Title: ANAGRAMS
Post by: bk on March 04, 2004, 12:03:06 AM: Well, you've read the notes, you've anagrammed the notes and you are now ready to post until the cows come home, so to it, I say.

Post by: TCB on March 04, 2004, 12:31:49 AM: I am afraid I am too tired to do a First Post Dance, in fact I am too tired to even attempt an anagram. i just dragged my very tired self home from rehearsal. The 85th Anniversary Gala Concert goes up in just two days, count them, two days (No, please, count them for me, cause I am all tuckered out).

But, I am not too tired for this:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
DEAR PANNI (ANNA)!

DR Panni, what an honor it has been to read your posts and to get to know you just a bit, even if only from a distance. I wish you the very best on your birthday, and for all of the year ahead.
Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: Panni on March 04, 2004, 12:50:31 AM: Thank you, TCB! I'm so glad I dragged my tired bod back to see that. Now I'll go to sleep with a smile on my face.
Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: Ann on March 04, 2004, 01:16:02 AM: Good evening all! Actually it's 1 in the morning, so it's not really evening at all, but oh well. I cannot seem to get to sleep. Sleep is avoiding me, it is being elusive and also exclusive. I cannot understand why sleep is doing such a thing to me, it is most unseemly. But whilst I am up with nothing else to do, what better time to post at HHW?
First, welcome back to DR Maya! We have indeed missed you around here! A break can be a fine thing now and again, I agree, but I'm glad you decided to rejoin the rest of us in the land of HHW.

TCB, what days does the gala concert happen? Is it Saturday night? If so, when and where? I don't have a show Satuday night, so I would love to be there!
And if you feel like seeing a fairly decent (IMHO) production of Pirates of Peznance, there's a Sunday matinee :)

I have a confession to make..I am posting this without having read the days notes first. Shame on me! I shall post this and go back and read the notes so dear bk does not bitchslap me from here to eternity and to hell and back.
Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: Tomovoz on March 04, 2004, 01:31:28 AM: Happy birthday from OZ too Anna. And I am typing this on the right day for both of us! Hope your year brings success and pleasure from such success.
Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: Ann on March 04, 2004, 01:34:33 AM: I have now read the notes and believe I am a better person for it. I'll answer the topic tomorrow. I think I'm going to give sleep another try.

Question...if DR Panni became a grandmother, would she then truly be an Anna-gram? :D

Post by: William E. Lurie on March 04, 2004, 06:33:07 AM: Take an actress whose credits include a nighttime soap and a couple of teen horror flicks and let her use her money from those ventures to co-produce a film the she co-wrote the "story" for and stars in and you get THE COMPANY. Neve Campbell (sister of REEFER MADNESS - THE MUSICAL's star Christian) did have the good sense to hire a decent director --- Robert Altman --- for her film. The results are totally mixed. On the positive side, this fictional film about the actual Jofferey Ballet is beautifully directed and edited. Altman's filming of the dance numbers is breathtaking. You see the dancers from many different angles, but you also see clips of the backstage activity that gives you a real feel for how a ballet is presented. Perhaps these scenes seem better than they are because the rest of the film is so bad. There is no real beginning and no end... just a lot of scenes about the members of this dance company. One of the first scenes, for example, has a male dancer complain to the head of the company (the one filled-in character in the film wonderfully played by Malcolm McDowell) that he wants a new partner because he stopped sleeping with his current partner. That storyline is then totally dropped. There are other snippetts of story that are never developed as well. There are cliches galore (a solo dancer hurts her tendon and is replaced by a younger company member who becomes a star while the hurt dancer watches from the wings on crutches) and a few things that don't seem right: would a soloist in a major ballet company really make so little money that she has to wait tables in a bar after performances? But everytime things get a little strange in the non-screenplay there is a well-performed and beautifully filmed number to bring things back to life. And for a film about a dance company, homosexuality is barely implied let alone the subject of one of the snippets. P.S. The Rodgers and Hart Estates must be making a bundle on the five varied versions of "My Funny Valentine" that serve as most of the score - one for a dance number and the others as "source music".

Nice to see Maya pop back in for a visit last night.

I'm looking forward to watching the two hour Charlie Chaplin special I recorded off TCM last night. I'm assuming this special is included on one or the other of those Chaplin boxed sets, but since I don't intended on buying those sets, I'm glad to have this documentary here.

I did a google image search for "birthday" and this was the most interesting one that came up on the first page.

Welcome back deaaaaaarrrrr Maya! :)

(http://icechef.com/images/Ice%20Sculptures/5-30-03_SH_Welcome_Back_4.jpg)

I did another google image search for "welcome back" and this was definitely the best one that came up. Believe or not, someone has their entire "ice-art" portfolio online. Meh.

