Well, you've read the notes, the notes asked the question, who killed teddy bear, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently being accused of killing teddy bear.
-
And the word of the day is: CONDUCE!
-
A Very Happy Birthday to Edisaurus (aka Amy)!! ;D
-
I remember that "Who Killed Teddy Bear?" was discussed here a few years ago. I bought a DVD. It was a guilty pleasure. ;)
-
I certainly felt guilty after watching it.
-
I am just baffled by what old threads our GUESTS are checking out. It seems so random, and yet there must be a rhyme and reason to it. Perhaps the rhyme for reason is season or treason.

I'm listening to the Anita Kerr Singers - a rather delightful CD.

ASSOCIATED PRESS (http://www.foxnews.com/)
Sex Offender Pleads Guilty to Raping Boy in Public Library
Monday , February 02, 2009
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. —
A convicted sex offender pleaded guilty Monday to raping a 6-year-old boy at a Massachusetts public library last year while he was on probation.
Corey Deen Saunders, 27, entered the plea Monday to child rape and related charges. He was arrested Jan. 30, 2008, after luring the boy to the magazine stacks in the New Bedford library while the child's mother worked on a computer just a few feet away.
At a court hearing last year, prosecutors played a videotaped interview in which the boy told a child welfare official the assault was like being attacked by a "T-rex and an alligator."
At the time, Saunders was on probation after serving four years in prison for the attempted rape of a 7-year-old boy.
Saunders had been released in 2006 despite objections from prosecutors, who are allowed under state law to ask that sex offenders be locked up indefinitely after completing their prison terms. Three psychologists supported the commitment request, but the judge granted him probation, citing his lack of sexual crimes while in prison.
...
Let me get this straight - a pedophile is rewarded for not offending while in prison. That's like congratulating Harvey Fierstein for staying celibate in a convent.

SWEET MOVIE (the vilest thing I have ever had the misfortune to watch).
I have to say, however, that I felt really dirty and sick at heart when I came out of PULP FICTION. Imagine my surprise when it became this widely celebrated, Oscar-winning critics' darling. Well, Disney is releasing it on Blu-ray in the next couple of months, so I will be revisiting it. I'll be interested to see, now that I've seen Mr. Tarantino's other films, if I still have the same disgusted reaction to the piece.

My work project today is Criterion's SIMON THE DESERT. It's a very brief film - only 45 minutes or so, and though there is a lengthy documentary on the disc, it'd be great if I could finish everything this afternoon.

It isn't the GOP that is showcasing the guy. Some organization called the Conservative Working Group is doing the showcasing. Only an idiot would confuse the CWG with the GOP.
The article says the CWG is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who gather to plot GOP strategy...close enough for me. If the GOP is taking advice from Joe the Plumber, one can plainly see how irrelevant they've become and how they continue to not get it. The future of the party does not lie with cretins like Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin. To embrace them will only continue to marginalize the party.

I thought it must be a good day of tips for the servers; however, our favorite Denny's server, Mary, said many people weren't tipping. How very very sad.

They're tipping based on what they're paying, not based on what they would have paid normally.
You're right, DR Laura. Very sad indeed.

We don't have a Denny's locally.
We have an IHOP.
The last time we went to the IHOP, our waitress spent her time chatting with the table next to ours, even when we asked for her attention. The manager came over... and joined in the conversation.
Like I say, that's the last time we've gone to an IHOP.

Thanks, Ginny! Good luck with your furnace!
We just had a bit of good luck, sort of. We were coming back home from the vet and the water meter inspector was at a nearby house. Our water bill was 3x the usual amount last month and the city wouldn't even come over and look at it. You have to have a special tool to even open the cover now. So this guy opened it up and helped us figure out the problem. We will probably have to replace a big water line, but at least we know what we're dealing with and we have other plumbing jobs that need doing, so maybe we'll be able to get them all taken care of.
Between that and the fact that our vet recommended that we see a specialist about my love cat, Bailey, who may possibly need surgery, I'm glad we didn't decide to celebrate our birthdays in an expensive way!

We had dinner at our local BBQ place last night (Fat Matt's Rib Shack, mentioned recently by DR Jose). Live music, with more people in the band than there were diners. The other table ignored the band and didn't even appluad!They play for tips only, so we tipped them 10 bucks. I guess they must enjoy doing it because they're certainly not in it for the $$!

Thanks, DR Ron P! Now I want to find out about this Christian Bale story!
It's an audio of a really long hissy fit (i.e. profane tirade) of Bale on the set of a movie. This movie was being shot "before" he had that incident in London in which he was accused of abusing his semi-estranged (but happy to have a successful son) mother and sister. It was just before the London premiere of "The Dark Knight."
He references, at one point, that this incident was not the first time the director of photography had strolled through his sight lines while he was doing a scene. Bale was obviously stressed out. (Does anyone else find it disturbing that the director told Bale he didn't "see" what had happened?).
He reminded me of my Company Commander in Navy boot camp! :D

DR Elmore3003: I noticed in one of your posts last night that you mention wishing your dad's house would sell. I recall that during your recent visit to Ohio you made a lot of mention about your brothers being willing to buy you out, although the evil brother wanted to pay much less than fair market value for your share.
Does this mean you refused his offer?

No one said they were running the party. But the problem is the Party spends far too much time pandering to the fringe elements of their party rather than the moderate, mainstream voices that actually still know what the core principles of the Party are. As long as they keep listening to the Palins, Plumbers, Limbaughs, one-issue, rigid religious whack-os, and anti-intellectual, uneducated rubes, they're going to get nowhere.

