Post by: George on March 05, 2007, 12:59:05 AM: AAARRRGGGHHH!!! I thought that I would be going to bed shortly after the new notes were posted, but NOOOOO! I have to go to the store! >:( Why do I have to go to the store? I'll tell you why I have to go to the store. I have to go to the store because I have been wearing my contact lenses all day. That in itself isn't enough reason for me to go to the store, but when I was just about to take out my contact lenses, I discovered to my HORROR that I have no more contact lens solution! :o I can't sleep with my contact lenses still on my eyballs, so I have to go to the store NOW and get some new contact lens solution so that I can take my contact lenses off of my eyeballs, place them in the new solution and be able to sleep. DAMN.

Fortunately, there are a couple of 24-hour grocery stores close by, so it won't take too long. And I'm still fully dressed...other than my shoes and socks. ::)

So, on that note (crap-flat) let me just say good night, all. 8)

I love the play. I just don't think there's a musical in it: Bernstein and Comden & Green couldn't do it and he's the only composer I can think of with the chops to find equivalent musical choices to match all the dramatic parody and styles in the original play. It should have been a comic opera by Offenbach.

The question is can an animal actually give a performance? I am sure as with small children it is all in the editing. Also I am sure as in the case with Lassie there were several used in a single film. There was a running Lassie, a jumping Lassie, a cute Lassie etc. Arnold the Pig on Green Acres was played by multiple pigs because once they grew to a certain size they became unmanagable. So many of animal performances of recent films where they "talked", like "Babe" were played by live versions and animitronics.

I really don't have a favorite performance by an aimal.

But I did get to meet and became an "assistant" for a week to Zippy The Chip. A great roller skater (He did this rather than walking) and when he wanted a hug (and he wanted a lot of them) he would bring his arms to his chest. I am sure he is no longer with us.

Well, it's certainly becoming obvious that the producers are fixing the results of the show by the material they're picking for the contestants. If you give someone a bad song to sing, they're only so much "good" they can get out of it. In other words, "Sh*t in, Sh*t out."
********
Which song(s) were you referring to?

Right now my favorite danny is max. And my favorite sandy is laura. Although since i have never seen them sing or act together i have no idea if they are compatible.

As for who they got rid of, i think it was obvious who was going to be in the bottom 2 (ally and kathleen). But i was disappointed with who they sent home (kathleen). Just in her sing-off, her acting skills were so obviously superior. I cannot believe that they are considering having ally as the new sandy.

Btw, since david ian is payrolling the show shouldn't his vote count more. He said he wanted kathleen to stay. I am surprised that kathleen (marshall) chose ally, since she has continually said that ally cannot act but that kathleen is superb.

Btw, most of us cannot post about GREASE when it is on since that is the same time as THE AMAZING RACE.

Tonight was just a Danny night, so... I think the song choice for Austin may have backfired. The song choice for Max was well done. The song chosen for Chad did him no favors at all. And the song for Derek - well, the promo piece they did for him beforehand and the song picked for him, basically sabotaged him. So...

Okay i just got to this post.

So you're saying that the judges want max to win???

I thought they wanted chad. Or at least that is how it is coming across with david ian.

I thought chad sounded terrible in his song (like he had the worst cold ever).

I actually think that they are quite shocked that max is still around. I don't think any of them ever thought he could cut it. But he is hugely popular. And he is the only danny who actually acts all of his songs. And since we are not privy to seeing any actual acting scenes, we must assume that max is the best actor.

It's all we have to go by!

I sure as heck hope they start showing acting scenes in couples. Or they are gonna just end up with a danny and sandy that have no chemistry.

I really cannot believe that they have a whole hour for just 4 people and they cannot bother to show any acting scenes.

Boggles my mind.

Don't they want a danny and sandy that work well together. To me that is so much of the show.

