Well, you've read the notes, the notes were one of the eight million stories in the naked city, and now it is time for you to post until the naked cows come home.

There is an interesting article about synthetic pit orchestras here (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/25/theater/25green.html) in today's New York Times.

And they seem to agree with everything DR JoseSPiano said a few days ago about the Notion software.   :)

I really like Ben Affleck.  And I like FORCES OF NATURE, to a point.  

Lady on the train:  I always thought sex was one of those things God burdened women with, like cramps and high heels.

Ben to Sandra:  Okay well, thanks.  Except for the plane crash and the drug bust, it's been fun.

Sandra to the bus load of senior citizens with whom they have hitched a ride:  This is my husband, the doctor.  We're planning on living in Miami.  I mean, why not?  That place is just one big emergency room, right?  No offense.

Good Morning!

...Or I could end up zonking out on the couch around 10:00 last night... Then wake up around 1:00am to see that "SNL" was ending - so I turned off the TV... Then get up again around 5:00 to see that the lights were still on in the living room... Then, finally, around 5:30, getting up, turning off the lights before heading to my bedroom...

And then logging on to HHW to find 10 pages of posts to catch up on from last night!  Whew!  *At least most of those posts were "fast reads", but still... WHEW!

DR EDISAURUS - much of EIGHT MEN OUT was filmed in Indianapolis and several of my friends are in it...I am in the courtroom sequence near the end as one of the reporters.

I am in the middle of the screen walking up the aisle with my back to the camera in the first courtroom shot.

When John Cusack stands up and demands a separate trial, I am one of the two reporters standing behind him - out of focus (camera wise that is).

When a witness says that the confessions have been stolen, I am the first reporter out of my seat and heading for the door.

It was great fun.  Mr Charlie Sheen was very pleasant to everyone.  Mr Christopher Lloyd was wonderful.  I talked a bit with Mr John Anderson and he was also very nice.  Mr John Sayles and Mr Studs Terkel were always very funny.....and most of us were fired a couple of times a day.

I think I may have a couple of pictures from the set, if I can find them.

I may have to purchase this DVD.

But how was John Cusack? I really like him. And did you meet Bill Irwin? He's SUPER nice! I got to meet him when he came down for a TCM shoot for SILENT SUNDAY NIGHTS. That was thrilling! Then I got to see him several times after that in Broadway shows. I would always introduce myself as "Amy from Atlanta". Last time I saw him, he had assumed I'd moved to NY. LOL!

As for my viewing schedule today, I will start with the SHirley MacLaine movie WHAT A WAY TO GO! this afternoon. I still have an episode of SCRUBS from Thursday night to watch. And the next W.C. Fields movie in the box is THE MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE which I've never seen, and as it's only a little over an hour, I should be able to get to it this afternoon, too.

This week, I got the second season of THE WILD WILD WEST and the first season of MAUDE, both of which I'm very excited about revisiting.

The second season was the first in color for James West, and to see Robert COnrad at his hunkiest in color should be great eye candy. But it's likely I won't get to those until tomorrow. We'll see.

The dinner party was wonderful. 5 couples dining in the midst of a boxwood parterre planted in the 1800's. We dined under the arbor, which was covered in muscadine grape vines. Our hostess hasn't found any good use for the grapes yet.

What an interesting coincidence!  The book I'm reading, The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook, has several recipes involving muscadine grapes.  There's Grape Hull Pie (pages 454-455), Scuppernong Preserves (132-134), Scuppernong Sake (55), and muscadine wine is included in their recipe for Johns Island Iced Tea (43-44).

Oh, and there's also Scuppernong Grape and Hot-Pepper Roasted Duck, (323-324).  Although that recipe says "1/3 cup Scuppernong Preserves or other top-quality grape preserves," which I assume doesn't mean Welch's.

Greetings to DR (and friend of Rhonda Fleming) MUSIC GUY and DR FJL.

DR EDI - you will have to be ready to do some stop AND zoom to find me in EIGHT MEN OUT.

John Cusack was very serious and didn't talk to many people on the set, spent a lot of time by himself.  I think his father played the judge or something.