Yesterday, I had a flat tire on the interstate. So I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully got out of the car and opened the trunk. I took out two cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing on-coming traffic. They looked so life like you wouldn't believe it! They're dressed in open trench coats that exposed their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers.
Not to my surprise, cars started slowing down to look at my lifelike men. And, of course, traffic began backing up. Everybody tooted their horns and waved like crazy. It wasn't long before a state trooper pulled up behind me.
He got out of his car and walked towards me. I could tell he was not a happy camper!
"What's going on here?"
"My car has a flat tire," I said calmly.
"Well, what the hell are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?"
I couldn't believe that he didn't know. So I told him, "Helloooooo, those are my emergency flashers!"

"Heroes" really offered promise for the rest of the season. Some suspenseful things began to happen. Can't wait to see how it unfolds.

OK, someone here is bound to know.
A friend of mine (in the Los Angeles area) is taking his wife to see Phantom of the Opera, a matinee since the wife refuses to go out at night. Antonio wants to know how long the show takes, so that he can plan for dinner after.
Does anyone out there know? Or have an idea on how I can find out for him?
Thanks.
I recommend he call the theater and ask whoever answers the phone. That will surely give him a good idea how long that particular show is running.

DR Elmore3003: I noticed in one of your posts last night that you mention wishing your dad's house would sell. I recall that during your recent visit to Ohio you made a lot of mention about your brothers being willing to buy you out, although the evil brother wanted to pay much less than fair market value for your share.
Does this mean you refused his offer?
Of course. I suspect he thought I'd make a counter offer but he knows how far i'm willing to settle to get rid of my share at what I think is a fair price. The Macbeths have already lied to me and Randy about how much he owed my dad's estate and we settled for $10,000 less than he actually owed because we couldn't find the original check. We've since then found the check and the Macbeths will neither be trusted nor wept over again.

According to Playbill, it rubns 2 hrs, 45 with intermission:

Phantom's run-time is 2 and 1/2 hours with intermission, like clockwork.

Yesterday, I had a flat tire on the interstate. So I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully got out of the car and opened the trunk. I took out two cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing on-coming traffic. They looked so life like you wouldn't believe it! They're dressed in open trench coats that exposed their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers.
Not to my surprise, cars started slowing down to look at my lifelike men. And, of course, traffic began backing up. Everybody tooted their horns and waved like crazy. It wasn't long before a state trooper pulled up behind me.
He got out of his car and walked towards me. I could tell he was not a happy camper!
"What's going on here?"
"My car has a flat tire," I said calmly.
"Well, what the hell are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?"
I couldn't believe that he didn't know. So I told him, "Helloooooo, those are my emergency flashers!"
Darn--it's a joke--I was going to ask you where you bought them.

Isn't his 15 minutes long over? I can't believe the GOP is still showcasing this idiot!
It isn't the GOP that is showcasing the guy. Some organization called the Conservative Working Group is doing the showcasing. Only an idiot would confuse the CWG with the GOP.
The article says the CWG is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who gather to plot GOP strategy...close enough for me. If the GOP is taking advice from Joe the Plumber, one can plainly see how irrelevant they've become and how they continue to not get it. The future of the party does not lie with cretins like Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin. To embrace them will only continue to marginalize the party.
The CWG is a faction within the GOP. They do not represent the party as a whole. Indeed, the only way the CWG is able to get any attention is by hawking a celebrity - if they didn't have JtP coming to their meeting (and you can bet they're paying him to come), no one outside their membership would even take note that a meeting was going on.
Further, that whole "plot GOP strategy" doesn't mean they're running the party. It means they're plotting how they're going to try to run the party. Not the same thing at all.
No one said they were running the party. But the problem is the Party spends far too much time pandering to the fringe elements of their party rather than the moderate, mainstream voices that actually still know what the core principles of the Party are. As long as they keep listening to the Palins, Plumbers, Limbaughs, one-issue, rigid religious whack-os, and anti-intellectual, uneducated rubes, they're going to get nowhere.
You do realize that the new Chairman of the GOP is Michael Steele, right?
Joe the Plumber is a publicity stunt. Steele is a highly educated moderate. Steele trumps the lead pipe any day.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening.... Today will hopefully be putting a big dent in the Anything Goes arrangements.
I did have a question for anyone that has an answer, the new Liza CD "Liza's at the Palace" is released today, has anyone heard it yet and if so, is it worth listening to?
DR Matthew, I enjoyed the ootlegbay I downloaded last week. She's not of the same voice she once had but still delivers a terrific performance. Makes me wish I had seen the show.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And, yes, POTO runs 2 hours and 30 minutes (which includes the 15-minute intermission - which is actually 17 minutes).

DR Matthew - Get the CD. True, she's not the Liza she used to be, but there's a great Energy there. And the band ROCKS!!!!

I've sent Tony the running time, and suggested he call. Thanks, all!

Listening to Christian Bale. My, my, my. I think we need a YouTube LuPone/Bale medley. :)
Actually, I believe that may already be in the works. :)
*And if you check YouTube now, and search for "Christian Bale Remix", there are a few options already up. However, the originator of the "Patti LuPone Freakout Remix" is working on a Christian Bale one - actually, he posted one already, but removed it earlier this morning. Hopefully, he's just tweaking its brilliance. ;D

I just ordered LIZA'S AT THE PALACE the (official) recording.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
The only that comes to mind right now is "The Brown Bunny" - which was really only sleazy during the last ten minutes. Everything up to then was tedious and boring.
Oh, and I guess "Caligula" could be considered sleazy too - although, it's so over the top, I guess it surpasses sleaze. ???

