Do you like Vegemite, Tomovoz? How do you think it compares to Marmite? (I can't tell the difference.)

To me, it's one of those foods that seems repulsive at first but then you find yourself craving it---like that carbonated yoghurt drink that they serve in some Turkish restaurants. (The Turkish equivalent of an egg cream?)

TOD: I don't follow any series, but I've liked what I've seen of 6 Feet Under.

Since I am required to watch THE CLOSER, I must say I really enjoy it!

DR Bretty, I didn't mean to insult to with my suggestion to "stick with it". It's just that I have recommended it to several people who were so turned off by the pilot (as was I) that they refused to watch any more episodes, which is a shame because they both really would have liked it.

But I didn't realize you were such an avid TV viewer!

I still have SUPERNATURAL from Thursday's list of TV shows. There is nothing on TV tonight, so depending on what comes in the mail today, I may be watching MEMENTO on Blu-ray this evening.

This afternoon, I'll probably continue with the remaining episodes on the GREY'S ANATOMY disc I was watching. They're so addictive.
Title: Re:HIT THE ROAD, JACK
Post by: Matt H. on April 21, 2007, 07:05:21 AM
As for cable shows I would have included:

I loved Lisa Kudrow's THE COMEBACK once it got up to speed. Alas, it only ran one season.

I am loving THE TUDORS, but it's only run for three episodes so far and thus can't be counted a favorite yet. Since it has already been renewed for a second season, I'll be eager to see how much they spread out the history or will they do what ROME did and condence years of history into a single episode. That's why ROME isn't in my list.
Title: Re:HIT THE ROAD, JACK
Post by: Matt H. on April 21, 2007, 07:09:34 AM
I probably should have listed THE DAILY SHOW, THE COLBERT REPORT, and SOUTH PARK on Comedy Central because I always enjoy them when I tune it, but I just haven't developed the habit of watching every time they're broadcast, so I guess I can't count them as favorites.

And if you want to include "How-To's" and "Reality"...

"Good Eats"
"While You Were Out"
"Queer Eye" - At least the first two seasons
"What Not To Wear" (both the original BBC and TLC versions)
"Food 911"
"Cookin' in Brooklyn"  (which I don't think is on any longer)
"Top Design"
"Project Runway"

And as for "The Not Just the Best of the Larry Sanders Show" boxed set... It's been interesting reading all the reasons and speculation concerning the release of a boxed set, and the re-release of season one.  Names have been named.

However, I do have think the music clearances are a major part of the hold up in getting the show onto DVD.  Lots of record labels to deal with.

DR Laura, I saw the "Bodies" exhibit here in New York. It's been held over for a long, long time. I found it rather gruesome and unseemly. A friend was fascinated and loved it. It was also rather expensive (IMHO). Controversy surrounds it as well. All (and I mean every single physical specimen) of the bodies are Asian. There is some speculation as to how the bodies got to the people putting the exhibition together. There are many exclamations in the Comments Book along the line of "Stop stealing dead Asian bodies!

My favourite original cable show is probably the one you've been watching:  The Larry Sanders Show.  Everything you said about it is right on.  I also like Gary Shandling's first cable show as well, but Larry Sanders is almost brilliantly transcendant!

I love South Park.  Still the most incisive, sharp, outrageous satire on TV.  Favourite episode would probably have to be the Jennifer Lopez one where Cartman does a Senor Wences act with his hand as puppet Jennifer Lopez.  It terrifically, courageous absurdist...first, that Cartman, a fourth grader, is doing a Senor Wences bit and secondly that the creators are doing the bit to a general audience, who like Cartman, probably would have no idea who Senor Wences is.  Just wonderfully loopy.

I loved ROME.  

DEADWOOD started out well, but I thought last season was the longest shaggy dog story that went absolutely no where and ended disappointedly, not taking us where it felt like it was leading up to.

