Are you using Internet Explorer 8? If so, you should just need Windows Media Player. If you're using Firefox it does say you need QuickTime. Even though it's an Apple product it works on a PC but I wouldn't bother downloading it. It's a pain in the ass (excuse my French) to download, set up and use (my humble opinion, if you like QuickTime fine, but I don't). It contributes to crashes on my system. I've stopped using it. I don't know why Firefox would try to use Quicktime to play a file.

If you use the Chrome browser the music will play automatically without any add-ons.

Good morning, all! Yep, 65 years ago, I was born around 4:30am EST. I remember nothing about it; my first memories are from the age of two.

Yesterday, I had a very giod phone conversation with the Man From Philadelphia that cleared the air and made me quite happy. I can plan my trip to the Library of Congress, now that I know all is good.

I have very few plans today: a Toyland attempt to find the computer routing problem so Curtis can get things righted, a meeting about the Appalachian Christmas project, and a day to myself. My official birthday gathering is postponed to Wednesday night, so this will be a quiet day.

BK, I cannot believe you've never read ACT ONE! It was one of my favorite bios in high school and college, during which times I must have read it three or four times. In 1985, when I was working on JUBILEE, I read it again. It's filled with half-truths, but probably with no more than any other autobiography, but it's well writtyen with a fantastic, affectionate portrait of George S Kaufman. I think it's still one of the best theatre bographies ever written.

BK,

I agree with you that ACT ONE is not a good picture, though I think that Robards captured George S. Kaufman quite well.

On the other hand, I recall that when I first saw it (in a theater) way back when, the story did inspire as a wannabe writer.  It motivated me, before I was even in the business, to not give up the dream.

I read Moss Hart's ACT ONE about twenty years ago.  I did like it though it's written in that folksy/jokey 50's/60's every-third-paragraph-has-a-punchline-that-makes-you-laugh-or-cry style.

The movie is one of George Hamilton's worst films.

I read ACT ONE in a 'digest' version in a book I got from the Book of the Month Club in the 1960's.

I liked the book, even though at that age I didn't know many of the names that Hart was writing about....the film is so bad....George Hamilton is wrong as Hart.....and Robards' performance as Kaufman is inexplicable to me.....

And yes, I blame Mr Schary for the failure of the piece.

What a great day so far! I've hopefully solved the router problems with the copiers and computer ar Toyland for Curtis to finish correcting, I've had a good meeting with DJ about the Appalachian Christmas project, and we know what needs to be rewritten and rearranged and who we can keep from the workshop and who needs to be recast. Between emails, the best site on the internet - HHW! - and Facebook, I'm walowing in birthday good will from lots of friends and acquaintances, so I have absolutely no. Complaints. Today. At. All.

Just read that 1950s B movie actress Norma Eberhardt passed away after suffering a stroke this weekend.

She was absolutly wonderful in her starring roles in LIVE FAST, DIE YOUNG and RETURN OF DRACULA. She was scheduled to be a guest at a show I plan to attend in NY next year. I was looking foward to meeting her. :-[

What a great day so far! I've hopefully solved the router problems with the copiers and computer ar Toyland for Curtis to finish correcting, I've had a good meeting with DJ about the Appalachian Christmas project, and we know what needs to be rewritten and rearranged and who we can keep from the workshop and who needs to be recast. Between emails, the best site on the internet - HHW! - and Facebook, I'm walowing in birthday good will from lots of friends and acquaintances, so I have absolutely no. Complaints. Today. At. All.

Did you know that "pogue" is an Irish term for "kiss?" There a couplet "Give us a pogue then, you sly little rogue, then" in the Opening to Act Two of EILEEN.

I love you all! You love us all? (a BOY FRIEND reference)

To be precise "pogue" is Gaelic for kiss...and, yes, I did know it...the band The Pogue were actually called Pogue Ma Hone, I believe, which means kiss my arse and  Irish playwright Dion Boucicault wrote a play called Anna Na Pogue which translates as Anna Will Not Kiss.

Good morning, all! Yep, 65 years ago, I was born around 4:30am EST. I remember nothing about it; my first memories are from the age of two.

Yesterday, I had a very giod phone conversation with the Man From Philadelphia that cleared the air and made me quite happy. I can plan my trip to the Library of Congress, now that I know all is good.

I have very few plans today: a Toyland attempt to find the computer routing problem so Curtis can get things righted, a meeting about the Appalachian Christmas project, and a day to myself. My official birthday gathering is postponed to Wednesday night, so this will be a quiet day.

BK, I cannot believe you've never read ACT ONE! It was one of my favorite bios in high school and college, during which times I must have read it three or four times. In 1985, when I was working on JUBILEE, I read it again. It's filled with half-truths, but probably with no more than any other autobiography, but it's well writtyen with a fantastic, affectionate portrait of George S Kaufman. I think it's still one of the best theatre bographies ever written.

I also enjoyed the book.

