Good morning, all!

I hardly slept last night: first the neighbor  who's been elsewhere for the past several nights, then the mouse, and all of the tsuris of casting ROBERTA. Most of my day will be at Toyland working on the dialogue and dealing with the potential leading man and his agent.  At the moment, I am very soured on dealing with the Man from Philadelphia.

Now that I've actually seen the mouse, I will get traps and kill this nuisance ASAP.

Now I need to win the lottery so I can keep this recording project going, keep my team employed, and deal on a more solid footing with the Man from Philly.

And I thank your for the vibes. Please keep them coming!

I passed a sign on my way to work. One of the lotteries is up to $83 million. When Larry and I both win it that's still 41.5 million each and I can retire and Larry can keep working on Roberta.

I didn't get into westerns until ridiculously late in life, like, within the past five years.  The exploration has been fun and immensely satisfying, and I know I've been hearing some great film music, but that isn't something I've mentally catalogued for myself as of yet.  The Morricone scores, of course, are unique and wonderful, but could I rattle off favorite "regular" westerns scores?  No, not at this point.

I was sort of thinking about this last night as I sampled the new MAJOR DUNDEE release.  I've never seen the movie, and in just checking out the disc by hitting the chapter button a few times, it was obvious what a different tone each of its scores brings to the film.  I have no idea how I'll feel about either of them once I've watched both versions, but I look forward to the discovery.

The only Tarantino film I've seen in a theater was PULP FICTION and I had no idea who he was at that time.  Everyone was talking about the film, so I went, and I guess for the most part I enjoyed it.  Beyond that, every one of his films I've gotten to know has been long after the fact, on disc.  I don't think there's been one I haven't liked (for the most part), but I'm never initially very interested in seeing the latest one.  It takes hearing about it for a while to get me up for seeing it.  I wonder what a "native" Tarantino film, one that isn't a riff on a genre, would be like.

JACKIE BROWN was an amazing late discovery for me, having lived in the South Bay.  Apparently he insisted on being able to film on location in the Del Amo mall, or there would be no film, and I love all of the location work.  It's a damned nice movie in all other respects, too.

It is, along with two Jerome Moross scores, several Kurt Weill shows, several Jerome Kern, Victor Herbert shows and orchestra music, Cole Porter - including "Jubilee" - and Rodgers & Hart. It's about 29 shows at the moment.

This morning, I'm listening to the news about the Boston bombing, and the anchor and reporters are talking about how the FBI has all these photos that will (hopefully) lead them to the bad guys. The are also going into great detail on how the Feds are gathering evidence and what they're looking for.

So, I'm sitting there thinking: IF I was an aspiring bomber, these guys are telling me all the things I should do to avoid getting caught when I set off my device. For example, I should wear a hat, so cameras can't get a good look at me; wear gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints, destroy my clothes, so no forensic evidence can be collected from them, etc.

Thanks, guys, for the valuable lesson.

Again, whatever happened to common sense?

BK,

Although I enjoyed it, I also felt that DJANGO UNCHAINED was 15 minutes too long.

Additionally, I felt that the Django character (Jamie Fox) was very unlikable.  You are rooting for him to save his wife and kill the bad guys (because they are so despicable), but the character is too cold to really like.  The problem lies both in the script and the performance.

To go into any more detail would make me a Spoiler, so let's just leave it at that.

The Big Country by Jerome Moross (no strike-throughs)
How the West Was Won by Alfred Newman
Red River by Dimitri Tiomkin
The Searchers by Max Steiner
Silverado by  Bruce Broughton
Sons of Katie Elder by Elmer Bernstein
They Died With Their Boots On by Max Steiner


There are also some scores that seem to be for films that are western either by location or by action:  If Giant can be considered a western, then Dimitri Tiomkin's score for that; and "Shenandoah" by Frank Skinner is also a favorite, although it's set in Virginia during the Civil War...but has western "flavor" all over it.

Just been to see OBLIVION which I enjoyed.

I have to make my usual complaint about the multiplex where I saw it because the picture was too dull. I noticed that every now and again the picture would go slightly dull and then brighten. It did this throughout the film. I read somewhere that dull pictures are a common problem nowadays with digital projection.

This came up when Depp was playing Sweeney, didn't it - because there was talk of some Carol Channing - Sweeney Todd crossing-over - or maybe cross-dressing  :)

“Swing your diamonds wide, Johnny
Hold them to the skies
Freely flows the blood of those who're Loreleis

His beads are new, his hair is Cher’s
A feathered boa, some fancy stairs
He'd seen how Mrs. Molloy behaved
And all of the money that Horace had saved”



"Stiff back or stiff knees
You're great at Epiph'nies
Sweeney is a girl's best friend"

Or

"It takes a woman
To quietly brood
To bake him and change him
To her kind of food"

Or

"Mrs. Levi what a charming notion
Eminently tactical and inappropriate as always"


 That's from  memory from when this idea was in the "news" years ago.  can't find the actual lyrics.

