RE: the new FOX show tonight DRIVE.
I won't give spoilers. But like I said last week the 2 hour premiere was on in Canada on Friday. I wasn't really expecting to like this show. But i did. I can't really say if others here will love it. But it was quite good.
It follows a bunch of people on an illegal race around the country. The characters are quite good. And the people running the race are crazy. The part that i really liked is that things that don't seem to make sense are clarified later.
I'm looking forward to part two tomorrow.
Btw, i happened upon a site that has the reviews for new shows. Here are a few for DRIVE:

Nice new avatar for DR MS.
Glad to hear Merissa's show went so well. Of course PRE PLANNING and REHEARSAL count for much! Nothing JUST happens, except....well....you know.

DR VIXMOM the Scissor Sisters clip was from the Brits 2007 awards that I watched on BBC America....there are a few other clips and a video of them singing the song on YouTube and none of them are staged that way, so I don't think it's available on DVD. If you get BBC America just watch for a repeat of the BRITS 2007 awards....it's the opening number.

Working today.
It is very cold a windy.

DR Michael S, when did you change your avatar? Very nice...
Actually last night . My 1st one with me in a long time.

Great news BK about the show last night.
Feel better DR Jose. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning, all! A wet day in NYC, and I have to go out in it. Toyland calls loudly, and I must obey.
Yesterday I received a large quarterly check from ASCAP of several hundred dollars. I am puzzled since I usually get quarterly checks of around $25. I wonder if ASCAP will ask for it back? It's going to pay for a critical edition of either Gilbert & Sullivan or Verdi.
DR Jose, what happened to the keyboard player you're suddenly replacing? Is this all part of your diabolical plan to take over the world?
-
And the word of the day is: LISSOTRICHOUS!
HISTORIC SOULS such as Plato, Oscar Wilde or Alexander the Great were not LISSOTRICHOUS - their hair was as gay as the rest of them!
-
Opening Night vibes for DR JOSE!

Nice haircut DR MS.

We have much wetness outside today, here in Rehoboth Beach.

Good Morning, DR Elmore!
Good Morning, DR JRand!
Good Morning, DR Matt!

Good morning DR SWW - I hope you enjoy your day off!

I finished reading Julia Child's memoir, My Life in France, last night. She certainly captured the adventure of discovery and change that she went through, moving forward to becoming "Julia Child," along with some of the bittersweet effects of leaving other parts of her life behind.
While she doesn't exactly say so, it's clear that simple male chauvanism was behind Mastering the Art of French Cooking being rejected by so many publishing houses before it landed at Knopf. The men in charge kept insisting that housewives weren't interested in complicated recipes, that they only wanted mixes to simplify their lives, and that was all they should want. It was the women in publishing who championed the book. Thank heaven for women, in this case!
-
Day off?
That was yesterday - and I did enjoy it.
Today, I'll be back at the checkout counter.

Good morning, DR S. Woody!
Good morning, all!
Rained cats, dogs, and other pets last night, and today continues the rain and gray skies above. Ugh! A nice day to stay inside, do laundry and other chores, and watch some movies.
-
I went to bed last night going over in my mind which previously watched and unwatched movies I wanted to watch today.
For previously watched movie - CHARADE. I haven't seen it in awhile and it's time now. Watching the clips on the Stanley Donen interview also reminded me I wanted to watch it again.
For unwatched movie - MY DREAM IS YOURS, the next in the Doris Day box. I am always surprised this film is in TEchnicolor. The first time I ever saw it was on a black and white TV, so it's been burned into my brain that the movie was filmed in B&W. Nope. Looking forward to another early Doris Day film.
On the DVR, I have BREAKFAST ON PLUTO which I'd like to view and get erased from the DVR. If I don't watch it soon, the DVR will automatically erase it unless I tell it not to. It's been on the DVR for months.
-
DR SWW - good job with today's WOD.
And you're much safer behind the register today than cart-wrangling, that's for sure!

Wet here, certainly, but the 50mph winds have not arrived yet.

