Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Ides infested, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're singing Ides Didn't Know What Time It Was.
-
And the word of the day is: FARTLEK!
-
My telephonic device has been curiously silent all the livelong day and evening.
-
Ah, nothing like a fresh new page to post on.
-
We don't need no stinking WUSSBURGERS.
-
And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to clem364 and JB, whomever they may be.

Last night, I came home and ate some pizza rolls (very good) and drank some diet Pepsi. During the eating, I watched "Grey's Anatomy." After that, I started to watch a bit of "October Road," but for some reason, I just had no interest in watching it at all, so I didn't. I switched over to "Raines" and it was more interesting to me. I never heard what Raines' first name was, so every time I heard or saw the name Raines, I wondered if his first name is Ron. :)
-
Okay, I just checked and Raines' first name is Michael...not Ron. Oh, well. ::)
-
After I watched "Raines" (live), I watched the first 40 minutes of "Ugly Betty" that I had recorded on my DVR. The reason I only watched the first 40 minutes is because at about the 40 minute mark, the show froze for a few moments then jumped back to the menu as if that was all that had been recorded! The bar that shows the elapsed time showed that there were 20 minutes left, but it wouldn't play past that point. This is the third time that it's happened, so it really must be the DVR. >:( I'll have to tape onto VHS tapes the shows that I've recorded (and hope that no other shows are affected) and get a replacement DVR. :P
-
After "Ugly Betty," I watched a bit of a new DVD that I got from an Amazon Marketplace seller, Anarchy TV (http://www.amazon.com/Anarchy-TV-Jonathan-Penner/dp/B000083C83/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-7422810-3076119?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1174032369&sr=1-1). It has several of the Zappa kids in it and an actor who played the recurring character of a time policeman from "Star Trek Enterprise." It has something to do with a bunch of people taking over a religious local TV station and doing nude aerobics instead (male and female full frontal nudity :o). I'll have to watch the whole thing. And the naked people (well, the men) are nice to look at. ;)
-
Good morning, all! I have to schlep down to the City Hall area this morning and postpone jury duty, which is scheduled to begin on March 29. I have no idea if we'll be moving the office around then, but I feel obligated to keep my time open in case. After that, I have a bit of time in Toyland, then another trek to the NYPL Music Collection to continue my perusal of editions.
TOD:
CD: The Brain from Planet X, BK's Stephen Schwartz album, Don Carlo (Verdi)
DVD: those three Netflix films from early March
VCR: three guesses!
-
Good morning. I'm listening to Alan Titchmarsh on BBC Radio 2 right now.
-
Vibes to Mr Sherlock Bones!
Travel vibes to DR CILLA LIZ for NOW and to DR EDISAURUS on her upcoming trip.
Have fun today, DR JOSE!!

Well that picture disappeared!
-
TOD:
DVD - ALL THE KINGS MEN last year's version.
CD - John Barry's BORN FREE, great to have this on the FSM release.
VHS - HARLOW with Ms Carroll Baker, again
MR BK thanks for the Hemingway report. I agree that ADVENTURES OF A YOUNG MAN rambles....but I think it's my favorite Richard Beymer performance because he does a much better job than usual, and my guess is it's because of director Martin Ritt.
-
Sorry Jack, I'm trying to re-size them so they don't send us into Cinemascope
-
Here are some food pictures to brighten your morning. They come about because I mentioned yesterday that I had spotted dick while in London in December of 2003. We had a nice restaurant called Benjy's which was just around the corner from our flat. We had dinner there the night after we arrived and I had the infamous spotted dick for dessert.
-
Ah, that's better.
Here is the menu from Benjy's
-
Here is a full English breakfast as made by our dear friends in Nottingham.
-
Here is our dinner one night in Nottingham. Take away fish and chips from the Athens Fish and Chips Shop. What a Greek was doing running a fish and chips shop in Nottingham, I'll never know.
-
Here is the very same Toad-in-The-Hole which Edi posted yesterday. We purchased it at Sainsbury's. It actually was not bad for a frozen dinner.
-
Sorry Jack, I'm trying to re-size them so they don't send us into Cinemascope
LOL.....I hear ya! 8)
-
And finally, a certain individual standing in the frozen foods aisle of Sainsbury with an interesting (to say the least) food product.
-
Prepared in foils to cook at home!!!
What could be simpler, I ask you?
-
So, Edi, about Friday, March 30th. I will get tickets for S&V beforehand but when will you be at the theatre? There are no times listed yet for the film. The Web site says "Coming Soon Opens Friday March 30th" Will you be holding a red rose so we may recognize you :D
-
So DR CASON do many See-lebriteez come into your establishment?
-
TOD
Norhing planned but will probably have something playing in the car cd.
-
Off to work. Hopefully the computers will be working today.
My AMAZON order of the Lucy-Desi set has shipped finally!
One of the reviews says that Tallulah's line about being allergic to strawberries has been edited from the show (though included in the extras) - how can that be when it is a MAJOR plot point?
Wha' hoppened?
-
DR Ben, your pics made me giggle--and hungry.
-
TOD:
iPod: Irish music! The Chieftans, Carrantuohill and Gaelic Storm. And maybe THE QUIET MAN soundtrack.
Tivo: Nothing of note currently, though maybe I'll do another rental from Amazon.

Friday morning greetings! Winter has returned to SW Ohio - it's about 40o colder than it was 2 days ago.
Media report - iPod: Ilene Graff's Baby's Broadway Lullabies, which I found on iTunes on a search for "They Were You" and the Boston Pops' Celtic Album, conducted by Keith Lockhart, on whom my 88-year-old mother has a terrific crush.
DVD - Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro (thanks, DR Elmore :-* !)

Oh, today's an information waitressing day for me, so I'll be in and out here on HHW.

Yesterday DR RonP wrote:
Jennifer, thank you so much for clarifying for me what my opinions are.
I hope you will note that I never made any claim that MY OPINIONS were anyone else's.
Indeed, I wish to assure you that I take your opinions at face value as being only YOUR opinions, as well.
I can assure you I hold the same regard for your opinions as you do mine.
Oh well! I actually do look foward to reading everyone's opinions about IDOL. And have high regard for them all.

The weather has changed for the worse here in NY. After a few beautiful late winter days we now have a light snow which is supposed to turn into 3-5 inches of mush by later today. Of course with the weather back in the 50s by the middle of next week the cold won't last long but it's certainly unpleasant while it lasts.

**TRAVEL VIBES** for DR Cillaliz!!
**HEALTHY VIBES** for DD Sherlock!!
And thanks, DR Ben, for the great photos.

We actually used fartlek training on the swim team in high school.

