Title: JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EDGE ENHANCEMENT
Post by: bk on May 23, 2012, 12:44:57 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a journey and were centered and had edge enhancement, and now it is time for you to post until the enhanced cows come home.

Post by: elmore3003 on May 23, 2012, 05:09:29 AM: Good morning, all! This is the first day in some time I am declaring a ME Day: I'm going to clean the apartment, organzine, file and tend to important things pertaining to me. I also need to stop at the post office.

The alarm went off at 6, and I slept in until 7. I had a peculiar dream about rehearsing a show like, but wasn't, the Appalachian Christmas piece; I was staying in a fantastic hotel, the wise men were in three Volkswagons and that's all I remember of it.

I do want to see THE WOMAN IN BLACK; the 1989 BBC version is truly terrifying, and the original novel by Susan Hill is a successful attempt to write a Victorian ghost story. I have the impression that the new film doesn't follow the novel as closely as the BBC version does, but I haven't read the novel in close to twenty years, so what do I know? I watched the BBC version again about two years ago and it still packs a wallop. I owned it on VHS as soon as it was released for sale after the A&E broadcast. I now own a bootleg DVD because it's no longer available and it's a pity. It should be an annual Halloween broadcast. I see on IMDB that it's one minute longer than the Radcliffe movie, but I still want to see the new version, so I can saa how it compares.

More coffee and to work!

When Skip, DR FJL and I saw MARY POPPINS the first time, the scenic problems stopped the show cold and we had to come back for another performance.

I'm looking forward to the news on ONCE. I think you and Richard should go onstage and have a beer at 1:30.

This reminds me of something that Mervyn LeRoy said to me once. He was talking about Hollywood, but it certainly applies to this situation.

"The problem with the movies is that they take a Broadway hit and improve it into a flop."

Yes, I was afraid Jim Parsons and Scott Ellis were going to announce something like that when they appeared in front of the beautiful scrim with the lamppost on it. As it turned out, it was a delightful chat.

And I'm afraid that the more I see of Carey Mulligan, the thinner her acting seems to get. I heard she was great onstage, and I certainly enjoyed "An Education," but she doesn't do it for me as Daisy in these previews. Neither did Mira Sorvino or Mia Farrow.

Post by: JMK on May 23, 2012, 07:34:09 AM: As I've stated before, my first interaction with internet idiots (TM) was on Wikipedia, when an "editor" literally stole my Farmer article, but got several facts wrong in the process. When I tried to correct her, I found out that those who "live" for these sites know all sorts of ways to "game the system", and I soon found myself suspended, even though I had been plagiarized. Since then I've learned to (mostly) ignore the idiots and instead try to respond to those who actually know what they're talking about. :)

The dealership sits all by itself on a two-lane country road, and their slogan is, or was until recently, "across the road from the cows". Maybe those cows went home. I'd better check.

DR Ginny, I think you'd like DEAREST ENEMY a lot. My favorite round of dialogue occurs in the lead-in to "Bye and Bye":

SIR JOHN: I'm sure you're not my personal enemy-
BETSY: And why not?
SIR JOHN: You couldn't be when you know I love you. Say you don't hate me.
BETSY: I don't hate you. It's not your fault. it's your people, you British. This war-
SIR JOHN: But war is a man's business, Betsy.
BETSY: No, war is a woman's business. This wilderness was made livable by women and we're all going to fight for it, every one of us.
SIR JOHN: But when it's all over? There will still be you and there will still be me. What of us? Our countries will make peace. Must we still be enemies?
BETSY: How can I love you when all of your hopes are against all of mine?

Well, the info coming in on THE MUSiC MAN at Arena bodes not much good; the director for some reason has set the show in the 1930s, which blows to hell Willson's valentine to his childhood before WW 1, and dances like the Castle Walk and Turkey Trot seem awfully out of place, along wth the Wells Fargo Wagon and Captain Billy's Whizbang, in that period of talkies, Fred and Ginger, the depression, and other matters of social and economic change.

This reminds me of something that Mervyn LeRoy said to me once. He was talking about Hollywood, but it certainly applies to this situation.

"The problem with the movies is that they take a Broadway hit and improve it into a flop."

Sounds about right. :-\

My guess is it's season two? That's a shame - that said, many of the season two episodes are excellent, with the exception of the two really dreadful ones directed by the same guy trying to ape American directors - those you should just skip. But season one, which they should have issued first, has the best episodes and a few things in that season are necessary to know in order to pick up on subtle things in season two. But this distributor here is acting like season one didn't even exist.

At both NY Theatreworks and the Broadway production, by the time they got to the final version of "Falling Slowly" I was blubbering like a baby.

I lost it when The Girl said, "It can't be about that!"

For me it was the moment near the end when she said in Czech "I love you" and the words came up as subtitles so he never understood what she said.

One kid's mom is worried about the son's drum kit being left in the gym all week. I assured her that I've left electronic instruments in the gym for a week for 18+ years and nothing has happened to them. When do parents
stop making excuses for their children (the kid is 17). I'm ready to do the show with a MIDI bass and drum track, guitar and keyboard.

DR ChasSmith, glad you got some Susan Gordon viewing, as others said, she was an absolute sweetheart.

If you search the innerwebs, specifically Ebay, you might be able to locate the issue of SCARLET STREET magazine which ran my interview with Susan. In fact she is the one, along with DR JRand61, who urged me to join HHW several years ago.

IMHO, her best movie is FIVE LITTLE PENNIES with Danny Kaye.

The Five Pennies :)

My question for ASK BK day is:

What is your favorite stock play or comedy - the one that is produced at community theaters across the country.

PRESENT LAUGHTER
THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER

PRESENT LAUGHTER......is that Noel Coward?

Yes.

I was going to wear a summer skirt but the temps are dropping before we arrive which only leaves me with jeans. Of course I would dress those up with a blouse and jacket, or something nice.

Yes, it is a Coward comedy. I saw it around 1965 and never laughed. Perhaps I would now if I saw it again.

It was one of the most successful productions I have ever done. Top pick everyday in the newspaper, lots of people waiting backstage to see me after the show, being recognized at the Mall or out for drinks after the show... It was a wonderful run!

I personally wouldnot wear jeans to a graduation. No other skirts or dresses? Dress pants?
Title: Re: JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EDGE ENHANCEMENT
Post by: Jane on May 23, 2012, 06:39:33 PM: My dress pants are my skinny pants I can't fit into. I don't have a lot of dresses or skirts. I think only the light summer skirt will work. One I wore to his wedding & is too dressy, the others are too short or more for fall. I wish it was going to be a little warmer there.

I also got a double-disc set of Judy's "A Star Is Born" for $5.

Post by: Jane on May 23, 2012, 07:17:31 PM: Done, summer skirt with sandals, nice short sleeve black top I didn't think would work but it does because I added a necklace that goes with the skirt. I'm going to be cold unless the temps warm up there. We are renting a car so maybe I'll put my jeans in it in case I'm cold walking around in the evening.
