It is a Federal Holiday. The City and County work today, because they traded Columbus Day for Cesar Chavez Day (I think). There is garbage pick-up but no mail delivery.

Superior Court ids open, but the Court of Appeals and District Court are closed.

Very confusing.

Going to the movies on a holiday was a tradition for me, not my family. Maybe it was a way for me to get some privacy. I remember seeing Bergman's Magic Flute on Christmas Day for two or three years running. I may have to take the DVD with me this year.

Ah, Monday. And a holiday for some. For me, the start of four blessed days off from the show, with just the closing weekend to go. But there is lots of work to do around here, such as getting a start on blowing and raking the first leaves, and other fall cleanup.

Coffee!

I've spent the morning reading the ending of Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex. It's the October selection for the book group that meets at the library where I began my career. I won't be able to attend the discussion because it's on the same day Richard is having carpal tunnel surgery, but I was engrossed in the book before I knew the date of the meeting. The Detroit setting was very evocative for me and now I want to read his other books.

I really haven't seen much this year that I really liked. Of course, I no longer go to movie theaters, so I haven't seen anything that hasn't come out onto DVD.

I did LOL at the remake of GAMBIT with Colin Firth. Thought it was quite funny.

The one thing that I really liked was the TV series of FARGO. It's out on DVD now and I would definitely recommend it.

I enjoyed PARADE very much....there were some very good performances in it, and all of the singers were very good....and the music was done very well.

A couple of the actors in supporting roles were weaker, but even they were terrific singers. I don't think I need to see the show again....but it is good.

Title: Re: GONE MOVIE
Post by: Druxy on October 13, 2014, 08:59:30 AM: We saw THE KING AND I yesterday at the ZACH. I had never seen it on stage before.

It was a terrific production (acting, costumes, sets, choreography, etc.) of a musical that I don't really care for that much. The score is magnificent, but the book is weak; slow moving. Her songs aside, the character of Anna is poorly written; not very interesting at all.

I'm sure most of you will disagree with me on that point. :)

So, why did I go to a play that I don't really like?

A friend of mine was playing Kralahome. He was very good in the role, as was the actor playing the King. Indeed, I thought he was better than Brynner.

Last night I streamed, for free, one of my favorite Allison Hayes films...DOUBLE JEOPARDY (1955) co-starring Rod Cameron and Jack Kelly. It was so nice to finally see an absolutely beautiful print of this film!

Some of Allison's other film(ish) noirs are available for streaming, including HONG KONG CONFIDENTIAL and COUNTERPLOT. Maybe PIER 5, HAVANA is there also, but I can't remember.

Well, yes, someone who slaughtered innocents and sold children as sex slaves is certainly not worthy of celebration. Do you think it should be replaced with something other than Indigenous Peoples Day?

Oregon has never really celebrated Columbus Day. Here it is mostly known only as the day a tragic storm came though killing several people and causing huge damage in the northwest part of the state back around 50 years ago.

I like the score to "Roberta" considerably better than Mr. Suskin, but he at least gives some credit where it's due.

Mr Suskin has panned every recording I've worked on with New World Records, but for someone who is hired to review music, he's no musician and he's very condescending about period musicals. He's much more eager to deflect his tiny musical knowledge by how much he knows abut the show's production and how much he dislikes Harbach's lyrics.

Also, for someone who - he points out immediately - wrote a book on Broadway orchestrations, he says nothing about this recording's charts.

We don't have the day off. If I remember correctly, years ago state workers negotiated to work Columbus Day so that they could get the day after Thanksgiving off. That's why we have a four-day weekend at Thanksgiving. The library follows the state and federal holidays that the state workers get.

The more Suskin I read the less enamored I am with his writing. At least with the substance of his writing. He says very little of use but employs a lot of words.

