Director James Cameron's 3-D film about an earthling whose avatar travels to a distant moon restores a sense of wonder to the moviegoing experience that has been missing for too long.
By Kenneth Turan FILM CRITIC
Think of "Avatar" as "The Jazz Singer" of 3-D filmmaking. Think of it as the most expensive and accomplished Saturday matinee movie ever made. Think of it as the ultimate James Cameron production.
Whatever way you choose to look at it, "Avatar's" shock and awe demand to be seen. You've never experienced anything like it, and neither has anyone else.
...
That’s a lot of hype to measure up to.

I hope DR MattH has some arcane grammar rule that makes that sentence acceptable.

Good morning, all! Today I have the McGlinnventory, followed by the NYPL. I'd like to learn more about Otto Langey, Victor Herbert's chief musical assistant from 1893-1910, and he is a shadowy figure I'm not learning much about. For the publisher Boosey & Hawkes he wrote a set of method books for every instrument under the sun, and I figure at some point someone must have written somethng about him in a newspaper or an edition of the Grove Encyclopedia. So, back to the NYPL.
That will be followed by a stop to the pharmacy to drop off the new prescriptions from yesterday and pick up some meds. I think tonight I need to begin wrapping gifts if I want to get things to Ohio into the 2nd day Fed Ex by Monday morning.

TOD:
With our move and settling into life in Austin, there has not been a lot of time for theatre this year. In fact, we've only seen three shows...all musicals:
WICKED (National Company)
THE PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE (at the ZACH)
THE EVIL DEAD (Local small theater production)
We enjoyed all three.
-
Since I got laid off in March there hasn't been a lot of theatergoing this year in San Antonio, an hour south of Druxy. But I was given a ticket recently for the tour of "Lion King," a show I would never have seen otherwise. I loved Garth Fagan's movement throughout. Even if the show was meant for kids, there were plenty of visual images and movement to keep my mind stimulated throughout.
The rest of my theater experiences have been limited to cast albums. Favorite release of the year that I have received was the full-length "Allegro."

And the word of the day is: ARROGATE!

Phoenix Theater's Les Miserables and Curtains come to mind.

Thursday morning greetings! Just stopping by quickly before I have to leave for a meeting and some shopping. It's another clear, sunny, cold day here in SW Ohio.
-
TOD - the shows that come to mind quickly are Finain's Rainbow in NYC, Jersey Boys in Chicago, and White Christmas in Cincinnati. Those stand out because, in addition to wonderful productions, we were in great company for all 3 - Hainies/Kimlets for FR, my DN Laura for JB, and my Mom and our DS Rob (and sister-in-law Kathy - a suprise!) for WC.

Good morning!
Colder this morning than the last few mornings, and it doesn't look like it's going to get out of the 40s today, but it's bright and sunny regardless of the air temperature. A very pretty December day.
-
I've only seen a few theatrical shows this year.
I saw the national tour of LEGALLY BLONDE which was silly and fun but hardly outstanding.
Best friend John was in a local production of THE FULL MONTY that had some very good people and some very poor people making for a mediocre experience.
Local productions of THE WOMAN IN BLACK and THE PRODUCERS were so-so at best.
But I didn't really see anything this year that I thought was truly outstanding.
-
I am sorry to say that except for Putnam County Playhouse, I had no theatre going experiences this year. I shall enjoy hearing others choices.
-
I haven't heard the UPS man this morning, so I'm assuming it's yet another day off. From the Warner Archive, I have I LOVE MELVIN set to play. Either ON WITH THE SHOW or THE HOLLYWOOD REVUE OF 1929 will likely follow.
I'd like to get A CHRISTMAS STORY on Blu-ray watched, maybe this evening.

On the TV side, "Glee," "Mad Men," "30 Rock," "Dexter," "True Blood" and "The Good Wife" were among the top nominees. The nominees for best actor in a drama series are Simon Baker for "The Mentalist," Bryan Cranston for "Breaking Bad," Michael C. Hall for "Dexter," Jon Hamm for "Mad Men" and Hugh Laurie for "House."
Nominations for best actress in a drama series went to Patricia Arquette for "Medium," Glenn Close for "Damages," Mariska Hargitay for "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," Holly Hunter for "Saving Grace," Julianna Margulies for "The Good Wife," and Kyra Sedgwick for "The Closer." Because there was a tie, there were six nominees instead of the traditional five nominees in this category.