In honor of your birthday I had a nice day.  First I splurged on hot chocolate while Keith & Penny enjoyed their coffee.  The four of us, Sherlock included of course, went for a short hike.  Penny then continued down I-5 to spend the night with her nephew.  After dropping Sherlock off back home I had an exceptionally good work out at the gym.

My flight is only an hour.  After which I will settle into my hotel, then take a brief walk to the arch and the Lewis and Clark Westward Expansion Museum (or whatever they call it).  I haven't decided if I'm going up in the arch yet, but I'll definitely go to the museum.  After that, I'm going to treat myself to a nice dinner and get ready for my argument tomorrow.  I have some additional research to do, but I'm not sure it's going to get me anywhere.   The thing I don't like about appellate arguments is they don't give you any advanced warning about what they are interested in knowing about.  So, you sometimes get taken by surprise. I really don't think that's going to happen here

I wasn't sure I wanted to go up in the arch, but as soon as I got here, I walked over, went down into the visitor center and knew I was going to do it.   You're in a little pod with 4 other people for the climb up.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, then you get to the top and you can feel it move a little.  It made me a bit dizzy, actually, but hey, I've been to the top of the arch!

There is a satiriacal web site called Christwire, that spoofs a lot of the hardcore religiious sites.  Unfortunately, judging from several of the comments on the site, a large number of people who come to this site are unaware that it is meant to be a parody.  One of their more recent satires is the article, "IS MY HUSBAND GAY."  I thought it was pretty funny

TOD: I can't believe no one has included  Song of Norway on their best biopic list.  ;D

It's a toss up between that and THE GREAT WALTZ remake!

Or what about "Words and Music," about Lorenz Hart?? ;)

Good Evening!

Well... After taking care of a few of my own errands, I headed into DC to pick up Kyle, a.k.a. "Dream Curly", and then we headed back out to Virginia to spend a couple of hours in civilization - a.k.a. Tysons Corner Mall(s). We started at Tysons Galleria (http://www.tysonsgalleria.com/) (a.k.a. Tysons II), and then headed across the "street" to Tysons Corner Center (http://www.shoptysons.com/) (a.k.a. Tysons I).

I bought a shirt. He bought a pair of shoes. And we both did a lot of window-shopping. And laughing. It really was a nice way to spend the day.

I cannot hear the music-  my computer says I need additional plug ins to access all the media  when I clicked on download plugins it said I neede an Apple product and cine I am a PC....

Are you using Internet Explorer 8? If so, you should just need Windows Media Player. If you're using Firefox it does say you need QuickTime. Even though it's an Apple product it works on a PC but I wouldn't bother downloading it. It's a pain in the ass (excuse my French) to download, set up and use (my humble opinion, if you like QuickTime fine, but I don't). It contributes to crashes on my system. I've stopped using it. I don't know why Firefox would try to use Quicktime to play a file.

If you use the Chrome browser the music will play automatically without any add-ons.

Thanks Ben, we use Firefox

Good morning, all! Yep, 65 years ago, I was born around 4:30am EST. I remember nothing about it; my first memories are from the age of two.

Yesterday, I had a very giod phone conversation with the Man From Philadelphia that cleared the air and made me quite happy. I can plan my trip to the Library of Congress, now that I know all is good.

I have very few plans today: a Toyland attempt to find the computer routing problem so Curtis can get things righted, a meeting about the Appalachian Christmas project, and a day to myself. My official birthday gathering is postponed to Wednesday night, so this will be a quiet day.

BK, I cannot believe you've never read ACT ONE! It was one of my favorite bios in high school and college, during which times I must have read it three or four times. In 1985, when I was working on JUBILEE, I read it again. It's filled with half-truths, but probably with no more than any other autobiography, but it's well writtyen with a fantastic, affectionate portrait of George S Kaufman. I think it's still one of the best theatre bographies ever written.

 I must pull out my copy and re read it

BTW, has anyone here watched SHERLOCK, the (relatively) new Sherlock Holmes series, which I think is from the BBC? It's VERY contemporary, but I found it quite clever and fun.

DR Jeanne - I love "Sherlock" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t4pgh)! If you get the DVDs, be sure to watch the extras about the making-of the series.

I received my Space Children/Colossus of New York cd today and will listen to it soon.....the liner notes are not enjoyable the way the Kritzerland Notes are.......  Not that they are not complete and informative.....but they seem to have no point of view....it's like reading the Wikipedia Page for the movies.

But those are the kind of notes that the FANactics crave.  You'd be shocked how many times people have ragged on my notes, but I will never ever change the way I write them because point of view is everything.  I don't ever need to do a track by track analysis where someone tells you what you're listening to - "The floaty flutes enter on bar two, and on bar six there is an ostinato in the double basses while the tuba makes itself known."

