bk: it's too bad you didn't stay around for more than 30 minutes of COMPANY - both the stage and TV direction go further downhill! We did finally get a fairly wide "establishing shot" - during a solo that called for a close up. And I'm sure you would have enjoyed Mr. Price's ear fetish - singers often shot in profile with the ear prominently displayed center screen.

Sadly, I will be at rehearsal today from about 3:30 until 6:30 pm.  I'm sure I'll get home by 6:45.  However, if the cast goes out to a restaurant next to the theater where we rehearse, I may go with them.  They did last night, but I went to my sister's house for a while.  We'll see if it actually happens.  Otherwise, I WILL be here as soon as possible after I get home. :)

"Company" is being recorded as I type.  I watched a bit of it.  I've never heard Bobby sung better (in performance) than by Dean Jones.  Esparza's voice seems forced/pushed.  He's a pleasant enough fellow, but what I saw of his Bobby wasn't very energetic.  Having never seen the show, perhaps that's the character?  An observer who sits around bemused by all and sundry?

Good morning, all! I have a long and convoluted day.  I could use travel vibes for goddaughter Charlotte's safe and speedy flight to New York as well as vibes that this Fed Ex shipment of 43 cartons happens smoothly tomorrow.  It's clearly rattling me as half of my sleep last night was about it.  

The other half of my dreams was something bizarre about me, my mother and my father traveling to Europe to repair some construction damage caused by my brothers.  Luxembourg, I believe.  I recall something about a damaged weather vane, houses haf-buried in dirt, and my mother's getting locked inside a library.  And there were soldiers and bombings in it, too.  And my dad being really ill.  And a concert.  And a parade.  God knows what past life experiences I was channeling.

Last night I watched one of my Netflix films, AMONGST FRIENDS, a 1993 Long Island gangster wannabe film by the guy behind the series ENTOURAGE.  I liked it very much.

I like the idea of doing the spoilers in yellow. It is totally unreadable. So if i remember i think i will try this.


 But of course we have to put the spoiler not in yellow with the name of the show! :)

Oscar nights gone by . . . .

I can remember how excited I used to get on Oscar day. It used to be on Monday, and it was all I could do to concentrate at school in order to do the work because my mind was on who was going to carry home the prize.

The first Oscar broadcast I can ever remember watching all the way through was the night WEST SIDE STORY won so many awards. I wasn't really expecting a musical to win so big, and I just sat there with my jaw hitting the floor.

Of course, it was midnight or later when I'd go to bed with school the next day, so that was ALWAYS a problem. But, I did it from that year onward. The only year I didn't watch the Oscars "live" was the 1988 awards (presented in 1989) where my jaw again hit the floor when Kevin Kline won supporting actor and Geena Davis won supporting actress early on.

My partner and I were attending the national tour of 42nd STREET and got home an hour after the awards had started. I did videotape them so during the commercials, I'd speed through to the winner announcements.

Wow----I was just watching Meet The Press and Ralph Nader announced that he was going to run for president!

This should be very interesting!

Well, that's good news for a partisan Republican, but bad news for our political system. Nadar can only pull votes from the Democrat; the Democrat will be inclined to lean more to left, removing pressure from the Republican to lean to the middle. Most data suggest that the electorate is fairly evenly split, so a third entrant pulling a mere 0.5 % could be decisive.

Nadar pulled 2.7 percent of the national vote as the Green Party candidate in 2000, his percentage dropped to just 0.3 percent as an independent in 2004, when he appeared on the ballot in only 34 states.

And, as we found out in both 2000 and 2004, very few votes in one or two states can swing the election.

Sadly, Nadar offers no fresh insights or innovative proposals; he has no credential for leadership - his presence will only serve to act as a spoiler.

Last night I tried some more animal introductions.

I put Bonnie on a leash and took her to the basement. JJ came to greet me, but on seeing Bonnie, she retreated to her chair - but did not flee in panic. I let Bonnie up to the entrance to the pen and JJ gave a little hiss, but stayed in place. I grabbed a can of food, went into the pen and shut the door, leaving Bonnie on the outside. Bonnie stuck her nose through the wire mesh and starting whining to be let in. JJ sat in my lap and purred. I filled the bowl with food. Bonnie left to explore, and JJ got down to eat, but Bonnie returned, and JJ  noticed that the bowl was just a few inches from Bonnie's nose, so he retreated back to my lap.

Hardly a budding friendship - but no barking or growling on the canine side, and no back arching and hiss-spitting on the feline side.