The only one of those shows that I haven't watched at all is THE GOOD WIFE, and since it's on HD Showcase On Demand, I've been thinking about checking out a few episodes during my days off. We'll see, especially once I finish THE MENTALIST's first season on DVD.

Knú Anti-Aging Tri-Complex is the first cream in the US to include what Hendler and Todd claim is the next beauty breakthrough. The cream has a high concentration of snail secretion (purified, of course!), which has been proven to heal and renew skin, protect from free radicals, environmental pollution and UV radiation.
Don't be scared -- the cream smells nice, sinks right in and has a lovely texture. And no snails are harmed in the process (apparently the secretions are farmed from a snail farm in South America where they slither around out of harm's way).
Maybe DR Laura can concoct a formula with crawdad droppings.

I awoke to a telephonic call that posed a question I really didn't want to answer and, in fact, didn't - the producer who's trying to get the Hofstetter books done as a series (again, I don't take any of this seriously until money crosses my palm or a contract) is so in love with the title character and her voice, she's really petrified of writers going off on their own and losing it or making it less unique. And actually, she should be worrying about that for all the characters. She's asked me to consider writing the first script if it were to happen. I told her I'd have to think about it - I am not that interested, frankly, because I've written it already - she said she could pair me with someone else, but that interests me even less. What I would, in fact, like and think would work best, is if this should ever be lucky enough to go to series or even if it's a pilot or a series of films, make me the executive producer or creative consultant - that way, I can make sure no one is screwing around with the voice of the characters. But I will think about it. I told her all anyone has to do is use the dialogue from the books, but if it's a stand-alone series, who knows if one of the three books would even be used for the first show. I think that's her concern, but we'll meet and talk about it when we see what's happening.

And now I have to call the co-author of the long musical.

I paid a call on Miss Jeanette today. She had called earlier and inquired of my mom whether (1) I had arrived; (2) did I like pecan pie; and (3) did I like chicken and dumplings.
Lordy, lordy, lordy! Yes, yes, yes.
I visited her shortly afterward and delivered her annual 3-lb box of See's candy. Miss Jane (who is physically 64 years old, but mentally 12) was still abed (around 11:30 a.m.). Miss Jeanette, who is roughly 87 years old, was polishing her kitchen countertops (butcher block style). Her yappy little dog, Cooper, was all over me. We had a nice chat, exchanged greetings, and I returned home with pecan pie and a jar of chicken and dumplings.
For lunch: more fried chicken, field peas, fried squash, more corn-tomato casserole and cornbread.
My mom's supposedly resting today, but she's spent all morning in the kitchen...refusing my offers of cooking whatever she has in mind for lunch, etc. Tonight, we'll heat up the chicken and dumplings.
I've finally finished decorating the Christmas tree. It's just the right festive touch to brighten our holidays, I reckon.
On the potentially bad news front: I have a very scratchy throat. It started when I took a calcium table this a.m. It seemed to have gone down sideways. I thought it stuck in my throat for a few seconds as I guzzled water to get it down. Don't know if that's why my throat is now very tender or whether the tablet just irritated an already "infected" site.

Last night I watched 8 episodes of SEA HUNT. In five of them produced in 1958, the female lead character was played by Jan Harrison - even though she played a different character in each show, her hair and makeup was essentially the same.
In one episode she played the wife of a millionaire - played by a curly headed and thin youth named Larry Hagman who looked very nice with lots of curly hair and a swimsuit on the order of underwear briefs. The three episodes produced in 1959 all featured a different lady in a different role - none of whom were an improvement on Jan Harrison.
I would recommend all Larry Hagman fans find this episode - he was even more attractive here than he was in his Tony Nelson days.

