Oh, and I found that CNN article that (former) DR CillaLiz was featured in.  She's part of the article body, as well as featured in the imbedded video:

Trump is leading big in Iowa, but these GOP women are looking at someone else (https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/14/politics/iowa-republican-women-nikki-haley/index.html)
Title: Re: NOTHING MUCH TO WRITE ABOUT
Post by: George on December 15, 2023, 01:15:30 AM
It turns out that that's part of a series of articles, and CillaLiz has been interviewed for all of them.  The first was from August 9:

‘I think he’s the best guy for the job’: See the 2024 campaign through the eyes of Iowa voters (https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/09/politics/iowa-republicans-donald-trump-2024/index.html)

And the second was from September 29:

These Iowa and New Hampshire voters don’t see much changing after the second GOP debate (https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/29/politics/second-gop-debate-reaction-iowa-new-hampshire-voters/index.html)

TRILOGY OF TERROR is on a nice Blu-ray, too, and what great fun it is. I think there might be a couple of moments in the doll story that haven't lost their impact, even now, if you haven't seen it in a while.

The memory of that first broadcast is one of my absolute favorites. It's literally what everyone talked about the next day, a watershed moment in television during a remarkably creative time.

If you have access to The NY Times site, this is an interesting article about one of the authors of the stage musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (the only one of the four who is still living) fighting the estates of the other three writers for the right to have the stage musical performed with revisions to implement with a less-controversial update to the kidnapping aspect of the story.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/14/theater/seven-brides-for-seven-brothers-lawsuit.html

From the Times article:

"“Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” features a central plot twist that makes the story problematic for contemporary audiences: A group of ill-mannered brothers kidnaps the women they have been eyeing"

"Now, an effort to modernize the story to make it palatable for today’s theatergoers has landed in court."

This is the line in the article that describes the nature of the changes you mentioned:

"For that staging, David Landay, the only one of the 1982 show’s four writers who is alive, added a prologue and revised the plot so that the women foil the kidnapping attempt but, bored with life in their small town, opt to flee voluntarily with their would-be abductors."

I can't tell whether the estates of the other three writers just don't care for the revisions, or if those estates feel the plot just just be allowed to be of the bygone era, or if they're more for letting the property just go away.

The encapsulation project is finished.

I now have a dehumidifier working underneath the house and a tracking monitor for humidity readings.
I am keeping that in my kitchen.

And, today is the day that a local repair guy stopped by to assess, and give me an estimate for, the repair of a gutter recently dislodged during a storm.

Based on data I've gotten from townsfolk who have had similar work done, I got a fair estimate. and the work will be done one day next week.

Still, this month has been the most expensive month of my life.  Thank goodness I am not having to shell out for the MRI and the Colonscopy.

And, I have property tax due next month.

Golly.

If you have access to The NY Times site, this is an interesting article about one of the authors of the stage musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (the only one of the four who is still living) fighting the estates of the other three writers for the right to have the stage musical performed with revisions to implement with a less-controversial update to the kidnapping aspect of the story.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/14/theater/seven-brides-for-seven-brothers-lawsuit.html

From the Times article:

"“Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” features a central plot twist that makes the story problematic for contemporary audiences: A group of ill-mannered brothers kidnaps the women they have been eyeing"

"Now, an effort to modernize the story to make it palatable for today’s theatergoers has landed in court."


So an attempted kidnapping is an improvement-lol

This is the line in the article that describes the nature of the changes you mentioned:

"For that staging, David Landay, the only one of the 1982 show’s four writers who is alive, added a prologue and revised the plot so that the women foil the kidnapping attempt but, bored with life in their small town, opt to flee voluntarily with their would-be abductors."

I get that, an attempted kidnapping vs actually kidnapping them.

AHA!  I remember a television movie that scared me and scarred me for life.....and I was in my 20's.

Trilogy of Terror - three stories each starring Karen Black.  The last story called The Zumi Doll is the one that did it.  If you saw it, you know.

It's probably on YouTube.   :'(

It was Karen Black who scared you. She was one scary creature.

Dog peed and pooped in the yard here, which is what I prefer, we had a little walk, she ate her early meal, and she just had a treat. She's abandoned the couch after the treat and is on her blankie.

The yard is much better than out on a neighbor's lawn :)

Today was the last of the treats she loves - there were only five left. So, I found the one store within fifty miles that has that brand and that specific treat and I was able to do Instacart and get it.

Of course the lead actor wasn't nearly as handsome as Cary - but he did a pretty good job of it.

The woman who played Dyan Cannon was uncanny in her impersonation and at times it seemed that she WAS Dyan.

There were several celebrity impersonations.  The most egregious were the supposed Alfred Hitchcock, Grace Kelly, Doris Day, and MOST unfortunate, Audrey Hepburn.

Back from the show - amazingly great audience with much cheering and an ovation for Hit It, Lorraine like we've never had. A few sloppy things that are probably only annoying to me. Knew a few folks. No Kay Cole. Even though she told me she couldn't wait to see it tonight, I knew she wouldn't show up. She called today and said her shower broke and the workmen were there fixing it. So, I had a seat for the show. Full house.

Tomorrow, my friend Shelly is going to have an estate sale with items from her parents and other relatives.

I'm going to help her out for probably most of it.

Hopefully, she'll be able to sell a lot of the items.