I thought Austin sounded bad during his song. Not awful-bad, just sort of peculiar. It should have been in a higher key, imho, and he sang most of it through his nose. Yes, he was doing a character, but Danny never is supposed to sing like that in show. So... Again, the producers aren't really helping anyone with the song their choosing for the contestants. And although Max was good last night, he could have been a lot better with a different song - one where he didn't have to push to show his more tough, macho side.

Post by: Jrand73 on March 05, 2007, 06:28:18 AM: Favorite Lassie moments:

June Lockhart - in a long shot drives that old Dodge Pickup from a long shot to a medium shot, stops the truck and jumps out and is in focus!

And....the plumber visits the Martins and leaves some tools by the sink. Later June/Ruth is driving the 57 Dodge car and has a flat tire. She loses control of the spare getting it out of the trunk and of course steps in a bear/bobcat trap. Lassie comes by and Ruth makes a "C" figure with her hand telling Lassie to go get the C clamp the plumber left by the sink and bring it to her. And she does, just before the bobcat gets her!

I do remember in the 70's watching an episode about a runaway speedboat and I said - if that dog brings that boat in by herself, I will never watch that show again. She did and I haven't....much.

Even more, I despise the segment where the actors all rag on each other. It's not really good natured ragging either. One of them called Austin a "showgirl," which was definitely hitting below the belt. I'm not saying that there isn't competition and maybe even hard feelings among the guys wanting this part, but we don't have to see it, and all four come away looking like gossiping old biddies jealous of one another's attributes.

So, I got to the subway platform and no trains! Nothing local or express. There's a big crowd, so this delay's been of some duration. They never tell what the hell the problem is with the train you want, but every three or so minutes, the PA announces there's no uptown express service because of an "investigation" on the Brooklyn express line. Sounds bad. I'm home. If my options are working or waiting for a train that may not come for another hour, I'd rather be home working.

No favorite animals. I believe I mentioned once that my uncle was the director of photography on LASSIE for many years and that all shows which employed family members were mandatory viewing when I was growing up. It just dawned on me, too, that although I visited many, many movie sets as a child and met many stars, I was never on the LASSIE set, so I never met Lassie in person! (I believe that LASSIE was shot at Hal Roach studio in Culver City, which is where BK shot First Nudie Musical many years later. ) My uncle was given many gifts related to the show, including drinking glasses with a picture of Lassie on them. How's that for movie trivia!

Even though I'm always very specific about what I want, more often than not I don't get it. I've never understood why it is so difficult to give the same cut each time. One friend of mine got so fed up with this that she cut her own hair for a year. I'm not that brave. I did recut my hair once when a hairdresser I went to on an LA visit gave me a cut that was soooo far from what I asked for and wanted. I made the mistake of mentioning I was in town for a visit, thus giving her no incentive for repeat business. I went to a nearby beauty supply store, bought a pair of haircutting scissors, and recut what I could.

Don't get me started on hairdressers!

More about GREASE. The "assignments" each actor was given to help round him out as the perfect Danny were ludicrous. I hated that part of the show.

Even more, I despise the segment where the actors all rag on each other. It's not really good natured ragging either. One of them called Austin a "showgirl," which was definitely hitting below the belt. I'm not saying that there isn't competition and maybe even hard feelings among the guys wanting this part, but we don't have to see it, and all four come away looking like gossiping old biddies jealous of one another's attributes.

Yep... All that "behind the scenes" stuff is sooo irritating and extremely unprofessional. Unfortunately, it's obvious the contestants are watching the shows, and most likely some other footage, that the producers have shot throughout the week. And, in the 'real world', most, if not all, of that gossip would have never been shared or leaked. Yes, people do say things behind closed doors, but they stay there. It truly is a small business. And since the contestants also seem to be living in the same bubble seven days a week, 24-hours a day.... UGH! I'm guessing NBC wants to bring out the more soap opera like elements of the process in order to gain and keep more viewers. Sad, sad, sad.

