Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a circle, and now it is time for you to post until the circular cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: KELPIE!
-
Have most people already received their copies of Sandy's CD?
-
Wonder if something went wrong in our package room. I'll check on Monday.
-
bk, you sure have a lot of irons in the fire! :P
-
Have most people already received their copies of Sandy's CD?
I think so. Several weeks ago.
-
good morning to all
-
So glad to be back in Florida and the warm weather?
-
a very very late ASK BK
You mentioned that the new BLU RAY release of OLIVER! had some copies autographed by Shani Wallis. I see that it will be up for pre-order in a couple of weeks.
How does one get an autographed copy?
-
Has any seen the STAGE version of BOEING BOEING?
I am wondering if it would work as an all male version. The flight attendants had different names in both Broadway productions. In the original they all began with the letter "J" and in the revival they all began with the letter "G".
I thought it might make an interesting one night fundraiser as a reading for the same organization I am doing The Normal Heart For.
-
and I forgot to mention people have the audacity to sell the Samuel French copy on Amazon ranging from used $23.72 all the way up to $84.05 and new from $38.90 to $128.06.
The Samuel French store in Studio City has it for $9.95

-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
We're told to batten down the hatches in advance of the big storm which is due tonight. I don't think I've got any hatches and I'm not sure what they are, but if I find any I'll do my best to batten them down!
-
Good morning, all.
Fred, I got my copy of Simply a couple of weeks ago.
Stay safe in the storm, Doug R. How are you recovering?
-
Loving the notes about the production coming together, BK.
-
Do I know anything today? I don't think so. At least not yet.
-
I saw Side Effects in the theater when it opened. I enjoyed it, despite some shortcomings, which included seeing a few (not all) turns in the script. I was surprised at how much I liked Channing Tatum and not surprised at how over the top I thought Catherine ZJ was.
-
Finally caught with yesterday's postings.
Sorry, Mike, different Bonnie Walker, but I have pointed the name out to her on a Gypsy recording. It made no impression. She's into Bruckner.
Great photos, Vixmom.
And, Fred, what did you think of Honeymoon in Vegas?
-
Do I know anything today? I don't think so. At least not yet.
Good start to the day.
-
"Honeymoon in Vegas" has a lot of crude humor but great entertainment and heart. For example, Tony Danza's stunning second-act solo in "Honeymoon in Vegas" (written of course by Jason Robert Brown and stunningly set up in allegorically insane fashion by the bookwriter) is resonating so much still a day later.
-
Good morning, all! I have only one plan for today. I need milk for my coffee, so that means a walk to the corner bodega. Then, I have no plans for the day.
Last night I watched two BBC ghost stories. I expected to be terrified. Neither one did.
BK, There was a sixth unwanted person in this revue. What happened to him/her?
-
Good morning, all. Late morning. Got to sleep in a little, a blessed thing.
-
Stay safe in the storm, Doug R. How are you recovering?
Thank you John G. I'm much improved.
-
Good morning.

Thanks DR Vixmom.
-
BK, I do not find the rehearsal reports boring at all. I find them fascinating. And oddly enough I find the route discussion fascinating too.
-
Storm survival vibes for DR DOUG R.
thanks to everyone yesterday for the party vibes. It was a very nice gathering of 35 people....I will post some photos later.
I have to get ready and attend the Putnam County Playhouse Annual Meeting and then a gathering at my cousin's house.....but eventually I shall return.
-
I am enjoying the rehearsal reports as well.
Since I don't have a show in the near future, it is always nice to read about the theatre adventures of the denizens here on HHW.
-
Off to write my annual report.....after the Page Two Dance.
Hitchcock would have approved.
-
BK,
I have to totally disagree with you on SIDE EFFECTS.
My wife and I both thought it was one of the best thrillers we have seen in some time...and it does take a lot to surprise us. Indeed, the structure (not the plot) reminded me of PSYCHO.
I'm not going to discuss plot points here, because I don't want to be a Spoiler, but this is a terrific movie.
-
Good Morning All!
-
DR Druxy and DR BK,
Well now I am curious about SIDE EFFECTS.
I think I get can watch it on ON DEMAND.
I'll let you know what I think.
I love movies which keep you guessing!
-
One of the movies that I loved was THE GAME with Michael Douglas.
That really kept me guessing!
As any DR"S seen this movie, and if so what did you think of it?
-
Can any DR"s give me some great movie mysteries to watch?
-
I Just realized I'm chatting with myself.
WHERE IN TARNATION IS EVERYONE???
-
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a circle, and now it is time for you to post until the circular cows come home.
...without a beginning and nobdy knows where the circle ends.