Speaking of Harry Potter, there was an article in today's newspaper about the upcoming publication of the last book in the series. Pretty amazing how the fever for the character and his world has grown over the years.
Wonder what the next book series will be that will capture the imagination of the world like this one has?
-
Yes, there's the DR Michael Shayne that we've seen before. Nice to have a "real picture" of you, DR Michael.
-
Tonight there are new episodes of the CBS line-up. As DR Jennifer has mentioned, there is the new series DRIVE on Fox (but I'm not going to be watching; reading about the characters in the paper just didn't make the series appeal to me).
Of course, HBO has new episodes of THE SOPRANOS and ENTOURAGE, and Showtime has a new episode of THE TUDORS. Looking forward to all of those shows.

Weather vibes to all those in the path of the big storm!

I must now get ready to check out of the motel and find the right freeway to take to get to the pancakes.

I finished up on the net a little earlier than usual this morning, so I think I'll head down and start CHARADE!

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up...
And my fever broke around 3:00am last night. Whew! I'm still feeling a bit "under", but I'm most definitely feeling better. Even my sinuses seemed to have cleared up.
Thank for all the VIBES! They certainly did their magic again!

Awaiting news from the tax offcie about whether I'm obliged to come in today. Would much rather work from home if possible, but with Tuesday being the deadline...
-
Glad to hear you're feeling better, Jose.

DR elmore - I'm not replacing anyone in the pit. Basically, everyone is rotating. Patrick V. has been conducting this past week, while his associate, Jim L., has been playing the synth part. Originally, once Patrick returned to A Chorus Line - today - Jim was going to conduct from the keyboard. But after realizing just how much conducting and playing involved, Patrick asked me if I would be interested in covering the keyboard book so that Jim could conduct "keyboard-free". So... The changing of the guard takes place this afternoon.
*And I think it's actually a good thing I'm a bit fatigued - I won't have the energy to get nervous. I just have to play.
-
And I shall post some pics from last night once I get back to NYC tonight - we only have the matinee today, so I should be back by 7:00 - and have the proper cables.
-
Well, I should get ready for check out.

DITCH ROSIE (http://news.aol.com/entertainment/tv/articles/_a/after-imus-delay-calls-for-rosie-to-be/20070413103809990001)
After Imus, DeLay Calls for Rosie to Be Fired
Wants Conservatives to Lead Anti-O'Donnell Push
AOL
(April 13) -- Fanning the flames of discontent sparked by the Imus controversy, former congressman Tom DeLay is making a plea for his fellow conservatives to get Rosie O'Donnell fired for recent remarks she made.
"I'm calling for conservatives to take on Rosie O'Donnell," DeLay said during an interview with CNN. "She criticized and ridiculed Chinese-Americans, she accused the president of being responsible for 9/11. Let's now start calling for her resignation."
He also recently penned an article on TownHall.com titled "If the Left Takes Imus, We’ll Take Rosie."
I think Rosie is as babbling nut-case; her 9/11 Conspiracy theories are fruit-cake ramblings; her prattling does a disservice to the country; I'd be pleased to see her off the air.
That said: she hasn't spouted anything that has not already been bantered on numerous web-sites; her most vocal detractors (read O'Reilly) offer a platform to equally fringe positions that also do a public disservice - particularly the xenophobic rantings on illegal immigration by him, Gibson and Malkin.
The true conservative has in his hands the means to silence Rosie - it's called a remote!

Good Heavens, if he right dumps Rosie, we might lose Ann!

Good Afternoon!
Greetings from the Green Room!
And, lo and behold, I've been granted a reprieve of sorts. Due to some machinations that neither of us are really privy to, Jim and I will get one more day to prepare for our new "roles". I will not be playing today's matinee.
*When the conductor called me, he had literally just gotten back to NYC this morning, and was about to turn around to head back up. I just hope the rain doesn't make hinder his travel back to Westport.