The other amusing thing I awoke to was an e-mail from a chap in the UK who asked, with the usual tone, where I had gotten the right to put out The Final Option and from what was our CD mastered - with the very clear snarky inference being that we'd just done it without securing rights. You see, this gentleman is apparently working with the composer's brother and family to issue the score on CD. I wrote him back and enlightened him - that it, like Billion Dollar Brain, with which it's coupled, were licensed from the rights' holders, and it was mastered from tapes in their vaults, just as the earlier FSM release had been. I then dropped a little bombshell on him - I said that if he were intending to release a CD of this score that a) he would have to get the rights from the rights' holders, just as I had, and, b) more importantly, that he could not issue such a CD for three years, per my contract.
He then suddenly got nice. He asked me if I'd give permission so they wouldn't have to wait three years, given that our disc is sold out. I told him it depended on when he wanted to issue it - I will not do that to collectors - we did ours more than nine months after the FSM big box set was issued, and I felt comfortable doing it because it had only been available in a huge pricey set. I told him May or June would be the earliest I'd sign off, just as FSM had to sign off for us to do it.
He wrote back and said, "forgive my naivete, but are you saying I need your permission, FSM's permission AND the lady at the rights' holders' permission (who he named). I said yes to me and the lady, not FSM, who already signed off. But then I wrote him back and said, "you'll have to explain to me that if you know the lady's name and you know who the rights' holders are and that they clearly have the rights to this title, why you e-mailed me in the first place with that slightly accusatory e-mail." I haven't had a response. I then informed the lady of everything - she already doesn't like the guy :) And if I don't feel like signing off, she's perfectly fine waiting the entire three years.

The kitchen TV, M/W, T-Oven and Toaster stopped working (no power in outlets 3,4,and 5)).
Reset all the circuit breakers - no luck.
Had power in outlets 1 & 2 plus the Fridge.
Notice no power in outlet 6 - which seemed strange since a large wall unit containing the double built-in ovens was between outlet 5 and 6.
Disconnected all plug3 from outlets 3 thru 6; reset breakers, no luck!
Slept on it.
Noticed that outlets 3 thru 6 were labelled as GFI protected, but had no reset switch.
Uncovered outlet 7 - separated by the 8-burner built-in cooktop from outlet 6 (and temporarily covered over by pile of baking pans). Discovered that outlet 7 (which is never used) had a GFI reset button - reset outlet 7 - everything now works swell!
Oh the joys of homeownership!

GANJA GOES GOURMET
Any slacker living over his parents' garage can make pot brownies. Gourmet chefs are taking the art of cooking with marijuana to a higher level.
In Denver, a new medical-marijuana shop called Ganja Gourmet serves cannabis-infused specialties such as pizza, hummus and lasagna. Across town in the Mile-High City, a Caribbean restaurant plans to offer classes on how to make multi-course meals with pot in every dish. And in Southern California, a low-budget TV show called "Cannabis Planet" has won fans with a cooking segment showing viewers how to use weed in teriyaki chicken, shrimp capellini and steak sandwiches

Ganja Gourmet's menu includes lasagna ("LaGanja"), "Panama Red Pizza" and an olive tapenade called "ganjanade," along with sweets such as cheesecake, muffins and brownies. Employees wear tie-dyed T-shirts that proclaim, "Our food is so great, you need a license to eat it!!!"
…
The food isn't cheap. A whole pizza sells for $89, and a dozen sweet treats called Almond Horns cost $120.
…
Marijuana chefs put leaves or buds in a food processor and grind the marijuana into green flour. Then they add the flour to oil or butter, cook it slowly for up to a couple of days while the THC binds to the fat, and strain out the green flakes.
The result is "cannabutter," or butter that makes a diner high. Chefs say 2 teaspoons of cannabutter typically contain the amount of THC in an ounce of weed.
The pot-infused oils and butters have a greenish tint and an earthy taste, but chefs say the flavor can easily be masked with garlic or other herbs and spices.

Moving on...

We are back from Macy's. T'was a disappointment. The windows are nothing special and the "Toy Department" is laughable. It's even less than it was two years ago, the last time we went. It is a very small part of the 8th Floor next to Santa Land and literally half of the display is candy!!! The rest is a mix of high end F.A.O. Schwartz type toys and crapola that you could get anywhere. The actors standing outside Santa Land are also a real mix of high quality and bored 20 somethings who need a job. We passed Mrs. Santa who looked wonderful and was very gracious and sweet and not 10 feet away was the most bored "elf" I ever saw. He was about as tall as Will Ferrel (sp) in the movie Elf but with none of the sweetness and excitement of the character. He looked like he would rather be anywhere else but on Macy's 8th Floor directing traffic at Santa Land. Oh, well. Another memory tarnished.
We then walked over to Lord & Taylor's who still have wonderful, wonderful windows. They are beautifully done and even though I'm sure the figures are used year after year they still look gorgeous. There are not as many windows this year. They took the last two and used them for regular displays but it was worth the walk in the cold to see them.
We then took the subway home, had lunch and then went back out to
Tea and Sympathy (http://www.teaandsympathynewyork.com/home.php)
to get our English treats for Christmas. We bought Christmas Crackers for Christmas day dinner with Anthony's relatives. We also bought a Christmas pudding and hard sauce for after Christmas Eve dinner and I bought a box of English candies for Anthony's mum (see how English I've become).
Now we are home for the rest of the day and evening. I'm on the laptop in the living room and Anthony is on the desktop in the bedroom (working on something creative) and we both have mugs of hot chocolate with mini marshmallows and crushed candy canes. I have to go downstairs and check the mail soon.
That's all from Chelsea.

