TOD

Probably a film that never played in the US. I saw it in Toronto, Canada in 1971. It was a film version of a British comedy series called "On The Buses". It had a scene that was so funny that people were laughing so hard and long that people around me (including myself) were doubled up. I don't think I laughed as long or hard in any movie.

TOD

 I cannot think of a movie  moment  but   the TOD brought me back to when Vixdad and I went to see Nunsense off Broadway  many many moons ago

Vixdad has a very infectious belly laugh, and when he is really  amused he folds up, tears running down his face, helpess with laughter

He was already in  laugh mode when  Sister Mary Amnesia  collapsed back on he bed revealing the soles of her shoes with  "Left" and "Right"  written on them,  and they were on the wrong feet

he just collapsed with laughter which set  all the rest of the audience off again,   "Mother Superior",  tapping her palm with her ferule, climbed the stairs to our row and sternly told him  that if he couldn't control himself she would send him to  detention... which just set him and seconds later the rest of the audience off again... he probably added  15 minutes to the running time of the show that day

Title: Re: THE LONG, LONG BOOK SCENES OF MONDAY
Post by: FJL on April 22, 2014, 06:06:17 AM
Recalling Frank Rich's description of the laughter at CITY OF ANGELS:

"This is an evening in which even a throwaway wisecrack spreads laughter like wildfire through the house, until finally the roars from the balcony merge with those from the orchestra and the pandemonium takes on a life of its own. Only the fear of missing the next gag quiets the audience down. To make matters sweeter, the jokes sometimes subside just long enough to permit a show-stopping song or performance or two to make their own ruckus at center stage."

Good morning, all! I slept late and I'm in a peculiar mood today: can't move left, can't move right. I'm not sure what's causing this stasis, but I am neither amused nor happy about it. I'm sure part of it's the clutter I'm currently living in while the contents of my bathroom are all over my living area and every trip to the bathroom means digging through cartons and plastic bags for things. Color me frustrated.

I do have my Cincinnati orchestration to work on, although I still hate the orchestration they use, so I will continue with that since it's the one thing that I can focus positively on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Good vibes for everyone today!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time for the TOD, and then I must be off.  One memory that always stayed with me:

There's a gag in the movie "10" that, the two times I went to it (in L.A., and then while in Miami Beach a few months later), came as close to stopping the show that a moment in a movie can do.  (It was probably the best Blake Edwards gag setup in the whole damned movie.)  The minister's old, deaf, shuffling, housekeeper farts loudly on her way out of the room -- whereupon the dog, heretofore napping contentedly, jolts awake and runs from the room like a bat out of hell.  The minister explains to his guest, "Whenever Mrs. Kissel breaks wind, we beat the dog", and the audience exploded.  It's the end of that scene, and Edwards and his editor knew their business.  The transition to the next scene is a prolonged shot or series of shots that's just plain filler, allowing the laughter to play itself out and die down without anyone missing whatever followed.

TOD:

It's been so long since I've seen a movie in a theater that I don't really remember a lengthy laugh.

I do recall that, when we watched BRIDESMAIDS on DVD, I was laughing so hard that we had to put the film on "Pause" for a couple of minutes.

If you saw the movie, I'm sure you know what scene I'm talking about.

Sad news. Actor Craig Hill passed away yesterday at his home in Madrid, Spain.  :(

He starred in the old tv series WHIRLYBIRDS and made some rather enjoyable B movies in the early 1960s. I think he was one of Henry Willson's clients.

Later in the 1960s Hill went to Europe to make Spaghetti westerns.

Blake Edwards' 10 has a couple of other moments like the dog moment - one memorable one is a scene with Dudley Moore on a grassy hill.  No one did that stuff better than Blake.  And the filler shots to let the laugh die down were always a part of every great comedy.  I learned that lesson in Nudie Musical, where there were some laughs that went on so long that you couldn't hear anything that happened after - so we added some shots - but in our case, a couple of times the added shots doubled the laughs.  Go know.  The problem is that when these films are viewed at home by the kiddies who've never seen them, they don't understand why it's that way and they find the films slow - because in today's so-called comedies they NEVER do that - they don't care if stuff is missed if the film is lucky enough to actually get a laugh.

Good morning, all, and Happy Earth Day,

And Happy Birthday to DR Sandra!


It seems I picked up yet another reading of yet another new musical. One rehearsal last night and we're presenting it this evening?? Yipes! Actually, it's a kid's piece and quite funny, and it's already been sold. The reading is for the writers and the production team, and we present it at CSUN this evening.

Then tomorrow, one session for the table read that happens this Saturday, a one nighter in Colorado on Thursday, back home Friday, the table read Saturday, and a rehearsal for the vampire piece on Sunday, Sheesh! I sound almost as busy as BK!!  I said almost.    :D

I agree, Blake Edwards did that stuff so brilliantly. Some of the moments in the Clouseau movies: I think of them I still laugh.
Almost too many to mention. One fave - the laughing gas scene with Clouseau disguised as Albert Einstein in the castle.
And he slid some of those into "Victor, Victoria" as well - that moment when the detective sits on the stool in the club after the melee.
"Be careful". "I'm always careful", replies the detective. And a half second later, he disappears behind the bar when his stool breaks.

