Title: SCREENERS
Post by: bk on December 10, 2012, 12:03:51 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of screeners, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently watching some screeners of this year's MOOvies.

Title: Re: SCREENERS
Post by: Michael on December 10, 2012, 04:21:29 AM: Watched the latest Outside Box and really enjoyed it, but I think it could have done without the leper musical number. Maybe because it didn't have Kevin Symons or Damon Kirsche. But I see that other people enjoyed it. I guess that's what makes chariot races.

Post by: elmore3003 on December 10, 2012, 04:32:34 AM: Good morning, all! I didn't get to bed before midnight, so I forced myself to start moving around 6:45, hoping that I can get back to my usual sleeping pattern. We'll see.

I'm on my first cup of coffee, and not quite awake. I'd like to get to Toyland relatively early, so I can head back uptown around 1pm, and I will spend the afternoon making chicken soup.

First thing, the market. I am out of milk.

Post by: ChasSmith on December 10, 2012, 05:14:18 AM: Oy, what a day I have today.

No. Make that: Oy, what a week I have this week.

As I have done a couple of times in the past at this time of year, I'm helping out a dear friend who is music director of a large high school, by stepping in as accompanist and pit pianist for concerts here and there, and there's one during the day today.

Then this evening, auditions for ADRIFT in McCOW. I've always been a fairly decent sightreader, but I am no DR JoseSPiano, no sirree, so I find the playing of auditions akin to being an air traffic controller: long stretches of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror.

Post by: Michael on December 10, 2012, 05:16:11 AM: And I would like to add:

It dawned on me what scene I would have like to seen as the last scene in the musical version of Ben-Hur. Instead of the leper number it could have been the deathbed scene of Masala with Judah by his side.
Title: Re: SCREENERS
Post by: ChasSmith on December 10, 2012, 05:20:41 AM: DR Mike: Always interesting to hear where and how people sell stuff. I presume you were referring to the Swap Shop at the old Thunderbird Drive-In in Fort Lauderdale? I was visiting there about a decade ago and couldn't resist spending a Sunday morning seeing that. It's rather mind boggling, and quite the phenomenon.

I can only wish I'd be wandering through a jernt like that when somebody has, oh, let's say, a great collection of DVDs, etc., up for sale!

Title: Re: SCREENERS
Post by: ChasSmith on December 10, 2012, 05:43:04 AM: As I more or less posted last week, SKYFALL started off "okay" for me, but as it progressed I found myself liking it more and more, until by the end I realized I'd just had a rollicking great time at the theater -- in spite of getting my eardrums blasted in the faux-IMAX where, nowadays, blasting eardrums is what they specialize in. I sat there seriously considering trying earplugs in the future.

BK nails my single greatest complaint in a simple, eloquent phrase: "too many action sequences that are just pure fantasy". SKYFALL starts off with one that has you shaking your head not two minutes into the picture. Fortunately, as you now know, the movie redeems itself. I'd guess we're stuck with this in Bond films now. A too-large percentage of the audience wouldn't settle for anything "less" than these kinds of stupid-fying action sequences.

But I hadn't even realized this: no shaky cam! Yay!!!! Today, Best Director. Tomorrow, Sainthood.
Title: Re: SCREENERS
Post by: ChasSmith on December 10, 2012, 05:47:36 AM: And with BK's endorsement, I will probably tackle AMOUR sometime. But it does indeed sound like a tough one, and I have to admit I'm going to content myself with keeping it on the back burner for a while.

Don't know, guess iPad doesn't want him to use the competition. He can read books we purchase from B & N, just not buy them directly to the iPad. Like my library app on my Nook, the quality of reading them isn't as good and you can't "turn" the pages like a regular book.

I am confused. So he can use the ipad to read the books from B & N. But he cannot buy them directly from his ipad? Obviously it would be preferable if he could buy them directly from his ipad. But as long as he can read them on his ipad why is that a problem? I find it much easier (and almost always) buy my ebooks on my computer and send them to my kindle vs buying them on my actual kindle.

Do you always buy your B & N books right from your nook?

Also what do you mean "you can't turn the pages like a regular book"?

I was thrilled with the end of TAR!!

