photos, DR DAW!!!
-
Thanks for the links, DR JOSE. I am not as enthusiastic about the riffs as you are.
The screens look interesting - but I can see how they would become distracting. I sure get tired when a SHOW becomes a series of star turns that don't serve the evening.
-
I have Comcast cable and high speed internet. I am thinking of changing from AT & T to Comcast voice for my telephone. Thoughts?

Also on tv tonight are the results show of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.

If I had known this afternoon would be so filled with interruptions and frustrations, I would have started on YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN when I went downstairs and just skipped working on the Photoshop project. Argh, what a day!
-
While I ate lunch, I put in a PERRY MASON episode to watch since I didn't have anything recorded from last night's TV schedule.
A rather unusual MASON episode with Perry in with his client from the first scene onward. There was just a little bit of courtroom activity. Most of the episode happened elsewhere.
-
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is good but not great on Blu-ray. Contrast sometimes seems a little lighter than it should have been giving a less distinct picture. And the DTS-HD MA 5.1 sound barely opens up the mono original track.
-
I had listened to the Mel Brooks commentary before: kind of rambling but he does talk through the entire movie, mostly describing what we're seeing but occasionally throwing in an anecdote.
-
Back a little early today. We had another productive day. There was a group of middle school students from New Jersey to help today. They come every year as part of their school commitment to volunteer. They help put together bags for the kids and then they get lunch at McDonalds. They are very enthusiastic and eager to help. A few of them have been helping for 3 or more years. It's quite refreshing to see them help out and learn something about the world around them.
We will have a full day tomorrow (some of the bags that are finished will be delivered tomorrow) and Friday with a couple of big groups to be opened but things are going smoothly and we will probably finish early next week, probably by Wednesday.
-
The monarch scientist took me and another butterfly enthusiast (who also had monarchs in her butterfly garden) out for lunch to thank us for letting her monitor our gardens.
That's all the excitement from here.
-
Great photos, DR DAW!!!
Ditto, DAW!! ;D
-
The rain has stopped and though it's grey it's not too cold, unlike Wisconsin and Iowa which were socked hard by the snowstorm. I guess there is an upside to Anthony not going back to Fort Atkinson for the Christmas show since he would have to deal with 19 inches of snow.
-
Bruce, I’m pleased you had a nice birthday.
Jane, I see that you're using both upper and lower case letters! Things must be improving a bit!! ;D

Good performers, but I didn't like the song in the movie and I like the song even less after seeing that clip. :P
Just my opinion.

It is getting very COLD here right now.....
-
I just blew in from my errands - it sure is windy out there! It's supposed to get real cold tonight, too.
My mom called while I was out to tell us that she's been given January 8 as her moving date. Next week she and I will pick out her new carpeting and re-visit the apartment with furniture measurements. Today is a perfect example of why she needs to be in the "Big House." She can't walk to her mailbox in this wind - she's pretty unsteady on her feet and would blow right over. The last couple of winters have been very isolating and depressing for her and she will be much happier where she can see people every day.
-
It is getting very COLD here right now.....
It's 14 degrees here.

And I am quite sick with something which I guess might be H1N1, or whatever the hell it's called.

Ginny, I'm so glad your mom is looking forward to her apartment. It's all so much easier when they are happy to go.

Oh no, JMK!

DR Ginny - It really does sound like everything is and will work out fine for your mother. How big a property is it? How many other neighbors and residents are in her building?
The Richmond Men's Chorus rehearses in one of the activity room at one of the huge assisted living facilities. Anytime, I've dropped by, I've always been impressed with the layout and amenities. Heck, they even have four separate dining "experiences", including a full sit-down restaurant as well as a buffet and snack bar.

~~~~~H1N1 GO AWAY VIBES TO DR JMK~~~~~
-
Good news from DR GINNY!
DR JMK - maybe they will put you in a taxi cab and drive you to the Texas border and dump you out - and then call Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper.
-
Go Away Swine!!!
-
And I am quite sick with something which I guess might be H1N1, or whatever the hell it's called.
~~~Get Well Quickly Vibes for DR JMK!!~~~

That's not in reference to the oafish Perez Hilton (who is not a spokesman for me on any issue) but to our dear JMK

Hello from blizzard country. It's warmed up to 5 degrees but the wind chill is still -15 degrees. I got up pretty early and cleaned out the driveway. I haven't gone anywhere, though. They really don't want people to be out and about much today. All the schools are closed and many businesses are closed. We didn't get hit as hard as Des Mones...we got a little less than 10 inches of snow. It's a little hard to see the scope of a blizzard from my house because I'm so protected.
-
DR Ben thanks for sharing the photos etc Always fun to see your annual volunteering
-
Feel better vibes to JMK~~~~