No, my uncle was Eddie Fitzgerald. He also filmed Oh, Susanna!, which is why I remember it, I believe one of the Lassie films (as opposed to the TV show), and Alfred Hitchcock's The Rope. Unfortunately, so much family history was lost. I was just a little girl and since the entire family worked in motion picutres and TV, so much was taken for granted. My cousin Marion, Eddie's step-daughter, is the only survivor from that era in the family, and she's forgotten a lot. Marion, BTW, was originally chosen to be the little girl in the Our Gang comedy, but Eddie wouldn't allow it. There was another little girl, about the same age, living down the street, whose father was absent. Eddie suggested they use her instead, because the family needed the money. They did. Don't ask me her name--I don't recall. I respect these stories as family history, but I also know that memories are imperfect and that there may be some discrepancies. Marion also threw out a lot of photos, which I will NEVER forgive her for! Now we're getting to Too Much Information.

Knowing how learned DR JRand is in such matters, I'm sure that he has the ability to put up psychomeatry barriers, which block out your probing. Perhaps, with practice and training, you will someday become stronger in the use of your gift and be able to peek behind such mental curtains.

You dare to mention the word "touch" in a post lambasting us for our persistent heckling of you and your hand? It's like shooting fish in a barrel...

Speaking of touch, I was at a little awards ceremony here in Prescott yesterday afternoon for the local Fine Arts Association scholarship competition -- Heather had won a couple of awards (2nd place in the classical voice, musical theatre, and drama competitions :D) and some scholarship money, so I went to be her cheerleader [end shameful allusion to today's notes]. Well, to make a long story short, in the program, they had each kid's name and next to it, one or two sentences either quoting them about their respective field of art or their college plans, etc. Well, one of the kids who did a visual art piece had given an "inspiring" quote, that - thanks to the mindset you all put me in - I knew I had to come back and share. So here goes:

"Art touches people in ways that words can't and my goal in life is to touch as many people as possible."

I had to stifle my laughter when I first noticed that right in the middle of one of the first place kid's performance... :D

Not at all Jeanne! I love this kind of info! I want to hear more about your family, what they did and what movies/shows they worked on!!! You have never mentioned all of this before!

I will try to put it in a nutshell. I grew up in Culver City, which isn't far from where BK and Jane and PennyO grew up. Virtually all the family worked in movies or TV at some point in their lives, but for most of them it was simply a way of earning a living. My uncle's position was the most notable--he was the only one to receive screen credit. My father didn't usually work directly on the shows, what he did was more support stuff. For instance, he wallpapered the sets for the Andy Hardy series with Mickey Rooney. I recall this because I watched the show as a very little girl and my dad would ALWAYS say, "I didn't get that seam straight" or something like that and I'd moan because I'd heard that sooo many times.

My dad worked at Desilu for many years (what was it before it was Desilu? I don't remember) and would sometimes get off work early. When I'd get home from school he'd sometimes ask me if I wanted to go over to the studio. I always said yes. Over the years I met Johnny Weismiller (sp?) on the Tarzan set, the Real McCoys, Batman and Robin and saw the Batmobile, saw the sets for The Greatest Story Ever Told, met Robert Stack and the Untouchables (a school chum was an enormous fan, so we arranged that for her). My dad also built the munchkin houses for the 1939 Wizard of Oz--but I wasn't around in 1939 to see them!

Once I reached high school, we'd often get tickets for the live Lucy show and Danny Thomas. I'd often bring my friends and we'd be part of the audience. (You had to be at least a certain age; they didn't want young children.) So that was partly my laugh you heard on those shows!

I've always felt a debt to Hollywood because it literally put food on our table. But I also grew up hearing stories of how cut-throat it was. Eddie was shooting some film from a helicopter when he and the camera fell. I recall visiting him in the nursing home--he survived, but it was a long recovery. That was just an accident, but it could be quite treacherous. As a result, I have a sort of love-hate relationship with Hollywood. I left acting because I had NO illusions whatsoever about the business, only to learn, sadly, that the rest of the world is often no different and no better.

