As I got into bed last night I felt, for the first time in a while, an allergy related tightness in my breathing, and I thought it just wouldn't hurt to pop a DOLL   Benadryl. 

I didn't heed the voice.  At four in the morning I got up for a quick trip to the bathroom, and upon returning to bed, had a sudden and prolonged sneezing fit.  I immediately realized my folly and got up again to take the damned thing...and it was exactly what I needed.

Now, ensconced in the recliner, I'm feeling much better -- but drowsy, which don't hurt none either because I didn't get a really good night's sleep, so even with some coffee in me I might just get a little more shut-eye.

DR Elmore, you asked about a band for next year's Merrily --

It's a challenge, figuring out how to get the most (correct) sound from the few musicians the place can accommodate in the tiny space.  That's always an issue there, and it was my one misgiving about picking this particular show.

Yes DR JOHN G the CinemaScope version of OKLAHOMA! is what we've been seeing all of these years.

A couple of the Amazon reviews point out the problems with the Todd-AO transfer because of the deterioration of the original elements - and perhaps someone here can comment further.  But it is a DIFFERENT film.....the Todd-AO scenes were filmed first, then they were restaged slightly for CinemaScope....it is thought that most of the actors did their BEST in the Todd-AO process since it was the one that was supposed to be seen in the BIG theatres.....

In fact I think the reason Frank Sinatra quit CAROUSEL was that when he found out they were going to have to do TWO movies, he wanted a double salary.  After he quit, they found a way to do only it only once....I think it was called CinemaScope 55 or something like that.

Even though the TODD-AO version isn't in the best shape, some of the scenes and some of the performances are better.....at least I think so.....but I am not two former DR's who are experts at this sort of thing.

Thank you, JRand. I will probably end up watching both, but it's good to know which is which.

Pabst, when he filmed 3Penny Opera, filmed the German company by day and the French company on the same sets and in the same costumes, at night.

Title: Re: DAY OF THE WEEK UNDERPANTS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on October 20, 2016, 09:58:32 AM
To my mind, the most recent Blu ray of "Oklahoma" (Todd-AO) is light years better than previous versions.  It looks pretty spiffy.

Here's what Robert A. Harris had to say in his comments about this film at Home Theater Forum:

"Oklahoma! is a magnificent, problem film.  Always has been.  Always will be.

Photographed in the original 30fps 65mm spherical Todd-AO process, the immense negative was created to be projected on huge curved screens at special Roadshow performances -- a concept replicating the legitimate theater.

An early Eastman Color 5248 production, the film's dyes have not stood the test of time.

As viewed from the original negative (which shows the wear and tear of more than half a century of use), or even from the most recent 65mm interpositive, produced long after the original had lost much of its yellow dye layer,  the imagery flickers, has uneven fading, and does not allow reproduction of the film as it was meant to be seen.

Wet-gate printing of the original neg to the IP solved a number of problems, the greatest of which would have been an image filled with positive and negative scratches and wear.

​Without our current digital tools, which have been used here to perfection, Oklahoma! would not be a pleasant experience on Blu-ray, and even less so on the large screen.  It's really by an odd confluence of events, the original elements going through restoration while there is still enough life in them to make them work, and the 8k scanning and 4k digital tools necessary to make the film appear as it should.

​When the restoration of Oklahoma! was premiered at the Chinese for the opening of the Turner Fest several weeks ago, I left the theatre thrilled with what I had seen and heard.  The only problem with the performance was not the fault of the film, but rather with the theatre's silver screen (a necessity for 3D projection) which yielded impossibly uneven illumination.

I probably look at films of this type a bit differently than the normal viewer, but even from my odd perspective, grain structure (which was unavoidably very slightly heightened - no, you won't notice it), resolution, black levels, color, overall image stability and cleanliness, were all magnificent.

Projection at 30fps yields an even sharper, and slightly more grain-free image, which comes across as a very special experience.  Because of the film's projection speed, any horizontal movement occurs cleanly, and without "picket fencing."

Bottom line is that Fox's Schawn Belston has taken a project in serious need of heavy (and expensive) restorative efforts, and delivered.  In spades.

To my eye, the new Blu-ray (part of the new Rogers & Hammerstein Collection) is one of the most exciting releases in the last few years.  Replicating the 30fps projection produces an extremely beautiful and stable image, while the uncompressed audio correctly reproduces the original magnetic recordings -- originally run separately from the image via dubbers.

Those who like to contrast and compare are welcome to view the 35mm alternative, also included in the set (along with The Sound of Music, South Pacific, State Fair, Carousel and The King and I).

You can do it.  But I wouldn't recommend it, as the difference is so huge, it makes the 35mm version appear far less stellar than it really is.  And there's nothing wrong with it.

The restored Oklahoma! on Blu-ray is the closest that fans will get to seeing the film as it was created and meant to be seen, short of finding a theatrical 4k screening, which hopefully will be forthcoming.

