Title: STOP AND SNAP
Post by: bk on October 14, 2014, 12:28:28 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes had both stop and snap and pots and pans, and now it is time for you to post until the stop and snap cows come home.

Speaking of "Edge of Tomorrow," my library ordered 5 copies of it and they just came in.  There are 42 holds, so it was rushed through.  I have the very first hold, so I should get my copy today. ;) Also, the record is searchable by the alternate title of "Live, die, repeat : Edge of tomorrow"...just in case anyone else is confused by what the title is.

Well, I have a meeting in the morning, right when I'm normally supposed to get to work, so I need to get to work earlier than usual.  It's with a rep from one of our very minor jobbers, so it shouldn't be a very long meeting.

After work, I have a fund raiser committee meeting for Theater Artists Olympia's "TAO of the Dead 2," and then call-backs for TAO's next production, an original musical adaptation called "The Head That Wouldn't Die," based on the movie "The Brain That Wouldn't Die."  Should be interesting...they had the first round of auditions on Saturday and Sunday, but no women auditioned!  There are a couple of female roles that have been pre-cast, but they still need a couple of other women.  HOPEFULLY, some will show up tonight.

In 1968 my father took me to see the motion picture Paper Lion at the late Atwater Cinema. Sometime during the running of the film they stopped it and the lights came up. Many policemen and firemen came in with flashlights looking under the many seats. At that period of time in the history of Quebec and Montreal there were a lot of bomb threats and actually bombings. I remember we watched the rest of the film standing at the back of the cinema. My mother gave my father the riot act for not talking me out of there and right home.

Good morning, all! Another Paint Your Wagon day and a call at some point toJoshie; he's feeling a bit like a piece of taffy this past week, pulled hither and thither between the Encores! Gala, The Bandwagon, and the regular Encores! season, and I want to hear how he's coping.

That's my day. No money, no leaving home. Tomorrow, when my social security lands, I can step out to Toyland.

I think I've mentioned this once before in some context or other, but the craziest thing for me was probably the stink bomb being set off and the temporary evacuation of the Fox Venice during a showing of C*CKS*CKER BLUES in the mid-'70s. 

A memorable evening, even if I recall almost nothing about the film itself.

And a memorable smell.   :)

I took all of my younger brothers and sisters to see a movie....probably BENJY or BIGFOOT.....my brother Dane was sitting between my sister Myrna and I.

I went to hand Myrna her Coke - in a nice paper cup with ice - Dane was leaning up in his chair....just as my hand got behind him, he leaned back.

The Coke went all over him, and he was wearing the ice like a dunce cap.....the entire theatre was most amused....

I once went to the local revival theater to see "Singin' in the Srain" on the big screen. The print they received was missing the last reel but they had the finale of "An American in Paris." So that's how they closed out the screening.

TOD - During the end-of-year holidays in 1988, we took Rob, age 3, to his first theater movie, Disney's Oliver and Company.  The coming attractions had already started when we arrived, so the theater was dark.  As soon as the credits were over and the lights came up after the movie, Rob shot out of his seat and ran down front to examine the wall beneath the screen.  When we asked him what he was doing, he said he was looking for where they put the video in.

I was in a theater watching "Gladiator".   It is one of those theaters that has a cup holder and I had a large soda in the one by my seat.  I had my jacket over the back of the seat.   I got up for a quick trip to the men's room.   When I returned, a woman was in my seat.

I approached her and said, "You're in my seat."  She looked at me suspiciously and said, "There are plenty of other seats in this theater that are unoccupied."

"Yes," I agreed, "but those seats don't have my soda in the cup holder and my jacket on the back of the seat.  The one you are in DOES have those things."

She jumped up and scurried away.

I woke up this morning in more pain than usual. Called out from work. Was able to see my knee doctor. Somehow a crack in the bone developed from the last time a MRI was taken in July (or the MRI didn't pick it up)

I am now out of work and off my feet for the next 4 weeks. They've order me a walker and a wheelchair.

We had a theater downtown called the Olympic - I went quite often when I was at LACC - three movies for under a buck and always older movies from the late 50s/early 60s but not a revival house.  They showed Auntie Mame one week - with the reels out of order - it was surreal but not as surreal as the guy who died while it was showing.

I can't really think of anything, other than being stuck in the theater when the original Columbus Day Storm hit.  I will always remember Mr. Spencer. the theater owner, standing in front of the exit doors, screaming, "No one leaves here, until they have called their parents and their parents have come to pick them up."