I didn't see much of Bill Irwin, he wasn't on the set unless film was being made and I didn't see many people approach him or talk to him.  He is taller in REAL LIFE than he appears on TV....as is Cusack.  Charlie Sheen seemed very short compared to Cusack....but then EVERYONE was short standing next to Sayles!

I have three photos taken during EMO - two in the holding area with some friends in our "costumes"....

This is the only ON SET photo I have, taken by my friend Marika who played the wife of one of the players.  The courtroom scenes were filmed in the old Federal Post Office in downtown Indy.

1. Studs Terkel
2. C C Barnes, assistant director who was ALWAYS getting yelled at, but who was surprisingly patient with us...."Take off that watch.  Put that newspaper away.  Who is chewing gum?"

3. Gina Randazzo, 2nd Assistant, talking to me before a "take"...she was very funny, too...and the guys loved her!

4.  Me, myself, being told what to do, and listening, for a change.

5.  Another A.D. - Mr handsome himself Gary Marcus.  This guy was a cutie and had the girl extras all agog.  All he wanted to do was get the hell out of Indiana and get back to California.  No nonsense guy, but pleasant....except when he tossed a gal extra out when she complained about her hairstyle.

6.  D.P. Robert Richardson.  Probably the hardest working guy on the set.  Very quiet.  Short, handsome.

My office is not exactly what anyone would call neat and tidy at the moment, but I do know where things are. I always hate having to do the Big Switcheroo, but it's more emotion than reality.

It's Caspar David Friedrich's picnic basket!

What a bleak vista to regard on a winter’s day - surreal, disturbing, hardly reassuring. Life is just a sweet, perishable thing dropped in the uncaring wastelands of ice and snow and sunless skies. What happened to the fellow who dropped this basket as he staggered across the frozen terrain? Why was he carrying unprotected fruits and vegetables across the Antarctic, anyway?

Inside, the depressing mood continues, as you’ll see.

It wasn’t until much later, when they caught the First Lutheran Church standing over the body of another housewife over in Cass County, that they realized that the spire had been stalking and murdering women for years. This explained why so many women got that creepy feeling that someone was watching them - and when they turned around, they just saw a church. Later, they’d think: wait a minute. There’s no church in our side yard. And by then the church would be gone.

And so much more!

Let’s just say this is the definition of anti-kosher.

Let your next Bar-B-Que use Bar-B-Burgers for a new Bar-B-Trick - but don't let the guests watch you Bar-B-Cook lest they Bar-B-Barf. Not everyone understands this. Not everyone understands that double-rich evaporated undiluted bovine excretion provides essential cohesion properties. No other form of milk will do! Don't even think about using powered wildebeest teat-leak! Drive from your mind all consideration of two-percent swine lactation!

I’ve had burgers fall apart, but never crumble. In those days days when you could get ground beef that was 50% fat.; the burgers fell apart if you sneered at them. But you didn't. Because they were 50% fat. And Lord they were good.

I ended my afternoon with the first episode in the season two DVD set of THE WILD WILD WEST - "The Night of the Eccentrics."

This was the first season the show was shot and shown in color, and oh, boy, is that color breathtaking! If it weren't for the 4:3 aspect ratio and the mono sound, you'd almost swear these shows were shot yesterday. Not a speck of dirt or a scratch anywhere in this transfer.

Great guest cast in this one: Victor Buono as the head of the crime organization, Richard Pryor (looking about 20 years old) as a ventriloquist, and Anthony Eisley as the fastest gun in the west.

But the biggest surprise for me was Paul Wallace (Tulsa in the original Broadway and movie of GYPSY) as the expert knife thrower. He had a rather lamentable British accent, but otherwise, it was the only time I've ever seen him apart from GYPSY, and it was a great moment of realization when I first got a good look at his face.

Quote
Arizona Principal Hesitates to Excuse Absences of GI's Kids
TUCSON, Ariz. —

When her husband comes home to Tucson on leave from Iraq, Keila Rios could face a dilemma she finds infuriating.