...And I also didn't realize that the "Planet Earth" series was originally narrated by David Attenborough during it's BBC broadcast.  Not Sigourney Weaver as it is here stateside.

-Although, I think it would be fun to have a second audio track so that you could compare both narrators side by side.  ;)

The same thing happened with the series, "Walking with Dinosaurs (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0214382/)."  When it was on US TV, it was narrated by Avery Brooks, but the original narrator was Kenneth Branagh.

A guest columnist at AndrewSullivan (http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/04/hoist_by_our_ow.html) commenting on the Duke Lacrosse players:

Quote
The real issue, I think, is not the publicity, or that we care about white people more, but that it has become very, very clear that having a good lawyer really, really matters. In this case, the victim was sufficiently unhinged, and the DNA sufficiently strong, that it probably would have been dismissed anyway; but there remains the awful, and not altogether unlikely, possibility that had they been poor (white or black) these boys would have gone to jail for a crime that pretty clearly didn't happen. Inexperienced and overworked public defenders are no substitute for a good trial attorney. Attorney incompetence seems to be the main culprit in almost all cases where someone actually innocent goes to jail. This is intolerable. But no one wants to put real money into the public defender system.

Most everyone is now heading back to their homes throughout Ohio, but I decided to stay tonight, relax a bit, and drive home tomorrow.  The AAUW Great Lakes Regional Director, who's from Wisconsin and was our headliner this morning, is also staying until tomorrow.  Later she and I are going to dinner at Pioneer Mill of Tiffin.

I finished the GREY'S ANATOMY episode I had begun last night with everyone basically finding out that Meredith and Dr. McDreamy were sleeping together.

I got a Johnny Mandel songbook - very interesting, as there are two songs with lyrics by the Bergmans that I'd never heard of.  I recognized both tunes immediately - the first is the love theme (if there's a love theme) from Point Blank, and the second, more interstingly, is Mandel's beautiful theme from his tossed out score to Author Author.  Unfortunately, both lyrics are not so good, which happens a lot with the Bergmans when setting some of my favorite previously unset tunes.  Their lyric to Soldier In The Rain, one of Henry Mancini's most beautiful tunes is really not good, and their recent lyric to Deborah's Theme from Once Upon A Time In America, at least as interpreted by Miss Celine Dion, almost ruined the tune for me.

Zach has an unexpected brother for the week.  My boss is traveling, and her dog sitting plans fell through, so we are hosting 7-mo old chocolate lab Cody.

A neighborhood child just informed me that there is [or was] a Nickelodeon children's program called "Zach & Cody."  I'm just so hip, I can't even stand it.    :-\
The show is on the Disney Channel - it is titled The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, about identical twins living in a San Francisco hotel where their single mom works.

She's a singer.  I didn't mean for that to sound like a prompt for TCB.  Sheesh.



Oh.  Der B already covered this.  Never mind.

I survived work today.  It was a bit insane there, since the good weather we've had over the last couple of days has brought an influx of summer people into town, and they are all restocking their pantries.

Upon returning home, there was a letter waiting for me from the prothonotary of Sussex County.  Yep, they've sent me a jury duty notice.

Back when we were living in California, I never felt any need to get out of jury duty.  I rather enjoyed the experience.  But this is no longer the case.  They're proposing to yank me out from work, from a part time paycheck that I need, right when it switches to premium summer pay, and keep me from earning my paycheck for two full weeks.

On top of which, Georgetown is a distance away from where we live, which means that der B will have to spend major time and gas money acting as my transportation man.  Either that, or I'll be using public transportation... which doesn't exist in Delaware.

No, I'm going to have to tell them to shove it this time.

Over hill, over dale, we have hit the dusty trail,
and those caissons go rolling along.
"Counter march! Right about!"
hear those wagon soldiers shout,
while those caissons go rolling along.
For it's "Hi! Hi! Hee!" in the Field Artillery,
Call off your numbers loud and strong.
And where e'er we go you will always know
that those caissons go rolling along.