I suck at anagrams and therefore will not even attempt to anagramize these names. Although I am looking forward to reading your attempts.

The dell disaster has been fixed. Yea! So far it has yet to crash! Yea!

Today is Saint Casimir Day. Betcha didn't know that. Some guys were talking about it in the metro and I was like "What? Saint Whosit?" Poor Saint Casimir. I think this is a shame. Saint Casimir has a day for a reason and therefore I think we should celebrate it. Break out the Saint Casimir cookies and ham chunks and lets dance the Casmir-Crazy-Dance. :)
Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: Ben on March 04, 2004, 07:53:01 AM: I was supposed to see Wicked last night but I decided not to because Kristen Chenowith was out of the show yesterday and today. While I usually don't mind seeing an understudy (I've seen some wonderful performances by them and as a former performer I know how dispiriting it can be to have people leave because the star is not in the show), in this case I wanted to see Miss Chenowith and also the producer of the BBC Wales radio show which airs my reviews wants me to see the show with her. I got a refund on my ticket and I will go this weekend, either Friday evening, Saturday matinee or Sunday matinee or Tuesday or Wednesday evening next week. I'm going to Playwrights Horizons this Saturday evening so I can't go then. Oh, well. I'll just have to listen to the CD until then.

Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: Panni on March 04, 2004, 07:55:27 AM: Thank you for all the DELICIOUS early morning (here in LA, anyway) birthday greetings, my dear HHW friends!

And thank you for the shameless plug for AMELIA, Jrand53. I love the opening of the film, if I do say so myself - and I just did. I had a very Bergman-esque image in mind - and the director (Yves Simoneau) actually did it!
Tell me, please, is the sound is good on your video of the film? I have only one copy of it and the sound is not great. I'm wondering if it's just my particular cassette or if it's a general problem.

DR Lulu - Diane made a wonderful Amelia E. She really looks like her, for one thing. And she did an excellent acting job. As did Bruce Dern as Putnam. She showed up for the opening, at the DGA, as I recall, dressed head to toe in white (white gloves, natch) and looked faboo.

Okay, to writing. I'll be checking in later. Thank you again, all you terrific people!
Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: William E. Lurie on March 04, 2004, 08:09:30 AM: Has Ms. Chenowith taken to missing performances on a regular basis or was this just a fluke? I know that she had pre-arranged a week in May to do CANDIDE as a benefit for the NYPO, but I thought she was pretty good about not missing performances. At the preview I saw, there was a note inserted in the Playbill® stating that she had injured her wrist at a previous performance but because she didn't want to disappoint the audience by staying out, she would be performing in a wrist brace. She didn't have the brace though.
Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: Jrand73 on March 04, 2004, 08:19:38 AM: DR WEL -maybe it meant she was performing after having a "bracer."

Oh yes, DRLULU, I forgot to tell you....amazingly even given the age difference....Diane Keaton looked remarkable like Amelia Earhart, not that I remember her or anything, I will just say like the photos and films I have seen of Amelia. If you are interested in the subject, it's great fun to watch! Unfortunately it is selling at Amazon.com right now for over $90!

Some time ago here on HHW I posted a fairly smutty anagram of one of BK's close personal friends. I cannot for the life of me remember it this morning.
Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: Matt H. on March 04, 2004, 08:26:12 AM: During my last couple of years of teaching, I was sent a video by some company that had sponsored a woman who was going to fly Amelia's route and try to make the voyage she failed to make in the same type of plane Amelia used. THroughout the tape were numerous clips of the real Amelia and a very good biography of her life.

Post by: MBarnum on March 04, 2004, 08:59:14 AM: OH, Maya, it was grand to see you post last night! We love your buddy Jenny...she is cute and funny and her posts are very entertaining!

Went to the silent films last night at the Elsinore Theater. Not quite as much fun as last month's showing, but still it was amusing.

The first film was Charlie Chaplin's THE FIREMAN. Not one of his best. In fact the audience, myself included, pretty much sat through the whole thing like so much fish. Fortunately the Ben Turpin movie was a little more amusing and the Laurel and Hardy film (Bacon Grabbers) was quite hilarious.

One of the most interesting things for me is to see these shots of Los Angeles from the teens and twenties. It would be fascinating to find out if the homes used in the filming are still around. Or to find out what streets were used in the filming and then see what that street looks like now (some of the streets used in a couple of the films were places that were mostly fields but that where some brand new homes were being built).

Post by: Kerry on March 04, 2004, 09:25:35 AM: Of course, Happpy Birthday to Panni. I willl meet you in person sometime, I am sure.

