From yesterday:
TCB Asked
Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
I have always maintained that had Ms. Streisand allowed them to put her in a fat suit, and allowed them to age her up 15 to 20 years with her make-up; she could have easily scored a second Oscar nomination. And she could have shown herself to be an actress.
Still, is Gallagher really a Irish-Jewish name?
Her name is Gallagher-Levi. She was Irish Catholic Gallagher and married Epherium (Sp?) Levi a Jewish man which would have been a mixed that probably would have alienated them from both of their families since the story takes place in the 1880's. One would also assume he was an older than Dolly by quite a few years

Several of the original cast are featured. Wish the whole show had been filmed. But it's good to have this.

Sad news about Ebert. I generally enjoyed reading his reviews, even when I disagreed with his opinions.
How sad, the news says that Roger Ebert passed away today. I was just earlier this morning reading an interview with him about how his cancer had come back.
I guess people know my admiration for Stritch . I even had "stritchfan" as my twitter handle until my twiiter was hacked [amid the online nonsense, it seems] and lost as my handle last October.
If it's Ok, here's my salute to Stritch - which I put yesterday afternoon way down in the comments box under Stephen Holden's Times article, the article which is at:
http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/03/a-notable-audience-for-elaine-stritch-at-the-carlyle/
Tune of I Never Know When to Say When -
based a bit loosely on Mr. Holden's touching, insight-filled article, though of course Mr. Holden is obliged to deal with what he sees as the flaws for benefit of people paying the very high prices at the Carlyle for the rest of the run
[Stritch]
I’m having fun in here
A well-sold run in here
Look by the bar, seems every star knows I’m not done in here
They hang on every turn of phrase, every rhyme
That says there’s never a time to call time
I may not toe a line
And I may blow a line
But they don’t jeer, I make them cheer when I forego a line
If I get controversial, it’s so sublime
No, there is never a time to call time
No getting old ain’t no crime
There’s never a time to call time
We saw the marvelous "Passion" at Clasic Stage last night. Elmore's friend Rob Berman, who I've gotten to meet at dinner with him, did a spectacular job conducting, and I hope elmore got to see the show.
Melissa Errico was out unfortunately. But Judy Kuhn lived up to the great memories of her Kennedy center oerformance, and Ryan Silverman made me wish I could afford to fly to oregon to see him in "Somewhere in Time" - he is that good. And such a featured cast - Steve Bogardus, Jeffry denma, Ken Krugman, and we're right on top of them, like in theior living room the way John Doyle set it up, really meant to be PASSION in-your-face! In a good way.
Amy Justman did very very nicely. quite a fine compelling actress. Of course she is the understudy for both Fosca and Clara because she is so incredibly flexible that she could do either part. Would love to go back and see Melissa Errico, but it seems to be sold out for the run.
Coincidence - I don't think so: EXORCISTIC: A ROCK MUSICAL

Why do I think that Mr. Sawyer and compatriots have seen a little web series. I will have a field day with this in June.
I think I am more of a Meryl Streep gal
Back in the mid-seventies, one of the local radio stations in Seattle interviewed one of the executives of the Altoid Company who was visiting Seattle. The reason he gave for his visit was that when they were calculating their world-wide sales; they discovered that the City of Seattle ranked as the third biggest sales market of all the countries in the world. So they had sent him here to find out how that was possible. The reason he found was that when the coffee market exploded in Seattle, people started looking for something to cure coffee breath at work. Someone stumbled upon Altoids and several coffee chains (i.e. Starbucks) began stocking them at the cash registers of all their stores. Thus started the Altoid fever in the United States.
From DR Vixmom:QuoteI think I am more of a Meryl Streep gal
I think she would be a very good fit for you. :)
Roger Ebert has passed away. R.I.P.
OK, so far our cast is:
Sally Field as DR Jane
Meryl Streep as DR Vixmom
Kathy Bates as DR Ginny
All Oscar winners...
"Hitler's Children" sounds very interesting.

In the news today: Some communities in Georgia still have segregated proms!!!!
Unbelievable.
DR VIXMOM so glad that your Tailgater worked out. I would definitely recommend it again - but certainly YOUR model is better than mine for volume and convenience.....although with mine, I guess you can hook two of them together.....