She came down and said" I heard you! You didn't have to shout!!"

It's sunny outside right now. We may get some "haze" later in the day and some "fog" in the evening. That should "cool" things down.

Well, after attending some of the other events at the Lincoln Center Barnes & Noble, I've learned to stay away from some of the more "popular" ones. It really does get quite crowded inside the room and outside the room too.
Besides, I'm attending the first preview of The Story of My Life tonight. And I'm really looking forward to that. :)

Liza doing a studio set - would that include a Murphy bed she could pull down for when she gets tired?

I've been reading "Second Act Trouble" by Steven Suskin, and have been enjoying it so far. However, it's sending my cast album addiction into overdrive! Does anyone have the LP "Inner City'? It played for a short time in 1972-1973.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR EDISAURUS!!!!!
Thank you, Mr. Enabler! I just heard a rave review for the production of JCSS at the Alliance. Apparently they've gone less rock and more gospel, so I think that's what we'll do tonight. Plus, there are a lot of seats available so I can get cheap rush tickets. (And you know how we all like a cheap rush!) Hope they don't stray too far from the original music!

Thanks for the kitty vibes, too, Jane & DAW. I'm hoping the specialist will call me and will be able to see him soon. If surgery is involved, we may hold off until next month when they have another in-house dentist so we can clean his teeth at the same time instead of putting him under twice. I'm anxious to see what she says about his condition.

And I'm very happy that my vet wasn't offended that I mentioned consulting a specialist. He said "you read my mind!" and gave us a good recommendation.

***PLUMBING REPAIR VIBES***
to DR Edisaurus and DH Greg!!!! :(

This is indeed looking like an expensive day, but I'm very happy because if we have a plumber over I can get rid of the hideous hand-painted purple toilet (it used to be pink, which was too much for the previous owner....purple is better?) and ugly sink cabinet, put in the new water heater AND fix this leak thing. I'm starting to feel like Danise!
-
On the plus side, I finally got Ticketmaster on the phone and talked to a rational human being who was willing to fix something that was their screw-up. The internet customer service said "Tough luck". Alway better to deal with a human in person!
-
... and I wanted to warn folks about two scams out there that have been in the news recently:
1. Watch for strange amounts on your credit card bill -- there are scammers out there with bogus company names that put in random account numbers and run a small charge, like 23 cents. If you pay it, then they know they're got a hit, and then will run other, larger amounts. Not to mention what they can make off all the 23 cents that folks pay and don't report since such a small amount tends not to raise a red flag for some folks.
2. This scam was reported on the news last night (and actually happened to me last week). West Credit Union (or some bogus name like that) sent a text message saying there had been questionable activity on my account and to call their number immediately. I was like what the --- I don't use my cell phone number for business stuff and was not familiar with the credit union, so figured they had the wrong number -- but they kept sending the message (glad I have unlimited texting or I'd be really mad). DH was not familiar with this credit union either. So if you get a call or a text message from a bogus credit union or bank, the news folks said don't respond -- and as always they ended the report with never give any personal info out over the phone (or when texting).

JR, is there a pause button, either in the software or on the turntable which allows you to stop between tracks? That's how we make individual tracks when we transfer from LP to CD. Or you can just stop the software recording software at the end of each track and place the needle down on the next track when you're ready to begin again. OR, you can make one long track and usually you can see where the track breaks are and you can cut and paste saving each track as a separate mp3 or wave and then burning the entire collection onto a CD

Thanks DR BEN, I am investigating the software I use to see....I am sure there is a way to do it, I was being very lazy when I tried it......
When I convert LPs to MP3s, I always make one long track of each album side. I've found that the various recording software that I've used couldn't be completely trusted to make the track breaks correctly. I just make the one long track and then edit it into the smaller tracks.
One problem that I've yet to solve is how to keep the track encoding included on the tracks that I burn to CD. I go to the trouble to load each track with all the info I can (song title, artist, recording title, etc) but once I burn the CD it's all gone--all that shows up when the CD is played is track 01, track 02, etc... Anyone have any ideas on that?

Actually, both BK and I should and do find that title "amusant". Mainly because Ryan was in What If?.
I have yet to see his show even though he's done it a number of times here in NYC already. Each time he remounts it, I seem to be out of town. It's really sort of strange, in that strange-repeating-coincidence sort of way.

I did not like Mr Raftery in some of the numbers of WHAT IF.....
But I would imagine if Mr Raftery was onstage with any NUMBER of other performers, he would be doing a SOLO.

Here's a print version:
Christian Bale's F-Word-Laced Verbal Tirade Caught on Tape (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,487205,00.html)
...
“I want you off the [expletive] set, you [expletive],” the man whose voice is believed to be Bale’s says.
After Hurbut apologizes, Bale reportedly shouts “No, don’t just be sorry. Think for one [expletive] second. What the [expletive] are you doing? Are you a professional or not?”
As Hurlbut responds calmly, Bale only seems to grow more angry.
“Am I gonna [expletive] rip your lights down in the middle of the scene? Then why the [expletive] are you walking right through ‘Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh’ in the background,” Bale allegedly says. “What the [expletive] is with you? What the [expletive] don’t you understand?”
Hurlbut reportedly apologized several times, assuring the actor – who allegedly attempted to involve the director McG in the altercation – that he meant no harm by the mistake.
After Bale reportedly calmed down and prepared to finish the scene, he allegedly became enraged again when Hurlbut attempted to apologize another time.
Reportedly threatening to beat Hurlbut up, Bale allegedly continues on to say: “You do it one more [expletive] time and I ain’t walking on the set if you’re still hired.
You’re a nice guy, but that won’t [expletive] cut it when you’re bull[expletive] and [expletive] around on set … Seriously, you and me man, we’re [expletive] done professionally,” Bale reportedly finishes before the tape ends.
...