I remember the Amelia Earhardt film and loved it because they (you) used the Dolores Del Rio/Cedric Gibbons house as a location. I want that house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of locations, Michael, there are couple of books out comparing film locations-- what it looked like then, what it looks like now; where the locations are, etc. You can STILL go visit the set of steps from "The Music Box"!

And I'm out of "Surfside 6" episodes :'( :P >:( ???
One of the last ones included the lovely Leslie Parrish!
Van Willliams looks wonderful in a suit, in a bathing suit, in a shirt, on the dirt, on a boat, with a goat. Van's the man; he is, that Van!

You can tell who read Dr. Seuss to the kids yesterday.

And I got one of those messages from Bruce today that if I were paying attention I wouldn't have opened. Luckily my virus catcher worked.

Bruce, dear Bruce, for the autographed books, can they be personalized? Please? Or at least one of the two that I ordered? ANd please thank Guy Haines coming in at the last minute to help you and the completely and amazing Grant Geissman on the CD's.

BTW- Re MISS ROSE WHITE - Like LOTR (well, not EXACTLY like it) Rosie swept the Emmy Awards in its year - can't remember how many, but lots, incl, best movie, director, supporting actress, etc. etc. The only major category which did not win was...DRUMROLL...Writer. I was a sad puppy because as the evening progressed it seemed like a sure thing. We all know about sure things. The upside was that also losing in my category that year were Robert Bolt and Neil Simon. Bob, Doc and I went to a nearby pub and drowned our sorrows. (That's not true, but it makes for a nice ending to the story.)

Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: Lulu on March 04, 2004, 09:45:36 AM: Yes, I spoke too hastily re: Diane Keaton as Amelia Earhart. I misunderstood Jrand's post and thought he was writing about a movie that was "coming soon" as opposed to "already made and shown 10 years ago." Obviously the age difference isn't a big deal between 40 and 48 as it is between 40 and 58. And I'll say it again, I adore Diane Keaton and thought people were mean for making fun of the way she dressed for the Oscars. "Does she still think it's 1977?" No, that's her personal style; she didn't follow the trend, she SET the trend and it's an expression of who she is that hasn't changed with the years. So there.

There are so many many talented people here - professional writers and performers, and now there are even lots of young and gorgeous female-type persons here, I must say I'm sometimes awfully jealous and long for the good ol' days when Lulu was popular and beloved.

But just for a little while, as all of these talented and accomplished and young and gorgeous people are also very, very nice and, dare I say it, scintillating conversationalists (in an abstract, virtual kinda way).

Post by: Matt H. on March 04, 2004, 10:00:55 AM: I had a feeling John Stevens was going to lead the voting last night. His line was busy for the first 30 minutes after the show, and though I broke though once or twice, it wasn't until later that I was able to get through in successive calls.

I was hoping they'd have explained how those 9 were arrived at as Wild Card entries before the judges picked three from the leftover group last night. Was it total number of phone votes? Judges' selections? Producers' choices? I can't gripe much about the choices which included all of the talented singers who didn't already make it (and some very untalented ones, too), but a little more information would have been nice.

Saturday is almost sold out, so if you are interested in seeing it, you might want to call this afternoon for tickets I hope you can see it, it is a pretty great show, but not because of anything I am doing.

Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: William F. Orr on March 04, 2004, 01:02:17 PM: Of course, Latin anagrams were once all the rage. I read this one years ago in Ripley, certainly relevant to a recently-released foreign-languge gory movie:

Pontius Pilate's question to Christ, "What is truth?"

QUID EST VERITAS?

The anagram of this is:

EST VIR QUI ADEST

"It is the man who is present."

The Bible Code and all that. My favorite oddity from Ripley in this regard concerns the King James Version.

When it was published, Shakespeare was 46 years old.
Go to the 46th Psalm.
The 46th word from the beginning is "shake".
The 46th word from there (and also the 46th from the end) is "spear".

Now tell me, how did anyone discover that? And didn't they have way too much time on their hands?

I need excellent HHW birthday vibes sent my daughter's way (check out her photo from a few day's ago)...

She (Rachel Alice, by name) just called me from San Francisco, very excited. Rachel is a superb WHEEL OF FORTUNE player. She can see three letters (sometimes fewer) and come up with correct answers that seem impossible to guess. For years she's been saying that if she ever got on WHEEL she'd have college paid for. So today, quite unexpectedly, the WHEEL people showed up on her campus at the Univ. of San Francisco to audition students for the College show. They randomly selected a number of students to try out from the many who applied. She got chosen - that was sheer luck. But then she played and WON in her group. That was skill. They then interviewd her - she has a very bubbly personality - so that should be good. She will hear in the next few weeks if she gets to go on the actual game. So please send lovely HHW WHEEL OF FORTUNE vibes to Rachel, daughter of Panni/Anna.