Thanks BK for the great recommends, I saw all of those except Ace in the Hole and  one, two, three.  I loved them all, expecially Witness for the Prosecution.

Never heard of The Hofstetter Books, and who is Adriana?

Hey BK,

I checked out Murder At Hollywood High.  I guess you think the protagonist, Andriana, reminds you of me.  I do see some similiaries. 

Now I definitely have to buy the book.  It received great reviews. .  Maybe in the future you can really base a book on me.  (HA HA) (Just Joking) Hey, but you never know!

Hello again BK,

I see one of the Adriana Hofstetter books is Murder at the Hollywood Historical Society.
Can you believe that a few years back I was the secretary at The West Seneca Historical Society in West Seneca ny(Where I live), which is a suburb of Buffalo, NY.

Also I do love a good mystery, (book or Movie)

Hello Bk Again

I do so love a good mystery. I figured out  "who it was" in the movie "Usual Suspects during the last 5 minutes of the film.

I passed a sign on my way to work. One of the lotteries is up to $83 million. When Larry and I both win it that's still 41.5 million each and I can retire and Larry can keep working on Roberta.

Elmore has promised to split any lotter proceeds with me if I promise not to visit NYC again.

In a pig's eye!

and i am home from Toyland. I've left a message for the actor's manager and I wait on a return call.

So, the ex DP got his loan.  So, the DD and I will be vacating the cave hopefully by Memorial Day.  Going to check out an apartment complex that I lived in before before I came back to the house.  It was a good location, etc.  Kinda pricey but worth every penny.  I have rather bittersweet feelings about all this.  Part of me feels defeated, as I usually do in whatever the ex DP do things together, and I realize I shouldn't feel this way.  I'll miss the house and the yard, but not the "living" part.  I'll get over it.

In other news, the helicopter show is going well.  Tech is this Sunday.

The web show opens tomorrow, and THANK GOODNESS I'm done today.  That's all I'll say about that.

Thanks DougR,

I loved a lot of these movies, especially It's a Wonderful Life and Jane
Eyre.  I don't believe I saw Suspicion or the Lodge yet.

Who are the star's in these movies?

DR Kate - Suspicion is Alfred Hitchcock's film with Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine (both at their best). The Lodger stars Laird Cregar, Merle Oberon, George Sanders and Cedric Hardwicke in a fascinating reworking of Jack the Ripper.

I especially liked Le Grand Amour.

Your description of Suspicion sounds familiar.  I love Cary Grant.  I will try to catch it on TV or borrow from the library.  The Lodger sounds scary but interesting.

It is, along with two Jerome Moross scores, several Kurt Weill shows, several Jerome Kern, Victor Herbert shows and orchestra music, Cole Porter - including "Jubilee" - and Rodgers & Hart. It's about 29 shows at the moment.

Well, if I ever win the lottery, you'll definitely be on my list...in a good way!

This morning, I'm listening to the news about the Boston bombing, and the anchor and reporters are talking about how the FBI has all these photos that will (hopefully) lead them to the bad guys. The are also going into great detail on how the Feds are gathering evidence and what they're looking for.

So, I'm sitting there thinking: IF I was an aspiring bomber, these guys are telling me all the things I should do to avoid getting caught when I set off my device. For example, I should wear a hat, so cameras can't get a good look at me; wear gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints, destroy my clothes, so no forensic evidence can be collected from them, etc.

Thanks, guys, for the valuable lesson.

Again, whatever happened to common sense?

Actually, all that information is spelled out in much greater detail on a lot of the crime-type TV shows, so that's probably why they put all that information in the papers...because people now expect it. :-\

Ate some bacon and eggs, then went to Grant's - as I suspected, entering the fixes went very quickly - less than an hour.  Unfortunately he could not open the docx's that I'd sent him with the blurbs and flap copy, so I had to make them standard docs and send as soon as I got home.  So, he has everything now and it will all be at the publisher in the morning.  I'm hoping we can get books at the end of April.

Carol's response to the Johnny Depp story:


Legendary singer/actress/comedian Carol Channing never takes herself seriously.

So, when the Hello Dolly star heard that Johnny Depp wants to play her in a film, the 92-year-0ld responded with humor.

Her rep tells RumorFix, “Carol  says she would be honored to have Johnny portray her in a bio-pic. The fact that he is a man, doesn’t phase her at all, she can’t recall having ever seen anyone imitate her who didn’t have five o’clock shadow.”