DR Ben - If you feel like braving the crowds and the cold, the windows this year up at Bergdorf's and Saks are quite festive this year.
-
We might do that. We have unlimited Metro cards good until Sunday so we should take advantage of them. We don't usually get them since I walk to work and Anthony doesn't go uptown unless he has an audition. We buy them when we do the bag packing since we are at Equity every day for almost two weeks.

I also like the gingerbread display in the lobby of the Parker Meridien. They're not stellar examples of the craft, but they're fun and for a good cause, City Harvest (http://www.cityharvest.org/events/gingerbread/).

I paid a call on Miss Jeanette today. She had called earlier and inquired of my mom whether (1) I had arrived; (2) did I like pecan pie; and (3) did I like chicken and dumplings.
Lordy, lordy, lordy! Yes, yes, yes.
I visited her shortly afterward and delivered her annual 3-lb box of See's candy. Miss Jane (who is physically 64 years old, but mentally 12) was still abed (around 11:30 a.m.). Miss Jeanette, who is roughly 87 years old, was polishing her kitchen countertops (butcher block style). Her yappy little dog, Cooper, was all over me. We had a nice chat, exchanged greetings, and I returned home with pecan pie and a jar of chicken and dumplings.
For lunch: more fried chicken, field peas, fried squash, more corn-tomato casserole and cornbread.
My mom's supposedly resting today, but she's spent all morning in the kitchen...refusing my offers of cooking whatever she has in mind for lunch, etc. Tonight, we'll heat up the chicken and dumplings.
I've finally finished decorating the Christmas tree. It's just the right festive touch to brighten our holidays, I reckon.
On the potentially bad news front: I have a very scratchy throat. It started when I took a calcium table this a.m. It seemed to have gone down sideways. I thought it stuck in my throat for a few seconds as I guzzled water to get it down. Don't know if that's why my throat is now very tender or whether the tablet just irritated an already "infected" site.
do you have some black licorice, such as Panda brand? the real stuff can be soothing.
i'm truly enjoying your home & food stories. :)

Ah, black licorice can be soothing. Alas, a few years ago, I found out that I'm one of the not-so-rare individuals who's blood pressure is affected by the ingestion of licorice. -And I really used to - and still do - love the real stuff - even the salty kinds. All about moderation.

Last night I watched 8 episodes of SEA HUNT. In five of them produced in 1958, the female lead character was played by Jan Harrison - even though she played a different character in each show, her hair and makeup was essentially the same.
In one episode she played the wife of a millionaire - played by a curly headed and thin youth named Larry Hagman who looked very nice with lots of curly hair and a swimsuit on the order of underwear briefs. The three episodes produced in 1959 all featured a different lady in a different role - none of whom were an improvement on Jan Harrison.
I would recommend all Larry Hagman fans find this episode - he was even more attractive here than he was in his Tony Nelson days.
i must differ about hagman, what was the deal with his hair? did he wear a toupee later or have a better hairstyle? i think he was cuter in thr I DREAM.... series.
in the episode we watched last night jan harrison was a brunette & wore a different style bathing suit ;)
-
Thanks for the Woo Hoo story link, DR JOSE.
Shocking link otherwise. Whew!
-
Of course DR MBARNUM I would enjoy seeing more SEA HUNT episodes whether they feature Jan or not.
Leo Lerman reported that Noel Coward said of Mary Martin: The only two grown up things about her are her ego and her son.
-
i'm glad our dr elmore is safe.
-
DR JANE - I think he wore a toupee later - although I am not certain he was wearing it during the JEANNE days. Since he was playing an Air Force officer, he probably had to wear his hair shorter, although probably not regulation.
I thought the long curly hair was most flattering, but then not having any hair myself, it may be just an aberration.