DR JoseSPiano, I'll bet you've got many great audition, rehearsal, and performance stories.
How many bars does a singer get at a typical audition these days, in your experience?

Xerox is moving in and taking 3 floors of our building, so today is packing and moving day here at the office. Perhaps they'll let us pack and leave early due to projected snow and ice?

Illya, Darling is at long last being released on CD.
For those who care about such things.
-
Oy! I forgot I have a date at Realtime msic this afternoon, so all my plans have been flipped. I've decided to do laundry and work on reports.
-
All I know of Illya, Darling is that they used the song from the movie, Never on a Sunday and that Melina Mecouri, who starred in the movie also starred in the Broadway show.
Illya, Darling (http://www.castalbumdb.com/rec.cfm?RNumber=539)
It was also discussed in one of Peter Filichia's columns recently as a precursor to the jukebox musical. Here is a link to said column.
Peter and Illya (http://www.theatermania.com/peterfilichia/index.cfm?date=20070223)

Thanks for the Filichia link, DR Ben.
His column raises some interesting questions.

So, Edi, about Friday, March 30th. I will get tickets for S&V beforehand but when will you be at the theatre? There are no times listed yet for the film. The Web site says "Coming Soon Opens Friday March 30th" Will you be holding a red rose so we may recognize you :D
Why, I will be wearing my Happy Fingers® beenie, of course! (I really do wish I had one!)
We'll be there before and after the next to the last show (7 or 8?) on both Friday and Saturday (Peter will also be there on Sunday) and then go somewhere nearby for a drink or coffee. Then we may go back to the theatre to be there in case anyone has questions after the last show, or in case anyone else we know went to the late show and wants to go out afterwards.
-
DR Ben. your pictures brought back fond memories of visiting my editor friend in London back in '91. I hadn't seen him since we had worked together back in '78, although we had kept in touch all those years. The first thing he wanted to do was go to Sainsbury's and pick up things I might like. it was the first time I had seen all these things---Spotted Dick, Toad in the Hole, and I couldn't stop laughing about it. Those are great pictures!
-
Ben, this is a more accurate photo than the beenie picture. But I won't be in front of an editing computer, as I was when I took this:
-
Another take on the Ides of March. "I'm Your Vehicle, Baby"!
-
Ah, yes. You have jogged my memory. I remember this picture being posted a while ago when you first being posting.
My memory is now finished with the jog and has returned to my brain so I may continue working on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

DR FJL -
kitschy coup[/i]??
Attention must be paid. :)
-
Edi - Just wanted to make sure you saw that new discount code for Drowsy Chaperone, which is 5PLAY. Alas and a lack, there's a lack of a truly substantial discount, it's $85 for a $110 seat, but it looks like you get the same seats for the discount as you would at regular prices.
-
I guess the discounts are getting chintzier now that schools are out for their various spring breaks and tourists are becoming more plentiful in NYC.
-
Is that how you spell "chintzier?"
-
It's correct according to Freedictionary.com
Chintzier (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/chintzier)
-
Looks like it could also be one of those mansierres Miss Karen was talking about, made out of chintz. :)
-
Do mansires wear mansierres?
-
Good morning!
It started raining at 2:25 a.m. (I know the time because it woke me up when it started hitting the windows), and it's been raining ever since. So a cool, rather dreary day for us here.
-
Horse!
-
Mule!
-
No, DR JRand, I don't think the strawberry line was cut from the show. I remember distinctly hearing her mention it during the dinner party. Of course, I did watch the outtakes and it may have been there and I'm confusing them.
Anyway, you'll soon see and hear for yourself.

Last night's RAINES is also being repeated on NBC tonight at 10 p.m.

I spent all morning watching the special features on the second disc of the new PETER PAN set. A couple of worthwhile new features on this disc to set it apart from the previous Special Edition. One goes into detail about the original plans for PETER PAN as a feature made in 1937 to come after SNOW WHITE. Some eye-opening changes concerning beginning the story on Never Land instead of in the Darling nursery, having Nana accompany the children to Never Land and leaving John behind in London.

iPod: Irish music! The Chieftans, Carrantuohill and Gaelic Storm. And maybe THE QUIET MAN soundtrack.
Way to go Dan the Man! I've got Irish music in the CD player in prep for St. Paddy's day...The Chieftans with Van the Man Morrison....

Do mansires wear mansierres?
Dear Naomi Dingdaw ~ You need to ask?!...... ;) ;)
-
And the word of the day is: FARTLEK!
Is that Scandinavian derivative of....never mind...
-
Last night, I came home and ate some pizza rolls (very good) and drank some diet Pepsi. During the eating, I watched "Grey's Anatomy." After that, I started to watch a bit of "October Road," but for some reason, I just had no interest in watching it at all, so I didn't. I switched over to "Raines" and it was more interesting to me. I never heard what Raines' first name was, so every time I heard or saw the name Raines, I wondered if his first name is Ron. :)
I tried watching that October Road, too, and stayed with it to the end thinking maybe it would pick up steam, but...don't think I'll tune in next time...the storyline didn't ring true (I never bought that the guy would leave and never call anyone during the 10 years and his excuse for using his girlfriend's real name in his book was stupid, to name a few bad plot lines) and some of the acting didn't ring true...the script came across very contrived...
-
I cannot tell you how often I've incorporated fartleks into my daily routine.
I'd love to tell you, but I cannot.
-
And many times I've felt a fartlek coming on and had to stifle the urge.
-
Poor Sherlock..hope his doc gets him fixed up good as new...
-
My "The Ultimate James Bond Bundle" arrived in yesterday afternoon's UPS delivery.
Sigh. So many DVDs and so little time.
-
Looks like it could also be one of those mansierres Miss Karen was talking about, made out of chintz. :)
Yes, I envision a calico pattern with little shamrocks instead of flowers -- I wonder if green is in DR Naomi's palate? One could always be customed made...
-
Ben, this is a more accurate photo than the beenie picture. But I won't be in front of an editing computer, as I was when I took this:
I think this is a great idea -- all the HHWers need to post a recent photo ... oh, maybe not -- I like thinking one of the HHWers looks like Charlie Brown, one is a little girl planting flowers in her Phoenix garden, one is a raving wizard, one has a full head of hair under his cap, one is a robot, and one is....(and even with your photo, DR Edi, I still can't get rid of the image of a little kid in a striped T-shirt wearing a hand beanie while laboring at the Avid..)
-
And the word of the day is: FARTLEK!
The ARK FELT far from safe the day the elephants decided to take up FARTLEK training.
-
That IS a recent photo of me!
-
Esteemed BK, I am surprised at part of your comments about Casino Royale, saying that the torture scene didn't feel like something out of James Bond. That scene was taken from Fleming's original novel! Even the "scratched" line was in the novel! If that doesn't count as being like something out of James Bond, I don't know what does.
-
After "Ugly Betty," I watched a bit of a new DVD that I got from an Amazon Marketplace seller, Anarchy TV (http://www.amazon.com/Anarchy-TV-Jonathan-Penner/dp/B000083C83/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-7422810-3076119?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1174032369&sr=1-1). It has several of the Zappa kids in it and an actor who played the recurring character of a time policeman from "Star Trek Enterprise." It has something to do with a bunch of people taking over a religious local TV station and doing nude aerobics instead (male and female full frontal nudity :o). I'll have to watch the whole thing. And the naked people (well, the men) are nice to look at. ;)
Will you be loaning this to DR Elmore?
-
And finally, a certain individual standing in the frozen foods aisle of Sainsbury with an interesting (to say the least) food product.
So, Ann Coulter was calling John Edwards a sausage?
Of course, being a senator, he would know about pork!
-
Wow.
I have so many people trying to dress me, I feel like a gazelle in a haberdashery.
-
So, Edi, about Friday, March 30th. I will get tickets for S&V beforehand but when will you be at the theatre? There are no times listed yet for the film. The Web site says "Coming Soon Opens Friday March 30th" Will you be holding a red rose so we may recognize you :D