But, DR Mike, I cannot tell you all my stories because then there'd be no mystery! I did try to tap both my dad and my other uncle for stories before their deaths, but so much had already been forgotten. I suppose I should write down what I recall before I get to the can't-remember-anything stage!

I also got a kick out of the orangutan that was in EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE.

I did too, that is until the time I was about 5 or 6 when my parents had a St. Patty's Day party out at a wildlife park where we lived in Central Texas -- that particular orangutan had "retired" there and made an appearance at the party, where I was set up for a trick where he pulled the chair out from under me (unbeknownst to me). The shock and surprise, not to mention all of the adults laughing at me, pretty much ruined the night for me. Had I known the set-up, I'd have played it for all it was worth, but I guess everyone thought that'd it'd be funnier to watch a little boy cry.

So yeah, thanks a lot Clyde the Orangutan, you've lost a friend and made a mortal enemy...

She's so considerate.

No matter that the lads' father is home today. He's not feeling well, and can't be bothered taking care of them.

Yep, it's that kind of household.

I have no idea when der B will be getting back, and I don't get off work until six-thirty tonight. I'm planning on walking home in the dark.

The reviews for the show in Chicago were, shall we say, not good, but it will still be fun to go. We will be sitting in the orchestra of the Hilton Theatre (FKA Ford Center for the Performing Arts, FFKA a combination of the Apollo and Lyric Theatres) spanning 42nd and 43rd Streets just west of 7th Avenue. The seats are not reserved (being a gypsy run and all) but we won't sit in back of any tall people (if we can help it).

I'll report tomorrow.

FYI, the Pirate Queen is the new musical by the folks who created Les Miz and the folks who created Riverdance. Pray for Rosemary's Baby.

I'm glad I didn't take the time to watch the entire show. I was not impressed, but then (sorry those of you who are fans), I don't "get" The Simpsons. When it began as a short piece on the wonderful Tracy Ullman show it was genuinely funny and intelligent and worth the attention. Now, when I come across the show in endless reruns I find it tired, silly, repetitive and, the biggest sin of all, not remotely funny. Just my 2 cents.

Post by: Jane on March 05, 2007, 12:00:10 PM: So many animal actors to choose from, often my favorite is the cutie I’m currently watching. Cats, dogs and horses are my favorites. What wasn’t to love about Homeward Bound, 2 dogs & a cat.

We just watched a couple of Thin Man films & Asta truly holds his own amongst such great talent. Other favorite dogs are Hooch & Rin Tin Tin. I was a big fan of Fury. The cat on The Closer is pretty even if “he” doesn’t do anything.

The Cheetah in Duma is wonderful.

I saw the Sondheim segment broadcast on The Simpsons. It was broadcast last night and I saw it at some video site this afternoon. I'm glad I didn't take the time to watch the entire show. I was not impressed, but then (sorry those of you who are fans), I don't "get" The Simpsons. When it began as a short piece on the wonderful Tracy Ullman show it was genuinely funny and intelligent and worth the attention. Now, when I come across the show in endless reruns I find it tired, silly, repetitive and, the biggest sin of all, not remotely funny. Just my 2 cents.

We inhabit the same world DR Ben. I just don't "get" The Simpsons. Even the colours are aggresive.

From Wikipedia:

The company was formed in 1951. For the first few years of I Love Lucy, Desilu rented space at General Service Studios (what is now the Hollywood Center Studios), on Santa Monica Boulevard and Las Palmas Avenue in the Hollywood section of the City of Los Angeles. Desilu soon outgrew their first space and in 1953 bought their own studio: the Motion Picture Center on Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood, at the site of what is now the Ren-Mar rental studio; most of I Love Lucy was filmed there. In late 1957 (taking possession in 1958), the company also bought the RKO Pictures properties, including its main lot in Culver City, with the backlot known as Forty Acres, and another lot on Gower Street in Hollywood.

Thank you, DR Ron. It was the main lot in Culver City that I visited many times. But, IIRC, the Danny Thomas show and the Lucy Show were done at Paramount. But, as I said, memories are imperfect. They were indeed in Hollywood.