I guess we were lucky that we had no orphans in the theater, or kids who had parents that were out of town.

Back from a wonderful and productive meeting with Sandy.  The best part was Doug Haverty had eighteen cover designs for us to look at - all good, but two really stood out for Sandy and me, and one of them in particular.  So, I think that one will be the cover and a couple of others are fantastic and will absolutely be the back cover or the front cover of the booklet inside or the inlay card.

I want to state it again, even though it's sooooo obvious.  We're all different people.  Occasionally there are postings here that are irksome in one way or another - guess what?  I pay them no mind and move on.  I don't take them personally should they not happen to jibe with my thinking, I just read and move on or skip them entirely.  The fact that people make their new home Facebook is more sickening to me than anything - that bastion of obnoxious, thoughtless, mind-numbingly idiotic place where people behave in ways that they would never do in front of people, posting any and everything without checking its veracity (90% of the time usually fake or false), posting completely unacceptable photos of horrible things and on and on and on.  All the while gathering all your information and sharing it with the world.  I would remind everyone that we were here long before Facebook and we will probably be here long after - My Space anyone - people are already tired of the Facebook crap.  In the last two weeks along seven people I know have shut down their accounts and who can blame them. 

I have written my final PM to MBarnum - he can do whatever he wants because I've just had it with this silliness and it IS silliness.  And of course the posts he was offended by could have been easily skipped and we've had much worse on this board.  Blechhh, I say.

I think I've mentioned this story before, but I missed the first 15 minutes of "The Queen" in 2007 because a dispute between two movie theatre patrons became so incensed, and starting drawing in those around them, with yelling and screaming, that the whole theatre became embroiled in it. With all the yelling, the movie was drowned out. Finally one (or both) of the parties was removed by the management (to the applause of the rest of us), but they refused to start the movie over.


After that, I vowed to watch movies only at home, and I have pretty much stuck to that.

I originally only joined MySpace because I was doing my first show with Theater Artists Olympia (it was their first production of "Cannibal! The Musical") and they sent out a lot of information through MySpace.  It really wasn't a specific choice that I made.  When FB came along, they all migrated over and dropped MS for info disbursement, so I migrated as well.  I really don't use it for much more than TAO stuff and just reading what other people post.  I rarely update my status.

Post by: Jrand74 on October 14, 2014, 03:22:40 PM
FB is a great communication tool when you are doing a show....you can contact everyone at once with the same message.  More immediate and easier to respond than with email.  That's my favorite part of it.

And I like seeing pictures from friends and reading about what's going on.....but I don't need to know EVERYTHING that's posted there.

I'm just so bored of all this stuff.  And you can delete or block on Facebook, yes, but it all takes time and stuff STILL shows up on your newsfeed that is irritating in ways our little board never is.  I'm not writing him again - it's tiresome.  Yes, why WOULD he delete his account - so silly.  But it's like Pogue - he no longer visits here because he thinks Facebook is all about HIM.  It is to laugh.  More people saw his posts here than they do there although that isn't really the point.  He even said to me years ago when he first went there that Facebook was like having his own discussion board, hence why were we necessary.  If you have to ask that question, then by all means have your home on Facebook and forget all the lovely people who were so kind and supportive over the years.  Of course, they think they still have that on Facebook, but it ain't the same.  Then again, I could just shut this board down and do my notes and that would be that.  I'm really annoyed about MBarnum and not because of what was posted here, which was easily ignored.

And yes, Facebook can be a useful tool for getting the word out.  That is basically what I use it for but in will never EVER take the place of this board - THIS board is smaller, more communal, and we don't have to look at pictures of maimed animals and "share" totally bogus stories as if they were real, nor have to see normally smart people behaving like complete idiots.

TOD:

I was in a theater watching "Gladiator".   It is one of those theaters that has a cup holder and I had a large soda in the one by my seat.  I had my jacket over the back of the seat.   I got up for a quick trip to the men's room.   When I returned, a woman was in my seat.

I approached her and said, "You're in my seat."  She looked at me suspiciously and said, "There are plenty of other seats in this theater that are unoccupied."

"Yes," I agreed, "but those seats don't have my soda in the cup holder and my jacket on the back of the seat.  The one you are in DOES have those things."

She jumped up and scurried away.

In today's world she probably would have thrown your drink at you.



Or shot him.

If they want me to see animal abuse, give me a web address, and I will decide if I want to see it.  Don't post photos that I have to see while trying to eat dinner!  no one has the right to force me to see those photos.