Of course with the weather back in the 50s by the middle of next week the cold won't last long but it's certainly unpleasant while it lasts.
I don't know whether to envy you or offer my sympathies.
Actually, it's difficult to wish my weather upon you IF you have any allergies or sensitivities to pollens.
We are absolutely besieged by pollen. Every flowing tree/shrub/bulb in the Bay Area is abloom and abursting at the seams with pollens.
My eyes have been burning for DAYS....my sinuses are raw...and the total physiological effect leaves me mildly exhausted.
Would I welcome a bit of winter? YES. But would I want to go through this again? Not this year.
So....you guys still have this to look forward to while scooping the slush off stoops, steps and sidewalks.
-
You could wear a green carnation!
I think both of you should carry a copy of "War and Peace" with a red rose as a bookmark!
....don't let it end, Dear Friend......

CD player - a trio of Van Dyke Parks discs and the Doctor Who soundtrack.
DVD player - Casino Royale (watched it again last night - I watched the features on the second disc earlier this week)
BOOK - The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook. Even though those guys look creepy geeky to me.
-
Well, let's just say it wasn't shot like anything from a Bond film. It looked like something out of an episode of Alias.
I'll have to reread Casino Royale to see how Fleming wrote it. Much of Casino Royale felt like a pumped-up episode of Alias, along with every other action movie of the last few years. I didn't mind the scenes with Eva Green, and I liked the gambling stuff.
-
Oh, and I'm up - late. My little allergy problems had me up at seven, but I took an Actifed and went back to bed.
-
We are experiencing a very nice rain here in Rehoboth. Mikey made sure that I knew it was raining by waking me up while wet. Not that I couldn't hear the rain.
-
Good morning to dear Esteemed, jogged, shipped, written, viewed, and non-waxed BK --
Continued vibes and congrats on the new book coming along so well!! And I also wanted to make an offer of absolutely unselfish help ...........
If any of those "West-Hollywood, pumped, muscled, and chest-waxed" persons are cluttering up your yard, sidewalk, Living Room, or other areas -- why, you just call me and I'd be happy to just pile them up and get rid of them for you!!
The things I do out of admiration and good christian-jewish love and concern. Oy !
-
We are supposed to get a big snowstorm overnight too. Yuck, I thought we were done with snow!
-
[[ Hello, page 4.... how are you this morning?? ]]
-
Page Four Dance -
Your choice. We can either dance to "Raining In My Heart," from Dames At Sea, or "It's Raining on Prom Nite," from Grease.
"Singing In the Rain" is a third possibility, but it doesn't have a charming soliloquy in the middle like the other two.
-
Well, let's just say it wasn't shot like anything from a Bond film. It looked like something out of an episode of Alias.
Much of Casino Royale felt like a pumped-up episode of Alias, along with every other action movie of the last few years.
As in "...breathless action scenes for the sake of breathlessness and nothing more...?"
I found those scenes intense, overlong and way-too-incredible to believe fully.
BUT...I loved the new Bond...and think that Craig should remake all the originals. "Casino Royale" was always problematic for the Bond producers...and look at what we got in the first filming!!!
-
And for the TOD :
DVD - "Infamous" which I think I enjoyed even a little more than "Capote."
CD -- I almost hate to admit this, but it is STILL the "Brain" CD in my car player.
You know that you are sick, when you keep a little paper in the car to log how many times you actually do "Kimmel hands" and a look of terror on your face, at the end "stinger" of the "title song," "Now," and the reprises.
My count? 32 so far.... and yes, some strange looks from fellow drivers if it happens at a red light!
-
It's too late for Soon It's Gonna Rain, but not for Rain on the Roof.
-
and now.... instead of Dino at the Piano... we have DR Naomi and her all-girl aquarium!
Rock on, Dingdaw !

do "Kimmel hands"
Please explain? ???
-
And with that silliness, I must away and get many things accomplished today.
TTFN
-
It's about this........whale.
[a Wonderful Town reference]
-
all the HHWers need to post a recent photo ...
Of which persona? :)
-
Oh, OK...... "Kimmel hands" is what we dubbed the very wonderful pose that you can see a picture of on the booklet to the "Brain" CD. The entire company, looking stage right and up, absolute terror on their faces, and the arms raised and the hands pulled backwards (as if to fend off unknown evil) .
At a wonderful dinner at Genghis Cohen, we all figured that if Bob Fosse had his trademark "look" of hand movement in his shows, then our dear Esteemed Bruce deserved to have his own "signature look" and it became "Kimmel hands."
-
I thought last night's SMALLVILLE was one of the most touching ever!
-
Wow.
I have so many people trying to dress me, I feel like a gazelle in a haberdashery.

Ah, thanks, DR MusicGuy. My copy of the Brain has been shipped from Amazon, so I will soon be in the know...

And i also loved last night's UGLY BETTY!

I also really dislike the story with betty's father's case worker. It was slightly amusing when it began. But i really dislike it now.
But i loved her orthodentist, and i loved the storyline with betty and the accountant (henry) and his girlfriend.
And i also thought the stuff with the dress was hilarious.

