Title: Re: SIZZLING PARIS
Post by: bk on October 21, 2016, 06:34:55 AM: Paris When it Sizzles was a big flop back then, but you watch it today and it's just delightful and fun. As someone pointed out, it was meta before there was meta. Someone also pointed out that Kritzerland seems to be the label of Richard Quine - this is like the fourth Richard Quine movie we've done. Best of all, you can watch the film in its entirety on You Tube.

Post by: Kerry on October 21, 2016, 06:38:20 AM: "Paris When it Sizzle" is a beautiful movie to look at and to see the cameos and I'm sure was a great idea when it started. Unfortunately as much as I love Audrey Hepburn and some of the cameos and the look of the movie, it really is an awful movie. You can see how drunk William Holden was throughout the entire movie, and I think everyone enjoyed being in Paris and they pieced together what they could. I liked the music though and have ordered the CD-- but not through PayPal.

Post by: Jrand74 on October 21, 2016, 03:12:50 PM: I know it's a strange reaction....and I can't explain it. But I put the Unsung Sherman Brothers CD in. Within the first two measures of the first song....I started to cry because it was so wonderful and joyful. I am NOT prone to exaggeration in general....but these songs are magical.....

I think The 13 Clocks would have been a CLASSIC film and score - it would have earned it. It's not the processed CGI/Pixar crap we get now....the stories are all basically the same - just different dumb characters trying to overcome silly odds.....fart jokes and tasteless "humor."

And the songs are all the same and in the same place in the movies.....and there has to be one BIG BELT song to be sung by some screeching Broadway diva whose physiognomy will not allow her to have a screen career.....

"Instant classic" is not possible - even though they are all advertised as such.

Title: Re: SIZZLING PARIS
Post by: bk on October 21, 2016, 05:34:50 PM: Was trying to listen to some wonderful Dello Joio music - impossible due to the completely inept recording, which I'm finding is the case with a lot of the newer 90s and 2000s digital crap. It's distant miked so there's absolutely no orchestral detail at all, the dynamics on the CD range from impossible to hear at all to almost acceptable but not quite. The Peter Maxwell Davies was exactly the same. Then you listen to Air Power by Dello Joio, from Columbia Records recorded in stereo in 1958 and it puts all this modern crap to shame - it's alive, vibrant, and filled with detail. This horrid Dello Joio CD has great music on it but you would not know it from these inept performances and sound - and this conductor, who had his ten minutes with American music, one James Sedaris, has ruined so much great music. But speaking of inept, even Leonard Bernstein and the NY Phil had off days, recording-wise - one of the worst is his performance of Randall Thompson's amazing second symphony. He simply hasn't the feel for it - Bay Cities put it out in horrid mono sound but that performance is fantastic in terms of feel and intention - and the NY Phil is ragged on it to boot - I also didn't think much of the other selections on that CD - a Roy Harris symphony and a David Diamond symphony. Normally Bernstein is great with American music, but not here, at least in my opinion.

We also had scheduled a 10 pm show, but since no tickets were sold on-line by this afternoon, we cancelled the performance. We have an 8 pm and a 10 pm show tomorrow night also, but that late show may also be cancelled if no one shows up. Both 8 pm shows have tickets sold, so those will go on as scheduled.

Until later!

Post by: Jane on October 21, 2016, 06:24:37 PM: We went to Beaches probably our favorite restaurant here. It is fun and the staff if very friendly. With the change in seasons it was slower than usual there which meant the staff was extra attentive. A manager we have never met before stopped by to visit and said if the ingredients were available for the Asian salad they would make it even though it was not on the menu. I had the asian salad with grilled salmon and Keith had their Beach salad with grilled salmon.

For starters we had edamame with drinks. I like the cadillac margarita's there as they come in a smaller glass and are very tasty, usually. Tonight mine was like they made them when we first moved here, exceptionally good. :)

And Bernstein, as wonderful a man and musician as he was, could be a mess of a conductor -- even with common American music like the Gershwin warhorses. Even with his own damned music.

BAM!

Congratulations, DR Ron Pulliam!

You know, I just figured something out --

If I copy and paste an image directly into the post (this one was on my hard drive), it's only visible while I'm logged in. Did everyone else know it works that way?

This must mean that the image isn't really ON the site, even though you pasted it in. Is that correct?

So if you want something to be here forever and always be visible, what's the absolute best method for posting an image?

Post by: Jrand74 on October 21, 2016, 08:09:30 PM: Yes I found that out the hard way, too,, DR CHAS SMITH.

Usually, I put the photo on BookFace, then right click it and use the copy image location - come here type: (img) then paste the image location, then type (/img) and the photo stays here.

But use brackets and the letters img instead of parens [...] [/...]

They don't show up if you try it without a photo. :o

Yes, we can't see your picture since it links to your personal computer. If you want, you can upload any image to a Photobucket account, then everyone will be able to see it, since it'll be there forever. I created a (free) Photobucket account for HHW for just such occasions. If you want, I can send you the instructions. Many people here have uploaded their pictures so that they can be posted here. :)

If I remember correctly, if you link a picture from the BookFace, people here who don't have accounts won't see them because you have to have an account to even go to the site.

Post by: John G. on October 21, 2016, 10:20:44 PM: We had a dip contest today, and I think I may have won it. Winner won't be announced until Monday, but the rumor mill was active.

I did a dueling avocado dip. The outer one was made with cream cheese, onion, garlic and lemon juice in addition to avocado (it was the filling of the Jello avocado mold that I made the other day and it was better without the gelatin). The inner one was made with tomatillos, serranos, jalapenos and avocado. Together, they tasted really good. The cream cheese helped tame the heat from the chiles.

John, what do you mean when you say an inner dip and an outer dip?

The cream cheese was more solid, so I spread it around the outside of the bowl and put the more liquid dip in the center.

What's cool about the Roman Holiday tracks is that they can be companion tracks to the Japanese cast recording (http://castalbums.org/recordings/Roman-Holiday-1998-Original-Japanese-Cast/6610) of a complete Japanese musical version written by Michiru Ohshima and Yuki Saito. :)