Hi all! I hope you came through the storm ok.
The tail was nothing. I've seen worse summer storm and this was all over in about a half an hour.
Now we're under a high wind warning. I confess you can feel the cold in that wind. Burrrrr.
-
Sunday greetings! It's cold and blustery here, but we're not getting the precipitation that's charging up the east coast.
This evening, DH Richard and I are taking my mother to see The Lion King at Cincinnati's Aronoff Center for the Arts. The ticket was her Christmas present and she's pretty excited. Not only has she never seen LK (I've seen it twice, DH once), this will also be her first trip to the Aronoff. She watches a lot of Cincinnati TV, so has heard a lot about it since moving here 8 years ago.
-
Thanks, but see the post following yours. ;)
Well then the vibes will also have a one day reprieve ;)

Much leg breakage to those who need it.

...And I'd be practicing right now, but the sound staff is still setting everything up.

How nice to see DRs Cillaliz and jhvw, who both look great! How was the birthday party?

Please tell jhvw I said "Hello!" and wish him the best.
Happy belated Birthday to your Mom as well!

And the rain here in Westport is truly yucky. And the winds have picked up too. In fact, I think Mother Nature will be providing a nice assist to rain sound effects during Part 2. I can hear the rain on the roof. (Ah, a Follies reference.)
-
DRs Cillaliz and jhvw - Good to see both of your smiling faces!
Thanks! Jon said he was going to log on last night, but I think he may have had some plans with my niece and her boyfriend. (He was staying at my brother's house, I was at my parents' house) He's heading back to Joplin either today or tomorrow. I got up early and came back to Sioux City. It was a nice weekend, but I'm so glad to be home

The birthday party was nice. It was a small group, about 17, of close friends and family. It was very low key, which is what she wanted. There was lots of wine, food and good conversation. A good time was had by all

The rains have soaked my shoes but Toyland is still there - for the nonce - and I have returned home and I have disc 2 of the first season of UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS to view today. I haven't seen the series since it's first airing and it has me hooked. again.

Happy Sunday to dear Esteemed, proofed, partied, and by now pancaked BK --
Congrats to you and Merissa for what sounded like a splendid evening last night. I missed where the actual performance was held.... the Gardenia? or someplace else?
I am envious of your "pancake group fete" this morning!
-
And a very happy Sunday to all of the lovely H/Ks and DRs here. It is a sunny day and mild here in Phoenix, but the wind is starting up and looks like it may increase some. It is Gay Pride weekend here in Phoenix, so there are a number of festivities around the middle of the city, and lots of good looking folk walking around.
Where has that naughty dear MBarnum been keeping himself the past few days? Come out, come out wherever you are dear MB.....
-
dear DR Jose, -- I'm glad that you are both feeling better and have a fairly easy day today. I'm betting that by tomorrow, you are back to all 16 cylinders, and the world won't be able to handle your energy, dazzle, and smile!

And now, off to munch a little brekkies myself.

Today marks the 95th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic at 2:20 a.m. It sounds stupid, I suppose; but ever since I visited the wreck site back in 1996, I have felt that I have finished the voyage that a psychic once told me I started back in 1912. It, also, cured my fear of being out on the water at night.

BK, I agree with you about the choeography in that MARY POPPINS video clip. It was most underwhelming. It certainly didn't make me want to run out and see the production.
-
BK, Julieanne and I used to go to that French film festival every year. Hope you're getting VIP treatment. The opening night reception was always a lot of fun...met a lot of celebs. Jack Valenti introduced me to Jacqueline Bisset once. When I was on the board of the WGA, we used to have a luncheon with a lot of the French folk...actors, writers, dignitaries that used to come to it. I'm assuming this is the City of Lights, City of Angels festival.

Starting to finalize (is that a contradiction?) theatergoing plans for my jaunt to Pittsburgh from Thurs. night through Sunday afternoon - going with Ronni to see Ahrens and Flaherty's The Glorious Ones on Friday night, then joining the delightful Ann (of All That Chat) to see a local production of Ntozake Shnage's 1970's hit For Colored Girls... on Sat. night. (There's a local production of Reefer Madness that's a possibility for the Sat. matinee, but I'm wondering if that's worth seeing onstage since there's a TV version so readily available.)

