Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of roofies, and now it is time for you to post until the roofed cows come home.

DR George, in my days when I worked for Mr Yap, I orchestrated the movie songs from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers that never made the show version as well as the movie versions of songs for his complete The Music Man. I know there's also a Fiddler on the Roof starring Len Cariou(!) sitting in bags in his house waiting to be completed. The answer to why they sit incomplete is simple: financial.

When I worked with him, I never once was paid with any tax information or records, and, to my knowledge, neither was anyone else, absolutely no paperwork.  Each of us individually went into another room with John, where fees were reckoned and payments made in traveler's checks.  I cannot speak for the others, but this is what I observed.  Hmmm . . .

Last night, after dealing with Stella's messes and the refrigerator, by 5:00 my legs were in such pain I could barely stand or move.  Since I no longer had any food in the freezer I thought was edible, I ordered from Fred's. https://www.fredsnyc.com

By the time I finished kitty - and my - cleanup, I was in no mood for a movie. I spent the night watching CNN.

BK's romp through the Hitchcocks is bringing back the pain we went through in 2012 or whenever it was that Universal released their collection on Blu-ray. Through all of that, I remember rejoicing that The Man Who Knew Too Much could now actually be watched without one wanting to pluck one's eyes out for offending one. That's how much of a travesty the DVD had been.
Title: Re: WHAT IS A ROOF DOING IN MY MOUTH
Post by: ChasSmith on October 20, 2020, 05:55:23 AM
What has me upset in the Blu-ray department is yet another announcement from Indicator that the Sweet Charity release is delayed yet again for some kind of production reason in the packaging department. But that's not the real upset. If all was well otherwise, I can live with a delay. That's just the trigger, as today's kids would say.

The true upset is their bizarre announcement that this would not, as it turns out, be the "roadshow" presentation. Somehow or other, the studio will not allow the use of the intermission break and Entr'acte, and the Exit Music. This kind of thing just boggles the mind. Will the movie buying public ever know what's up with that?

My most recent roof-burning (of the mouth variety) was but a week ago. How many times in our lives do we do this, and we never learn? For me, it's almost always that first enthusiastic but careless bite of pizza that's to blame, but this recent time it was a re-warmed bowl of...something...and look, I can't even remember what it was! But that ghost of a feeling is still there.

I'm not officially up yet, but my feeling about it is this and I bet I'm right: Kino, perhaps having helped pay or paid in full for the new transfer, asked Universal to stop Indicator from doing their roadshow version because they knew it would hurt their sales.  There is no other scenario that makes sense.

OMG. That scenario can take us back to revisiting Kino's botched release in the first place. Isn't that when they didn't seem to grasp the concept of "roadshow" when people were asking them about it? And is it the release with the too-low volume? And with a commentary track the world laughed at? (Disclaimer: I didn't buy it and haven't seen or heard any of it.)

And finally -- Kino, historically, has always thrown a John Yap-style fit whenever anyone suggested they like to buy Region 2/B releases.

DR Elmore, just a point of interest:

My CT DOL deposits, from day one, have hit my bank account every Tuesday morning without fail. No exceptions. Until last week, when for the first time, it wasn't there till Wednesday. Today looks like a repeat of that. Is this the new normal? Isn't that bizarre?

I know it's probably different in every state and every bank.

Post by: bk on October 20, 2020, 06:36:44 AM
ChasSmith, the Kino didn't have the entr'acte or exit music - it is, in fact, exactly what they're making Indicator do - Kino screwed up because no one there knows anything about the movies they issue.  So, they didn't know to go to Universal and say give us the entr'acte and exit music so we have a proper roadshow.  And now, if my guess is correct, they've complained to Universal that they paid (or partially paid) for a new scan and they don't want Indicator's release to be different, as that would hurt Kino's sales.  I know a lot of folks love Kino - I'm not one of them because I find their "expert" to be a buffoon and quite unpleasant.

I had a shipment from Amazon UK (my first in a long time) that was the most horrendous packaging I've ever seen. They sent it via DHL (which was actually nice, for the speed in which it arrived), but they'd packaged it in a flimsy wrap-around piece of corrugated that, when delivered to me, was OPEN at one end and loose on the other. The open-end flap was actually separated from the rest. The DHL driver had to carefully set it on my front step to keep the contents wrapped and the wrapping more or less together. It's a bloody miracle that the two items in there were (1) actually there, and (2) completely and utterly unharmed.

Now I'm afraid to order anything else from them.

Amazon.co.uk shipped me a full score in a cardboard wrapper that the USPS let get soaked in the rain. I wasn't home so they left me a delivery attempt.  By the time I picked up the score it was ruined by water damage.

One advantage of being a vegetarian, not as much food needs to be immediately trashed.  Over the years all our food had to be deposed of more often than I can remember.  We lost power far too often in our second Michigan home.  All that ice cream we couldn't eat fast enough ;)

Post by: ChasSmith on October 20, 2020, 12:21:53 PM
My whole dream just came back to me, and I hadn't even thought of it since getting up this morning.

It was the typical performance dream in which you're either unprepared or you don't know what the hell you're even doing there. In this one, I'm playing in the orchestra for a show, on what seems to be a baby grand piano. We were already midway through the show, and following a pause for dialogue in the middle of this number, I resume playing on cue and we finish the number, then there's a dialogue scene. However, as I'd turned the last page in that song, I found that the rest of the book was missing.

I immediately tried to take stock of my situation. Did I remember enough of the score (in the dream, it now seems to be Shrek) to be able to cover enough of my part? Should I ask the conductor during this pause if there's another copy of the book I can grab? Will the audience see that the piano player now has nothing on his stand, and start noticing things? Are there any important cues in the second half that depend on my playing something precisely and not just faking it? As the situation became more and more dire, I finally began to wake up. But while still under the influence of the dream, I was grateful that it couldn't have been Shrek which would be impossible in this situation, in so many ways.

Three to six inches of snow predicted here.

Oh no. I honestly cannot deal with snow until at least December.

Sing, what a lot you've been going through! But your sinus biopsy sounds like it went extremely well! No surgery and no pain even. Vibes the rest is good news, too, and this incident will soon be history.

Thank you. I think the stone has passed, but my lower back feels as if Mike Tyson's been using it for a punching bag.

DR elmore3003 - is Val coming back, eventually?

No, alas.  The building management treated him very poorly and he left in mid-2018. Everyone misses him and we have a good super in Jeff.  Val and I keep in touch, and he will always be the super in the A&T stories.

Val is much younger than I imagined him. Isn't he the son of another previous super?

It is mostly the hot cheese on pizza causing that painful burn.  I especially dislike the burn in the tender spot between on the roof of my mouth between my two front teeth.

In my mid-twenties, I had my tonsils taken out on a Tuesday.  On the Friday right after that, my family and I went out to dinner and I had nachos.  That was a HUGE mistake!! :o
