Post by: George on August 04, 2017, 12:22:25 AM: Topic of the Day: watching on my DVR right now: the second of the last three episodes of "Emerald City." This episode was broadcast on February 24, but I didn't take the time to watch it. The series was cancelled shortly after the season ended. Only one episode left then it's all over for me.

Post by: TCB on August 04, 2017, 12:27:16 AM: You are the only person I know who watched that show.

I'm the only person that I know who watched the show.
Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: George on August 04, 2017, 12:30:52 AM: And during these two episodes that I watched were commercials for other shows that have already been cancelled.

Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: ChasSmith on August 04, 2017, 05:06:52 AM: Last night I got drowsy while reading and ended up napping for about an hour and a half right in the middle of the evening. When I went to bed I was still a little sleepy, but thanks to the nap I laid there awake for two or three hours. So now I once again feel greatly in need of more sleep. I'll lie back down in a bit and try for another nap, a productive one this time.
Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: ChasSmith on August 04, 2017, 05:08:21 AM: I'm afraid I have nothing else to report. My TOD is empty, as I haven't had time or haven't been in the mood to seek out anything in particular to watch or listen to.
Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: ChasSmith on August 04, 2017, 05:13:35 AM: Oh -- I will be going to see DUNKIRK this evening for sure.

This is a busy traditional (original) Imax connected to Norwalk's Maritime Aquarium, and they run the typical Imax nature/science/travel features through the day. When they have the occasional feature film in Imax it only gets an evening showing, so DUNKIRK is at 7 pm, and on weekends they add another at 9:30 pm.
Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: ChasSmith on August 04, 2017, 05:14:04 AM: Prior to arriving for the showing, I'm stopping at the aforementioned Barnes & Noble -- speaking of which, I just got an email announcing a one-week extension to the Criterion sale. Instead of ending Monday the 7th, it'll now continue through Monday the 14th. I love it when they do that.
Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: ChasSmith on August 04, 2017, 05:21:16 AM: Speaking of Imax, etc., I found this informative:

Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: ChasSmith on August 04, 2017, 05:25:48 AM: I will never go to one of those 4DX things. Not ever. Not to try it even once. No interest at all.

I can tolerate and enjoy the occasional Disney attraction such as "Star Tours" that puts you through that, and more, for all of several minutes. But even the thought of watching a feature-length film with your chair moving and water and smells and stuff coming at you... are you kidding me? If that's what the kiddies go for these days, then go ahead and sell it to them. But I call bullshit on it.

Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: elmore3003 on August 04, 2017, 06:02:58 AM: Joshie, Rob Berman, and our friend Eric Dietz came to the performance. They were all complimentary about the cast, staging and the orchestrations. Rob asked if we ever had a children's audience for this children's musical. I'm hoping tomorrow's 10:30 performance plays to a higher percentage of children. The play is very funny, and Joshie laughed a lot.
Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: Jrand74 on August 04, 2017, 06:03:11 AM: I loved reading the notes about the new song and the visit with the Shermans. Good news about the Sherman/Kimmel evening in October....that would be fun to attend!

Post by: elmore3003 on August 04, 2017, 06:08:57 AM: Then Rob took Joshie and me to the West Bank Cafe where we celebrated The New Yorkers and the 92nd Street Y Lerner and Loewe show. The dinner was quite wonderful, and we had nearly three hours of food food and drink, laughs, and dish. Our pretty blonde waitress Kimberly had worked with Joshie in the Irish Rep's Finian's Rainbow this year, and she had recently auditioned for Rob for the Encores! Brigadoon this fall.

Post by: ChasSmith on August 04, 2017, 06:09:01 AM: DR Elmore -- I was reminded yesterday when shuffling some things around that there are two lovely cartons of Vernors here with your name on them.

Let me know when you can accept a gentleman caller. Once I know my rehearsal schedule for next week, I'll be happy to drive them down if that works for you.
Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: elmore3003 on August 04, 2017, 06:11:24 AM: At 9:00 we left the West Bank, they got me into a taxi, and I rolled home. A fantastic day!

And this morning I am overdrawn, Where is that damned final Guys & Dolls payment?

West Bank Cafe (http://www.westbankcafe.com/) sounds wonderful.

We began with the burrata and roasted artichokes, and we all had the crab cakes. Also, side orders of broccoli rabe and the truffle mac'n'cheese. For dessert we shared the apple crostada and a wonderful strawberry ce cream combo.

Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: Druxy on August 04, 2017, 06:50:14 AM: T.O.D.

I've got a few things recorded (e.g. THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR), so we'll probably watch one or more of them.
Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: Druxy on August 04, 2017, 06:54:22 AM: Last night, we watched ALIAS NICK BEAL.

Great atmosphere and performances, but it ran too long and got a bit silly. ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER handled this kind of "sell your soul to the Devil" material so much better.

DR FJL your new musical sounds very good - just the thought of it stirs several emotions!

Thanks, Jrand!

Marian and I are hopeful that the producer's suggestions will make the show better and not just different, but I'm reminded of the line "What comes first for a new musical - the music or the words?" and the only partly-kidding answer "The funding." So the producer must be respected.

I recovered quickly enough to enjoy my breakfast and a second cup of coffee. A quick stop at Target and now we're home waiting to see if the weather clears up for this evening's First Friday festivities in downtown Middletown.

Many people were watching us, and I am sure they all thought I thought my hair looked very natural.....the reaction when Molly pulled it off while we were paying our check was most wonderful. I am sure many people have stories to tell their friends now....one man was just coming through the door when it went down - and his face was priceless!

Then Rob took Joshie and me to the West Bank Cafe where we celebrated The New Yorkers and the 92nd Street Y Lerner and Loewe show. The dinner was quite wonderful, and we had nearly three hours of food food and drink, laughs, and dish. Our pretty blonde waitress Kimberly had worked with Joshie in the Irish Rep's Finian's Rainbow this year, and she had recently auditioned for Rob for the Encores! Brigadoon this fall.

so glad you had such a nice evening.

Post by: bk on August 04, 2017, 06:07:32 PM: Watched one excellent episode of the Hitchcock Hour, skipped a bad one that should have been a lot more fun - with Tony Randall and Jayne Mansfield (in a short wig), and fell asleep during a third, so I'm just on the computer and listening to the symphonies of Alexander Glazunov. Very enjoyable and much like Borodin and every bit as good and tuneful.

Post by: John G. on August 04, 2017, 08:14:00 PM: Watching Romance on the High Seas. It's a total piece of fluff with Doris Day in her first film role, but Michael Curtiz directs it with the right breeziness and the music is wonderful. It's Magic is the big song, but Jule Styne has some nice tunes throughout.
Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: bk on August 04, 2017, 08:23:03 PM: Still listening to Glazunov and thinking about doing another jog, a shorter one so that the total today would be four miles. Will he or won't he? To jog or not to jog, that is the question.

The concert was great! The concert was about two hours with an intermission and there were about 20 or so people. They performed a very ecclectic set of songs.

Title: Re: THE VISIT
Post by: bk on August 04, 2017, 10:26:51 PM: Saving the final two Glazunov symphonies for the 'morrow. Now I'm listening to some Prokofiev symphonies conducted by Erich Leinsdorf - these are incredible performances of the four symphonies he recorded - right to the head of the class, for sure. In this set, he also conducts all the piano concertos and violin concertos, which I'm looking forward to, as the set of concertos I had wasn't to my liking at all.