Funny how, out of the many clips I posted about the Poppins show, this is the only one that is commented about! How can one judges a show from one technically faulted clip from Le Poulailler of the theater while it is a different approach from the film sequence AND that the SUPERCALI.... number is quite smashing to me!
Bah umbugh! It's true that the whole production is from Uk! That might have something to do with it!
I guess the people who go and enjoy that show must be jerks and shallow folks!
Sometimes there are so many negative VIBES here that it makes me want to vomit unto the ground!
I once was told to "loosen up!" or something to that effect here! I'm tempted to say the same now!
And I thought I was one critical guy!
Oh well! Life goes on.... ;D

I'm busy reading the buzz about bees HERE (http://thecrossedpond.com/?p=341)and HERE (http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/wildlife/article2449968.ece)
One of the possible causes identified by environmentalists is, of course, global warming, because global warming causes everything from my aunt’s gout to the performance of the Kansas City Royals. Other hypothetical triggers might include sunspots; in continental Europe, they naturally perceive a link to genetic modification of crops, as this is their standby excuse for everything bad that can’t be rationally blamed on either global warming or George Bush.
The case against handsets
Evidence of dangers to people from mobile phones is increasing. But proof is still lacking, largely because many of the biggest perils, such as cancer, take decades to show up.
Most research on cancer has so far proved inconclusive. But an official Finnish study found that people who used the phones for more than 10 years were 40 per cent more likely to get a brain tumour on the same side as they held the handset.
Equally alarming, blue-chip Swedish research revealed that radiation from mobile phones killed off brain cells, suggesting that today's teenagers could go senile in the prime of their lives.
Studies in India and the US have raised the possibility that men who use mobile phones heavily have reduced sperm counts. And, more prosaically, doctors have identified the condition of "text thumb", a form of RSI from constant texting
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) occurs when a hive's inhabitants suddenly disappear, leaving only queens, eggs and a few immature workers...
Gee, sounds like a an Easter egg-dying party in West Hollywood!

whatever the picture is that you posted on Page 4, it is just a red X to me. Very strange!
Post #107 on page 4 modified & corrected. Sorry!

DR FJL, will be very curious to hear about your impressions of The Glorious Ones!

Funny how, out of the many clips I posted about the Poppins show, this is the only one that is commented about! How can one judges a show from one technically faulted clip from Le Poulailler of the theater while it is a different approach from the film sequence AND that the SUPERCALI.... number is quite smashing to me!
Bah umbugh! It's true that the whole production is from Uk! That might have something to do with it!
I guess the people who go and enjoy that show must be jerks and shallow folks!
Sometimes there are so many negative VIBES here that it makes me want to vomit unto the ground!
I once was told to "loosen up!" or something to that effect here! I'm tempted to say the same now!
And I thought I was one critical guy!
Oh well! Life goes on.... ;D
Gee, François, I am sorry if I offended you. I wasn't aware that you had done the choreography for this production. And, just so you don't misunderstand, I had no idea whether I was seeing the London produciton or the Broadway production. I just knew that I didn't care for it.
-
DR François: Personal taste is such that you will probably never get 100% agreement about anything here. That doesn't mean that we don't appreciate your bringing these things to our attention! :)

Yes, I choreographed that production and if I am upset it's because I'm still waiting for my cheque! The Broadway prod. is a transplant of the London one, so I assume (maybe wrongly!) that it is the same choreographer, even though, that number has been modified for Broadway!
If one looks carefully, there's a costume change for the main characters at the start of the number!
I am WEIRD because, when I see that number, I WANT to go and see the show! Colour me different!
Now, TOD:
What is the song you dislike most?
What is the dish that repells you most?

