Post by: bk on August 19, 2014, 12:02:33 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes prayed for Rosemary's Baby for naught, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently watching the MOOniseries of RoseMOOry's Baby.

Topic of the Day:  Andromeda Strain (the TV series).  I didn't even watch much of it, but it was not good at all.

I remember seeing the commercials for the remake of "Rosemary's Baby," and I like the actor who plays the husband (but not enough to watch the movie).  He's on "Suits," which I also like.

Good morning, all.

Up an hour or so too early, but I'll try to grab a nap later.  That will be important, as tonight's a rehearsal night.

Good morning, all! I slept well, and i will soon leave for physical therapy.

I could tell from the TV ads that the remake of "Rosemary's Baby" was going to be a stinker. Why bother? I catch enough TV stinkers unaware.

On a happier note, I was notified by a friend that the "Roberta" recording is now up for pre-order on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Roberta-Jerome-Kern/dp/B00MTZWDPE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408447571&sr=8-1&keywords=kern+roberta

DR TCB, I saw your vicious and cruel remark after I had dropped off the site last night.  Although I understand your jealousy and respect my elders, I would send you a bitchslap by USPS, but given their track record here, your chances of receiving it are small.

And I'm enjoying the two versions of the Time Warner commercial for Direct TV featuring the stars of SUITS!  (the one with the two male stars taking a deposition with the Time Warner representative)  Even more fun to see how they take much of the same footage and make two different-feeling ads out of it.

What book was vastly improved in it's film version?

L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, possibly the best movie to come out of Hollywood in the last 20 years.

After I saw the film, I read the book...and it was terrible

The screenwriters certainly deserved the Oscar they won, but the film should have also taken the Best Picture award over TITANIC.

Up and back from the dentist after too little sleep.


Since the area is so sore, they decided to postpone the prep for the crown until it has settled down, for which I was quite grateful. But the area is less sore today, and nothing else appears to be wrong, so that's good.

It is nice to have a movie version of ATLAS SHRUGGED - Part Three comes out in September - but the low budget did some harm....and in the novel, the leading lady gives up a diamond bracelet for a bracelet of Reardon steel.....in the movie, she gives up a diamond necklace.....why change an iconic exchange?

On a happier note, I was notified by a friend that the "Roberta" recording is now up for pre-order on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Roberta-Jerome-Kern/dp/B00MTZWDPE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408447571&sr=8-1&keywords=kern+roberta


Looking forward to getting this

But have three questions about the songs.

1) From what I know about Roberta I thought Clemintina was dropped from the show before it opened. So why is this song in the show and not an Appendix?

2) There is a song titled "You Inspire a Mad Desire" that was also dropped from the show. Wondering why it's not in the appendix of songs. Is this a "lost song" or an alternate title for another song?

3) Is Madrigal the same song as Alpha, Beta, Pi?

Thanks. Looking forward to hearing it

Don't believe everything you read.

1. "Clementina" was not cut; it was reduced to next to nothing and we recorded the complete original number.
2. If you know Roberta so well, you should know that "Alpha Beta Pi" is titled "Madrigal" on all previous recordings.
3. Nothing exists on "You Inspire A Mad Desire."

It's amazing how many idiots on the imdb and even some actual critics call this miniseries a basically faithful remake, but "reimagined."
It is about as unfaithful a remake as has ever been done.  It is made up of nothing but add-ons by the terrible screenwriters.  One terrible plot addition after another, one horrifically awful piece of dialogue after another.  In the original novel, even though it's written in the third person, you never go away from Rosemary - it's all seen through her eyes, so you never have a scene with the Castevets in which she is not present.  It's a device I am very fond of, and all of my novels are written that way - third person but always the through the lead character's eyes with no scenes taking place away from them that the character is not privy to.  Writer's Block and Rewind are the obvious exceptions, but those both have conceits in the storytelling, which is why they are exceptions.

I like Druxy's question. I was recently watching the British DCI BANKS. I was surprised to find that it was based on novels by Peter Robinson. I'd read him some years ago, but something about his style just rubbed me the wrong way. I quite liked the adaptations, though.

I really disliked the Caroline Graham mystery I read, but enjoyed many of the MIDSOMER MURDERS episodes. In this case, though, I knew exactly what I disliked about the books.

Jeanne was right and I should have just written our host immediately - at some point we just completely went down.  Apparently these bot spammers from Russia and China are working overtime to crash sites, trying to cause havoc - they ultimately don't, but boy they do try - and I wish the people responsible a slow, painful death by rectal cancer.  And I MEAN it.

It occurs to me that the miniseries of Rosemary's Baby played more like a remake of The Omen.  One of the truly botched moments that actually survived from the Levin book and original film, and one of that film's best scenes, is where Rosemary is given the book Hutch left for her.  Of course, in this film there IS no Hutch - she just happens to find the book in a secret passageway.  Really?  Note to screenwriters - you are not better than Ira Levin.  In the original Hutch writes "The name is an anagram."  Rosemary thinks he means the title of the book, All of Them Witches, but our brilliant new screenwriters just put the name is an anagram right next to the NAME of the person whose name is an anagram.  And she figures THAT out in, oh, three seconds.  Brilliant.  Give these boys an EMMY for being the crassest, stupidest screenwriters EVER.  In this version, Rosemary has a best girlfriend who just happens to live in Paris, too.  She gets offed at some point (one might say she is the Hutch of this version - but not really), and her death is absolutely disgusting and now NBC gets to air violence like that (if this were a theatrical film it would be an R). 

The scene in the original where Mia Farrow literally throws some raw liver in a frying pan, let's it sear for about four seconds and then eats it is shocking because it's fast and subtle and she sees her image reflected in her toaster and it nauseates her.  In our new brilliant screenwriters version, she pulls the innards out of a turkey and stuffs just about all of them in her mouth vociferously without any attempt at even searing them - I mean, it's like Night of the Living Dead time.  Then she gets ill.  The reason the original works is because it is - and I know this is a word these brilliant screenwriters haven't learned yet - PLAUSIBLE.  Everything in Levin's book and the film of it is PLAUSIBLE which is why it's so effective and has aged beautifully.  NOTHING in the remake is PLAUSIBLE - not one BLOODY thing.

I'm not a big fan of scary movies, either, but I'm watching an extremely violent one called "Oldboy." It was made in Korea and earned the Quentin Tarantino seal of approval. Spike Lee even did a remake. But I've never seen the original, so I thought I'd give it a try. It's dubbed, which means it's unintentionally funny at times. The violence, however, is horrifying, so I'm not exactly "watching" all of it.

I didn't like the movie at all.  I didn't bother to watch the miniseries.

I'm trying to take more steps and sit less at the computer.  I have been trying to comment less even though I'm reading. 

Back to working outside.

I'm glad some of the fitness people have recognized that we don't have to exercise strenuously for it to be helpful. I, too, am on the computer too much. You have such a wonderful nature area right outside your door, too!


I don't to that much work outside compared to Keith.  What I am doing makes my hip hurt and that makes it hard for me to sit long, another good reason to get off the computer.  It is sure pretty out there.