I'm curious about the film as well. I hadn't heard about it before. I must try and rent it.

I liked THE GAME, too.
-
DR Druxy,
Can you recommend some good mysteries?
-
Yes DR Doug R,
After we watch THE GAME we will have to compare notes.
-
DR Druxy,
Did you figure out THE GAME before it ended?
-
Much of my day is being spent on I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE.
Hitchcock, Bergman, and Fellini would approve.
-
Good morning!
-
Watching Burns and Allen on Antenna TV. Gracie was one of a kind.
-
Hello Kevin,
I just noticed that Mr Skeffington is on tonight on TCM at 8;00 Pm
I love this movie, starring Bette Davis and Claude Rains.
-
Much of my day is being spent on I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE.
Hitchcock, Bergman, and Fellini would approve.
Well, at least Joe DiPietro would approve.
-
Kevin,
Did you ever see Mr Skeffington?
-
Well, I have to go now!
-
In honor of today's subject this video shows Mr. Bacharach teaching a group of children to sing THE WORLD IS A CIRCLE. You would think that words to his song came directly from the Koran, the Torah,and the New Testament all rolled into one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUhKcnvhAvs
-
Have most people already received their copies of Sandy's CD?
Yes!
-
elmore, the sixth person became a non-issue a couple of weeks ago - this would be kind of a nightmare if that hadn't changed.
-
Since FJL has had this mail room problem on several occasions I think we can assume the problem lies there.
-
And I'm up and must leave in a mere fifteen minutes - I do think I got close to my eight hours of sleep, though.
-
DR Druxy,
Did you figure out THE GAME before it ended?
I'm not sure. It was so long ago that I saw it.
Have you seen THE USUAL SUSPECTS? That's a goodie.
-
Since FJL has had this mail room problem on several occasions I think we can assume the problem lies there.
I'll check tomorrow. It may still be sitting there and we never got a notice about it.
-
Usually, all that happens is they don't put a notice in the box by accident.
-
Doug, safe storm vibes!
-
Doug, safe storm vibes!
Same from here, too!

I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 and my life has been a hell since 9:30 waiting for the download and now I'm deleting little used mp3 files to get more space on my hard drive. It's been a tense time, but I listened to the OBC of ON A CLEAR DAY and Barbara Harris charmed all the aggravation away.
I need some food.
-
I vote for another pizza. :)
-
It must be a really slow news day when the top story of the day continues to be Julianne Hough going to a Halloween party in blackface.
-
DR Elmore: In your quest for good pumpkin foodstuffs, I wonder if you've had anything from Stew Leonard's which of course isn't in the city but we can certainly get some to you. The Pumpkin Raisin cookies, for instance, are soft and chewy and partially responsible for my current waistline. Saw one or two other things, too, but I forget what those were. I'll bring the cookies to the Harmonia Gardens so whoever wants to can try them.
-
DR Druxy,
Did you figure out THE GAME before it ended?
I didn't figure out the ending of THE GAME. In fact, I never do figure out twist endings. It always amuses me how people say they figured the twist ending of a film five minutes after it started. Like, yes - I always believe them!
-

Ms. Harris does have the charms to do that.

From DR Vixmom:
He made that himself - the jacket and the gun - which has working light and sound effects - he's a clever lad, that one
He is very clever. Please send my compliments.

Actually, in many instances, I am able to figure out the identity of the bad guy or killer long before his/her identity is revealed. TV is certainly easier than movies, but I have a couple of rules that I employ that simplifies the job.
1. If a "name" actor is in the cast and, early on, his is a "nothing part," chances are that, by the end of the show, he is going to be revealed as the "killer". A role/film that comes to mind is Tom Berenger in Robert Altman's THE GINGERBREAD MAN.
2. If the cops on LAW AND ORDER, for example, are interviewing the wife or son or whomever of a murder victim and somebody else is present (e.g. friend, cousin, etc.), it's a safe bet that that other person, if not the killer, is definitely involved. Why else whould he/she be there? Why would the producers pay for an actor who doesn't have a story function?
The "Druxman Rule," as we call it in our house, doesn't always work, but it does 8 out of 10 times.
But, I love it when a movie or TV show surprises me, like SIDE EFFECTS or THE USUAL SUSPECTS or THE SIXTH SENSE or THE GAME or THE OTHERS. Those are the movies that I remember.