Seeing the clips again, I broke up over all the gags in THE CIRCUS. Earlier in my life, I wasn't all that fond of it. Now, it makes me laugh uproariously with its slapstick antics, and when one reads what a torture it was for him to make, it's amazing it's so lighthearted and hilarious. I think it's his least heralded feature, and it deserves to be better known.

I've got a few of those "signature only" books (but not by our esteemed BK, who personalizes very nicely, thank-you). Most of the sig only books are ones I've found in the super bargain bins, very discounted. Kinda makes you wonder what the value of the signature is supposed to be!

Post by: Ron Pulliam on March 04, 2004, 01:36:41 PM: "Inscribed" items, items made out to someone, are not as valuable in re-sale as "signed" items...items simply bearing the autograph of the artist.

I'd much rather have a nice autographed photo -- "Sincerely, Barbara Cook," for instance -- than one that says, "For Wendy, a sweet fan. All my love, Barbara Cook".

If an item is going to stay in a family, then, yes, the inscription will have much meaning for the heirs. I would imagine that a back story would add to the value of an inscribed item on "Antiques Roadshow". But in general, getting a signature on a photo at the theater door, or at a signing, it's potentially more valuable to eschew the personalization for future value.

Just home for a moment from today's trip to the emergency room. My son Gabe fell at school today and broke his arm in several places. It looked like a pretzel and it was very hard for me to stay calm as I drove him to the hospital. He's under anesthesia now as they set it, then evidently we need to return in two days for them to put an official cast on it. Oy, oy, oy--I thought his getting hit by a car two years ago was his "bad luck" for a lifetime.

Who's interested in the Del Rio/Gibbons home? It's absolutely stunning, though it looks like a fortress from the street. Later, when I am calmer, I can tell you the very funny story of the day I went there to take pictures. Let me just say that my brother-in-law, who drove us there, was extremely paranoid about me snapping shots right and left as we drove up and down the street. I'll look for the pics and post them after I've taken my Prozac.

I don't mind personally inscribed books to me...or old ones inscribed to others that I've picked up elsewhere. A personal inscription by the author gives the book an additional history which I find interesting.

I also don't buy books as investments (though most of the books I buy do increase in value), I buy them with the intention of reading them. Their friends; not a portfolio.

Does anyone know if this is substantially different from the 1997 Ryko release, which I also have? I mean, I know that the earlier Ryko release has the extra "Original Incidental Dialogue From the Film" tracks and the CD-ROM trailer and all the artwork is different, but has the sound on Varèse's new release been re-remastered and therefore better than Ryko's or is it otherwise exactly the same? Does anyone have any information or know of websites where I can go? Any help will be appreciated (even though I already bought and opened it).

Did you ever watch the Canadian quiz show Definition? Hardly in the Wheel of Fortune category, but I did make it on as a contestant, my celebrity partner being Leslie Nielsen. For everyone else, Canadian quiz shows are not known to be big spenders in the prize department, but in several rounds I won (a) a leisure suit, (b) a bed, and (c) $130. The game was like a simpler version of "Wheel" (and I think it was pre-Wheel). Some kind of riddle was asked, and teams competed in guessing the answer as more and more letters filled in the blanks.

LOL, TCB. You are one of the main reasons I don't let Gabe read this site. :)

My apologies, JMK.

Post by: Kerry on March 04, 2004, 06:09:08 PM: Micahel, may I keep the tape you sent, or would you like it returned? (I WILL copy THE episode for Bruce).

BTW, my aunt and grandmother went to Los Angeles every summer to escape the heat. One day they were stoppped at a red light and heard singing. They loooked next to them to see Joi Lansing in a convertible singing merrily. They saw her again with her parents at some other place. Nice picture to have in your mind-- a breeze blowing and Joi Lansing in a convertible in the next lane.

Post by: Jane on March 04, 2004, 06:32:24 PM: Danise, Echo is well thank you. After her romp she twisted her right foot, unfortunately she is prone to sprains. With an aspirin & a days rest she was fine. Yesterday was the first day, since my terrible cough, my muscles didn’t hurt too much for me to join my hiking group & we had a great time. She was ecstatic.

JMK your Gabe story is cute.

Post by: S. Woody White on March 04, 2004, 07:50:21 PM: DR JMK: More seriously, is Gabe's elbow to be trapped in the cast as well as his arm? If so, the time to watch out is when the cast comes off!