I found those scenes intense, overlong and way-too-incredible to believe fully.
Yes, as I said in the notes, when they're doing things that you can only do in a computer, then I'm done. Jumping from metal platform to metal platform two hundred feet in the air - please. I'm done. Jumping from a very high roof to the ground below - ouch - broken legs or neck - but not a rollover and up and at 'em. I'm done. The fight between Robert Shaw and Connery in From Russia - I'm there. I believe. Even though it's fake, I believe because they believe and they're not doing a Hong Kong ballet.

I also remember the "strawberries" line coming from Tallulah, and I didn't watch the outtakes. Maybe I'm mis-remembering, though.

Chinchy bassads!

SWW, so glad you and Der B are enjoying the VDP. Relieved, in fact.
A composer who was trying to get the job scoring Ociee bought some VDP since I told him that's who I intended to use if the negotiations went well.
He wanted to hear VD's music. When he met with me again and I told him we had indeed secured the services of Mr. Parks, he almost threw the CD's in my face and said "Here, you can have these, I don't want them". He didn't like the music, and he didn't like, even more, that he didn't get the job.

Will we never get to page five?
I believe WE WILL!

Are we STILL on page four?

So it is written, so it shall be done - page five.

Here's an excerpt from Time Out London (http://www.timeout.com/film/news/1529.html) re Casino Royale
And what about the free-running sequence that everyone seems to be talking about?
I have worked with free runners before, so my team went out to the Bahamas a month before we got there and blocked out a route where we could go. When we got there we zoned in on the big jumps, and that sort of thing has never been done before. Most of the time you'll see a single jump and then a cut, but we've done a 140 foot jump followed by a 120 foot and then a 100 foot, all in one shot.
Using wires I take it?
Yup, we use wires and a stunt double. It's a really dangerous stunt – because we were 140 feet up, and being next to the coast it was quite windy. So the cranes were moving the whole time. Even though we rehearsed it, it was constantly swaying so the distances were constantly changing. So if the stunt guy overshot it, he overshot it, but if he undershot, he could quite easily smash his face on the cable works. It was a very technical stunt, and there was lots of rigging and a helicopter shot, so everything had to be spot on. But yes, we did use wires, and CGI will be used to get rid of them, though it won't be taking over in this film. It's back to basics – stunt people doing real stunts.
I don't consider using CGI to remove the wires to be excessive. Plus, in issue 108 of Cinefex (not available online, sorry), there's a story on the stuntwork and special effects used in the film - use of greenscreen, models, sure, but not a lot of CGI.
As for free running (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_running), it's been featured in films before, and Sebastien Foucan, who plays the guy Bond is chasing, is one of the sport's leading proponents. Combine his very real athleticism with wire work, and that's how the sequence was made.

Well, Ron, you did it almost single handedly.
You helped, Ben....you helped!

While I don't mind Daylight Saving, the 3 week difference this year does muck up my BBC listening schedule. I keep forgetting that we are now just 4 hours behind England. I tuned in to listen to Desmond Carrington and his program about Tommy Steele but it's still Drive Time and Chris Evans is gabbing right now. Desmond and Tommy won't be on until 3pm EST

Yes, the start of the weekend, my busiest workdays of the week!

Speaking of working, it's time for me to get ready.
Maybe I can con der Brucer into driving me to work today.
I'll have to convince him he won't melt in the rain walking from the front door to the car.
And he does need cough drops, since the dogs got to his supply.
Isn't it nice they know how to take care of their sore throats?

Woops! Glad I saw this before 3pm EST. The link:

Me, too, Jane. I thought I was the only one. It'd take me a week to eat that much food.

Poor Sherlock..hope his doc gets him fixed up good as new...
Jose, DtM, JRand, & Singdaw, thank you for the good vibes.
MBarnum, yes, poor Sherlock. Having his puppy hood interrupted. He should be out playing & having fun.
Miss Karen, once we finally get in to see the doc. Right now the first appointment for the consult, who knows about the surgery, is April 5th. That means a full 6 weeks in total since his problem began & he has not been permitted to run or play. Then we are possibly looking at another 8 weeks before he is completely healed.
-
FEEL BETTER VIBES -- IDES VIBES -- TO DR RON!!!

Thanks so much, Ben! I will be able to listen to it until I have to start dubbing or anything that involves the sound board.
Sweet!

FEEL BETTER IDES VIBES TO DD SHERLOCK, TOO!

Jeanne :)
-
Thanks Jeanne.
I'm hoping the doctor has a cancellation and we can get an appointment for a week earlier, still too far off but he has a bacterial infection & needs to complete his round of antibiotics first.

It's always so difficult when a pet is ill. I have not pets at the moment, but I've been through it many times. My sympathies.
-
Thank you. After loosing 5 pets in a several years I had said "no more pets!". And I meant it.
Keith needed another dog, far more than I did. No regrets. Sherlock is just about everything we wanted, big, beautiful, sweet, calm & he is a really nice dog. We also wanted not to deal with big dog growth issues. Of course there are never any guarantees there, no matter how thoroughly you check the family tree. We knew the risks, just couldn't resist the breed.
-
DR Jane,
Dog Bosco, Freddy and I send our vibes to Sherlock!
...also, my neighbors Rod and Suzanne were very intrigued by your dog...they just got a puppy golden retriever named Amber who is a little darling dog!
-
I had picked out the name Amber for a cat until I found out I was getting a boy, not a girl cat (different cat). I really like the name for an Amber colored pet.
I was hoping Sherlock & Bosco could meet on our next trip to Portland-guess that will have to wait now.

Good Afternoon!
Well... I lazed in a bed a few more minutes than I should have this morning, so by the time I did get out of bed, I was rushing a bit to make it downtown. -And then I couldn't find my MetroCard hold (which I did find)... Then I couldn't find my wallet (which is still M.I.A. :-\)... Then because of the snow and sleet, I had to bundle up, put on the boots, etc., etc., etc.
-Of course, I ended up catching a train as soon as I was down on the platform, so I had 20 minutes to spare by the time I got to the studios. Better early, than not paid. ;)
-
Good morning!
So a cool, rather dreary day for us here.
We'd call that a nice spring day out here!

