Feels like a Saturday here.  I'm leaving in a couple of hours for an overnight trip to the Colonial Theater in beautiful downtown Phoenixville, PA -- where I will once again attend the annual BLOBFEST runout which is this evening.  This has become a fun summer diversion that's easy to get to and easy to get back from. 

Friends and I will enjoy the street fair and festivities tomorrow morning and a double feature of THE BLOB and MOTHRA tomorrow afternoon, both in 35mm.  The theater is very alive and well and has added digital projection since last summer, but the key word here is "added" -- they didn't "convert".  They're keeping the 35mm projectors and running vintage films in 35mm whenever they can, bless their little pea picking hearts.

It was very tempting to plan on driving another half hour and enjoying a great Amish meal in Lancaster County, but that will be done on a separate visit with proper time allotted.

Anyhoo, I shall be E&T through the day, but will pop in this evening.

TOD:

The other night I watched Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI (on Criterion Blu-ray) for the first time in years.  For as often as I attended revival houses over the years, I've been a relative latecomer to feeling comfortable with Japanese cinema, and now I'm very much enjoying it.  This one's three and a half hours almost seemed to fly by.

I'll be watching A HARD DAY'S NIGHT when I'm back from this little weekend sojourn.  I might also pick up the Blu-ray of HELP, with which I had even more of an affinity back in the day.  I never had these on home video before, and haven't seen either of them, except for clips, since the 1960s.  Really looking forward to it.

Forgot one:

Last night I went to a theater and saw CHEF which is hardly a great film but was certainly a pleasant enough diversion.  The food parts are to die for, and it's a damned good thing I made a point of eating a decent meal beforehand.  If I'd been hungry in the theater I probably would have bloated myself on popcorn (at least this place has real buttered popcorn), or would have been distractedly ravenous throughout the movie and then not found anything remotely as satisfying as would have been appropriate afterward.

Opening night vibes for DR GEORGE.

Thanks to all for the vibes for STEEL MAGNOLIAS....we had a fine audience and the ladies did a nice job.  Of course while watching last night, I realized that the sound effects should have been for a hand gun instead of a rifle......but sometimes those things happen.  If we were still using the old system, I would just redo the disk....but since it's on the computer now and all the cues are "complicated", it will just stay as it is.....  The dogs and the music are nice, however for some reason they sound very muffled.

Good morning, all!  I slept late, ran to therapy, and i am home. I've got to take apart an area of my apartment, sort things, clean, and then re-assemble.

I've been  waiting for an answer from the Kern attorney this morning, but no word yet. I hope we have an answer by this afternoon or Monday.

Last night i watched 2/3 of the BBC mystery Death Comes To Pemberley, based on the P.D. James sequel to Pride and Prejudice.  I read the novel last September and enjoyed it, although it has none of Jane Austen's voice or tone.  The BBC version, which also has none of Austen's characters speaking like characters from 1812, has added more characters from the original novel who did not appear in the P.D. James book, and inserted some poorly executed flashbacks from the original novel that are not nearly so well done as the scenes in the last two BBC versions of P&P.

I'll watch part 3 tonight.

Last night I went to a theater and saw CHEF which is hardly a great film but was certainly a pleasant enough diversion.

I agree, a pleasant diversion, and the second science-fiction movie out this year starring Sofía Vergara. (I consider any movie where the world's hottest living woman is romantically linked to John Turturro and Jon Favreau to qualify as science fiction—especially if the plot calls for her to pay Turturro to have sex with her. Ah, Hollywood!)

I saw Sally Struthers as Miss Hannigan in ANNIE and as Miss Lynch in GREASE. She was hilarious in both shows.  The audiences loved her.

She opened GREASE - which begins with a reunion which sort of explained why all the high
school students were [at least] in their thirties.

People were still coming into the theatre and she stopped the show and asked their names...."Oh yes, I remember you, you were always late to class, too"....and she took her ample frame out into the audience moving between rows and "remembering" anecdotes about people whose feet she was stepping on....she walked behind us brushing up against us and apologizing....for the narrow aisles...

Of course my favorite put-down of latecomers was done by DAME EDNA.....she also stopped what she was doing and asked the group where they were from.....they told her....and then she said:

"Well.....I came all the way from Australia, and I got here on time...."

I saw Dame Edna in San Francisco several years back.  She was assessing the "look" of the audience and said, "I'm really shocked at how you've all dressed for the theater.  I feel like you're not quite out of bed yet."  She then put her hand over her eyes and looked up to the Loge and Balcony and said, "If you're dressed like this in the expensive seats who knows what 'they' must be wearing up there."

"One imagines trash bags."

She opened GREASE - which begins with a reunion which sort of explained why all the high
school students were [at least] in their thirties.

I recently learned that many stage productions of GREASE now contain the extra songs that were written expressly for the movie (such as the Robin Gibb-penned title song, as well as John Farrar's "Hopelessly Devoted to You"). The only version of GREASE I ever saw, which was performed here in L.A. at what used to be called the Wilshire Theatre near my house, was a faithful rendering of the original concept musical. Do you folks have an opinion about this? I can appreciate both sides, but I'd rather see the original musical; if I wanted to see the movie, I'd watch the movie. Would audiences revolt if they didn't hear what is basically a Bee Gees song in "Grease"?

That does seem to be the trend these days, DR BrettySphaghetti. I, like you, prefer my stage musicals sans movie permutations. They are different media, after all.

Just to be clear.  I did like The Silkworm, I just thought it was a little on the long side. I liked The Cuckoo's Calling better.  I probably said it, but I love the characters of Robin and Cormoran Strike although I think I imagine Strike to be older than he is.   You learn more about them in this one which was fun.    Can't wait to read the next one