We have it set to record.

DR Doug are you feeling better today?
Stay safe and warm and dry during the storm.
-

Is the UNINVITED showing? This is the time of year for it.

I feel exactly the same. A perennial patsy, i am amazed with comments like "I knew who the killer was in the first 10 minutes" and i'm thinking, I sure didn't!
-

That really kept me guessing!
As any DR"S seen this movie, and if so what did you think of it?
I always though what would have happened if that character instead of falling through the skylight instead fell off the side of the building. Would the same thing have happened?
-
I'm a dumbass. I never guess anything.

RE: THE SIXTH SENSE
I saw it a few times to catch everything I missed the first time, but then he started to use the same tricks in Unbreakable and Signs. By the time The Village came out I guessed the twist ending without seeing it. A friend saw it and he confirmed that I was right.
i have not seen one of his movies since Signs. I really think he was a one trick pony.

The thing about this new version of the board is that it automatically makes the words be the link in the "Post reply" screen. If you quote a message and then preview it so that you get to the "Post reply" screen that has all the options, click on the red "A" box under the "Change Color" drop-down box and then the message box will shows all the codes that are used for your message.
Essentially, do this without any spaces within each set of brackets (I used the bold codes just to highlight the link...it's completely optional):

I know a few people who said that they knew the "twist" in "The Sixth Sense." Good for them. I didn't and was completely gobsmacked when it was revealed! I wouldn't have wanted to know that the first time I saw it. I have also seen the director's next two films, but I didn't see any more than that...I don't know why.

Probably for the same reasons I stated above. They became predictable. Red was an important color in The Sixth Sense. It was purple in Unbreakable. I forgot the main color in signs. But we expected his films to have twists so we were prepared for them. We watched for his signature stylings so his films no longer became enjoyable. I for one don't want to see a film knowing it has a twist. It ruins it for you because you are trying to figure out what it is instead of enjoying the film.

I agree with you DR George. I had been told there was a huge twist, but I tried to just put it aside and I was surprised. I hate it when people tell me either that there is a twist or what it is. I love to be surprised. I think that's part of the reason I like to ether try to see a movie shortly after it's released or long after the buzz has settled and I don't remember what was said about it
-
From the multipart article Where M Knight Shyamalan Went Wrong. In the following quote that summed up the part on Unbreakable it sums up what I feel is wrong with his films post The Sixth Sense, They also discuss The Village, The Happening, The Last Airbender
As solid a film as Unbreakable is, it also wound up poisoning Shyamalan’s career. Ending both of his first two directorial efforts with a big reveal resulted in audiences seeing him as “that guy who finishes his movies with a twist” – a nickname that would grow more and more sour with titles like Signs, The Village, and The Happening. Why didn’t Shyamalan just end the film with David revealing his real identity to his son? What would have happened to Shyamalan’s career if he had? Everything could have been different.

Orchestrator Larry Moore, who is mighty good at unearthing, reassembling and providing the missing pieces of vintage musical comedies, has done just that.... The musical restoration by Moore appears to be excellently done, and New World Records, which years ago gave us a splendid recording of Rodgers and Hart's Babes in Arms, has done a fine job.
Congrats! Nice to see you getting some much deserved recognition

I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 and my life has been a hell since 9:30 waiting for the download and now I'm deleting little used mp3 files to get more space on my hard drive. It's been a tense time, but I listened to the OBC of ON A CLEAR DAY and Barbara Harris charmed all the aggravation away.
I need some food.
I need to move all my iTunes files. I have a 148GB "C" drive and there's only 3GB left! My iTunes and other downloaded files (such as my Digital Theatre movies) are about 78GB of that. I just found a page on iTune's website that explains how to move your library. I'll do that to free up all that space. I have a 1TB external hard drive and a 2TB drive. I am moving all the stuff on the 1TB drive to the 2TB drive and make the 1TB drive dedicated to iTunes and Digital Theatre. It's going to take several days to transfer all the files because there are a LOT of them. :)

He disliked the Herbert songs and ignored EILEEN, so his review for DEAREST ENEMY is, I suppose, a step up!