Watched one of the most enjoyable MENTALIST episodes from season one: the one in which Patrick takes $100 to a casino and by the end of the episode, has won about half a million dollars or so. Buys gifts for the team and then gives a bunch to charity and to one particular lady in need.

When I got in from lunch, I watched another Warner Archive DVD: I LOVE MELVIN. It is NOT one of their stellar releases. The print it's taken from isn't in the best of shape, and there are interlaced artifacts throughout. What a shame. I didn't take the time to take my laserdisc off the shelf, but I'm guessing it's actually better quality. If I get some time tonight, I'll see if it was. The Technicolor should have looked much better, and sharpness wasn't anything great either.
-
Next, I skimmed through today's two soaps: OLTL and ATWT. Nothing of interest to me on either one of them. Disappointing.
-
Page Six Dance!!!
-
Then I watched BETTER OFF TED from Tuesday night. There were some great gags, and in general I enjoyed the nutty episode.
-
With nothing on tonight that I'll watch "live," I'll likely see A CHRISTMAS STORY tonight and then one of the Warner Archive discs. I'll look to see one that's not too long. HOLLYWOOD REVUE is too long. I'll check out ON WITH THE SHOW, and I might have to jump back to the Al Jolson films and do the next one of those: BIG BOY.

what hair he had was thick and beautiful, i was shocked to see how much it was receding. he could have had a more flattering haircut.

I have not seen this week's episode of the GOOD WIFE yet. But i am still really liking this show. DR MattH, i can't say for sure if you would like it. But i think you would.

I think Avatar looks interesting. I look forward to seeing it.
I actually want to see this, as well...especially in 3-D!

Well, he didn't pick up his phones. However, I'm guessing he settled in for a nap after his long day at the McGlinnventory.

And as for "Avatar"....
I think I'll be going to the 10:30 AM IMAX 3-D showing tomorrow morning. By going before Noon, it will only cost $12 instead of $20. We shall see.

Jennifer Jones Has Died.
i read that and was surprised i did not recall she was married to simon norton, until i saw the dates of their marriage. one of my parent's best friend was norton simon's cousin. i think i would have heard mention of his famous wife had they been married when i was younger.

Well, I thought I was in for the afternoon/evening, but now that I've unpacked my groceries and my Target bags, I need to go back to Kroger. The 8-pack of AA batteries that I paid for is nowhere to be found. Bye for now!

Oh wow. I watched the finale of DEXTER and thankfully was unspoiled.
I won't say anything in case there is anybody who will watch it later. But the show was really good!

Back from Kroger - they'd found the unbagged batteries just after I left and had them set aside for me.
Otherwise, my shopping trip there earlier was delightful. I visited with 3 friends who were also shopping and found a Starbucks double-wall insulated cold drink tumbler with a lid and candy cane straw. They are becoming quite scarce and that's what I wanted to buy with the gift card that my sister sent me for my birthday.

Even with the additions to the script that I am sure were NOT granted permission by Martin Sherman. I thought that they were wrong and would have complained to the author if I knew how to contact him.
Actually, Michael, you should probably have complained to to the publishing company that handles that show (Samuel French?). That information must be listed on all posters and programs. Of course, if the production is now closed, all they could do is send a letter of complaint to the theater company.

JMK, I think Image has been in impending bankruptcy for years. I'm going to talk to them - if they can't do it, I have no doubt there are others who can - or I can just put it out on Kritzerland, which would probably be the best scenario, although distribution would be difficult.

And that's how many husbands, Miss Taylor?
Although, according to the DR MBarnum's response, it looks like he "literally" wants to be "Mr. Brooke Adams". ;)
I don't know what you mean?
-
Phoenix Theater's Les Miserables and Curtains come to mind.
Laura, have you ever seen any of the shows at the Arizona Broadway Theatre?
-
I did something really stupid - when I came home earlier I noticed that for some reason my parking lights were on, so I turned the knob and shut them off - only I turned the knob the wrong way and, in fact, turned ON my headlights. About forty minutes later someone knocked on my door and told me the lights were on. I knew I was in trouble when my electronic lock opener wouldn't open the car - sure enough, forty minutes later, dead battery. Happily, the Auto Club was here in ten minutes, charged it, I took a twenty minute drive and all seems to be well. They now have these nifty portable battery jumpers - I think it's just one cable and I may go purchase one and keep it in the trunk.
-
Now it's time to proof part one of the master of our second release for next week.
-
JRand, I take it you must have just watched SANTA IN ANIMAL LAND. LOL!
-
Beware, this may frighten the kiddies!
(but I secretly love it!)