I love trying to see as many of the nominated movies as I can before the show. It's really just a game that I started years ago when we used to be bored living at the lake in the winter and it was an excuse to take road trips to see movies. But, it was so much more fun to watch the awards when I had seen the movies that I started doing it every year. I put it off this year until the last minute so I've been watching a lot in a short time to catch up on them.

I apologize der Brucer that my camera skills are lacking.  I thought I had apologized sufficiently when I first posted it.  Perhaps you would prefer this edited photo which removes the angle of the steep hillside on which the houses are built.

I guess that was easier than leveling the hill side! Great view either way.

Charlotte's flight is scheduled for an hour from now, so I'm hoping she's on time.  Her parents have a full day: funeral service for the father of one of their voice students, then some competition at the Metropoloitan Opera, and then THE FANTASTICKS.  I'm on standby.

I've got all 42 labels now inside the plastic pouches.  Tomorrow morning, I'll cart the boxes into the hallway and stick the pouches to the cartons.

Wonder if I should shift to kibble?
Does alternating wet with kibble work?

Of course contents & quality of the food are important & without knowing them I can only comment on the difference between wet and dry.

Alternating wet & dry does work, however…..

Cats often don’t get enough liquid on dry food.  For now I recommend you stay with a good quality canned food.  If you find a new family for him soon they can decide what they want to feed him.  If not you can research various foods and decide what you want to do.

Hello, all!

I have a friend dropping by at 2 and then at 4:30 another friend is coming by with her husband, who is a fantastic carpenter. He is going to stay with my DH and they will plan the project they are doing next week, which involves me moving everything from the bookcases---records, books and lots of art and pottery.

She and I will go to another friend's log cabin to dig plants. The family sold this property to split it amoung the heirs, and the log cabin will be destroyed, but she is going to try to trqansplant as many plants as possible to my yard for safekeeping until she finds a place of her own.

So the girls will be digging, and then fixing dinner for the boys.

We should be back around mid-show. We won't be going to the Oscar party we went to last year because the hosts have called it off this year. A first---but they are busy having a baby!

So...no "FLAN'S LABYRINTH".

I do believe our very own Cason has made a bad decision and will not be auditioning for the role of Zubrick.  Everyone has to audition, it's their deal, but they assured me I'd be fine to use him.  I've tried and tried to make him understand the importance of this decision, but he seems to be in a weird place.

Esparza's   a pleasant enough fellow, but what I saw of his Bobby wasn't very energetic.  Having never seen the show, perhaps that's the character?  An observer who sits around bemused by all and sundry?

And yes, Bobby is passive, but he doesn't have to be PLAYED passively - when I saw George Chakiris do it, he had very nice energy and was very likeable - when you listen to Dean Jones, he's amazingly non-passive, and he was actually electric in the concert reunion I saw in 1993.

I began my afternoon with the second bonus feature on CHARLIE CHAN AT TREASURE ISLAND. This was a featurette about Treasure Island itself, the 1939-1940 Exposition held in San Francisco. I never knew there was a World's Fair there simultaneously with the one going on in New York in 1939. Amazing.
Title: Re:AND THE OSCAR GOES TO...
Post by: Matt H. on February 24, 2008, 01:42:08 PM
I then listened to about 20 minutes of the audio commentary on this CHAN feature. No, Dr. Drew Casper was sadly not chosen to do it, and the two gentlemen participating talked basically off the cuff with nothing prepared ahead of time and wasting a lot of time fumbling for things to talk about.

They should take notes from John Fricke.

Well, I have to go.  I need to take a shower, then try and find this "resale certification" thing, then go to rehearsal.  I will be back...eventually.  I'm not sure when.  I'll start to ketchup as soon as soon as I get back from rehearsal.  I haven't seen many of the nominated movies, so I'm not personally invested in any of the outcomes.  So, spoil away, especially since we're all seeing it live.  There is no tape delay for the west coast. :)

Finished the afternoon with DAN IN REAL LIFE. A nice enough, feel-good comedy (lots of talent on board including Norbert Leo Butz, Dane Cook, Juliette Binoche, Emily Blunt, John Mahoney, Dianne Wiest) but boy was it ever predictable. This got very good reviews, but I found it very forumlaic. Enjoyable but fairly standard stuff.

How many cucumbers gave their lives for BK's cucumberbund? Are silk worms any more sacred than cucumbers?