It's 66 degrees and sunny here today. Isn't that wonderful!
-
Has anyone ever raised vegetables in flower pots? I'm thinking about trying to do an indoor vegetable garden in what I may start calling my sun room. I"m thinking no weeding and no bugs....is that too good to be true?
-
François, I disliked the musical RENT on Broadway. I know a lot of people who thought it was fantastic. That doesn't make me right or them idiots. Or visa versa. It just means everyone has different tastes. Perhaps, we should all just lie, and say everything is wonderful, even if we don't believe it.

Congratulations to BK and Merissa on what sounded like a wonderful evening and performance!! ;D

Where has that naughty dear MBarnum been keeping himself the past few days? Come out, come out wherever you are dear MB.....

DR Francois, I saw MP in New York, and I think it's a disaster with good moments and a few good performances. While PL Travers may have been unhappy with the film, it's much better dramaturgically, musically and choreographically than the turkey Cameron Mackintosh produced.
And I'm not being NEGATIVE, I'm being critical.

The 80s medley KILLED. It consisted of Girls Just Want To Have Fun, I Want To Dance With Somebody, I'm So Excited, Lost In Your Eyes, Material Girl, Eternal Flame, and Flashdance (What A Feeling) - all put together very cleverly.
Now that sounds like fun!

I must scamper off to work... Have a lovely afternoon/evening everyone!

I am WEIRD because...
Yes, Matthew Bourne still gets the credit.
Since I really enjoy the London Cast Album, and have never been disappointed by a Bourne endeavor, I am looking forward to seeing the show. As you admit, the YouTube clips are not the finest representation - the official Mary Poppins on Broadway (http://disney.go.com/theatre/marypoppins/index.html) has much better video material.

Back from a drive - terrible allergies today. I had a last-minute invite to see Twelve Angry Men this evening at the Ahmanson with Mr. Kevin Spirtas, so I'll be meeting him for some dinner at six and then the show.

Pogue - yes, it's the same fest. I missed the opening night - complete sell out, although they're repeating the film (Piaf).
-
Will we never get to page six?
I'm certain we will.
-
You both look great! That's a lovely picture. ;D
I agree completely. Both DRs look super in that picture.

I began my afternoon of viewing with CHARADE. It's just as wonderful as it always was, and though that DVD on the reverse side of THE TROUBLE WITH CHARLIE looked a bit grainy this time around, it's still got good color and solid mono sound (but how glorious would that film be now if there could have been that superb Mancini score in stereo surround!)

Thanks! I appreciate your not being "partial"!
I wish they'd put the Broadway version on cd because that Broadway Mary sounds so good while I think Miss Kelly is the part too!
-
And one for Mary!
-
Next came MY DREAM IS YOURS. I think the transfer is slightly better than the one for ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS. Color seems just a tad more saturated, but the film is as sharp as the previous one. There seem to be fewer speckles and bits of dirt on this one.
-
I finish up the afternoon, I put in MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS which I haven't watched in a long while. So glorious looking on this Ultra-Resolution transfer, and the repurposed 5.0 sound is also nice to have.

YES! You're right! I had forgotten about it!
Love that Supercali... number! If THAT does not get people in, wonder what would!
Now, I am not saying DR elmore's wrong about his view of the show... I haven't seen it but the clips are very enticing I think!
-
I really must get up and do something, but I really don't feel like it. It's so nice just to sit here. But it's such a nice day, I must do something...

This has been the weirdest weather day. The sun has continuously come out and gone back into hiding, and when the sun goes away, the rain comes out to play. We've had two or three different showers during the morning and afternoon and all of them have been interrupted by burst as really strong sunlight. Right now, it's raining yet again!
-
I like it, especially the chin in the upper left hand corner ;)
I might be able to fix that...I actually covered up your hand on his shoulder. Didn't notice that, did you? ;)
-
Well, I just took a shower and I'm not leaving home yet, but I'm recording an Internet radio show and I don't want to upset the streaming audio, so I'm leaving HHW for the time being. Be back later!