It seems likely that La Manse is not in our future. I'm disappointed but not distraught.
-
If you've ever wondered what goes on backstage right before the curtain goes up on the current revival of South Pacific, well...
5 Till Curtain (http://www.youtube.com/5tillcurtain/)
"A backstage webisode series filmed live from the dressing room of E (Eric Anderson) and Croix (Christian Delcroix) of Broadway's "South Pacific," every Wednesday through Saturday night from the '5 till curtain' call to 'places.'"
Christian Delcroix is a little cutey!

That kinda scared me, MBarnum.
-
I'm sorry about La Manse, JMK, but I do think the things they were asking you to do were financially dangerous.
-
Der Brucer thanks for the recipe, looks good
-
jmk, i'm sorry but think it is probably for the best.
-
Guess who?
(http://www.walnutstreettheatre.org/season/images/enlarge/oliver01.jpg)
I guess after spending years getting into make-up to play The Phantom, Hugh must not mind the time it takes to get into his Fagin get-up at Walnut Street (http://www.walnutstreettheatre.org/season/oliver.php).
Who is it?
-
DR JMK, Sorry like the others, but it was sounding strange and I'm sure there will be an even better place
-
Giving a second listen to the master - it sounds great - one little nitpicky thing in the first thirty seconds, otherwise this portion of it (the first half) is fine.
-
This has been a really tiring week. Probably why it's flying by. I've been working through lunch and taking work home every night this week. I'm no where near caught up and still have to get ready for Christmas and start packing the office. Looks like the carpet won't be done until New Year's Eve day and the movers come on the 4th of January, so I'll be moving boxes all that weekend.
-
Oh, and I have 4 hearings between Christmas and New Years....
-
And 3 hearings next week. Ho Ho Ho

I guess I am still trying to figure out what role Tony Shalhoub would play in LEND ME A TENOR.

No wonder I haven't gotten the wreath on the door yet! I'm not really complaining. There are alot of local lawyers without much work to do....so bring it on....but I'm still tired.

Congrats to BK, Kritzerland, the WSMA and DR elmore for making TheatreMania.com's 12 CDs of Christmas (http://www.theatermania.com/new-york/news/12-2009/the-12-cds-of-christmas_23409.html)!!
Great news! Congrats, BK!

Immigration and criminal, DR Laura. Lots of immigration consults lately..comprehensive immgration reform was proposed in the House on Tuesday. Of course it hasn't been covered on English language television, but it's all over the Spanish language media and we've sent info out to our new mailing list. People have lots of questions, but many are waiting to see what if anything passes.
I've gotten a number of criminal cases lately. The gang thing I was reading last night, a post conviction on a rape case and a brand new sexual abuse case that may go to trial.
It seems to go in waves. I'll get a lot of criminal and just a few new immigration then a lot of immigration and not much criminal. So far it's a pretty good balance.
-
Well, I had another super-long day chatting up customers. I sometimes am finding it hard to disengage once engaged in conversation. BUT, I heard from the cashiers' end of things that I managed to sell THREE copies of one of our 'make' items: THE PIANO TEACHER.

DR JMK - Ah, well... Que sera sera...
*Do you happen to know if someone else placed a better offer on the table? -An offer that may end up falling through at the last minute? ;)

LOL, actually it's the ugly cases that are the most interesting and most challenging. The worst of the three cases is the one where the client has already been convicted. He's alleging his lawyer was ineffective. It involves a lot of reviewing transcripts research and writing. His codefendant won his challenge so it may happen here too. If we win he gets a new trial

Ok, off to read transcripts.....

Tony Shalhoub will be playing Sanders; Anthony LaPaglia will be playing Tito Merelli, and Mrs. Tony Shalhoub - the real Mrs. Tony Shalhoub - has been cast as Julia. *I'm really looking forward to Jan Maxwell as Maria!