Don't get me started on hairdressers!

Not to get you started on hairdressers, but I LOVE mine! I had the same guy for 20 some years, back when I had waist length hair, he was the one who cut it short and I never wanted to change.

He owned a very expensive salon where I would never be able to afford to go had we not been friends. He gave me a "documentary maker" rate. He didn't like working for his rich clients, though, and listening to their political tirades. He said that if Bush was reelected, he was leaving the country.

Now he's retired to Argentina. The guy who bought his shop was a young Romanian guy, but he gives me great haircuts, even better than my friend who left. Last time I went, after the new hairdresser cut it, I thought the bangs were too long. He was very hesitant but went ahead and trimmed them. I was totally wrong and now they are way too short and not worthy of Jose. I hope he won't be ashamed to be seen with me!

Hi JRand.... it is really odd how it often happens that someone you mention, turns out to be someone I had an association with in the past.

In the mid 1960s I was fortunate to be asked to substitute on General Hospital when the regular MD took a vacation. Some of the cast were very stuck on themselves, but several of the cast members were very nice to a young musician like me. One of them was Patricia Breslin, who played Meg Baldwin (wife of one of the main characters Peter Baldwin). Patricia was always very open and friendly; the other really great character actress on the show was Lucille Wall and I really adored her!. She would invite me to take the 30 minute break between dress and final taping in her dressing room. She always had cookies and goodies to share, we'd have coffee or a soft drink, and she would tell me about the much earlier days of radio drama that she had starred in.

One of my fondest working memories of my pro days.....and I liked Ms. Wall so much that I even named my first '56 Thunderbird "Lucille" in her honor.

In case anyone's interested, here's an article about another attempt to musicalize A TALE OF TWO CITIES. I'm also displaying my friend Tony Walton's show curtain.

Beautiful! The curtain alone makes me want to see the show.

Post by: Edisaurus on March 05, 2007, 04:26:46 PM: I had a fun start to the day. I had a nail in my tire, so we jumped off the battery of my 17 year old Corolla but I couldn't keep it running. So my DH leant me his car and took mine to have the tire fixed. When they did, they also found a huge shard of wood impaling the tire. (Last year a logging truck dropped a tree in front of me on a very rainy night after a long edit until 2AM. A semi almost hit me as it tried to avoid the tree and the tree destroyed two of my wheels.)

Later today my DH drove into Atlanta and swapped cars so I wouldn't have to drive his Trooper home in the dark. He handed me the shard of wood from my tire. It brought back some creepy memories.

The problem has never been with Sherlock’s paw. It seems to be someplace on his leg, probably the left leg. We still aren’t sure.

While the vet couldn’t find the location of the possible strain, it doesn’t appear to be a growth related problem (our big fear) which is fairly common in large puppies. At 7 months and 87 pounds he is definitely a large puppy. The examination didn’t hurt him at all & he thought it was fun when we went outside to walk & run him while the doctor watched. He enjoys his visits there & playtime with our vet’s pug.

For now we still have to wait and see, which means no hikes for the next week. We can still walk him around town on a leash.

I'll find out. This guy also gives a great shampoo/massage. His mother was a hairdresser, so he's been around it all his life.

He learned to trim at 17
The hair of men and beauty queens...

Unfortunately, his mother is in a long battle with cancer, and is so far away. I can tell it hurts him not to be by her side but he hopes to be over there soon.

I only managed two visits to her, one without the boys. Shortly after we moved she passed away, the same week our 15 year old babysitter in Massachusetts died. Keith had to stay home with the pets & his new job. We never even considered him going home with me. Needless to say this was a very difficult time for all of us.

A few months later Keith went to L.A. on business and went to the cemetery. I had no idea he was planning to do so. The thought still brings tears to my eyes.

Not to get you started on hairdressers, but I LOVE mine! I had the same guy for 20 some years, back when I had waist length hair, he was the one who cut it short and I never wanted to change.