TOD: Jeepers Creepers at the office
The car cd player is not in the mood to work today, but Brain is in it.
-
So, this morning, I was listening the tapping of a many, many pairs of tapping feet - and tap shoes. -And they were all quite good. Alas, since there were about 40 people in the room during each "round", it was a bit loud (which is sort of an understatement). Thankfully, the director and casting director took nice breaks between groups so that we all had time to recover aurally.
-Oh, and this was an audition for 42nd Street. And there really were some amazing tappers that came in this morning.
-
Seems like people all over town love our Larry (and Bruce too). I just came across a CD by:
Darrin Baker (http://www.darrinbaker.com/)
In the booklet he says if you see Larry Moore on the street, you should run up and give him a big kiss because he was one of the people who made the CD come to life. He also lists a Mr. Bruce Kimmel as one of his inspirations.
-
And after heading down one flight of stairs, I'm back in All About Us Land for the rest of the afternoon. And since the choreographer is going over "prop vocabulary", I have a sort of break. And so I read and post...

DR JoseSPiano, I'll bet you've got many great audition, rehearsal, and performance stories.
How many bars does a singer get at a typical audition these days, in your experience?
It's still the usual 16 or 32 bars. Basically, a verse and refrain. Or just the refrain. I just wish the schools would stop teaching that "16 Bars Means 16 Bars". No one is counting bars. And if you're doing 16 bars of a ballad, well, then you get more time to sing than if you were doing 16 bars of an uptempo. Basically, since a whole "idea", or 30 seconds. Whichever comes first.
*However, for Equity calls and appointment, the courtesy of singing a full song is still granted (and expected). -Now, if it's an Equity chorus call, and there are tons of people in line, then the producers can state just how many bars they would like to hear, have the time to hear. It usually starts at 16, then down to 8... Then even sometimes down to 4.
-
Thanks, Ben. I thoroughly enjoyed that interview. I will try to send a link to the archived one to the actress who played "Silent Susan" in FINIAN'S RAINBOW. She might get a kick out of it. (She lives here in Atlanta.)
-
DR FJL et al - In case you missed "Grey's Anatomy" or any other ABC program, just head to ABC's website. You can watch most of their main programs online the day after they air.

Illya, Darling is at long last being released on CD.
For those who care about such things.
I've never heard this recording. I think that I might have the album, but I don't remember...my records aren't in any order any more.
-
...And I really just hope that my wallet is on my desk, buried under some mail. Or on the kitchen table. Or on my dresser... I hope. Really I do. *Thankfully, I knew that lunch was being provided today - and I always keep a couple of Clif Bars in my bag whenever I know I have some long work days coming up. -Sometimes, a real "lunch" does not happen. And since I had my MetroCard, I was able to head out this morning, and I really didn't want to waste any more time searching for my wallet.
Yadda-yadda-yadda...
-
I've never heard this recording. I think that I might have the album, but I don't remember...my records aren't in any order any more.
Now, was Illya, Darling ever on CD? For some reason, I seem to remember that title on a CD booklet. -Or not. ???

Waiting... waiting... waiting...
-The sleet and freezing rain is slowing everyone down today it seems.

And finally, a certain individual standing in the frozen foods aisle of Sainsbury with an interesting (to say the least) food product.
I hear that pork faggots is Ann Coulter's favourite meal! Preferably frozen! ;)
-
The weather has changed for the worse here in NY. After a few beautiful late winter days we now have a light snow which is supposed to turn into 3-5 inches of mush by later today. Of course with the weather back in the 50s by the middle of next week the cold won't last long but it's certainly unpleasant while it lasts.
Blame it on the pork faggots! :)

After "Ugly Betty," I watched a bit of a new DVD that I got from an Amazon Marketplace seller, Anarchy TV (http://www.amazon.com/Anarchy-TV-Jonathan-Penner/dp/B000083C83/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-7422810-3076119?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1174032369&sr=1-1). It has several of the Zappa kids in it and an actor who played the recurring character of a time policeman from "Star Trek Enterprise." It has something to do with a bunch of people taking over a religious local TV station and doing nude aerobics instead (male and female full frontal nudity :o). I'll have to watch the whole thing. And the naked people (well, the men) are nice to look at. ;)
Will you be loaning this to DR Elmore?
If he wants it. ::) But probably he won't...it's not porn, but it was cheap. ;)
-
That's a real picture of me, but it is about two years old. I guess I should update it, but other than some gray in my hair (which doesn't show up very prominently in pictures), not too much is different.
-
Will we never get to page five?
It will happen and has happened.
-
Are we STILL on page four?
No, it says page five.

Just another Friday afternoon in the downtown
day shelter for the homeless public library:
A near riot broke out near the computer services area, which resulted in intervention by our ineffectual security guards, which resulted in my co-worker pushing the panic buttons, which resulted in an all-call to the administrators, which resulted in a 911 call to the police, which resulted in the expulsion of half a dozen low-lifes and my mouthing off to our director about how I feel like a fraud when I go out in the community and encourage people to come to this building for resources and programs.
Can anyone say 3-day weekend?
-
It has gotten colder as the day has progressed. By tomorrow night, it's going to be below freezing again, so we're not quite shed of winter yet.
-
No, I don't think ILLYA DARLING has ever been on CD. I listened to the LP once and thought it was so bad that I've never listened to it again. But that was a long time ago. Maybe it would appeal more to me now.
-
I LOVED the stunts, chases, and BIG moments of CASINO ROYALE, but I thought the movie was at least 20 minutes too long mostly from those elaborate set pieces going on and on and on past the point of being impressive. And the poker stuff bored me to tears. I understood its place in the story, of course, but it just seemed to go on forever.
I did order the Blu-ray of the film and thought it might come today, but it didn't.
-
I began my afternoon viewing with THE STORK CLUB starring Betty Hutton, Barry Fitzgerald, and Don Defore. It's really not a musical. All the music is swing band stuff where Betty gets up and sings with the band four times. The rest has some tedious romantic misconceptions that could be explained away in two minutes, but it takes them over 90 in the movie so they'd have a movie. This was crooner Andy Russell's introduction to films, and he makes a negligible impression. I guess he was hired as Paramount's answer to Dick Haymes.
The print TCM showed was in pretty bad shape. Lots of scratches and damage. Watchable and sharp enough, but not in good enough shape for a DVD release if anyone were interested.
-
I looked at a couple of minutes of THE PERILS OF PAULINE, and it looks to be a public domain release, several generations removed from a top notch transfer. To be fair, however, I just looked at the credits and a few seconds more. I'll watch more of it tonight.
-
I watched last night's SMALLVILLE and kept waiting for a twist that never arrived. Boy, they've REALLY gone away from the mythology of the original stories.
-
Finished my afternoon's viewing with last night's SCRUBS, a typical outing with people stealing scrubs from the hospital and some foolishness with J.D.'s stuffed dog Rowdy.
I'm looking more forward to watching ANDY BARKER, P.I., tonight.
-

Did he really? That was very kind of him. The last time I saw Darrin he tld me he'd give me a copy of the CD and he never did! I've lost track of him, so I'll have to buy a copy.