I'm not aware that ANY moths gave up lives.  I've always been under the impression that the cocoons were collected after the moths emerged.

But I don't worry about the lives of moths bred for silk production any more than der Brucer or S. Woody worry about the lives of the food animals they consumE!

Okay, let's get some postin' goin' on.

For me, this year's Oscars are totally without interest beyond mild  curiousity.  I just don't  care who wins in any category.

It makes me sad, somehow, but the nominations truly seem to reflect the  films Hollywood set aside for "Oscar" at the end of the year rather than any films I might enjoy/be interested in.

To spare you all from  this Oscar malaise,  I shall absent myself from the annual Oscar bitch-fest for lack of there being any win or loss that might delight/incense me.

I'm not excited at all about this year's Oscars.
Sure, I'll tune in just to see how everyone is dressed and how John Stewart's hosting is, but, I'm just not interested.
Like DR Matt, I remember being so excited during my school days of being allowed to stay up and watch - my first was the MY FAIR LADY/MARY POPPINS year  - and have rarely missed an Oscar show since then.  There were times that I was at special parties that watching the show was secondary to everything else going on, and the time that I performed as Boy George at one of those. . .
That said, my predictions:

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
DANIEL DAY-LEWIS
MARION COTILLARD
JAVIER BARDEM
KATE BLANCHETT

I will not be reading anyone's "yellow text" writings.  I will also not post any text in yellow.

I will, however, continue to post SPOILER alert warnings, as I've been doing, before my regular posts of my reactions/replies to comments on recent episodes of shows that I love and wish to discuss just after they've aired.  

I say this now as a courtesy to anyone not wishing to read those posts.  STOP at the SPOILER ALERT, and then demand of yourself that you skip past my post without cheating and looking at it anyway if you don't truly want a spoiler.  It works everywhere else on the internet and it can work here.

I believe posting a SPOILER warning is quite sufficient as a consideration of other people.  Taking extra measures because someone is unable to skip past such a post is not my idea of being considerate.  It's kowtowing to someone's lack of self-discipline/inability to be alert to the warnings.

It's quite one thing to post SPOILER warnings about shows that recently aired.  Ten weeks from now, I don't believe I should be under any PROHIBITION of any kind to discuss -- without warnings -- the completed season.  

And I don't have any interest in finding/using/reading an alternative "invisible" means of writing.

SPOILER has worked perfectly well for years.  One person's inability to heed that without reading the post calls for extra precautions on that person's part, not mine/ours.

Good Afternoon!

Well... I got an unexpected call from my friend, Jack, a couple of hours ago.  We worked together about five years ago, and besides a couple of e-mails since then, we haven't really talked to each other or seen each other...  He's in town for some business, and, luckily, he remembered that I keep my phone number in my e-mail signature, so, he gave me a call...  And about 30 minutes later we met up at Dinosaur BBQ for a very hearty late lunch.  And since it was not that busy today, we were able to linger a bit and catch up on things.  All in all, a very nice way to spend part of this afternoon. :)

He had to head back to his hotel to prepare for his presentation tomorrow, so he won't be joining in the Oscar Bash Festivities.  ;)

This snake-woman in the film I am watching has so far killed 3 people and danced in four musical numbers.

I knew someone like that once.

This past week I had to deal with someone like that--well, not so much snakey, as just OBNOXIOUS.

My thoughts on the Bobby character in Company:  I think he has to be adorably charming (but not smarmy) in order for his aloofness to be so frustrating to the women in his life.

And, in that Doyle production, what were those 3 girlfriends doing in all the couple scenes, anyway?

DR Jennifer - As for the whole SPOILER warning "crap" - pardon my non-French...

I'm with DR Ron Pulliam - There's really no reason for any of us to be that careful when it comes to posting spoilers.  -Especially since the request would entail having no "open" discussions about lost until sometime later this year.  HHW is not the only site where spoilers could get posted/discovered/read accidentally.

And, frankly, if DR Michael Shayne had stayed around yesterday to respond to the responses to his "request", well, I might - and that's a very small "might" - have considered his request.  I understand that we all have varying schedules which may affect how often we check in and post here on HHW and elsewhere, but just to drop by, post an ultimatum of sorts, and then leave, well...

And, again, as many of us have already stated... It's just a TV program.  And, in fact, I find it foolish that we even have to discuss this.  There is nothing wrong with waiting for the DVDs to view the program, but there's also certainly nothing wrong with watching the show when it originally gets broadcast.