I just caught the tv commercial for FINIAN'S RAINBOW; very strange. I'm glad the producers committed to doing one, though, and I hope it pushes ticket sales.
-
Great Photos DR DAW
-
Ginny, I'm so glad your mom is looking forward to her apartment. It's all so much easier when they are happy to go.
We have been blessed that both my mother and Richard's made their own decisions about moving to retirement communities and giving up their cars.
-
Back from all manner of errands and whatnot. Went to the tape transfer place, had some bacon and eggs and picked up a package that contained customs forms - and guess what? They've done it again - brand new forms consisting of FOUR pages. You write on the first one and it's supposed to go through the other four. Which means we can no longer stamp our name and address on what used to be a one-page form. I've been screaming at people for the last thirty minutes. First of all, I called the USPS and they STILL say that we don't have to put ANY customs form on ANY package under sixteen ounces. So I called the local post office and told them who I talked to and what they said and this cretin tells me that the USPS supervisors don't know what's going on, and that the computer is telling them we must use the forms. I told him to get in the ring with his own people and duke it out because I now had a person's name (a supervisor) and instructions NOT to do so. He actually threatened that the packages would all be returned. Now, I have never had an overseas package returned to me, so I don't know that I believe him. Then he told me we could continue using the one-page forms until they themselves run out of them and stop giving them to us - as a matter of fact, they haven't even received the new version yet. Someone could launch a class action lawsuit and win easily - maybe that should be me.
-
My MIL couldn't wait to get to The Home. My mother refused to go to one.
-
I just blew in from my errands - it sure is windy out there! It's supposed to get real cold tonight, too.
My mom called while I was out to tell us that she's been given January 8 as her moving date. Next week she and I will pick out her new carpeting and re-visit the apartment with furniture measurements. Today is a perfect example of why she needs to be in the "Big House." She can't walk to her mailbox in this wind - she's pretty unsteady on her feet and would blow right over. The last couple of winters have been very isolating and depressing for her and she will be much happier where she can see people every day.
DR Ginny - It really does sound like everything is and will work out fine for your mother. How big a property is it? How many other neighbors and residents are in her building?
The Richmond Men's Chorus rehearses in one of the activity room at one of the huge assisted living facilities. Anytime, I've dropped by, I've always been impressed with the layout and amenities. Heck, they even have four separate dining "experiences", including a full sit-down restaurant as well as a buffet and snack bar.
DR Jose - my mom's new apartment is bigger than any of the ones Richard and I have rented in NYC. She's "opting out" of the dining plan and will continue to provide her own meals. Her exact words were, "If I had to eat every meal in that dining room I'd gag."
Here is a link to a Facebook photo album I created last night:

DR Ginny, my sister in law's father has just made the same decision, at least for part of the the year. He'll be in an independent living apartment in my home town for the winter months then go back to his house in the summer...unless he decides to stay. He also made the decision to do it.
It's a big relief for my sil, too.
Hope your mother enjoys it. There are some really good assisted and independent living places now days
-
My MIL couldn't wait to get to The Home. My mother refused to go to one.
We are convinced that Richard's mother's move extended her life significantly.
-
DR Cillaliz - your sister-in-law should be pleased. My mother's move is just from a patio home to an apartment in the complex where she's lived for 10 years now. She knows a lot of people who already live in the building, so the move will be very smooth.
-
I love It's A Wonderful Life. They show it free here at the Orpheum every year. I've never gone to see it on the big screen. I do watch it on TV every year. I don't find it depressing, I love the idea of how we all set a chain of events in motion and how the world would truly be different if each of us hadn't been born.

It's great that she already knows people in the building. I would think that not knowing anyone would be a lot scarier and a lot more difficult

NO STRESS SHIPPING VIBES TO BK

DR Ginny, your mom's new studio looks bigger then my whole house.
-
Frankly, I am looking forward to moving into a independent living place.
-
You already ARE in an independent living place, MBarnum. It' called a house.
-
Today I baked Ginger Snaps from the ready made dough at teh store. Not as good as home made. I also made the sour cream cookies DR Jane posted. I like them and think I will like them even more when I haven't already eaten a bunch of cookie dough when I taste them ;)

Wow, just turned on the news and everything is still cancelled. I actually thought we could have gone to work at noon and just decided not to. Now I'm thinking that it would have been a bad situation if we had tried. Who knew

It is an odd commercial, but funny (though Christopher Fitzgerald sounds like he was about to break into "The Transylvania Mania" when he interupted Kate and Cheyenne.)
-
I also enjoy IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. I know I grew up being aware of it but I really don't really remember watching it until I was in high school. And then, once we had cable installed, it was kind of fun channel-hopping on Christmas Eve and finding the movie playing at several different points.
The one thing I always wondered about: why does Mary wind up as an "old maid"? Wouldn't she have married Sam Wainwright?
-
I gotta tell you.
-
Just sent out e-invites for the Christmas Eve Do - if any of our dear readers will be in town, let me know so I can add you to the list.
-
Thank you for your nice comments about my mom's home-to-be, DRs George and MBarnum. I told her I'd move in if she decided she didn't want it!
-
My favorite part is the horror when he finds out Mary is a librarian.