I was just wondering where DR Ron was to help me with all this shameless posting, and ta-dah he just logged on...

You could always go with "Ambrose" for the boy cat.

I don't need to be worried that I'll be the first goddess kicked off the cloud, right?

SWW, so glad you and Der B are enjoying the VDP. Relieved, in fact.
Actually, more than you can imagine!
A lyric with "tintinnabulation" - I'm in love.
A Methodist grandmother who refers to a Sunday afternoon bourbon snort as a "thirst after righteousness" - my kind of people.
Of course it's the instrumentality that really shines! Many musical works paint pictures, Van Dyke Parks projects movement!
I asked Woody where a music store should categorized VDP.
His reply: "Under music too intelligent for its own good."
"Jump", however, is not for the Grandlads yet - that naughty Miss Meadows "Invitation to Sin" ::)
I wish a big name studio would pick him up to do a full-length animated film.

Miss Karen - I'm certainly not one to cast aspersians (sp?) on people who spread their thoughts over several posts.
The way I see it, how will HHW ever get the official title it deserves of the most popular site on the internet unless we help whack up the tally of postings and hits. It's all numbers in this biz, baby, numbers - the tallywhackers don't know anything but numbers, and they're the ones we must satisfy in this biz.

I wondered about "Invitation to Sin" and if it was grandlad friendly. I know those lyrics would have been over my head when I was a kid. Maybe you could make an "edited" version?
VDP was going to do an animated pixar thing but I'm not sure what happened. He does score (withGrant Geissman) the charming children's series HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON.
VDP has an enormous vocabulary and is a formidable crossword-puzzle fan. I've learned a few words from him, ones I can even use in polite company!

What do YOU think about gays in the millinery?

I'm cool with it -- but I think the brass, namely that Gen. Pace guy, has some issues...oh wait, you said millinery...never mind....

Shhh, I think he is working again.

...looks like der Brucer and I were going back through the today's post pages at the same time.. well, actually he was several posts ahead of me...

(still in a whisper) Do we still have to whisper or can I give a shout out to DR Music Guy?

DR Ginny - sorry about your "incident" today. Hope the rest of the weekend is better for you! And that your boss doesn't hold it against you when you speak your mind.

(Note, MusicGuy, that I asked what are the dates, not who are the dates?) :)

A near riot broke out near the computer services area ...
DR Ginny, I am sorry to hear about your lousy experience today. I'm sure you hate excitement of that kind, like I do.
I hope you enjoy a quiet evening home tonight that includes some ice cream.

Well....harumph!
I went to the ASCAP website, looked up the information, and then sent a charming letter to the "publisher"/administrator listed for one of Craig Carnelia's unpublished songs, explaining why I wanted a copy of the music, and how could I get it, I was willing to purchase it, etc., etc.
I just received a response that the song "is not available at this time," but that I was more than welcome to purchase his new songbook, which is the same as the old songbook, except that it has about 5 or 6 new numbers in it. But not the one I was looking for.
Just....harumph!
-
Did he really? That was very kind of him. The last time I saw Darrin he tld me he'd give me a copy of the CD and he never did! I've lost track of him, so I'll have to buy a copy.
I NEVER met Darrin and he NEVER promised me his cd so... I bought my copy quite a few years ago! ;)
(Don't tell Darrin! To me, it's the ladies singing with him that make the cd enjoyable!)

Was he as good a dancer as Danny Lockin?
Oddly enough, Tommy Tune and his "partner" were in the dance everyone participated in after the scenes in Malloy's Millinery Shop.

And what about that blond Harmonia Gardens waiter that appears in the dead center of just about every shot? Was he a "close personal friend" of someone high up on that picture? Hmmmm?

AND while we're on this subject...
I've seen several references to Danny Lockin's "tragic end" - OK H/Ks, no ass jokes here - but never saw that explained. Does anyone know what happened to him?

Yes, I think that's the one. You can't miss him, every shot is framed around HIM rather than Babs!
-

Hmmm....I'm talking about the blond in the "Waiter's Galop" number...without la Streisand.
He IS in the "Hello, Dolly!" number, too, though.
For me, he's the best dancer in the group! I'm guessing his abilities led Michael Kidd to front-and-center him due to those abilities....
-
Of course, I'm certain his looks weren't wasted on anyone behind the camera....

From the opening paragraph in the new Entertainment Weekly cover story:
...there was a chilly January afternoon in Montreal. A bunch of buffed-up manly men stood around a cavernous warehouse, wearing red capes and leather bikini briefs. Though every step outside brought the dreaded threat of shrinkage, there was surprisingly little complaining on the set of the bloody swords-and-sandals epic 300.
-
This is what I learned on IMDB:
Danny Lockin lived in Orange County, California and worked at his mother's dance studio for several years after his appearance in "Hello Dolly" with Streisand. On August 21, 1977, he competed on "The Gong Show" and tied for first place. After the taping of that show in Los Angeles, he drove toward his home in Anaheim, but ended up at a bar in Garden Grove instead. He was later found murdered in a nearby apartment of Charles Hopkins who had stabbed him to death. Police found a "torture diary" under Hopkins' bed and prosecutors tried to pursue the death penalty using the pictures in the diary as evidence that Lockin's death was planned. However, Hopkins' trial was postponed because of a car accident, and in that time (lucky for Hopkins) the California Supreme Court ruled that such evidence found AFTER the initial crime scene investigation was NOT admissible. Without the diary to show premeditation, Hopkins was only found guilty of manslaughter and was sentenced to only four years in prison. Critics said justice hadn't been served, as Lockin was stabbed more than 100 times.

OK---what do we think of the Milford Plaza? I stayed there about 15 years ago and it was kind of a Section 8 dive, but I hear it may have improved. Any thoughts? (average rate $180/night...)
-
I don't remember Tommy Tune visiting the Malloy Hat Shop in HELLO, DOLLY! I remember Michael Crawford and Danny Locke visiting it, and, of course, Walter Matthau.
We saw part of HELLO DOLLY on TV recently. My DH was amazed by this incredibly tall guy who was dancing. He had never heard of Tommy Tune. (I'm working on his musical theatre education.)
I saw TT in some touring show back in the 70's...can't remember what, but my friend was stage manager so I got to meet TT backstage and he was very nice to me and my mom. (We got to meet Rock Hudson, when he was touring with CAMELOT, too.)

what do we think of the Milford Plaza?
I don't know anything at all about the Milford Plaza, but if they still have those singing/dancing porters like in their old television commercials, I would stay there!
-
And since I had had no "real" food today - I had some Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts and some chocolate (courtesy of the stage manager's "Pandora's Box") during rehearsal - I went to the fish place across the street and got some fried shrimp, steamed okra and plantains. Very yummy! -And all for just $5.75! Good eats are always good, but cheap good eats are better!
-
ps - DR elmore3003 - thanks for the research! Though now I'm kind of sorry I asked...