To the front, day and night where the doughboys dig and fight
and those caissons go rolling along.
Our barrage will be fired on the rockets flare
while those caissons go rolling along.
For it's "Hi! Hi! Hee!" in the Field Artillery,
Call off your numbers loud and strong.
And where e'er we go you will always
know that those caissons go rolling along.

With the cav'lry, boot to boot we will join in the pursuit
and those caissons go rolling along.
Action front, at a trot, volley fire with shell and shot
while those caissons go rolling along.
For it's "Hi! Hi! Hee!" in the Field Artillery,
Call off your numbers loud and strong.
And where e'er we go you will always know
that those caissons go rolling along.

Should the foe penetrate, ev'ry gunner lies in wait
and those caissons go rolling along.
Fire at will, lay 'em low, never stop for any foe
while those caissons go rolling along.
For it's "Hi! Hi! Hee!" in the Field Artillery,
Call off your numbers loud and strong.
And where e'er we go you will always know
that those caissons go rolling along.

But if fate me should call, and in action I should fall
keep those caissons go rolling along.
Then in peace I'll abide when I take my final ride
on a caisson that's rolling along.
For it's "Hi! Hi! Hee!" in the Field Artillery
Call off your numbers loud and strong.
And where e'er we go you will always know
that those caissons go rolling along.

The song was originally written by field artillery
First Lieutenant [later Brigadier General] Edmund L. Gruber,
while stationed in the
Phillipines in 1908. The song was transformed into a march
by John Philips Sousa in 1917
and renamed
The Field Artillery Song.

Well, DR Casson left so let's talk about Cassel Jean-Pierre:


The actor Jean-Pierre Cassel was born as Jean-Pierre Crochon in Paris. Before he came to the film he was active as a nightclub dancer, an ability he put into action time and again in his early film roles.

He made his film debut in 1953 with "Saluti e baci". When he was spotted by Gene Kelly for the movie "The Happy Road - Strasse des Glücks" this marked the beginning of a great career which found its height in the 70's.

Jean-Pierre Cassel took acting lessons after his film debut and acted at the Theatre National Populaire. In the next years he took part in other movies in which he normally impersonated smaller roles, so in "A pied, à cheval et en voiture" (57), "En cas de malheur" (58), "Les surmenés" (58) and "La nuit de Tom Brown" (59).

His parts became gradually bigger from the 60's till he grew up to a leading actor.
To his well-known movies of the 60's belong "Les jeux de l'amour - Liebesspiele" (60), "L'amant de cinq jours - Liebhaber für fünf Tage" (61), "Arsène Lupin contre Arsène Lupin" (62), "Cyrano et d'Artagnan" (63), "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines - Die tollkühnen Männer in ihren fliegenden Kisten" (65), "Un monsieur de compagnie - Ich war eine männliche Sexbombe" (65), "Paris brûle-t-il?" (66) and "Oh! What a Lovely War" (69).

His film career became more international from the 70's, besides productions in France and Italy he also appeared in movies in the USA.
Jean-Pierre Cassel rallied a crowd of fans round him with movies like "Malpertuis" (71), "Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie" (72), "The Three Musketeers" (73), "Murder on the Orient Express" (74), "Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? - Die Schlemmerorgie" (78) and "Grandison" (79).

In the next decades he acted in countless cinema and TV productions where he impersonated bigger and smaller roles.
He took aprt in popular movies like "La vie continue" (81), "La truite" (82), "Alicja" (82), "Liberty" (86), "Casanova" (87), "A Matter of Convenience" (87), "Il giovane Toscnini" (88), "The Phantom of the Opera" (89), "Mister Frost" (89), "Vincent & Theo" (90), "The Favour, the Watch and the Very Big Fish" (91), "L'enfer - Die Hölle" (94), "Casque bleu" (94), "Les montagnes bleues" (98), "Les rivières pourpres - Die purpurnen Flüsse" (00) and "Michel Vaillant" (03).