He seems to like your work, Lar. Did you do the BABES IN ARMS CD?
Actually, I was one of the editors for it. I was the one who suggested strongly that the "Johnny One Note" ballet get recorded and Ted Chapin backed me up against the conductor's wishes.

I hope it leads to more work!
Wouldn't that be wonderful?!

Can some kind DR explain from whence we order the Oliver! Blu-Ray?

Why the heck would they NOT want to record the ballet??

Well, it's over! "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" has finished its last performance and in a few minutes, we must strike the entire set and everything. We had a great audience today. A good day to end on. :D
Until later!

Sunday afternoon greetings! It was dark, cold, and foggy when we left for Lima this morning. We stopped for lunch at Culver's and Richard slept while I drove home from there. I slept for a couple of hours when we got home and now I'm ready to chat.

We have tickets for the PIPPIN matinee, but we're not planning a show for the evening.

HainesHisWay (http://www.haineshisway.com/)
Okay I tried this 5 times and it finally worked.
I've been lazy and don't do it when I should, probably because I often need a couple of tries to get it to work properly.
-
DR Druxy,
Did you figure out THE GAME before it ended?
I didn't figure out the ending of THE GAME. In fact, I never do figure out twist endings. It always amuses me how people say they figured the twist ending of a film five minutes after it started. Like, yes - I always believe them!
I know a few people who said that they knew the "twist" in "The Sixth Sense." Good for them. I didn't and was completely gobsmacked when it was revealed! I wouldn't have wanted to know that the first time I saw it. I have also seen the director's next two films, but I didn't see any more than that...I don't know why.
I agree with you DR George. I had been told there was a huge twist, but I tried to just put it aside and I was surprised. I hate it when people tell me either that there is a twist or what it is. I love to be surprised. I think that's part of the reason I like to ether try to see a movie shortly after it's released or long after the buzz has settled and I don't remember what was said about it
I agree and when I saw Sixth Sense I was not aware there was a surprise/twist and didn't anticipate it.
-
Orchestrator Larry Moore, who is mighty good at unearthing, reassembling and providing the missing pieces of vintage musical comedies, has done just that.... The musical restoration by Moore appears to be excellently done, and New World Records, which years ago gave us a splendid recording of Rodgers and Hart's Babes in Arms, has done a fine job.
Congrats! Nice to see you getting some much deserved recognition
DITTO!!!!

I want to know if DR RLP has been drinking himself blind this weekend with his new Mr. Coffee Latte Machine?

We took a trip into town just to go to the library. FINALLY Keith has his own library card!!!
He needed a book to listen. I looked at my wish list when we returned home and one of his books just became available this afternoon. He has checked it out and downloaded it. He put a hold on another book that I didn't have room for.

He ignored it because he didn't get a free copy, I'm sure.
As for the review, well, let's just say that I hear Rodgers all over his. Hart, too.
-
Yeah for Keith. Everyone should have a library card

It's a beautiful day here. I managed to realign the window well covers I made a couple years ago. I need to do more work on them, but not up to it. It's in the 60s. I have lots of windows open and the cats have been enjoying the day sitting on the window sills. I'll keep them open as long as I can. I love to air the house out
-

A library card is cheaper :)
-
Yeah for Keith. Everyone should have a library card
I was laughing about when he owned his last card. I think it may have been in Los Angeles, unless Detroit gave him a card because he was on their board but I don't think so.
He always used my card or purchased what he wanted or got freebies through work.
-
I'm very pleased Keith enjoyed "Open and Shut" which I highly recommended for him. I went to the library looking for a few more books to put on his wish list only they didn't have any of them.
-
I have one, but I never use it. I used to check out audio books when I was on the road more, but then I went through a phase where I rarely was in the car myself when traveling for work, so I just decided to forget it. I know I can use the ebooks on my nook but I haven't done it

Here are Rob and Mary Linda at a Halloween party last night:

That's great. I have a Library of Congress card, not that I ever expect to return. I should take it when we visit Craig.

As for the review, well, let's just say that I hear Rodgers all over his. Hart, too.
I would guess since he reviewed the songs and DEAREST ENEMY that he's on NewWorld's mailing list and that he got EILEEN. Since he hates/fears operetta (although I'm sure he loves A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC and CAROUSEL), I am guessing he opted not to review it. I was certain he'd hate DEAREST ENEMY.