Heck, we might as well ask for spoiler warnings on Election Night since some of us work evenings.  NOT!

I have no information except that I just called Charlotte's phone and a young man answered and said that the phone had been lost.  This concerns me for two reasons:
  1.  I can't reach her parents
  2.  where is Charlotte?

This is most frustrating and I am a bit alarmed at the moment

DR Elmore - there will probably be good explanations for these anomalies.  Hope you hear something confirming soon.

I watched a few more sections of the Company broadcast... As bk and others have stated, just way tooooooo many close-ups.  Yes, they did adjust some lighting and a few minor blocking issues for the tapings, but none of the actors were instructed to play to the cameras.  They were still playing to the full house, the audience in the theatre.  Totally different "feel", and to see all those close-ups, well, even I was getting a bit turned off - and I really like the production.  -The whole karate scene would have benefitted from a full stage shot so that you could see how the actors played off of each other even with all the distance between them.  And Raul definitely was not acting and singing for a close-up either.

I had met his friend Tyler once and he was a character. :) He was not shy about sharing how got the disease. He was on a mission to teach. He was thankful for the freinds and life he had. He was also a merry prankster....

Blu-ray players have component connections (red-blue-green) and you can get 1080i quality with Blu-ray discs and 480p quality with standard DVDs.

The HDMI connection (one cable for picture and sound) gives you 1080p pictures for Blu-ray and can upconvert up to 1080p with standard DVDs.

Saw IN THE HEIGHTS this afternoon. The show admittedly has several of those moments where people behave in ways that are not comprehensible as human behavior, some of which are necessary for the plot - but wow, what a potent emotional and dramatic punch this show has.

I didn't say that at all, DR JRand. You can use the HDMI for picture and the other audio connections for sound. There are several ways to get sound out of ANY DVD player and Blu-ray is no different.

Thanks for all the good thoughts; it was nice knowing you were all on my side.  I hadn't not slept well or eaten much for a couple of a days and I guess ended up having a small seisure after church.  Luckily I was not driving and had people to help, but I did manage to fall into a bunch of cactus.  Luckily, X-rays and Cat scan came back normal.

My body is very sore.  DR Laura is buying me some food right now. She and and her family were right there for me through it all.  I gotta tell ya!

From Amazon.com:

Quote
As befits the soundtrack of a music biopic, most of the heavy lifting here is done by the movie's subject: iconic French singer Edith Piaf. She was the Gallic Judy Garland, a natural performer who overcame one personal tragedy after another and was never more alive than on stage, forging an uncommon bond with both material and audience. Since actress Marion Cotillard lip-synchs in the film, the first 11 tracks on the CD are by Piaf herself, and give a good overview of her biggest hits (though we get the English version of the title track) and her feverish, ultra-dramatic style. But Piaf wasn't only a tragedienne of song: Her lighter side is represented by "Rien de Rien" and "Mon Mančge ŕ Moi," which she infuses with wonderful flair. Tracks 12-20 are made up of Christopher Gunning's richly symphonic original score (check out "La Mort de Leplée"). The last third of the album offers Piaf without Piaf, with contemporary singers Jil Aigrot and Maya Barsoni performing her songs (apparently because the originals' poor sound quality meant they would have stuck out in the movie). Watch out, however, for Mistinguett's hilarious "Il m'a vu nue," a slice of French music-hall history preserved in amber. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

I don't know what to think of that song from Once - bad lyrics, but an okay tune.

When I heard the first notes of the song from ONCE, I thought it was a old song from the 1960s. . .I kept hearing "I don't love you, but I want you. . ." or something to that effect.

There was enough variation with the winners to prevent the show for being boring since I was truly expecting a few more upsets since we did have one or two. The jokes were no better or worse than they've been with more preparation time, I thought. Par for the course.

Ok, I get that No Country won and I expected it from all the buzz, but I have to say I really didn't like the movie. I also didn't like There Will Be Blood.  But apparently it's just me

Of the films nominated for best picture. I liked Atonement, Michael Clayton and Juno (not necessarily in that order) and didn't like There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men - Just not my cup of tea

Do you read the notes?  I talked at length about this film last week.  And I most certainly did not love No Country For Old Men and I really didn't love There Will Be Blood.

So far, so good.  We've blocked most of the first act and tomorrow night, I don't have to be there at all!  They're doing a big dance number that I'm not in. :) I'll finally have time to (hopefully) actually work on memorizing my part. :-\