SPOILER DISCUSSION ABOUT LAST NIGHT's FINALE of THE AMAZING RACE
*
*
*
Shockingly (for me) I was thrilled as well. I never end up rooting for the underdog or the feelgood team. I almost always end up rooting for the best competitors. But I could not help myself. Sometimes I just end up rooting for someone and have no control over it. To me Trey and Lexie were the best competitors by far in the finale. But 2 weeks ago they did something that just turned me off of them. What they did to Abby and Ryan was just so underhanded. IT really made me dislike them. It's funny because it didn't make me dislike the chipendales. They u-turned abby and ryan (the one guy needed the money for his sick dad). And I was fine with that. That is part of the game. But then when Trey/Lexie u-turned the team that had u-turned abby/ryan - doing it because they knew that team had already passed the u-turn. Well that rubbed me the wrong way. I get that Abby and Ryan were the biggest competition (and probably would have won). And i get that it is for a million dollars. But that was just so underhanded and mean. I don't even know why TAR would allow that game play. I think the gay farmers were pretty uncompetitive at the beginning. But in the past few weeks that had started to improve. They were the smartest by far. I did feel bad that Lexie had so much trouble with the flags. But she should have done what the winner did. Just try different combinations. They told you when you were right (which i didn't think they were going to do). Great ending.

The only movies i can recall seeing in the theatre this year are The Hunger Games and Breaking Dawn Part 2. I probably went to at least 2 more movies, just can't remember what they were.

I guess SKYFALL wins by default since I've seen so few recent movies. But I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Or a couple of somethings.

(The finest experiences I had in theaters this year? THE BIRDS, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, and LAWRENCE OF ARABIA.)

I've seen no 2012 movies other than the screeners I've gotten. From that group I've like ARGO, FLIGHT, and THIS IS FORTY. The two worst have been DARK KNIGHT RISING...a rolling juggernaut of illogic and CLOUD ATLAS...just as pretentious and ponderous as it looked in its TV trailer.
Title: Re: SCREENERS
Post by: Druxy on December 10, 2012, 07:43:22 AM: TOD:

ARGO was good.

LINCOLN - The parts were better than the whole. Daniel Day-Lewis is probably a shoo-in for the Best Actor Oscar.

I'm waiting for the rest of the biggies to become available on DVD.

A very good season of TAR.....and I hope the second place team will return for an ALL STAR season sooner or later.... The 4th place team really had some good things to say about themselves and certainly took ALL of the blame for their loss on themselves - which doesn't always happen on TAR.....

I am confused. So he can use the ipad to read the books from B & N. But he cannot buy them directly from his ipad? Obviously it would be preferable if he could buy them directly from his ipad. But as long as he can read them on his ipad why is that a problem? I find it much easier (and almost always) buy my ebooks on my computer and send them to my kindle vs buying them on my actual kindle.

Do you always buy your B & N books right from your nook?

Also what do you mean "you can't turn the pages like a regular book"?

He can purchase books directly on his iPad, just not from Barnes & Noble. If I also want to read the book he will purchase it from B & N off his computer or I will buy it from my Nook & then we can share it. He prefers not to read through the B & N app on his iPad as the quality isn't as good on his iPad, yet his library app works better than mine does on my Nook. It is all rather frustrating that they aren't equal.

The iPad, and now my new Nook HD have animation (?) that looks as if your are turning the pages like one does with a regular book. My old Nook, and when I read through my library app, or Keith reads through his B & N app, has a flat page turner. The animated turner also turns more easily & feels more natural to use.

DR DRUXY are you going back to see the doggie today?

They are bringing the dog back to our house on Saturday and leaving him for a few hours. Having the current owners there was a bit of a distraction.

If we do take the dog, it won't be until just after the first of the year. The dog will have been in a kennel for 3-4 days, so when we go to pick him up, he will feel (hopefully) that we've saved him.

Watched the latest Outside Box and really enjoyed it, but I think it could have done without the leper musical number. Maybe because it didn't have Kevin Symons or Damon Kirsche. But I see that other people enjoyed it. I guess that's what makes chariot races.

a) Kevin is in The Leper Colony number in several reaction shots. b) there was no way not to do a leper colony number if you're doing Ben-Hur as a musical.

Loved the leper number.

We also are thinking about getting a cat.

Is it better (i.e. safer) to bring a dog into a house that already has a cat? Or, vice versa?
Title: Re: SCREENERS
Post by: Jane on December 10, 2012, 11:09:50 AM: Best to rescue a set if possible ;)

Do you know if this dog is ok with cats? Are you planning on a kitten or an adult? If the dog is fine with cats a kitten should adjust. If an adult, either cat or dog, it is best to find out how they react to other pets.

When you rescue from pets in foster you get a better sense of what they are fine with. Often people who foster have both dogs & cats.