Naw, if things were good with Sam Wainwright, she wouldn't have ended up with George
-
WONDERFUL LIFE SPOILERS!!!!!
But Sam Wainwright really is the hero of the movie...he's the one who bails George out at the end...lol which kind of makes me wonder if George didn't do Sam a favor by marrying Mary.

Speaking of "It's a Wonderful Life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_a_Wonderful_Life)," I did a little searching and found that it was based on an unpublished short story called, The Greatest Gift (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Greatest_Gift_(story)). Click HERE (http://www.all-story.com/issues.cgi?action=show_story&story_id=132) to read it. It's quite different from what the movie ended up being.
-
i'm watching "talk of the town" with cary grant, ronald colman, jean arthur & edgar buchanan. they all have distinctive voices.
-
Thanks, DR DAW!
-
Thanks for the comments on the photos. I've had the data card in my camera for weeks, and finally sat down today and forced myself to do all the technical stuff you have to do with them.
-
The Finian's Rainbow commercial kind of looks like it's computer generated.....whew.
Sorry for you USPS woes, MR BK.....most distressing.
-
Page Seven stylish and ladylike Allison Hayes pose dance. ;D

This photo was rejected for publication in 1956.

My dad would have said that is not a ladylike pose.
-
Finished addressing UPS forms for tomorrow, and am putting together the boxes for the bigger shipments so that everything is ready for when Cason arrives. I may fill out the bigger customs forms tonight, which will put us ahead of the game, and while I'm putting all the stuff on the loading dock tomorrow (at the USPS), Cason can get in line with the three or four packages I'll have to send global priority.
-
My dad would have said that is not a ladylike pose.
I think he would have been correct.
-
Suffering through Kris Allen until we can find out who is leaving on SYTYCD. I have a feeling that a really poorly choreographed number last night is the culprit for two of those in danger tonight.
Almost time for GLEE!!!!
-
Get in line!!
-
Busy day. I'm just dropping in for a few moments to say HI.
If you don't already have it, Borders now has PLANET EARTH (standard and blu-ray) for 50% off - I picked up the blu-ray today.
I was a bookseller again today- it's a great job to have during the holiday season.
A QUESTION FOR BK:
Will there be a blu-ray of THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL?
-
Very foggy here and eerily atmospheric.
I feel like I should bound about smoking a pipe or something.
-
Wow - I would have kept the other girl, but I can live with the guy who left on SYTYCD....although both of those who left were terrific!
-
Very foggy here and eerily atmospheric.
I feel like I should bound about smoking a pipe or something.
Or playing a violin?
-
Almost time for GLEE!!!!
I have to record it. Tonight, I'm going to see a local production of Plaid Tidings (http://www.capitalplayhouse.com/). They were supposed to Annie in this time slot, but the rights got pulled because of a major tour that's coming too close to the area. They had actually been rehearsing for a couple of weeks when they were told to stop!
Since Plaid Tidings only has four people in the cast, I guess it was an easy show to try and put together quickly. They're going to do Annie in the spring, instead of Into the Woods. I'd rather see Into the Woods, but I would assume that since they'd started rehearsal...and started paying the actors...that they would honor the contracts, just later in the season. That sucks losing out on a paid gig at this time of the year. :-\

Unless Mr. Haggard gives me the CRI, no, no Blu-Ray of Nudie. I won't do it off the DVD master - that said, I do have a newer print and if that went through some scratch removal (they're very light), it has pretty decent color that I can fix in the telecine room, and that might be good enough. I was supposed to buy the CRI about a year after the DVD came out and I was trying to get the money together when Haggard got it. He isn't talking to me because apparently he was offended by something in the documentary. Too bad.
-
Still, I may talk to Image Entertainment and see what they think of the print I have.
-
Enjoy Plaid Tidings, George. I got to play the Christmas bells once.

BK, have you ever thought about re-releasing the CD on its own? Would that be possible or just too expensive or do you have any interest?

It all depends on how you define the word "lady."

Until later!