We don't have the day off. If I remember correctly, years ago state workers negotiated to work Columbus Day so that they could get the day after Thanksgiving off. That's why we have a four-day weekend at Thanksgiving. The library follows the state and federal holidays that the state workers get.

Smart move to get the Friday off instead.

I enjoyed the novel Gone Girl. No, it wasn't great literature, but it was a fun read. Haven't seen the film.

I'm going to read the book. I really wonder if the ending is the same.

I would be surprised if they changed the ending. Please let me know.

I am glad it's Columbus Day. I don't mind celebrating him. Most of the people we celebrate have a dark side, so it is what it is. I'm glad because I don't feel well at all today and I can stay easily stay home

Seriously? You don't mind celebrating someone who murdered thousands? Pimped little kids? Dumped live humans overboard so he could use their dead bodies as directional devices?

Oh, boy, am I in the wrong place? Who else do we celebrate that committed atrocities on this scale? Please tell me, as I have no problem with being "politically correct" (a new fangled phrase for basic empathy combined with politeness) and would gladly stop celebrating holidays named after them!

Sorry friends. Maybe I am just in a wrong mood today, but this takes the cake.

Monday-- Columbus Day.

It is a Federal Holiday. The City and County work today, because they traded Columbus Day for Cesar Chavez Day (I think). There is garbage pick-up but no mail delivery.

Superior Court ids open, but the Court of Appeals and District Court are closed.

Very confusing.

We don't have the day off. If I remember correctly, years ago state workers negotiated to work Columbus Day so that they could get the day after Thanksgiving off. That's why we have a four-day weekend at Thanksgiving. The library follows the state and federal holidays that the state workers get.

The city and state here don't have the holiday but the federal courts, the banks and the post office do. It's confusing

I for one do think it is silly to continue celebrating this day & keep expecting it to be dropped.

We have a friend hiking in Spain today. I found this interest.
"Today, as we walked, we noticed a lot of stores closed and people riding their bikes on the roads. I ask the girl at the reception desk of our hotel is today a holiday. Yes it is. It is a national holiday. It is the day we commemorate as the day the Spanish discovered America. They don't call it anything else over here."

It's mastered a bit lower than our usual soundtracks, but I believe this was done so as to add almost no compression to it, rather than squash it a little to make it louder - so you just have to raise your volume level a db or two from its usual position and all is well. Best thing - the order just works perfectly.

I think he's mad because I said I didn't care if we celebrate Columbus Day because everyone we celebrate has a dark side. I didn't mean to upset him, I was just saying it doesn't bother me. I didn't realize that expressing that opinion would be so offensive to him

Maybe it was both. I expect my response would not have helped had he still been here. If you are reading Michael please come back. No one actually condones what was done, just different reactions to something that has always been a day off from work & Columbus Day is a part of our history. Hmm-think I will look up when it became a holiday.

Quote
One of the most beloved films of all time, The Wizard of Oz, can now be seen and heard in a magical new production. John Goberman, Emmy-Award winning producer of Live from Lincoln Center, and the creator of the acclaimed A Symphonic Night at the Movies, presents Oz with Orchestra.

The Wizard of Oz was a technical marvel for the MGM studio in the late 1930s. Today, MGM has stunningly re-mastered this timeless classic. The brilliantly restored images are accompanied by full symphony orchestra playing entirely new transcriptions of Harold Arlen’s brilliant lost scores. Hearing Judy Garland’s original 1939 studio recordings, backed by lush, live orchestration, will transport children and adults alike. With this version of The Wizard of Oz on the big screen, moviegoers will be treated to the Oscar-winning film as it has never been seen before.

In summer of 2005, the program premiered to sold out crowds at Wolf Trap and the Ravinia Festival. Claire Marie Blaustein of The Washington Post declared, “It was an exciting evening, and the grander message of this event was truly something I found in my own back yard – the five children sitting next to me…who had never seen the movie before. They were as enraptured at their first sights of the Emerald City as I was seeing it with new eyes.”