Back from a productive rehearsal, after an initial annoyance when one of our cast didn't show up - said cast member never bothered to even look at any of his subsequent e-mails about the schedules - he had the very first one, when we hadn't settled on the Sunday rehearsal. Every one after that had Sunday on it and there were at least four reminders sent. He arrived ninety minutes late and then I had to take the next hour and put him into the number I'd just finished blocking. He wasn't happy at the beginning, nor was I, although I was patient and calm and nice about it. Hopefully, e-mails will be opened and read after this. I then did the opening of act two and got the positions set for another group number, and with the exception of one solo and one duet and the finale, everything is blocked and I'm just hoping that everyone wrote down their stuff so that I don't have to spend hours redoing things I've done. I think the next three rehearsals are going to tell the tale in terms of everyone getting these songs in their heads and movement in their bodies. If, on Friday, when I begin to assemble the various parts into a whole, everyone is on top of everything, then I think we'll be just fine. If not, then I may have to be a little more insistent.

After that, I drove home, stopped at the donut place and, surprise of surprises, no chocolate peanut butter thing - I swear, they have NEVER been out of it EVER, but the day after I write lovingly about it, they're magically out of it and two hours earlier than I was there yesterday when they had it. Coincidence? I don't believe in them.
-
Then I had a chili cheese and onion omelet and an English muffin and no potatoes. Now I'm home. There was a benefit meeting tonight at eight-thirty, but there was no way I was leaving to go, so it's been cancelled and I've told everyone that this coming week I will not be available for anything at anytime, other than Kritzerland and the show.
-
Yeah for Keith. Everyone should have a library card
I use mine a lot. Although less since I got an ereader and use netgalley (free ebooks). I don't buy regular priced books for my ereader. I still request those from my library. But there are so many authors I love that have their ebooks priced under $4. Lots of times I wait until I see a sale. I do suggest a ton at my library (so basically they buy the books I want). But there are tons of lesser known authors. And since i have giftcards at amazon and the ebooks are very reasonable i just buy them. Also a lot of the series I read have novellas that come out only as ebooks. So i buy a lot of those (they are usually $1.99-$4.00).

I think I can only get a free card from the suburb where I live. So i belong to a different library than my niece. But I take out books for her. And sometimes my sister takes out books for me (and she often borrows books i've taken out for myself at my library).

I just watched "Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited: The Tenth Doctor: David Tennant." They showed the episodes "The Stolen Earth" and "Journey's End" where the Earth and 26 other planets are stolen. Rose Tyler (who came back from the alternate universe), Jackie Tyler (Rose's mom), Mickey Smith, Sarah Jane Smith (no relation), Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones (from Torchwood), Martha Jones (no relation to Ianto), and Donna Noble all in the same episode to save the Earth and the other planets from the Daleks.

Good evening. That's all.

I'm watching a documentary on OWN called "Bridegroom (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2357788/reference)." Here's the synopsis from IMDb:
BRIDEGROOM tells the emotional journey of Shane and Tom, two young men in a loving and committed relationship - a relationship that was cut tragically short by a misstep off the side of a roof. The story of what happened after this accidental death - of how people without the legal protections of marriage can find themselves completely shut out and ostracized - is poignant, enraging and opens a window onto the issue of marriage equality like no speech or lecture ever will. On May 7, 2012, the anniversary of Tom's death, after a year of documenting his own grief, Shane decided to make a video tribute to his partner entitled "It Could Happen To You." This film, posted on YouTube, received over 3.2 million hits and inspired over 50 thousand e-mails and comments on YouTube and Facebook. The impact of Shane's original film and the raw nerve it touched, tells us this is an important story that needs to be brought to the world stage.
-
"Bridegroom" will be available for purchase on November 19th (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EU8RB14/).

Before that, I recorded two episodes of Oprah's Next Chapter: "At Hope With Neil Patrick Harris, His Fiancé David Burtka and Their Twins," and "Gay in Hollywood." This was a discussion that Oprah had with Wanda Sykes, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Dan Bucatinsky. I watched this but haven't watched the NPH episode, yet.
-
Evidently, it's Gay Day on Oprah's OWN Network!

I just finished watching "Bridegroom." It's sad, touching and a wonderful documentary. I'm definitely going to buy it.