Another film related question
Are there really film collectors who really have copies of "lost films" or uncut versions like Garland's A Star Is Born?
I know this was the basis for your last book, but do they exist still after all these years?
-
only 25 minutes till i can take a pain pill, too soon to take some tylenol. PT went well today. i like the therapist and have confidence in him to manipulate my arm. i return on friday. the more he can manipulate it the more movement i'll have down the road.
-
i'm falling asleep.......'night
-
I had a very busy evening trying to finish everything to be back on the schedule I had set for myself for getting through this huge box set of films.
I began by finishing the boinus features for YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. I found it very funny that one of the bonus features done for Blu-ray was filled with comments from Mel Brooks. An older documentary on the making of the film had many important people talking about its production EXCEPT Mel Brooks.
-
Pain pill vibes for DR JANE.
GLEE was most excellent tonight with Amber Riley and Lea Michelle doing great solo songs.
-
Page Eight Batman Facebook Dance. ;D
-
It's 20 degrees and falling here.....light snow. I guess it is December.
-
Tonight I am going to watch LA DOLCE VITA and 8 1/2........
-
I am about to have dinner...two wieners and a banana...can't decide what to watch...an episode of THE BARBARA STANWYCK SHOW or more cigarette commercials.
-
I then immediately watched SILENT MOVIE. It still has very funny portions, and the Burt Reynolds, Anne Bancroft, Marcel Marceau, and Paul Newman sequences work very well. James Caan and Liza Minnelli were completely wasted in slapstick sketches that just didn't work.
And it was sweet of Mel to offer old idols of his like Harry Ritz and Charlie Callas walk-ons, but they weren't funny (at least to me, they weren't.)
And too many "fag" jokes (Dody Goodman notwithstanding).
-
I watched the SILENT MOVIE bonus features. Far fewer than the bonus material on YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, so I was able to finish before GLEE started.
-
I had time to finish skimming through yesterday's ATWT. Luke was on, but really just a sidelines player.
-
I skimmed through today's OLTL. Fish was on doing his interviews with folks who were part of the gay bashing storyline. Neither Kyle nor Nick were there today.
-
Then I watched the fall finale of GLEE. Very enjoyable episode with excellent numbers (I enjoyed every single one of them), and some good dramatic scenes, too.
It's going to be a LONG time until the show returns in April.
-

It will look even better after it's painted and recarpeted and they replace the bathroom door. And it will look really great when my mom decorates it with her special flair.

DR Jane - PT was DH Richard's favorite part of both his shoulder surgeries. He was brave and diligent about doing the exercises and credits them with his full recovery. Take your pain meds, grit your teeth, and hang in there!

What is a CRI?
The internegative made from the camera neg - it is the interneg from which prints are made. And yes, there are collectors who have lost films - if it weren't for them stuff would STILL be lost.
-
After I wrote the post about Haggard and the Nudie interneg, I picked up the phone and called him and for the first time is six years he answered. We talked through why he was upset, we made peace with it, and he agreed to sell me the interneg and the five prints that came with it. So, in a couple of weeks all that stuff will be on its way. While I can't say anything until we actually put up the interneg and see its condition, if we're able to go from that I would say the quality difference will be astonishing. I'm very excited and I'll be calling Image Entertainment to see if they'd like to do it. I'll I'll ask from them is that they reimburse me for what I'll be paying for the interneg - for them it's not that much and it will serve as just a little advance. So, that was very good news.
-
Now I'm on the phone or trying to be on the phone with a supervisor from the Kritzerland webhosting place - they are so screwing up our site it's not even funny. Clearly their servers were hacked and they're trying to fix it but they won't admit it (the supervisor I talked to yesterday said they cannot admit anything, but when I told him what I thought it was clear he was telling me that's what it was). My webguy cannot access the site at all from any computer in his house - that's completely weird. I actually haven't had a problem accessing it, but a few others have had sporadic problems. Meanwhile, Children's Hour is sold out but he can't get in to put that info on the site. Not good. The supervisor finally answered so we're discussing our options right now.
-
Good news about TFNM!!! Hope the website gets straightened out very quickly!
-
Oy! I just looked at the time. I need to get some sleep. Tomorrow I actually have to go to work.
-
Good Evening!
Tonight I had some "Bubur Cha Cha" and "Pulut Hitam". Needless, to say, they made me very happy.
::)
-
What's becoming somewhat clear is that while their servers are having sporadic problems that is not what is causing my webguy's problem. They had him do a test and according to the result of that test something seems to be awry with his "local host" - when he tries to go to the site he's not even hitting his isp address, it's timing out before that, which means it's a problem with his router or "local host" - that makes sense because he's having the same problem on ALL the computers in his house, when I, for example, have never had a problem getting on our site. So, he may have to bring the files here and put the sold out sign on from here. Of course, he had a nine o'clock meeting somewhere and isn't picking up his phone, and if he's not home by midnight he won't be able to talk to the supervisor I spoke with, who can help him solve the problem.
-
That's VERY good news about "The First Nudie Musical!" I'd buy that on Blu-ray...and I just found out that my sister's boyfriend is getting my sister a Blu-ray player for Christmas! I could watch it there!