However, he was quite happy and excited when he found out that some of his "portraits" will be incorporated into MoMA's redesign of their website(!!). :) :) :)
Holy Cow and Wow! Very cool news! Congrats to a new star!
(Make sure he doesn't sign anything without you reading it first...)
Well... It's not really that big a deal. Basically, MoMA is going to start incorporating some photos taken in and of the museum by various museum-goers into their new website. MoMA is pulling photos from their official photo pool on Flickr - of which I am a member. Monkey will not be alone in that respect. However, I think he will be the only Monkey at MoMA.
In any case... It is very cool. And, needless to say, I'm a bit excited too. :)

DR MATTHEW I have the OCR for INNER CITY...... I haven't hooked up my turntable to my computer since the last crash, so I am not sure it still works.....but if you want a copy, I can try it later tonight.
I still owe DR ELMORE a Dorothy Provine/Joe Carr LP recording.
My problem is that I don't know how to add track breaks....so each side is ONE LONG track....but we shall see what we shall see!
JR, is there a pause button, either in the software or on the turntable which allows you to stop between tracks? That's how we make individual tracks when we transfer from LP to CD. Or you can just stop the software recording software at the end of each track and place the needle down on the next track when you're ready to begin again. OR, you can make one long track and usually you can see where the track breaks are and you can cut and paste saving each track as a separate mp3 or wave and then burning the entire collection onto a CD
Thanks DR BEN, I am investigating the software I use to see....I am sure there is a way to do it, I was being very lazy when I tried it......
When I convert LPs to MP3s, I always make one long track of each album side. I've found that the various recording software that I've used couldn't be completely trusted to make the track breaks correctly. I just make the one long track and then edit it into the smaller tracks.
One problem that I've yet to solve is how to keep the track encoding included on the tracks that I burn to CD. I go to the trouble to load each track with all the info I can (song title, artist, recording title, etc) but once I burn the CD it's all gone--all that shows up when the CD is played is track 01, track 02, etc... Anyone have any ideas on that?
I (we) have yet to solve that problem either. I don't know what to do about it.

Isn't his 15 minutes long over? I can't believe the GOP is still showcasing this idiot!
It isn't the GOP that is showcasing the guy. Some organization called the Conservative Working Group is doing the showcasing. Only an idiot would confuse the CWG with the GOP.
The article says the CWG is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who gather to plot GOP strategy...close enough for me. If the GOP is taking advice from Joe the Plumber, one can plainly see how irrelevant they've become and how they continue to not get it. The future of the party does not lie with cretins like Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin. To embrace them will only continue to marginalize the party.
The CWG is a faction within the GOP. They do not represent the party as a whole. Indeed, the only way the CWG is able to get any attention is by hawking a celebrity - if they didn't have JtP coming to their meeting (and you can bet they're paying him to come), no one outside their membership would even take note that a meeting was going on.
Further, that whole "plot GOP strategy" doesn't mean they're running the party. It means they're plotting how they're going to try to run the party. Not the same thing at all.
No one said they were running the party. But the problem is the Party spends far too much time pandering to the fringe elements of their party rather than the moderate, mainstream voices that actually still know what the core principles of the Party are. As long as they keep listening to the Palins, Plumbers, Limbaughs, one-issue, rigid religious whack-os, and anti-intellectual, uneducated rubes, they're going to get nowhere.
You do realize that the new Chairman of the GOP is Michael Steele, right?
Joe the Plumber is a publicity stunt. Steele is a highly educated moderate. Steele trumps the lead pipe any day.
When Mr. Steele compares stem cell research to Nazi experiments, you wonder how moderate he is. Also when he states the main problem with the Republicans is their marketing rather than their ideas, you wonder just how effective he'll be moving intransigent far right conservatives in the party toward the middle.
Look, I wish the Republican Party would return to its core values of fiscal conservativism and less government intrusion into our daily lives; it would be nice to have a reasoned, legitimate choice again at election time...but until they abandon The Religious Right, the anti-intelligence faction; the anti-science faction; the knee-jerk patriots; the financially rapacious, those who want to impose their own narrow moral views upon us, and those who favour shredding our constitution and rolling back our civil liberties, I'll be voting anything but Republican.