DP and I stayed at the Mildew Plaza on out last two trips to New York. It suited us budget wise. (Of course it was the worst hotel we stayed at in our five weeks in North America). We've stayed there twice now and would do so again (as would DR TCB I think). The only noise problem we had was from outside the hotel - they were redoing the sidewalk and started early in the mornings with their drills).
-
DR edisaurus - The Milford Plaza has gotten better over the years. Just know that they have "small" rooms, and then they have small rooms. If you happen to get a small room upon check-in, just go back to the front desk and ask for a "small" room.

Seems like people all over town love our Larry (and Bruce too). I just came across a CD by:
Darrin Baker (http://www.darrinbaker.com/)
In the booklet he says if you see Larry Moore on the street, you should run up and give him a big kiss because he was one of the people who made the CD come to life. He also lists a Mr. Bruce Kimmel as one of his inspirations.
I have that CD and it is quite good. Darrin is on Little By Little Produced by BK
(http://www.brucekimmel.com/images/littleby.jpg)
Larry did the orchestrations especially for the cast recording

"Pandora's Box" was a group created by Jim Steinman and featured Ellen Foley. Dance of The Vampires's song "Original Sin" was taken from their album.
Meatloaf fan DR Danise (Has anyone heard if she is OK?) woud no doubt know the album.
-
I'll be back.
You and Arnold, too.
-
You can do that?
Yes, you can. In fact, I believe a DR or two may have done such a thing in the past.
*Plus, they want to keep you happy since you're the customer, so... Happy customers mean repeat business.
-
DR Ginny - sorry about your "incident" today. Hope the rest of the weekend is better for you! And that your boss doesn't hold it against you when you speak your mind.
DR singdaw - thanks for the concern. It helps to know that I could retire any time I decide I can live on the monthly pension. The closer I can get to 30 years in the state retirement system (I'm at 27.5 now) the better it'll be. And I think it got the boss's attention because I'm not one of the chronic complainers.

Yes he was quite memorable. I have been trying to find out who he is. Babs never calls him by name in song and there are other uncredited dancers including the guy who played Ice in West Side Story. (TUCKER SMITH) Whom you see for about 10 seconds in the Sunday Clothes number. He is on the train.
Anyone know who the blond dancer with glasses is?

For the second day my email is not "working". I can access through the my provider's website but that really is a nuisance. I'm hoping that I've not inadvertently changed a setting on my PC .

Well... Our wonderful stage manager keeps an old tackle box filled with Lifesavers, Jolly Ranchers, Hershey Kisses, Hershey Miniatures, etc., etc., etc. on her table. And she labeled it "Pandora's Box". -And it's right next to the tin of Ricola Cough Drops and the tin of Altoids.
-
DR GINNY - do you think riot gear will become mandatory in your section?
-
I posted a recent picture this week....with my rusty spade.

Well, thanks! I was trying to get a copy of Just Where They Should Be, which is a hidden bonus track on Jason Graae's...I think it's the Live at the Cinegrill album.
-
Well....I think this week will be HDTV week for me. I will probably go with Plasma rather than projection.....
Scary....but we shall see what we shall see.

DR JoseSPiano, please tell us that your wallet was on your desk.
Oh, yes... I meant to mention that earlier. My wallet was in my room. Whew! It was not on my desk, but on a box opposite my desk. Under the Duane Reade bag with my cough drops in it.
-
Well, thanks! I was trying to get a copy of Just Where They Should Be, which is a hidden bonus track on Jason Graae's...I think it's the Live at the Cinegrill album.

Not Ian Tucker - Tucker Smith played Ice and yes, does appear in the Hello, Dolly Put On Your Sunday Clothes number.
Re Danny Lockin - another wonderful instance of the "judicial system" favoring the criminal instead of the victim. Who CARES when they found the diary? They found it, and it should have been allowed as evidence.
-
Ooohh! -Finally going through my mail....
DR Dan (the Man) - Thank You!

The upcoming Asia tour. Mark Bramble is directing. Ensemble call this week - and next Monday. Leads are being cast the following week.

DR GINNY - do you think riot gear will become mandatory in your section?
Just might, DR JRand! Do you have an astrological explanation for the behaviors we experienced today?
-
...And I have to say I was simply in awe at how fast those dancers picked up the dance steps, the combination. There were times when the choreographer would just say the sequence of the steps, and then it was right to, "OK... Now from the top... 5... 6... 5, 6, 7, 8.." And there was one young man, a recent college grad, who came in. Very wholesome looking, very casually dressed, very unassuming... And then he proceeded to out-tap everyone in the room! WOW!

Ron-LOL-Ambrose is better than what Keith insisted naming the cat. I loved Knudson but hated his name. This was the cat that was obsessed with food so Keith decided he needed to be named for the Knudson (silent K for those who don’t know) dairy products. That might have been okay on the west coast but very few people in Michigan had heard of Knudson’s.

And I learned from her and from one of my co-workers that if you ask at the CI for a front room (one that faces 46th St) it's much larger. However, the floodlights on the front of The Muse create an interesting nightlight effect...

Yes he was quite memorable. I have been trying to find out who he is. Babs never calls him by name in song and there are other uncredited dancers including the guy who played Ice in West Side Story. (IAN TUCKER) Who see him for about 10 seconds in the Sunday Clothes number. He is on the train.
Anyone know who the blond dancer with glasses is?
I don't know who he is, but isn't it Tucker Smith who played Ice in WEST SIDE STORY and can be glimpsed among the ensembles in the movies of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS and HELLO, DOLLY!
Oh, I see bk already corrected the name in an earlier post.

I've stayed at the Milford Plaza several times. Yes, the rooms are not large, but I had no problem with them and would stay there again if needed. I prefer the Edison.
-
I began my evening with the third Luci-Desi adventure - "Lucy Hunts Uranium." Not a great show, but the change in Lucy's hairstyle is striking. June Haver looked lovely.
-
Next, I put in WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. I hadn't watched this in a long, long time. The transfer on the 30th Anniversary Edition probably mirrored the way the movie looked when it was first released with some good color but overly grainy for much of the film. At least it's an enhanced transfer, and the surround sound is nice for a film this old.
-
I finshed the evening starting "The Plymouth Express" from POIROT set #4. Obviously taken from an old videotape master, it looks grainy and dull (some of the later ones look so much better), but I'm glad to have all of the one hour episodes. They're so much fun.