I always loved the interrogation scene in The Pink Panther (I think) when Clouseau is walking around the room telling people he solved the crime and keeps tripping and then comes to a climactic moment and a woman screams because he stepped on her toe.....

I LOVE that scene (I believe it's from one of the sequels). It has one of those lines that always makes me laugh. After he destroys the piano trying to swat a bee with the mace stuck on his hand, the woman cries, "That was a priceless Steinway!"  "Not any moooah." say Clouseau.

I answered a toll free call to a voice that sounded like a computer was speaking.  The man asked to speak to Keith and when questioned said it was about his computer.  I knew this was going to be a good one and stayed in Keith's office while he spoke to the strange & funny voice on the other end.  Not long into the conversation I heard Keith say "Oh no, that is terrifying".  After I few other responses that made me laugh Keith mentioned this was the silliest call he has received in the last two weeks and that is saying a lot.

Title: Re: THE LONG, LONG BOOK SCENES OF MONDAY
Post by: Jane on April 22, 2014, 03:11:57 PM
With a quick google search Keith found the following:
Strange phone call from Microtech saying my computer has a virus (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/strange-phone-call-from-microtech-saying-my/7c65f13c-51ff-4b1b-b024-f4059696f51f).

I had a good laugh over the phone call even though the reality of what these people are doing is very annoying.

"These scammers simply play the odds.
Most people in developed countries have at least one computer in their home and the odds are very high that the computer will have a version of Windows installed.
They call random telephone numbers and present their scam. Eventually they will connect with a victim who is unknowledgeable about computers and will fall for the scam and give them their credit card information to pay for removing the so-called virus.
While they are removing the non-existent virus, they will also be downloading all of the victims personal information on the computer. They will get the victims email address book which has the information for many more potential victims to add to their call list.
This is a multi-million dollar business. The criminals are usually very well protected, since they operate from locations around the world that do not have a strong law enforcement presence. They may also have a legitimate business front that they use to process the credit card information that they collect.

The 'assoc' command displays all of the many file associations on the computer. When you run that command, the scammer will try and convince you that some of that information proves that there is a virus on the computer."

I have come to find out that you can buy landline phones that you are able to connect to your cell phone so that you can use a 'regular' phone handset instead of your cell phone. It is particularly nice for when you are charging your cell phone, but you want to make calls.

Just look for phones that have "link to cell" or "connect to cell" capability.

Was anyone else aware of this? Or am I just late to the game?

Speaking of current technology, I have still not gotten my Blu Ray player to work properly; it simply will not connect with my wi-fi (so that I can watch Amazon.com and Netflix movies, etc.).

I had Comcast help me and they tried; I called LG, who made the machine, and they tried to help, but finally said it was likely a defective player.

Bleh!!

So, now I need to get hold of the place I ordered it from and I know that they will want me to send it back.

I have come to find out that you can buy landline phones that you are able to connect to your cell phone so that you can use a 'regular' phone handset instead of your cell phone. It is particularly nice for when you are charging your cell phone, but you want to make calls.

Just look for phones that have "link to cell" or "connect to cell" capability.

Was anyone else aware of this? Or am I just late to the game?

I've never heard of this.  That would be pretty cool.

Saw in the news today that the idiot mayor who said that he "partly agreed" with the mind-set of the guy who shot those people at the Jewish Center the other week, has resigned.

Some of his quotes were just too ridiculous! For instance, he felt that far too much of the Federal govt was run by Jews. He pointed out Nancy Pelosi as an example, saying that she flaunted the fact that she was a Jew.

Nevermind that Nancy Pelosi is Catholic! LOL!

Today I wanted into the dental office and almost bumped into an older man who looked a lot like Dick Van Dyke. He left just after that. It seemed eh had good reason to look like Dick Van Dyke, as he was Dick Van Dyke. The moment he left the buzz was, "Was that Dick Van Dyke?" "Yes, that was Dick Van Dyke."

Well, it's time to head for the theater.  Tonight will be two full run-throughs...runs-through?  At some point soon, the stage manager and I have to consolidate our scripts into one working script with the (very few) light and sound cues.  I don't know if he's actually written anything out, or if he's just been doing them on the fly.  I actually don't think that he has anything written down, yet.  Well, I need something written down.  We'll see.

He starred in the old tv series WHIRLYBIRDS and made some rather enjoyable B movies in the early 1960s. I think he was one of Henry Willson's clients.

Later in the 1960s Hill went to Europe to make Spaghetti westerns.

Tonight, we had one complete run-through of "Chamber Music."  There is one section on pages 8-9 that got skipped in each run-through the last three times!

The women would talk through that section after the regular run-throughs to re-familiarize themselves with it, but then they'd goober the next night.