Clouds have moved into our skies, so we might very well get some rain in a little while. No snow, I don't think. Doesn't seem cold enough for that.
-
I watched last night's THE CLOSER while I ate lunch.
First off, I wasn't fooled for one second concerning the first big reveal. I knew the moment the door was opened what was going on. Now, later on, the diamond business was a bit of a surprise, but I thought it was a little convenient how they managed to catch the guy.
Don't misunderstand. It was a very entertaining episode, but not every surprise was as huge as I think each was meant to be.
-
Next I watched SIMON OF THE DESERT, a rather haunting and beautifully filmed tale of faith and temptation with Buñuel's legendary atheism at its core.
-
The bonus features were very interesting. There was a one hour documentary on his Mexican films with lots of excerpts from them (many of which I've never seen and hope to one day).
There was also an interview with Silvia Pinal about her participation in the movie (she plays Satan in various guises). Very interesting story about how the movie ended up being only 45 minutes.
-
With less than an hour left of my afternoon, I watched an episode of HONEY WEST. An incredibly young Wayne Rogers was the primary guest star.
-
And, of course, I skimmed through AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing of interest to me and nothing in the previews.
-
So, I will be able to watch last night's HEROES tonight at some point. I think I'll watch THE OTHER BOELYN GIRL from Starz-HD since I need to get that off the DVR, too. Then, I'll play catch-up with tonight's Hollywood round of IDOL.
-
Hmmm...has Monkey been to Splash yet?
Oooh, Monkey doing Don't Cry for Me Argentina. I'd love to see that.

It's been a bad week for DVD viewing here:
Quantum of Solace
Zoolander

We at least managed to get to the end of the first one - just to see if there was any story line amid the effects.
All in all - three movies that were pointless.
I must remember to avoid and Stiller or Sandler movies - no matter who recommends them or provides them. SO BAD and NOT funny in any way.
I'm looking forward to "Milk" and "The Diving Bell & The Butterfly" which await viewing.

CALIGULA - Actually I rather enjoy the film.

Someone who shall remain nameless who appeared in CALIGULA sent me a very funny email telling me my review was vastly more entertaining than the film. ;)
Well, I suppose if you're an extra who got the gig because you're sleeping with Bob Guccione, anything would be more entertaining.
Those PENTHOUSE pets were sleeping with a lot more folk than Bob Guccione, according to the book on the making of CALIGULA! We sold it at Drama Book Shop. ULTIMATE PORNO was the title.
Hmmmm... Let's do the math...
Bob Guccione = one man, limited time, has a day job. Penthouse sluts floozies models = multiple women, loads more time available, nothing else to do.
Of course they slept with more folk! Poor Bob was just one guy! Give 'im a break!

So, no one has mentioned that the long-awaited dvd of YENTL has arrived. . . . .
It just ended up in my review queue this morning, so I'll probably get it by week's end. I must say, I don't hate the film as much as some here seem to, and I actually quite like the score.
I like the movie YENTL, but then I like Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Bernadette Peters, and several other performers that seem to be fair-game for snide comments.

Ugh, LENTL! And she was so sure that turkey would get her a best directing Oscar. I still remember the brouhaha when she wasn't nominated. It might have been a good movie in someone else's hands. I love what I've read by Isaac Bashevis Singer. His wonderful play TEIBELE AND HER DEMON was one of the most beautiful flops I've ever seen: great cast, direction, design, music, and the critics killed it.

My favourite scene in Yentl is still the Charles Bridge in Prague. I don't hate the movie at all but it could have been so much better.

Well maybe that's because it has been available for about 4 years here.
Yes, but not THE DIRECTOR'S CUT with commentary, rehearsal footage, etc., etc. :)
Not to mention the ELEVEN deleted scenes.

I like all them ladies, too, DR TCB. I'll even add Patti LuPone and Donna Murphy to the mix. I think they're all diva-licious!
-
DR JMK - a long ago reference, but we had eight Rainbow Lorikeets feeding here today. That is not usual for them to be on the seed bowls. We also had 13 King parrots earlier - new families!
As it happens I don't have my camera here. I take a few things to my sister's house for the worst weeks of the bushfire season. We've already had fires in the area - and some still burning.
New families of King parrots & no camera :(
VIBES THERE ARE NOT ANY BUSHFIRES!!!!
MAY YOU & THE BIRDS BE SAFE!!!

I'd still much rather listen to Bernadette's "Gypsy" than Patti's. OK I can listen to Bernadette's right through. I could not get past "Some People" on the other.
I tend to like Bernadette's work (but I've not seen her live) but think she was so "Wrong" in some roles - but I guess work is work.
(I still prefer Angela's version of "Gypsy". Bette's is OK. I still find that Bette is too aware of the camera in her films - as is Renee Z).
Babs can be Brilliant. Back to Broadway was fine. Back to Basics (without David Foster) would have been better!
It's all value judgements of course. Some people (Gypsy again) find Adam Sandler amusing!

Isn't his 15 minutes long over? I can't believe the GOP is still showcasing this idiot!
It isn't the GOP that is showcasing the guy. Some organization called the Conservative Working Group is doing the showcasing. Only an idiot would confuse the CWG with the GOP.
The article says the CWG is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who gather to plot GOP strategy...close enough for me. If the GOP is taking advice from Joe the Plumber, one can plainly see how irrelevant they've become and how they continue to not get it. The future of the party does not lie with cretins like Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin. To embrace them will only continue to marginalize the party.
The CWG is a faction within the GOP. They do not represent the party as a whole. Indeed, the only way the CWG is able to get any attention is by hawking a celebrity - if they didn't have JtP coming to their meeting (and you can bet they're paying him to come), no one outside their membership would even take note that a meeting was going on.
Further, that whole "plot GOP strategy" doesn't mean they're running the party. It means they're plotting how they're going to try to run the party. Not the same thing at all.
No one said they were running the party. But the problem is the Party spends far too much time pandering to the fringe elements of their party rather than the moderate, mainstream voices that actually still know what the core principles of the Party are. As long as they keep listening to the Palins, Plumbers, Limbaughs, one-issue, rigid religious whack-os, and anti-intellectual, uneducated rubes, they're going to get nowhere.
You do realize that the new Chairman of the GOP is Michael Steele, right?
Joe the Plumber is a publicity stunt. Steele is a highly educated moderate. Steele trumps the lead pipe any day.
When Mr. Steele compares stem cell research to Nazi experiments, you wonder how moderate he is. Also when he states the main problem with the Republicans is their marketing rather than their ideas, you wonder just how effective he'll be moving intransigent far right conservatives in the party toward the middle.