She plans to take their children out of school for a week to spend time with their Army dad.

But when she asked for makeup work they could do at home, she initially was told they'd receive zeros if they didn't go to class.

The head of the charter school they attend declared the absences inexcusable and told the Arizona Daily Star that Rios' children would not be allowed to make up missed assignments.

Keila Rios said Griffin told her that families pull kids out of class for all kinds of reasons — from beauty contests to Disneyland vacations — and said it wouldn't be fair to approve her request for makeup work when he's refused the others.

The Rioses are "awesome" parents and their children are exceptional students — but rules are rules, (the principla) said in a telephone interview Thursday morning.

"We have a policy saying we don't give out makeup work for unexcused absences. We can't pick and choose and give preferential treatment."

Of course you can "pick and choose" - it's called management.

Fire this dim-witted dunderhead!

This week, I got the second season of THE WILD WILD WEST and the first season of MAUDE, both of which I'm very excited about revisiting.


I spent last night watching the entire first disk in the MAUDE set.  I loved the show back then and I still love it now.  It's still hilarious.  Great writing and comic acting by Bea Arthur, Bill Macy, Conrad Bain and Ester Rolle.  And I also include Adrienne Barbeau--she is very sharp and funny and witty and held her own with Bea Arthur.  After watching her last night in the first eight episodes, it puzzles me why she did the type of work she went on to after this series ended.  In any case, I'm looking forward to taking in the other two disks in this set.

Hi, I’m here, for how long I have no idea.  One of us has to watch Sherlock at all times to make sure he doesn’t scratch or bite, not just his incisions but the very sensitive shaved areas of skin.

Thank you all for the good wishes and vibes.  I’m sure they helped.  How he ended up with two major problems is beyond us. So much for doing our homework before choosing a breeder, of course the three pups she kept are just fine.  Sometimes these things happen & Sherlock is lucky is parents are extremely pro-active.  I don’t know what would have happened if I hadn’t insisted surgery time be saved for him.

The only good thing, so far, to come out of the elbow dysplasia is we caught the shoulder problem before any damage was done.  The doctor described compared the situation to having blisters about to pop, so he popped them and removed the cartilage (I have it in a tube).  The shoulders were an easy fix & the problem shouldn’t return, and there won’t be any future arthritis as a result of the Osteochondritis.

Post by: Jane on March 25, 2007, 06:27:41 PM
With butterflies in our stomachs Thursday morning we met the doctor who began a very thorough, and at times painful, examination of Sherlock.  He was such a good boy, as always.   We expected to see pain in his shoulders, not his elbows.  The more the doctor examined Sherlock’s elbows the more serious his expression became.  After the exam he looked at the x-rays for the first time.  He found the problem with the shoulders & continued to say this isn’t why he is limping.  Then the doctor pointed to obvious bi-lateral problems with the elbows the radiologist should have seen and proceeded  to explain the seriousness of this and, depending on the amount of damage, the worst case scenario would eventually be a completely crippled dog.

Sherlock has incongruent bone growth in his two front legs which potentially effects his elbows, so elbow dysplsia.  The bones may catch up with each other-the miracle we are praying for-but not likely.  Displasia ultimately causes arthritis which can be crippling, or not too bad.  Initially the doctor wanted to put pins in the shorter bones to even them out, until he did the Cat Scan.  Now that is impossible until he stops growing (Keith & I were both relieved).  Instead he did arthroscopic surgery, as he did on the shoulders, removing cartilage fragments from the right leg.  So far there isn’t any damage.  

We will return in two months to reassess.  If surgery is required it will be a nightmare, one elbow at a time.  Recovery for each surgery will require 8 weeks of confinement in a pen. Of course he would have to be tranquilized the entire time.   Since there hasn’t been any damage so far, and if we can keep it to a minimal, we are hoping to avoid those surgeries even if the bones don’t readjust as he grows.

Post by: Jane on March 25, 2007, 06:36:07 PM
As you can imagine I shed a good number of tears after we left the doctor’s office.  At least he let us take Sherlock to the hotel with us for the night and return him early the next day.