A great film, directed by the incomparable Fred Zinnemann, finally on Blu-ray in absolute top form.

Image - 5

Audio - 5

Very Highly Recommended.

RAH"

I guess that review has confused me - he talks about the BluRay being great - it is - but says the second disk is the 35mm CinemaScope version.....maybe there is more than one BluRay release.

I think the TODD-AO was used for a VHS version years ago as well....but I am not sure.

When "Oklahoma!" was released on Laserdisc back in the 1990s, it was the Todd-AO version (for the first time on home video) and it looked great.   When it came out on DVD, paired with the CinemaScope version, they were both very bad.

The Blu-ray offers both versions in excellent transfers.

If you have the caplets that can be cut in half try doing so.

Funny story...or semi-funny...or, well, at least somewhat relevant:

I used to routinely take a half-caplet of Tylenol PM when I needed help sleeping through a night.

That pretty much stopped when I began using my C-PAP, because my sleep became more regular/controlled/sound with this aid.

One recent night, I needed to go to bed but didn't feel sleepy at all, so I cut a caplet in half.

Oy!  I was sluggish for most of the next morning even with 8 hours of sleep!   My guess is that since I'm on a blood thinner, the effects of the caplet half were enhanced by the drug being moved through my system.

Does that make sense?

Tackled the classical CDs part one.  Got rid of about thirty things I'll never ever play or duplicates with different conductors - I was quite obsessive when I was really collecting stuff.  Part two coming shortly.  Found about twenty CDs to put into iTunes - listening now to Peter Maxwell Davies' incredible dance arrangements for The Boyfriend and his score for The Devils.  This would be one of my all-time favorite CDs if not for inept producing and sound that sounds like it was recorded about two blocks away from the microphones.  Just awful.  But amazing arrangements.

High of 85 degrees in DC today.   The forecasted high for Saturday is 59.

Enjoy the warmer days while they last.

Jane, yes, the Arnica Rub I like is by NatraBio. I see there is also one by A.Vogel, but that one is straight Arnica, the herb. The NatraBio product is a homeopathic combination product.

My cousin swears by Australian Dream for arthritis. I haven't tried it, but it has good reviews. She also uses Arnica for EVERYTHING, except when she's using Australian Dream.  :)

Classical CDs part two is finished - lots of importing to do - found my missing Ogerman CD, plus stuff I haven't heard in years or even decades - so will be fun to hear some of this again.  Villa-Lobos, Satie, Moross, Milhaud, some American composers I like, Finzi, Ikuma Dan, Joblin and some more Dello Joio.  Oh, and Malcolm Arnold's A Grand, Grand Overture for symphony orchestra and vacuum cleaner.

DR Jeanne this is much appreciated.  So far I don't think it is doing much.  I am only using on one small area to test it.  I may need to switch to these options.

Today I finally found, and made appointments, with primary physicians that accept new patients with medicare.  It was a lot of work finding them.  There are two internists in the office so we each took one and made our appointments for the same time.

I ADORE THE GRAND. Susan Hampshire is great as the very classy retired prostitute. And Mark McGann is so wonderful as the slumlord. (You probably know his brother as the doctor in CALL THE MIDWIFE. Those McGann boys get around.)

You're welcome. Ming Chew, author of THE PERMANENT PAIN CURE, recommends Traumeel, but he says you have to use it several times a day and really rub it in. That may be true for all of them. Heel, the company that makes Traumeel, was purchased by another company recently and some people have complained that now Traumeel isn't as good as it was. But Ming's recommendation was for pain in general. For arthritis I think you're best with Topricin or Australian Dream or other arthritis-oriented product.

Around here we call them "Get-What-You-Pay-For" nights.

We also did a couple of shows with a "Pay What It's Worth" night, where you pay at the end of the evening what you thought it was worth.  Comparing those with our PWYC nights, there wasn't much of a percentage difference in what we took in.

I hope you find a doctor you like, Jane. We're in the open enrollment period, so if you don't like today's options you can change.

I hadn't really expected to find a doctor that accepted medicare.  My goal was to find which insurance plans they accepted and if they would take us as new patients if we switched.  One office wasn't taking any kind of Medicare insurance, even Blue Cross.  I asked if they knew who did and received a referral to a practice I hadn't heard about.  To my surprise they were accepting new patients with medicare.
Title: Re: DAY OF THE WEEK UNDERPANTS
Post by: Jane on October 20, 2016, 09:54:39 PM
All the other doctors we have gone to since moving here have been specialist and they all take medicare patients.

Prepped everything for the announcement in the morning, only Doug Haverty is saying the audio samples I sent don't jibe with the times I'm asking for - only they do - and of course he's not home so I don't have any way of finding out what he's talking about.  And it has to announce so if he gets home late he'll just have to do it and I'll have to stay up until he does so I can make sure it's all correct.