And speaking of Stanley Tucci..
I thought I had noticed something during Stanley Tucci's segment on "The View" today, and, well, I guess I did:

No, we're the accepted offer. It has to do with the bank not responding to our "as is" offer in a timely fashion. It may still work out, but chances are very slim.

Watching a motion picture on Blu and Ray. It's amazing to watch a 1996 "high-tech" up to the minute movie and see just how dated all that high-tech stuff looks thirteen years later.

DR Edi - give my regards to Broadway! I'm so glad you'll get to see Finian's Rainbow!
-
DR JMK - sorry about the real estate travails.
-
And the NY Times hates Nine. I didn't hate it, but I sure didn't like it.
-
I have not been sitting here like so much fish all evening. I have been in the kitchen assembling a beautiful lasagna that we'll bake for dinner tomorrow evening. My niece is here from Illinois to help Gram with some moving prep and I'm cooking for them. After dinner, we'll probably take a ride around town to ooh and ahh over Christmas lights.
-

Well... As of last week, I no longer have to open my windows. The handy-man finally adjusted the timer and the thermostat.
-
DR edisaurus - Also remember that your are right down the street from Petrossian - great croissants! There's also a wonderful espresso stand, Cafe Zibetto over on 57th & 6th, as well as Fika on 58th between 5th & 6th Aves.
-
It has really been cold here today. After so many days of warm weather this month, I guess it's just seeming colder than usual today.
-
I began my evening watching A CHRISTMAS STORY on Blu-ray. It's always such a joy to revisit this movie. It always leaves me feeling so upbeat.
-
And I watched the 20th anniversary bonus feature that had four of the boys from the film - now grown up naturally - answering a series of questions about making the film and other memories of CHristmases.
-
Then I watched ON WITH THE SHOW. I had never seen this before: a curious combination of backstage melodrama and romance and on stage numbers. Ethel Waters sings two songs in the movie, both show stoppers and the best things in the movie by far. Of course, the Technicolor originals are long gone, but it played OK in B&W, and it actually is in better shape than SALLY was that I watched last night.
-
Feeling nostalgic, I pulled out my old show tape of BABY and watched some of the numbers. I wish I had been able to see the Broadway production.

Oh, about that 1933 ALICE IN WONDERLAND that's coming out next year on DVD, I saw it decades ago (several times) and while it's a valiant effort at telling the story, I found it fairly plodding and dull. I can't wait to see it again, however. Maybe it'll seem more impressive now.
-
And now I'm REALLY going!
;D
-
It seems likely that La Manse is not in our future. I'm disappointed but not distraught.
I'm sorry about that. Maybe the bank will become a little easier to deal with if they see you are going to walk away and they'll loose the sale.

Good luck with all the new cases and the office move, Cilla. You have a very busy holiday season!

I'm catching a cab at 5 on Sat. but I will be back on New Year's Eve and I will be in Times Square at midnight. Since I have a meeting to show our rough cut to the producer on the 3rd (going home the 5th) , I figured I come up a few days early to work with Peter but also to see friends (hopefully some HHWers!) and maybe a show or two. I watch the countdown every year and always wish I could be in Times Square for that, just once in my life, so this will be the year!

DR MBarnum's SANTA IN ANIMAL LAND reminds me of the Christmas parties my dad would take my sister and I to at the P.A.C.C. The party would start with about an hour's worth of Christmas cartoons and films which we children would have to
endure enjoy before we got to go up to visit Santa and get our presents.

Finished with my viewing for the evening and am listening to one of the new Varese limited editions - I don't really consider it a Varese title, more of a Nick Redman title - a combo Amfitheatrof and Friedhofer CD - very nice.
-
And in a little while I'll give a final listen to our new CD master and hopefully that can be on its way tomorrow with the master of the other release that comes with it.

Blurbs are written, audio samples are sent.

And since we've decided to announce on Monday morning, I'll announce here tomorrow at midnight, I think.

As mentioned, one of the titles will be a budget-priced CD as my way of saying thanks to everyone for giving Kritzerland such a wonderful year. That one will only cost 12.98 and, of course, if both are ordered you only pay one shipping charge.

Is it really only ten-twenty? Maybe I'll take a nice hot shower - and while I'm at it, I don't believe anyone has said: Cranberries.