Interesting allegations, Pogue. Could you provide us with the actual quotations, where he said what you are claiming he said?

Thank you DR Jane.
We are less stressed this year with no dogs. I've also reached the stage where I know "things" can be replaced. Would I really wish to to replace all these CDs and DVDs?
I did pack Larry's favourite conductor's "Showboat" and a few collections by Sondheim etc.

I watched last night's THE CLOSER while I ate lunch.
First off, I wasn't fooled for one second concerning the first big reveal. I knew the moment the door was opened what was going on.
Some of us have a more "practiced" eye in detecting such subterfuges. For the regular viewer the last thing to cross their mind might be the first to cross ours.

It was the first thing Keith said. ;D
I'm having this vision....DR Jane is online at HHW.com and reads posts aloud to DH Keith. DH Keith, on occasion, remarks to what has been said. DR Jane, on occasion, passes along said remark.
:D
;D A common occurrence, though often the HHW comments are lost in translation ;). Neither have anything to do with Keith's quick catch last night. Where he acquired that skill I have no idea, he just seems to have it. :-\ ;D

Has Judy Kaye ever played Rose? Was she good? Or would she be good?
-
It's been a bad week for DVD viewing here:
Quantum of Solace
Zoolander
You Don't Mess With Zohan
We at least managed to get to the end of the first one - just to see if there was any story line amid the effects.
All in all - three movies that were pointless.
I must remember to avoid and Stiller or Sandler movies - no matter who recommends them or provides them. SO BAD and NOT funny in any way.
I'm looking forward to "Milk" and "The Diving Bell & The Butterfly" which await viewing.
NetFlix show Solace releasing in March.
We are Adam Sandler fans, and while not a great movie we did laugh a lot during "You Don't Mess With Zohan"

all sorts of previous posts
Yes...."this" kind of dogmatic quackery coming from a representative of the party that gave us the Third Reichian "Homeland Security Agency".

Callie had a blood check this morning. All her levels were normal. My cat sitter said "Isn't it remarkable how quickly she recovered once you switched vets?" anyway, we're going to try to wean her off the prednisolone now. Hope that works out.

CALIGULA - Actually I rather enjoy the film.
And speaking of sleaze; that book HOLLYWOOD BABYLON, It's Back (not to be confused with Kenneth Anger's original) is probably one of the sleaziest books I have ever read. I end up taking a shower after every chapter, just to wash the filth off.

thanks Jane. She's never been healthier and has gained 2 pounds! She's been healthy for quite a while now,. so I figure it's a good time to try to get her off the prednisolone. The cat sitter can give her the lactulose, so if I can get her off the pills, I won't have to limit all my vacations so she isn't off her meds too long.
-
I suspect BAFA are using Zohan as an example of how low American film making has fallen. lol (I did get the disc from the same source but there was no "for your Consideration" line).
I did watch a new (to us) UK sit com "Lead Balloon" last night. The Brits don't always get it right.
I'm also looking forward to watching "The Lives Of Others". (It's only taken me two years to catch up with this one)

I hope it works. I'm sure you will be going as slowly as possible with those little pills. If it doesn't work there is a possibility of giving an injection before you travel. There was no way I could give Bosco a pill on a regular basis. Instead she received a shot of prednisolone which lasted several months. I think you could get one to last for a couple of weeks instead.

BK probably remembers my writing a series of columns for another website, called "Track By Track," one of which was a comparison of the various Gypsy recordings. Yes, I dared to compare Merman, Lansbury, Daly and Midler.
To think that, since that time, there have already been two Broadway revivals... sheesh!
I went through Gypsy burnout back then. I don't think I even want to hear Peters or LuPone. Enough is quite enough.

yes, we have a schedule and I'll follow it. it will take 24 days to wean her off of them. I have a feeling she'll be fine. She's so much stronger

Interesting allegations, Pogue. Could you provide us with the actual quotations, where he said what you are claiming he said?
[/quote]
From GAZETTE.NET, Maryland Community Newspapers online...Friday, Feb. 10th, 2006:
"Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, under heavy criticism from Jewish leaders and a key Democratic opponent in the race for US Senate, apologized Friday for comparing embryonic stem cell research to Nazi experiments during the Holocaust."
I don't expect he'd be apologizing for it, if he hadn't said it. But it's just one of many disturbing facts about him I've read over the last few days. Isn't he the guy who, in the same campaign, tried to give the impression to voters he was a Democrat? I've also seen him on several news shows in the past. He comes across to me as just another dodge, evade, and spin-doctor apologist for the Republican party.
-
Cilla, 24 days! I'm very impressed & obviously your new doctor is on the ball. Again, best of luck you can get her off of it & she continues to be healthy.
-
Pogue provides proof. Will it matter? Absolutely not. Which I find both amusing and distressing, but having been down that road and having been proven right time and again with no apologies from those accusing of being wrong, I expect it.
-
This day was busier than yesterday. It just never stopped, save for a pizza break at Dino's. I really don't know how many pages I've written but it's not enough - I think I did five altogether, and will definitely do two more for sure - won't do less than seven this week, because I'm "taking it home" as they say in show business.