Tomorrow, I'll get to some of the other TV I recorded on Thursday that I didn't get to today.

A short scene from the musical 1776:
Charles Thomson: [calling for a vote]
Where's Rhode Island?
Andrew McNair:
Rhode Island's out visitin' the necessary.
John Hancock:
Well, after what Rhode Island has consumed, I can't say I'm surprised. We'll come back to him, Mr. Thompson.
Charles Thomson:
Rhode Island passes. [Roar of laughter from the Congress]
End.
;)
Now THAT'S elegant!

Off to bed now.
Good night!

Noir America
CYNICS, SLUTS, HEISTS, AND MURDER MOST FOUL.
By Stanley Crouch
...
Barbara Stanwyck, Claire Trevor, Jane Greer, and Peggy Cummins are each but separately the brilliant stars of Double Indemnity; Murder, My Sweet; Out of the Past; and Gun Crazy. They are the essential film noir amalgamations of Eve, Salome, and Carmen: there to bring men down through the pulsating syncopations of their glistening orifices.
...
Let's all give it up for the "pulsating, glistening orifices'!

Today was a really good day at preschool. All the little whippersnappers were very well-behaved, and I hate to say it, but it's because Brody wasn't there. He's the class clown, and he can't resist an audience. Some day, that kid is going to be a prop comic or something of that ilk, but for now he's driving me crazy!

OK---what do we think of the Milford Plaza? I stayed there about 15 years ago and it was kind of a Section 8 dive, but I hear it may have improved. Any thoughts? (average rate $180/night...)
I shall not comment.
I love the place, but Danise hated it.
It is a tourist hotel.

We saw part of HELLO DOLLY on TV recently. My DH was amazed by this incredibly tall guy who was dancing. He had never heard of Tommy Tune. (I'm working on his musical theatre education.)
I saw TT in some touring show back in the 70's...can't remember what, but my friend was stage manager so I got to meet TT backstage and he was very nice to me and my mom. (We got to meet Rock Hudson, when he was touring with CAMELOT, too.)
Was it SEESAW?

SPIDER BABY is on TCM at 2 am EST or EDST whichever we are in now....
I love SPIDER BABY! They showed it at Drive-Invasion a few years ago...I think the same year they showed HOMICIDAL. You can imagine I was quite pleased!
-
He IS in the "Hello, Dolly!" number, too, though.
For me, he's the best dancer in the group! I'm guessing his abilities led Michael Kidd to front-and-center him due to those abilities....
I am sure of that, but how was his dancing?
-

Me too, but there's no room at the inn.

I think it could have been...as you can see, it didn't leave much of an impression on me.
-

Try the stable. If there's a baby called Brian there he is not the Messiah. He is just a naughty boy.

I just received a new photo from my ANNE FRANK castmates. This is of the Van Daan family (in the play).

Yes, that's it! I remembered seeing John Gavin in something, so that must have been it.
The only thing that stuck with me from that show was the phrase:
"local colloquialism". I still use it.

Thank you DR Tomovoz.

Not Ian Tucker - Tucker Smith played Ice and yes, does appear in the Hello, Dolly Put On Your Sunday Clothes number.
Re Danny Lockin - another wonderful instance of the "judicial system" favoring the criminal instead of the victim. Who CARES when they found the diary? They found it, and it should have been allowed as evidence.
Thank you for the correction.

We probably went because we both liked John Gavin.
I liked him in IMITATION OF LIFE, MIDNIGHT LACE, THROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, BACK STREET, etc. But I don't remember anything at all about his stage performance.
Too bad he's a Republican! ;D

He autographed a photo for me about 15 years ago.

I just finished dubbing THE BRAIN. BK, I won't be able to make you a DVD until Monday but do you want me to send you these digis anyway? I don't know how big of a hurry you're in, but I can Fed-Ex them tomorrow AM if you want to go ahead and start sweetening.

I guess I enjoyed it more that you. I thought it was terrific, and the CD from SEESAW with Ken Howard and Michelle Lee is one of my all-time favorites. Of course, at the time I was living the story of the show, with me in the Michelle Lee role.
-
Now that I write that, I'm wondering if that's how you spell "huge". It looks really weird. I hate it when that happens!
-
Would you say that George Clooney is the new John Gavin?

Except for his politics, of course... ;D

I have absolutely no memory of the story line. I remember a bit of the title song. Never has a show left so little an impression on me. But it didn't have anything to do with the show; I was probably in the midst of some teenage angst.

According to my John Holmes' dictionary, that is the correct spelling.

Got a jump start on my weekend Bollywood movie...KABUL EXPRESS (2006). This was India's entry for consideration for the Oscars...and it was a pretty good movie...
...it is about 2 Indian journalists in Afghanistan who hire an Afghan to help take them to a place where they hope they can meet and interview a Taliban fighter. Along the way they hook up with a female American photo-journalist and a Pakistani Talib who takes the group hostage and forces them to drive him to the border. The movie spends 2 days with this group of 5.
This is one of the rare Indian films without any musical numbers...however there is still a soundtrack album (none of the songs are actually featured in the movie, however) but in the extras it has John Abraham and one of the other leads doing a music video to one of the songs.

And, of course, your watching the movie would have nothing to do with John Abraham.

I also agree about DR Cason being huge someday! I really wish there had been some agents at the play, because I am positive Cason would have been snapped up! He really is that good...and he seems to have a level head on his shoulders, also, which should get him far in life!
-

Well of course not...you know me TCB, I am a student of quality film making. I hardly even noticed that John Abraham was in it...(that is why I had to get out my glasses.)

But Cason and the silent soldier (Efrem Sanchez, I think was the actor) were the two who impressed me the most..oh, and the gal who played the daughter (whose name is totally escaping me right now...I am too sleepy).

I loved the Brain, too! Those 3 aliens were the scene stealers for sure in my humble opinion...the general had his moments, but I know how it drives directors nuts when you have a loose cannon on stage (I saw the Brain three times that weekend, and the guy was throwing a lot of stuff in there, some stuck, some didn't so I can see why bk wanted to "brain" him -- espeically if he asked him to stop it -- the guy pulls that on a professional stage and his understudy's gonna love him)

Speaking of our GM, he must have gone to the House of Pies (or some food establishment) after the play -- the witching hour is close at hand and no sign of our fearless leader...