MBarnum - I don't now. i'm confused by why they think no laws apply to them, but someone seems to have convinced them of that, nbecause theyseem to be behaving that way..
The jeans were one size and fit perfectly, the slacks were another size and fit perfectly. See what I mean?

I would have picked Eileen Heckart for you, DR Ginny.
To answer your question from yesterday, TCB--yes, I am going to the Lincoln Center Tribute to Ms. Streisand. Sounds like it should be an entertaining event.
Hi Everyone:
My 5 favorite movies would be:
The enchanted Cottage
Rudy
Notorious
Now ,Voyager
The movie with Jimmy Stewart when he goes to the summer cottage. Can't think of the title.

John G., Anthony has been taking tap for about a year and a half.
He began in an absolute beginner class (if you can walk you can tap) and has moved his way up to what's called "Fast Beginner" two steps up from Absolute Beginner. He loves it and takes class 3 times a week.
Back from all sorts of things - I needed more Alavert - they had none so I bought Claritan-D after the showed me conclusively that it's exactly the same as Alavert. I picked up some packages, then went to JOS Bank and bought some jeans and one pair of slacks, black. The jeans were one size and fit perfectly, the slacks were another size and fit perfectly. See what I mean?

Wait a minute, DR Jrand62. Are you filing these alphabetically within category, or what exactly? If they're filed in any kind of strict order, what happens when you acquire something new? Or are the pages in the binder removable so you can insert new ones easily? Or are you setting up some kind of numbering system?
We need some more information here.
I think the only actor that I would allow to play me would be MR BK.
MBarnum - I don't now. i'm confused by why they think no laws apply to them, but someone seems to have convinced them of that, nbecause theyseem to be behaving that way..
I'm sure there are no such rules. But they've decided they don't like you so they made a rule for you. Why would you want to go?

By definition, in any civil rights case, you're "not wanted" by the people or group denying you access to their [whatever, service, public accomodation, taxi cab, restaurant, place, job, anything]. Yes, you can go eat somewhere else, see the film somewhere else, spend your time doi9ng something else, live soemwhere else, work somewhere else,etc. But a principle is that if it's seen as discrimination, you don;t have to accept it.
I don't know how it differs in Canada.
The only analogy i can make to a place like Talkin Broadway is imagine a building where the the tenants rae 98% wonderful people but you have a beef with the landlords who feel laws don;t apply to them, so the landlords want you out.

I think Jennifer interpreted your post as referring to an actual party rather than a website
If I am mistaken in MY interpretation, never mind :)

I've never been a calorie counter -- when I've dieted, it's been something like Atkins in which you stick to a certain type of food but you don't count calories -- but I believe it's time to start.
What prompted this post (in addition to Ye Olde Waistline, of course) is the foodstuff I just ate and very much enjoyed. I like some of the wraps at Trader Joe's and today I picked up their Wild Pacific Salmon Wrap. First off, it's delicious and quite hefty and filling. It consists of salmon, cucumbers, spinach, and yogurt dill sauce in a tomato tortilla. Okay, if truth be told (and it must, it must), I could eat three of these in a sitting. But I'm trying to cut out that kind of binge eating.
Anyhoo, I'd noticed that this wrap was notably lower in sodium than their others (some of which have four times the amount), and lower in carbs. But what I'm not used to looking at is the calories. Unfortunately, they seem to believe this fine piece of foodstuff consists of two (2) servings. And that's how they get you. But the numbers still aren't bad. Calorie count is 400, or 200 for half. If you're a stronger person than I, you will eat half of this and save the rest for later. That's a concept foreign to my way of life, and something I need to work on.

I really shouldn't say this about another Western Washington boy (not to mention The Christ), but Jim Caviezel isn't a very good actor.Did you sit through his golf movie?

John, how nice to see you posting.
I'm back. A survivor of JURASSIC PARK.
This never was a film I could get fanatical over. I even had to be taken to it in its first run; probably never would have gone on my own. I enjoyed it okay, but never felt the slightest urge to return to it at a theater and I believe I only ever sampled the vaunted DTS laserdisc and later one of the DVDs. So, it was fine seeing it all the way through tonight on the big screen, and the 3D conversion was fine...but that's it for me, don't need any more, thank you very much. I did start to get curious about the original Crichton book this time, though, and might seek out an audio version for enjoying in the car.