I ask you for a direct quote, and you cannot give one.
Try this, from the same article you are referencing, atGazetteNet.com (http://www.gazette.net/stories/021006/montsta130223_31925.shtml):
Specifically, what Steel said was:
‘‘You of all folks know what happens when people decide they want to experiment on human beings, when they want to take your life and use it as a tool,” Steele told the group, according to news reports. ‘‘I know that as well in my community, out of our experience with slavery, and so I’m very cautious when people say this is the best new thing, this is going to save lives.”
Is the word Holocost anywhere in that quote? The word Nazi?
It was Steele's opponent in the Senate race, Benjamin Cardin, who used the word Holocost:
‘‘He doesn’t have the right to compare ... stem cell research to the barbarity of the Holocaust,” Benjamin Cardin said.]‘‘He doesn’t have the right to compare ... stem cell research to the barbarity of the Holocaust,” Benjamin Cardin said.
Cardin, for the benefit of his campaign, took offence where none was intended, forcing the "appology". Cardin was the one doing the spinning. If you had included more than the lead paragraph, this would have been obvious.

Thanks. I'm hoping so too. This is the first time I've been this confident about her health
-
But have you provided the whole quote? Right before your quoted passage in the same article is :
"He compared science involved in embryonic stem cell research to Nazi experiments on Jews during World War II."
But whether there is more to the quote or not, we get the veiled allusion in it. Typical political double-speak...We will imply our racism without outright mentioning it; we will imply our homophobia without outright mentioning it; we will accuse people of being terrorists and unpatriotic and un-American without ever coming right out and saying it. We will speak in thinly veiled code so that all you racists, homophobes, bigots, religious facists, and even the stupidiest of you uneducated rubes, will get the "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" and be in our snide assertions which we can easily disavow. We all know how that game is played.
And once again, he was the one apologizing for his remarks. If he felt he had spoken clearly enough that such a comparison shouldn't have been made, he wouldn't have apologize. But we know how that game is played too.
But Michael Steele is irrelevant, as most party chairs are...His missteps merely echo the more damning postures of the Bushes, Cheneys, Rumsfelts and all the Boehners and McConnells and myriad lackeys that followed in lockstep the last eight years and allowed everything that made this country great to be dismantled. There is nothing admirable about party loyalty when your party is wrong.
To quote author Terry Pratchett: "You can't do bad things and call yourselves the good guys."

Good Evening!
I liked The Story of My Life. And I hope to like it even more the next time I see it.
*DR td - Jim Stanek is Malcolm Gets' understudy.
-
I didn't order YENTL. I saw the film when it came out and reviewed it, but I've never been anxious to own a copy of it. I played the soundtrack LP a few times but have never upgraded to the CD because I just like the score without loving it.
-
We did get rain finally. And it's cold outside, baby. (Kind of a Frank Loesser reference).
-
It was kind of eerie when I got out of the subway. There was no one on the streets. And with all the dark theatres right now along 44th and 45th streets... The St. James, The Hirshfeld, The Shubert, etc. -Although, the new artwork is up for Blithe Spirit already... :-\
Of course, it wasn't until I left The Booth - and saw lots of "stage-dooring" going on that I remembered that every other show that was running tonight had 7:00 curtains. Oh, that's right! ;)
-
I began my evening watching THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL. Had a few good moments, but too much was squeezed into the film so shortcuts had to be made. Certainly was beautiful to look at in high def.
Eric Bana filled King Henry's robes BEAUTIFULLY.

Wow, so much to catch up on!

Happy happy happy belated birthday to Amy!!!

Congrats to Monkey!

I loved Teibele and her Demon.

Next, I watched the first Hollywood round on AMERICAN IDOL. There was a lot of the usual nonsense: not enough of people singing and too much of the dramatics, the male judges putting through semi-talented women because they're flirts, etc.
To be honest, I didn't hear many songs that I liked at all.
-
And I concluded my evening with last night's HEROES. Yes, it did get the season off to a good start. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here. I love SYLAR! He alone could fight off the "bad guys." Nice to see Zjelko Ivanek on the show, too.
-
My work project for tomorrow will be Spike Lee's MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA on Blu-ray. (Unless MADAGASCAR 2 arrives. It comes out on Sunday so it get priority.)
-
Me Three!! Four!! Five!!!! -In regards to Better Midler, Bernadette Peters, Barbra Streisand, etc.
*And as for Ms. LuPone, I've always liked her better in person than on record. -Although, the American OCR of Evita is still one of my regular listens.
-
I loved Teibele and her Demon.
Me too. Well, the production that my college mounted a few years ago.
-
I had a couple glasses of wine with Pam - the lawyer with the jury out -tonight. So, I didn't get the basement ready for the carpet layers. that means I'll be getting up early and moving stuff. they aren't going to arrive until 9:00 or 10:00 so that should be fine

It really has been so hot here. Kangaroos in the surf... and ...

Heading downstairs now so I can go to bed.