I remember all too well when the cast was taken off of my broken (impacted) shoulder. Not only had the cast extended down half of my torso, it also wrapped up my arm, with a bend at the elbow and a cross-brace from about chest-level up to my elbow, keeping it stuck out even with my shoulder.

Not only was this arrangement hell to sleep in, there were real problems when the cast came off. The muscles had atrophied enough that even lowering my arm a fraction of an inch hurt more than when the break took place. Thankfully, I was recouperating at my parent's home, so Dad was able to help me through the worst of it. We ended up using the cast as a brace while the arm was slowly lowered back down to normal. We've got a pic of me around somewhere; I'll have to get der Brucer to scan it and post.

Again, mucho vibes of goodness being sent to Gabe from our house.

How lovely to be back in a Motel which has something to connect my computer to! Incommunicado is no fun! So, I'm in Albuquerque (did you know how to spell it before I just wrote it?), having spent last night in Oklahoma City, and the night before in Memphis. Oy, and no phone connection since i crossed the Mississippi River early yesterday.

Anyway, hello to all my pals here at haineshisway. kisses. Back in LA probably by Saturday night. bye, penny

Long day. Good, but long. 260 people. Well give or take about ten for the no-shows, but still... And a lot of singers today. And a LOT of "Gimme, Gimme's" again... It got to the point where as soon as I started the lead in, you could sense - and hear - the collective moan from the company members in the ballroom. Ah, well... But a pretty decent batch of auditionees, and there was really only two or three trainwrecks today.

DR Panni aka Anna

Happy Birthday!
Boldog születésnapot!

DR JMK - Good Health and Healing Vibes to Gabe!

Well... I'm a bit wiped out... and have another 250 auditions starting in the morning.

Goodnight.

Post by: MBarnum on March 04, 2004, 09:45:44 PM: DR Kerry, of course you may keep that tape! I made DVD copies of the episodes that I wanted to keep.

And that is a wonderful story about Joi Lansing. I adore that woman and oh but she died way too soon!

BK, one of these days I shall make a copy for you of Leslie Parrish's Perry Mason episode titled CASE OF THE MADCAP MODISTE in which young Ms. Parrish plays a runway model involved with the murder of Ms. Marie Windsor. You would also then discover who Ms. Dorothy Neumann is!

Post by: bk on March 04, 2004, 10:04:55 PM: Lovely postings - but may I just say, where in tarnation IS everyone? I come back after taking dear reader Panni for a birthday dinner and film and there is one count them one person here? Denizens, where be you? We had a lovely dinner at Stanley's and then we watched a motion picture on DVD entitled The School of Rock, about which I will have much to say in tomorrow's notes.
Title: Re:ANAGRAMS
Post by: bk on March 04, 2004, 10:57:54 PM: Not even eleven o'clock and there are zero count them zero people here. How very unseemly. Denizens, where in tarnation ARE you? We need a denizen fix and we need it quick. We need to keep the home fries burning after all.

Post by: Panni on March 04, 2004, 10:59:30 PM: First of all GOOD VIBES TO YOUNG GABE! And to the rest of the family.
There's no pain like feeling your child's pain. May Gabe heal quickly and well.

And now a HUGE thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes - even one in Hungarian from Jose, accents and all. What a terrific bunch of people you all are! It's a great blessing to be part of the HHW family.

I had a fabulous birthday. Got my writing done, had many cards, e-mails and phone calls - even one from my best childhood friend in Toronto, whom I've known since 6th grade.

The evening was just wonderful. Dear bk took me out for a scrumptious dinner. I had grilled salmon with dill mashed potatoes. Yummy. He had some kind of creamy chicken pasta without the pasta -- reminiscent of Jack Nicholson in FIVE EASY PIECES, except the waiter did not need to be told to put the pasta between his knees.

After dinner we went back to chez Kimmel where I enjoyed delicious flourless chocolate cake - there was also a Snow White cupcake, which I'm saving for tomorrow - while watching SCHOOL OF ROCK,which was excellent. (bk, of course, had no cake.)

After I arrived home, I discovered that I had left my reading glasses and my gentlemanly host drove them over to my place. The last of the knights in shining armor is our bk.

In short, DRs, I had the BEST birthday ever.

Post by: S. Woody White on March 04, 2004, 11:37:23 PM: I was off watching a DVD.

Hopefully, tomorrow der Brucer will be hooking up the new player/amp/speakers he bought today. I'm terrible at that sort of thing, and he's the one with the degree in engineering.

And then we can all have our usual Friday media listings! Calloo, callay!