Usually there aren't, at least in my personal experiences. I do know some dogs, such as Huskies raised without a cat, will attack them. Plenty of adult cats do not accept a dog, especially an adult dog. They are more likely to adjust to the puppy since they can initially tell the pup they are the boss.

I'm sure you can find a dog & cat that will get along, just be sure to ask some questions. If you really like this dog you are having for a visit, ask a friend with a cat if they can meet (keeping pooch on a leash). You will quickly know if the dog is aggressive or not.

Colin McKean, the 36-year-old son of actor Michael McKean, has been identified as one of two men who died of suspected heroin overdoses in Ashland last week.
Ashland police Deputy Chief Corey Falls said Colin McKean was found dead by a family member at his home in the 700 block of North Laurel Street shortly after 8 p.m. on Dec. 3.
Police said evidence found at the scene suggested McKean died of a heroin overdose. Falls said today police are still awaiting laboratory results to confirm the cause of death.
The other man, identified as 34-year-old Jordan Roth, was found dead by a family friend 24 hours later in the 2400 block of Siskiyou Boulevard.
Police are investigating whether the two cases are connected.
"That's one thing our detectives look into," Falls said. "Just because these happened on back-to-back nights, it makes it odd, but our detectives just try to gather information."
Michael McKean and his wife, Annette O'Toole, own the property on Laurel Street, according to Jackson County property records.

First cut was very good - it ran exactly seven minutes, which is the same length as Ben-Hur, so length wasn't a problem, thank goodness. I did take ten seconds (which is a lot) out of the set-up scene, just to move it along. I spent most of the time working on the first musical number, which involves almost the entire cast. It was good, but I asked for several shots to be swapped out with others - just felt it lacked a certain dynamic, which it now has. Otherwise, I removed two bars of music at the top of the second number but didn't change any shots or any shots in the third number. So, it's pretty much done now, although I'll live with it for a few days and may show it to some friends.

They look pretty small, as far as I can see.

I just remembered that you can change the size that's displayed. Where the link has the [_IMG_] (without the underlines), you can do this: [_IMG width=xxx height=yyy_]http...jpg[_/IMG_] And instead of "xxx" and "yyy", you can put the number of pixels that you want each image to show. For instance, if a picture is normally 1600 by 1200 pixels (you can right click on the image and choose "Properties" and that will show what the dimentions are), you could (for instance) use "width=640 height=480" within the IMG code and that will smallerize the picture but keep the same ratio.

Does that make sense??

So, THIS (http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff302/HHWgroup/StrawberriesintheHotel.jpg) picture is normally 1600 by 1200, but you can change the way it displays on HHW by doing this (quote this message to see what I did):

We just came back from my Mother's. I'd tried for a couple of hours this afternoon to call to tell her about Rachel's arrival and kept getting a busy signal. When we got there she was eating her dinner and I could hear that "Woop, woop" sound that tells you your phone is off the hook. It was the cordless phone she had in her pocket. I pushed the OFF button and everything is fine.

I used to hate when my father did that. I couldn't go over and check on him.

I bet your mother enjoyed receiving the news in person ;) Does she wear hearing aids?

No, her hearing's pretty good and I think hearing aids would just annoy her. Most of her hearing difficulty is that she's just not listening.

Quote from: Cillaliz on December 10, 2012, 02:18:09 PM
TAR. I was glad the 4th place team finished 4th. Although they blamed themselves they drove me nuts the whole season

I guess they were supposed to be funny. But really they were quite annoying. They were not a good team. Yet they were so bossy. They really got on my nerves! And I hated how they kept trying to decide which team should be last. They actually wanted the other teams to wait for them while they did the speedbump? It really was there own fault they got lost!

I am prone to that same problem which is now exasperated by my hearing loss. I'm lucky Keith hasn't left me ;)

Watched the latest Outside Box and really enjoyed it, but I think it could have done without the leper musical number. Maybe because it didn't have Kevin Symons or Damon Kirsche. But I see that other people enjoyed it. I guess that's what makes chariot races.

a) Kevin is in The Leper Colony number in several reaction shots. b) there was no way not to do a leper colony number if you're doing Ben-Hur as a musical.

And that is why you write and direct them.

I haven't been to too many movies this year. But the only one I have thoroughly enjoyed was "Bernie," a very Texas movie and a hoot. The scenes of Jack Black singing numbers from "Music Man" and "Guys and Dolls" were worth the price of admission alone.

I quite liked BERNIE as well.

This afternoon there was an assassination of a 31-year-old man from Los angeles at Broadway and 58th Street. The news is calling it a paid hit.