Here's a print version:
Christian Bale's F-Word-Laced Verbal Tirade Caught on Tape (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,487205,00.html)
...
“I want you off the [expletive] set, you [expletive],” the man whose voice is believed to be Bale’s says.
After Hurbut apologizes, Bale reportedly shouts “No, don’t just be sorry. Think for one [expletive] second. What the [expletive] are you doing? Are you a professional or not?”
As Hurlbut responds calmly, Bale only seems to grow more angry.
“Am I gonna [expletive] rip your lights down in the middle of the scene? Then why the [expletive] are you walking right through ‘Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh’ in the background,” Bale allegedly says. “What the [expletive] is with you? What the [expletive] don’t you understand?”
Hurlbut reportedly apologized several times, assuring the actor – who allegedly attempted to involve the director McG in the altercation – that he meant no harm by the mistake.
After Bale reportedly calmed down and prepared to finish the scene, he allegedly became enraged again when Hurlbut attempted to apologize another time.
Reportedly threatening to beat Hurlbut up, Bale allegedly continues on to say: “You do it one more [expletive] time and I ain’t walking on the set if you’re still hired.
You’re a nice guy, but that won’t [expletive] cut it when you’re bull[expletive] and [expletive] around on set … Seriously, you and me man, we’re [expletive] done professionally,” Bale reportedly finishes before the tape ends.
...
Well, nothing here DR Laura can put in the Bulletin.

Tomorrow I'll have the lastest on the multiplication of unseemly cancer cells. Not knowing is often the worst part.
DRs who are current and ex-library workers will be pleased to know I joined the library today. Of course they had nothing there I wished to borrow! I was so spoilt having a School Library with librarians willing to recommend books. (some without illustrations too).

I just went to the theatre down the street (the one that won the Tony a year or two ago) to see a new version of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR---a gospel version. Greg knows that I like the show and have gone to many productions of it. Since it was my birthday, he humored me by going along.
It was a fantastic production in every sense of the word, and Greg said he thought it stood up to anything he'd ever seen in NY. Obviously the scale was smaller than a NY production, but there were about 55 people on stage and we knew some of the musicians and singers. This has been developed here with mostly Atlanta talent and should be going on a world tour in the future. Very exciting!

I've just finished 9 novels by Seattle writer Robin Hobb. I'm looking forward to some book by Terry Books and the like. I've put in a request for two by P V Jones which the local library will obtain from eslewhere.
If anyone is interested in supporting another first time writer, Mr Elusive Butterfly - Bob Lind's book "East Of The Holyland" is out there looking for readers. Unfortunately the cost of postage from the US of A means I miss out on so much. DVDs and Cds are bad enough. (I usually am paying at least double the list price to have things mailed here)
-
I kept wondering if DR Jose/Larry/Fred knew any of the cast and crew, since some came from NY.
-
Thank you friends.
(I've never been a fan of the music from nor the productions I've see of JCS). Godspell for me is so much better.

Now I'm going to snuggle in and get warm. Thank you all for making my birthday a wonderful one! I <heart> you all!

I think this production could change your mind. The music is VERY different!

So, no one has mentioned that the long-awaited dvd of YENTL has arrived. . . . .
Mine has been shipped, but I haven't received it yet.

Has Judy Kaye ever played Rose? Was she good? Or would she be good?
Judy Kaye did Rose in Seattle. . .she's a great listen, one of those performances I wish I could see.
I saw her in Follies in Seattle as Sally and she was phenominal!

DRs who are current and ex-library workers will be pleased to know I joined the library today. Of course they had nothing there I wished to borrow! I was so spoilt having a School Library with librarians willing to recommend books. (some without illustrations too).
Congrats, Tomovoz! ;D

Tomorrow I'll have the lastest on the multiplication of unseemly cancer cells. Not knowing is often the worst part.
~~~Vibes for DR Tomovoz!!~~~

Thank you DR George.
Now get your library to buy Mr Lind's Book!

Have they left out all the ALW music then!
-
(I don't dislike all ALW's music. I like Evita, Joseph and Tell Me On A Sunday and Variations)

Thank you DR George.
Now get your library to buy Mr Lind's Book!
We don't have it. I'll put in a request.

And now, I must leave. I'm still at work because our five-county, 27-branch library district went for a levy-lid lift to try and increase our taxing revenue to what it should be...50¢/$1000 of property value. A Washington state initiative from several years ago prevents tax increases of more than 1% without a public vote, so we're now actually down to something like 34¢/$1000 of property value. The vote was today and we just found out that it failed. From what I understand, we're fine (financially) for 2009, but some things will have to happen for 2010 and beyond. I don't know if it'll mean a reduction-in-force, but you never know. :-\
-
And to all, a good night.

But before I go, since we're so close...

PAGE 15 DANCE!

Thanks George.
Bob seems like a nice guy. He takes the time to stay in touch with his fans from way back when.

But Michael Steele is irrelevant, as most party chairs are...
Perhaps to you, but his job is rebuilding the party organization is very relevant to those of us who are active party members. His main mission is to gather support for the State party organizations so they can start the job of retaking the Congress, one seat at a time.
His task is not to move intransigent far right conservatives toward the middle, but rather to energize the middle to right the balance. Democrat incumbants will most likely be vulnerable in 2010, the task ahead is to challenge them with moderates who can win. Both Parties are saddled with fringe elements on their flanks - Obama is already being taken to the woodshed by radical Democrats because they feel he has already moved too far center - he has dared to attempt to govern just as he promised he would.

What a lovely day of postings we've had.
-
I took a nice long shower, got a good idea, and then wrote another page. So that was nine pages today. Whew.
-
I have returned. Briefly.
-
I finished a return, not so briefly.
-
I bet Cillaliz will return to finish a brief.
-
So who returned their briefs at the finish?

I'm listening to a funky soundtrack by Piero Piccioni from a Lina Wertmuller film.