Same peek-a-boo game going on here, too. So far, not much of a storm!
And thanx to you, sir, I'm a tad poorer! BestBuy had a reconditioned up-convert DVR on sale for $79 (but missing the remote) - you didn't warn me that the dang HDMI cable cost a months wages! I was hoping to consult with you before making a puchase (they run abou $300 at Sam's), but the Best Buy deal looked pretty darn good. The unit does not record, and has no VHS, but all I really care about is enhancing our viewing pleasure with our DVDs. I think I got it hooked up and working - sure looks and sounds great.

You bought one of those expensive HDMI cables from Best Buy! Argh!!!!!
High quality HDMI cables can be found for Buy-It-Now prices under $10 at Ebay. I've gotten all of my HDMI cables there (except for my Sony upconverting player which came with an HDMI cable in the box as I recall).

Guess I'll head back down now. I have to clean my bathroom, put away the laundry that I've already folded, and then settle in for more of Miss Garland and then prime time TV.

Btw, the music for FEELINGS was stolen from composer Louis Gasté, husband of Line Renaud who lead so many Las Vegas reviews in the sixties (She's the one who sang "Relax, Relaxez-Vous! with Dean Martin... Line's our Patti Page!)

How are things in New York? Lots and lots of rain, sounds very wet
-
Good Evening!
Well, here's the short version of the story:
-What's happening with the trains and vans?
"Get on the van now, it will take you to the train station! The highways are closed!"
Run, run, run...
-Hold ON! LET MET ON THE VAN!!!
"Get in quick, we can just make the train!"
After passing a couple of cars, and cutting through a few parking lots - Thank You, James (our driver, our cute driver!) - we made it to the station with a minute to spare!
"Trains will be going express to Grand Central after Stamford"
"Trains will now be stopping at Mount Vernon East due to track being washed out. Transfer to a local train, and take that to Woodlawn, and transfer to the subway to get into Manhattan."
So, that's what I had to do. That's what all of us on train had to do. -Although, we were given the option of riding the train back up to Westport.... Nope!
The train left Westport at 5:31. Normally, it would have pulled into Grand Central about an hour later. Tonight, I stepped into my apartment at 8:55. Whew!!!!!!!
-
How are things in New York? Lots and lots of rain, sounds very wet
<nod>
-
And at least I made it home. There were about 20-25 cast and crew members who tried to get onto the 6:31 train from Westport. The last time we checked, they were stalled at the next train station, awaiting word if they could continue on - or have to turn around.
-
DR Jose. tell Patrick hello!
Always.
-
The birthday girl
:)
-
dear DR Jose, -- I'm glad that you are both feeling better and have a fairly easy day today. I'm betting that by tomorrow, you are back to all 16 cylinders, and the world won't be able to handle your energy, dazzle, and smile!
Thank you, DR MusicGuy.
And I actually am feeling much, much better right now. -Even after walking a couple of blocks in the rain. I still have some chest congestion to deal with, but otherwise, I really do feel on the mend.
-
DR JoseSPiano, if Patrick is detained and doesn't make it back in time, is it possible that Jim would conduct and you would play this afternoon?
Well, that almost happened. Patrick was still not in at half hour. And still not at fifteen. Then at eight...
Jim and I were in standby mode just in case.
However, the worst part of the whole situation today was that Patrick had driven back to Westport. -In fact, he had basically just woken up when he got the call to come back in. And since parts of 95 and the Hudson Parkway were/are closed, he might be stranded up in Westport tonight. (Along with some of the other company members.) I really do hope he makes it back tonight. So much for a day off.
-
For those who are interested, here's Merissa's set list:
Astonishing
A Summer In Ohio
Lion Tamer
You Can Always Count On Me
Is It Really Me?
Girls Just Want To Have Fun (The 80s Medley)
It's A Fine, Fine Line
If I Were A Bell
Wherever He Ain't/Time Heals Everything
Happily Ever After
For Good
Gimme Gimme
How Did We Come To This? (Encore)
That is a good set list. Actually, it's also a really good audition book. -Which I'm guessing is what she drew most of her material from for this review. I'd say all that is missing is a classic Gershwin, Porter, Rodgers & Hart, etc., ballad.