Jean-Pierre Cassel was nominated for a César in 1996.

Marjorie Belcher was Marge Champion who was the live model for Snow White.

Well,  Marge Champion was born Marjorie Belcher. She was not married to Mr Champion then. She also modeled for Fantasia and Pinocchio and she had a fling with Disney animator Art Babbitt who was one of the main instigators of the 1941 strike at the Studios....

Next I watched a DVD that came in today: STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME. The movie has always been entertaining but up until a few days ago, I didn't realize I had never gotten a DVD of it. I only had it on laserdisc. Deep Discount was having a sale on Paramount films, so I got this one was something like 5.88 or something (a two disc set).

I was VERY disappointed in the transfer of this film especially since this was supposed to be a remastered version of the original issue. It was anamorphic, so I guess I should be grateful for that. Much of it was soft, hazy, and drab, however. Except for a few outside shots, it looked to me much worse than the other TREK movies in the series. The Dolby Digital 5.1 sound was OK but nothing earthshaking.

I know she wasn't. I was trying to add just a bit of information for those folks here who might not know her as Marge Belcher but rather the person they would know as Marge Champion.
Title: Re:HIT THE ROAD, JACK
Post by: François on April 21, 2007, 08:14:37 PM


Actually, she had MORE than a fling with Mr Babbitt! She was married to him!

"Babbitt married Marjorie Celeste Belcher, the later Marge Champion, on August 8, 1937; she was just under 18, and he was 29. They divorced a year or two later. At the time of his marriage, Babbitt was in the midst of animating the Queen 's early scenes in Snow White. The sweatbox notes suggest that his work on those scenes began in early July 1937 and ended in late October; so if Walt Disney was about to fire Babbitt, he would have done so at the cost of disrupting production of his feature. Moreover, there is good reason to believe that Babbitt and Marjorie Belcher married not because they were having an affair, but because they were not having one. This is what Marge Champion told me when I interviewed her in 1993:

Champion: I loved Art very much; he was a terrific guy. We were just totally unsuited to each other.

Barrier: Everybody who has mentioned your marriage has said this, and I've never understood quite what happened between you.

Champion: I never have either, except that for a very brief period, he just swept me off my feet. You know, in those days, nice girls didn't, so that was one way of getting into life."

I finished my evening with EXECUTIVE DECISION, one of my all-time favorite action adventure films made in the last 15 years.

I hadn't watched this DVD since I got my new HDTV several years ago, and as this was one of the earliest DVD releases, you could tell that it was a dated transfer. It still looked OK, and Warners was forward thinking enough then to do an anamorphic transfer, so that was nice. The DOlby Digital 5.1 track is killer, as good as anything released today.

But the movie could really do with a video upgrade. There was lots of edge enhancement, colors were a little smeared in places, and the second unit special effects work was much grainier than the rest of the film.

Perhaps DR Jane would prefer the fully clothed version of Upen Patel. He does wear clothes, sometimes.

I'd correct the post DR George but then I would not be adding to the numbers.

That's A Quantity Street reference for DR François

Yes, we like quantity here! More, more, more?

I think Wise Guys (whatever) is the only Sondheim show I've not seen produced.

Gee! That's the ONLY one I have seen! NOT! :-\

It's last incarnation was "Bounce".

There are several that I've never seen live.  I do have recordings for all of his shows.

At least "you're" was correct DerBrucer.  It so often is not on the NET.


"As you"?

We saw Bounce at the Kennedy Center in DC (right before it was recorded). If nothing else, the show provided lots of fuel for discussion. Everybody agrees it needed "fixing" - few could agree on how to go about it!. It had the elements of two or three different shows, each struggling to get out.

It is the "as" rather than the "like". The placement of "such" does alter the meaning slightly though.


Very suspect are wise souls. I love the English language.

I meant "A Little House For Mama".

I think "Wise Guys" was funnier. The recording seemed to have more humour.