First there was the CT, once out of that we rushed over to discuss the results with the doctor where we received better news than the x-rays showed.  Then they shaved the heck out of Sherlock and did the arthroscopic surgery on both shoulders & elbows, and removed a growth on his ear.

In two weeks his stitches will be removed.  Before then we hope to return to the limited exercise he was having before surgery.  And pray after our next visit we will have better news.

That’s all for now-I’m exhausted.

Didn't have to strip -- sorry boys!

I was up for the character or Ethan -- basically, they had us come in and first sing the opening portion of "Let It Go," then we waited a while, came back in and read Ethan's first scene, then wait more -- then they had all of the guys auditioning for every role come in to dance.  They did a long combo from "Michael Jordan's Ball" -- very basketall-y which then jumps right into a bit of the "strip" from "Let It Go."  Once we all did that, they let everyone go except the Harolds, the Ethans, and the Malcoms.  Harolds just had to "cha-cha-cha" with the choreographer (that's what she said), then the other Ethan and I had to sing alone the duet portion of "You Walk With Me."

Oh Hell, Cason, unless there was a bootleg video of the auditions available for sale, it wouldn't mean a thing to any of us.

As an actor myself, I was more curious how the production would handle the need for actors to be comfortable being nude on stage.  When I started acting onstage over 50 years ago, I remember that directors would always put off blocking the kissing scenes until just before the show was ready to open; presumably to allow actors a chance to get to know each other before having to become intimate with each other.  The result was usually that the kissing scenes were usually the least convincing aspect of the production.  

When I started directing plays, I moved the first kiss rehearsal up to the callbacks, if it was part of the show.  After having a pair of actors (male and female) read a scene, I would then ask them to kiss each other.  You can tell a lot about an actor's comfort level on stage by the way they react to being given that directiom  If they balk at doing it at a callback, chances are they may balk in front of an audience.

SLINGS & ARROWS closed its third and final - I presume from the unfolding events - season rather sadly with many melancholic moments.  It was quite a change from the happy festive conclusions to the first two seasons, but quite in character for this seasons storylines.  The scenes involving KING LEAR were moving and weepy for me since my brothers, father and I have been living LEAR for the past 12 years, and it's my favorite Shakespeare play, perhaps the most moving document of the absurdities and futilities of human existence.

Tomorrow, I have a round with the IRS mess, then a final day of sound mixes.  I have to be up early and so I'm off to bed.

I was actually really happy with the outcome. After seeing last week's show I truly thought that max and laura were the only choice.  And i really thought they would both win, especially laura.  I thought they had the best chemistry and i thought the judges praises would bode well.

Although after reading all the austin stuff today i wasn't so sure max would win.

It was bizarre to me. They announced the sandy winner much earlier than danny (like at the half hour).  Maybe that contest was not as close. Maybe they thought more people would be interested in danny. Not sure.

Anyhow laura won over ashley.  And then right at the end a stunned max won over austin. I really think these two will make a sweet pair.

It was bizarre though to see the other cast members (who seem much older). I'd be curious to read the list (since they did not give anyone's names).

I have finished stripping the wallpaper in the bathroom..what a nightmare. I still have to scrub the walls, do a little patching and possibly some sanding before I paint, but having this step done is fabulous.  And I raked out all the flower beds. Lots of leaves and sticks. 2 Big garbage cans full for curbside pick-up.

I'm waiting for a call from the tv auction. I put in a last minute bid on the "Weather Person for a Day" but the anchor said that someone called asking about an age limit and asked them to stay on the line, so I don't know if they were there to out bid me at the last second or not. The winner gets trained at the station and actually does the noon weather forecast and gets a tape of it to keep. I think it sounds like a blast!

Ginny-Keith doesn’t sleep so I might as well.  We originally expected to be sleeping on the floor with him.  I’m happy to report Sherlock is still permitted to sleep on the bed with us.  We are leaving his collar with his tags on at night so we can hear if he moves, scratches or bites anything he shouldn’t.