Brothers & Sisters airs here at 7pm (this has nothing to do with the show). And at the commercials they sometimes have this part where they dish about the actors.
Tonight they said something slightly disturbing. It went something like this, "rumor has it sally field is dating one of her co-stars (david something)". Then they flashed a picture of the actor who plays her youngest child (justin).
OMG! Is this true. I guess she is 60+ and he plays younger than he is (i think there is a 30+ yr difference). The part that sort of freaked me out is that he plays her son. Does anybody else find that weird?

I'm not one to spread gossip, but

Sally Field and David Annable Dating?
Maybe he likes her, he really likes her.
Sally Field portrays a mother of five on the ABC drama 'Brothers & Sisters' and may be robbing her own cradle.
Field, 60, is said to be dating her 27-year-old on-screen son David Annable, according to a source on set.
The twice-divorced mother of three grown sons has reportedly been canoodling with Annable during filming breaks and already shares a plethora of inside jokes with him.
"Just because Sally is mature doesn't mean she still isn't sexy. Her youthful exuberance makes her seem like she's 30 years younger. She's still a very attractive woman," the source says.
Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.
I'm sure Woody Allen is appalled!

I went to my first rodeo today.
Next year if I go again I can say that line Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford says in "Mommie Dearest" addressing the men in the Pepsi boardroom: "Don't *** with me fellas. This ain't my first time at the rodeo."

Will we never get to page nine? You'd think it was a Sunday or something.

Back from a drive - terrible allergies today. I had a last-minute invite to see Twelve Angry Men this evening at the Ahmanson with Mr. Kevin Spirtas, so I'll be meeting him for some dinner at six and then the show.
I've been pushing to get Mr. Spirtas for the cabaret series I subscribe to at the Crest Theater in Delray Beach. I am friendly with the producer. He has heard about him and I gave him a copy of the cd and DVD in hoping that he will hire him for a future season.

My weekends are my time off from work but I keep myself busy. Next weekend I am going to Key West for the first time, if I can book a hotel room.

Not weird to me at all. And it's not the first time it's happened. Greer Garson ended up marrying the guy who played her son (Richard Ney) in MRS. MINIVER after the picture was finished shooting.
And of course, Laurence Olivier married Joan Plowright who played his daughter in THE ENTERTAINER. Of course, that was a much older man with a young woman, but I guess few would find that odd.
-
This is horrifying news to me...an actor who played the father in CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.

I began my evening finishing the last 2/3 of MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS. Brilliant film that grows richer and more touching every time I watch it. The exquisitie lighting in this film is among the best ever done. And the transfer does look stunningly good.

The Food Network had its awards tonight. They really shopuld have given it to HHW for "Best Dish."

Kevin Spirtas in TWELVE ANGRY MEN...hmmmm...
Is his last name pronounced as in Spur...or as in Spear?

DR FJL - thanks for reminding me of the ancestors of my comment.
I am also reminded of Dick Cavett's introduction for Miss Jayne Mansfield written for Johnny Carson:
"And here they are, Jayne Mansfield."

RE: Mary Poppins - I saw the Broadway production a couple of weeks ago, and liked it. I didn't love it, but I liked it. The "Jolly Holiday" number is better scene from "the front", rather than from someone illegal bootleg copy from a cheap(er) balcony seat. I think the only real quibble I had was with the "Feed the Birds" sequence - I was hoping for a more imaginative treatment. -Oh, and then there was the "Temper, Temper". But again, I liked the production a lot.
And that "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" number truly is amazing. *A friend of mine is a "swing" in the show, and I truly don't her - she had to learn eight different tracks for that number alone. That's a LOT of hand movements!
-
I had planned on watching maybe another episode of THE WILD WILD WEST, but I noticed there was another John Fricke commentary for ST. LOUIS that I know I've listened to but couldn't remember much about, so I started that and began rewatching the film while listening to the commentary. I got about halfway through the movie again.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES started off a little slowly for me, but by the end, it had become a very entertaining episode with love relationships ever in flux. Tom was really, really getting on my last nerve this week.
Nice to see the ever-handsome Jason Gedrick join the cast, I hope for a long time.