He owned a very expensive salon where I would never be able to afford to go had we not been friends. He gave me a "documentary maker" rate. He didn't like working for his rich clients, though, and listening to their political tirades. He said that if Bush was reelected, he was leaving the country.

Now he's retired to Argentina. The guy who bought his shop was a young Romanian guy, but he gives me great haircuts, even better than my friend who left. Last time I went, after the new hairdresser cut it, I thought the bangs were too long. He was very hesitant but went ahead and trimmed them. I was totally wrong and now they are way too short and not worthy of Jose. I hope he won't be ashamed to be seen with me!

Anyway, the retiring lawyer suggested I office share there. I don't think so.

I'm watching the news. I feel like I've been in an alternate universe or something. I have no idea what has been going on here. Well, I guess I do know, nothing from Wednesday - Sunday. Oh, and my boss did say I do get admin leave for Thursday and Friday and I won't have to use vacation for the Atlanta Seminar. Cool! That translates to hours I get paid for when I leave.

I honestly planned my class chedule around those three soaps so I wouldn't miss them ever. Of course, all this was many years before the VCR became available for home use.

The other case involved one of the FBI agents and her daughter who was kidnapped. This had a more tradntional plot and ending.

Thanks everyone for the "Welcome Homes" last night. I went to bed as soon as I signed off. I really wonder what was in that smoke from the house fire. I'm sure the trip wore me out, but I was exhausted and have had a sore throat a bit of a headache and have been really spacey and a tad emotional all day. I need to get the humidifier going and head up to get some sleep. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day

Ok, me and a whole lot of other folks, but I don't think this is a fundraiser, just an appearance. So I'll RSVP in the morning and see what he has to say. Wonder if he'll mention the evil viper Ann Coulter? I think it's his first trip to Sioux City this year. They usually don't start until summer, but the race is on early this time.

I find it very satisfying somehow, as long as all the information is there. The part i hate is having to hunt down information, i guess. All seven returns I did today had all the info laid out for me; there were some real complexities, but it was like playing a game, fitting pieces of a puzzle together. I almost feel guilty taking the money for doing this when it's so much fun - almost, anyway! :)

Title: Re:THE CHEERLEADER
Post by: JoseSPiano on March 05, 2007, 10:02:56 PM: Well, I thought I had checked the MTA website before I left the apartment, but I guess something happened after I left...

The D Train was doing its thing along the express track, then once we got to 72nd Street it stopped.... Then it moved ahead a couple feet and stopped again... Then ahead a little... Stop. For about five minutes! Then it moved a little more... Stop... -And we were literally just feet away from the Columbus Circle platform - I was in the front train and could see all the signal lights... Which were all red... And then came the announcement that due to an incident at 50th Street, all A/B/C/D trains were being shifted over to 6th Ave. after Columbus Circle... So, they were literally shuffling trains back and forth for about ten more minutes before we pulled into the station proper. Luckily, I was able to transfer over to the 1 train to get to Times Square. -Normally, I would have walked down from Columbus Circle, but since the train was delayed, and it's so friggin' cold(!!!!) outside, opted to stay underground for as long as possible.

Post by: JoseSPiano on March 05, 2007, 10:06:30 PM: In any case...

Avenue Q still makes me laugh, cry, giggle and smile. Sometimes all at once. The show is in very good shape. It's been a while since I've seen the show, and it was neat picking up some of the tweaks they've done since they opened. -Most of them are as a result of the Vegas production. An old and dear friend of mine, Jen (I introduced her to her husband years ago - and they now have three kids!), came with me, and she hadn't seen the show yet, so it was neat having a fresh pair of eyes and ears sitting next to me. She loved it too.

And in honor of the 1500th show, they gave out cupcakes after the show - yellow cake, chocolate frosting, with an orange Q on top. :)

"Art touches people in ways that words can't and my goal in life is to touch as many people as possible."

I had to stifle my laughter when I first noticed that right in the middle of one of the first place kid's performance... :D