He really is very mobile, making it more difficult to keep him from jumping.  He has loads of chew toys to help keep him distracted and almost constant attention from us, or mostly Keith.

Tomorrow I will try & post a photo with his new hair cut.

Back from what turned out to be a long, involved day.  I did lunch, and I did see Shooter, and I did get stuck in horrendous, stupid, vile traffic in Hollywood because, yes, they were doing one of their endless "premieres" at the Chinese and therefore closed off all the streets - no prob IF THEY'D ACTUALLY PUT UP SOME FRIGGIN' SIGNS TO ALERT PEOPLE SO THEY DON'T ALL DRIVE INTO HOLLYWOOD AND THEN INTO A BUNCH OF DEAD END BLOCKED OFF STREETS!  I was so angry that I screamed at a security person (from the security of my car, of course) and yelled at a parking cop who was ticketing parked cars.

I've slogged through eight pages of posts, and shall now actually try to write a couple of pages.

I thought the film was wonderful.  It was the best time I have had at a Bond film since the glory-days of GOLDFINGER AND THUNDERBALL.  Mr. Craig makes a thoroughly entertaining James Bond, and is certainly easier on the eyes than Roger Moore or Timothy Dalton.

As for GREASE, let me just say that AMerica has gotten the Danny it wanted, and more power to him and the show. I think it was the wrong choice, but I was obviously in the minority and so be it.

Laura will make a charming Sandy.

And I actually enjoyed the show. The numbers were fun, they built up tension reliably and I liked the idea of the Broadway billboards in Times Square announcing the winners. Interesting to see who had been picked for some of the other principals. So, I actually thought the often poorly and always haphazardly produced series ended on a high note.

ROME had a lovely, sentimental, and wonderfully entertaining series finale as Octavian was proclaimed First Citizen. Vorenus had a nice reunion with his daughter, and Pullo was reunited with his son. A beautifully produced series that I will greatly miss, even if it played fast and loose with some of the history of the time as we know it.

So, how did they fill up the whole hour on Grease? I didn't turn the tv on at all tonight.

They brought back all the Danny and Sandy candidates after GREASE Academy and did two numbers. The four finalists did two numbers concurrently with them switching partners during the middle of the number. Very effective.

They traced each of the four finalist's journeys from the audition round to the end.

They briefly interviewed relatives of each finalists who were in the studio.

Good Evening!

Just to get this out of the way now...

I just watched "Grease:YTOTIW" courtesy of the DVR.  I'm happy with the results, but I'm not happy with how they introduced their new cast mates.  They should have been introduced by their real names.  But since America did not pick them, I'm guessing the producers didn't think America would care to hear their real names.  But I have a feeling their friends and family would have liked to hear their names announced.  -I know I would have loved to hear Jenny Powers name - she'll be playing Rizzo.

As for Matthew Bourne's Edward Scissorhands...

I found it enchanting and entertaining.  It's been years since I've seen the movie, but the storytelling was so well done, I have a feeling even a "newbie" would be able to follow the plot very easily.

The choreography and dancing contained just the right amounts of beauty and athleticism.  And humor.  And the costumes and set pieces were also well done without pulling focus from the dancers.

I also liked how Danny Elfman's themes from the movie were incorporated into the score for the ballet by the composer - whose name is in the program I'm a bit too lazy to retrieve right now.  ;)

DR Cason - Again, you could still receive a call - either way.  Usually, if the people behind the table tell you at the audition that it's between you and someone else, and they will need an extra day to make their decision, that can be an indication that they will call either way.

Do you happen to know if the male ensemble slots were already cast?  Do they hire understudies?

-Oh, is this an Equity house?  Are you an AEA member?

In any case... One other factor in your favor in regards to getting a call is the weekend.  I've worked with many casting associates who don't like to make calls right before the weekend... I mean, who wants to work on a Friday?  ;)

LOL there was a time I thought I "would like totally die" in weather that cold having been raised in sunny LA. Then I went to NY where the wind chill was -4.

I am here to tell the tale!

-4 is nothing..... I Have survived -37 with a windchill of -81 and lived to tell about it...