Jrand - better than Lawrence Welk introducing a Lennon sister with "An' a one, an' a two."
Or was it a King sister? I get them moixed up alla time.

I ordered the two Scissor Sisters CD's and added ON MOONLIGHT BAY and BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON dvd's! I really enjoy those two movies. What casts!
Doris and Gordon, Rosemary DeCamp and Leon Ames, Billy Gray and Mary Wickes.
Leon Ames: (as the third person to open the oven): What time do you think the turkey will be done, Stella?
Mary Wickes: (as the housekeeper) I don't know, I've never cooked one with the over door open before.

Loved game night on BROTHERS & SISTERS. I did know the answer to the last trivia question and was just gritting my teeth. Of course, I taught ROMEO & JULIET every year but one during my 30-year teaching career, so it would have been a bit odd for me not to have known it.
Poor Kevin's blind date; what an unqualified disaster. Of course, I'm sure this isn't the last we've seen of the senator's brother.
-
RE: Scissor Sisters - Very fun! And Very Gay! But still very fun!

I'm watching the Doris films in the box in the order they were made. ON MOONLIGHT BAY comes next in the box, and I'm hoping the Technicolor will look as good as it did in MY DREAM IS YOURS.

The Lennon Sisters certainly made a little talent go a LONG way!
And I will never forget their reaction to Paul Lynde on the Hollywood Squares.... Lynde in the center and two Lennons on either side.
Peter Marshall: Paul, what is the proper way for a girl to cross her legs, at the ankle or at the knee?
Paul Lynde: Neither, if she wants to get anywhere in show business.
And all Four Lennon Sisters were still laughing after the commercial break. ;D

My fingers are crossed. BAY and MOON were the first two films I remember seeing Doris in on late night television...and I loved her...and of course I had read the stories they were based on....
"I suppose you're wondering who I am. Well, don't be so nosy."
-
So I'll have five hours of shows recorded tonight to watch tomorrow and the next day. I hope to be able to fit another Doris musical somewhere in the midst of some of those.

I've got on audio tape, Doris Day's radio show which she had after ON MOONLIGHT BAY was released. Jack Smith was one of the guest stars on the show. Of course, when it came time to sing songs from the movie, they just played the recordings Doris had made and released with him.

I am home. That is all.
And now you can do a survey of all homes built before the war and see how many have three conductor electrical systems. My Long Beach CA house had the original knob and tube wiring - no three-prong receptacles there! Many older building have unauthorized upgrades that install three-prong receptacles (to accommodate modern plugs), but only hook up the two power slots and leave the ground slot open!
(To get my computer equipment properly connected, I had to run a ground wire from a stake beside the water meter beneath the dining room window and under a ledge separating the room from the kitchen up to the wall outlet where it connected to the power line that fed the electronics.) Not even the garbage disposal had a ground!
When my roof leaked after the earthquake, water ran down the insulation coving the wires in the attic and filled up a bedoom lighting switch - noted when the lights stayed on even when the switch was off!

BestBuy had a reconditioned up-convert DVR on sale for $79 (but missing the remote)
Beware if they tell you they'll send the remote right out as they did us. It took us almost a year of calling them before we actually got ours for our DVD/VHS deck. It was basically useless to us until we got he remote but they wouldn't extend our service agreement.
When I asked them about it they said they would extend the agreement if I brought it in to show them that it hadn't been used. So I unhooked it and brought it in---a real pain---and they told me that they never would have extended the servce plan and whoever told me that was wrong. They were so rude I was ready to throw it at them!

OMG! Is this true. I guess she is 60+ and he plays younger than he is (i think there is a 30+ yr difference). The part that sort of freaked me out is that he plays her son. Does anybody else find that weird?