In honor of your birthday I had a nice day.  First I splurged on hot chocolate while Keith & Penny enjoyed their coffee.  The four of us, Sherlock included of course, went for a short hike.  Penny then continued down I-5 to spend the night with her nephew.  After dropping Sherlock off back home I had an exceptionally good work out at the gym.

DR Jane - It sounds like you had a very nice day today. :)

I'm back from a really long day.  I of course did the four-mile jog, then had to skeedaddle to see the reading of Sleepless in Seattle.  I'm not going to write about it in the notes, but I can say here in the privacy of our discussion board that it was really not good.  These people think if they can get a "branded" title that they're home free.  Well, no, that's not the way it works and I'm not sure how many flops have to happen before these writers along with the film studios stop shoving these movie adaptations down our collective throats.  The songs were boring as can be, all in the Jason Robert Brown or classic Broadway style but without any uniqueness - and some of the shoddiest lyrics I've ever heard, filled with near rhymes and banal thoughts.  When Barry Pearl gets the only laughs in the show (he's great - but it tells you something that he's basically got five minutes of stage time - and his laughs are directly out of the film) you know you're in trouble.  The first act ran under forty minutes and seemed like ninety.  The second act ran about thirty-five minutes. 

Some good folks in the cast - Brandi Burkhardt was Meg Ryan, Marissa Jaret Winokur was Rosie O'Donnell, Robert Torti was Tom Hanks (and seemed too old), and my pals Jane Noseworthy and Rebecca Johnson were in it.  My old friend Joel Zwick directed it, and he did a very good job - no staging at all, but he kept the pace up.  I would be shocked if this went any further, although the usual cheerleaders were there whooping it up as much as they could.  However, I know how these things work, and if someone is putting up more than half the dough then the Pasadena Playhouse will produce it.  I've truly had it with these movie adaptations, and when people point out that many classic Broadway shows came from movies, I just point out that it wasn't about "branding (Lord, how I hate that word) - the classic musicals never used the name of the film.  Anna and the King of Siam became The King and I (and one could argue it was based on the book and not the film), Liliom became Carousel (one could argue it was the play and not the film), same with Green Grow The Lilacs (Oklahoma!), and on and on.  You don't really see adaptations of movies that kept their real title until stuff like The Goodbye Girl and that era.  Needless to say, Promises, Promises was not called The Apartment - today, however, it would be.  Off to the couch to sit like so much fish.  I had a bacon cheeseburger for dinner - first food eaten all day - at six-thirty.

I also spent several hours in the editing room fine tuning two episodes and watching the rough cut of a third - very few changes needed there - it's really well cut and really funny.  All I'll do probably, is shorten the set-up scene by a couple of lines and fix a few cut-away shots.  The musical number looks great and we'll probably only make a couple of swap-outs of shots in that.

It was called Levee Mercantile.  They don't make it themselves, at least I don't think they do. The toffee sats manufactured by chocolate chocolate chocolate co. St Louis.  It's toffee. I don't know that it's really the best ever, but it tasted that way today

I am a bit concerned.  I can't find my checkbook.  Now, I may have left it in the car when I moved the stuff in my purse to my back pack, but I really don't think so.  It isn't in my purse, it isn't in the room, it hasn't been turned in at the desk or the restaurant....so....either I lost it at the arch or it's in the car.   Since I was pulling my camera in and out of my purse, I could have dropped it.

Anyway, I emailed my bank and explained.  I wanted to check online to see if anything has been spent but I can't remember my user ID.

Thank you. I miss the liner notes from the George B. Dales of yesteryear with their plot summaries and a jot or tittle of commentary, but I love reading the notes of someone who has thought about the show and knows how to express it. Peter Filichia describing the times he saw "Prettybelle"; your take on the London "Camelot," among so many others.

Vibes for DR Cillaliz. Hope you find your checkbook.

So who do you like so far on DWTS?

I haven't picked my favorite yet. But do not like the new pros (although the best one was Maks' brother).

I don't know why they have to get new pros when they are not using the ones they have (who people know and like). I think the new pros will be the first ones to go.

I really liked Maks and Hope Solo.

I think Kristin/Mark and David/Kym have a lot of potential.

I thought Carson and Anna were a hoot.

I thought Ricki was pretty good. I love Derek but not sure if i will root for them.

Today, I got home and everything was fine with my computer, but then IT HAPPENED AGAIN!!  All of a sudden, I had no Internet connection! :P I called (the FOURTH TIME in THREE WEEKS) and used the prompts to reset the modem.  I thought that it would be automated, but I was connected to a live person.  He asked about the modem and saw that there was no signal.  He asked me if I had a router (I don't) and if the cable was plugged directly from the wall into the modem (it's not...I have a splitter).  He said, "Ahh!  That might be it."  He had me disconnect the splitter (I was recording "Castle" though :-\ ... but it's available on-line) and when the cable was plugged from the wall directly into the modem, I had connectivity!!  I was able to find another splitter and all SEEMS well.  I just hope that this problem will FINALLY BE OVER! >:(
