Does the soundtrack pf The Americanization of Emily include the song Emily? I know they didn't use it in the film and wondering if it was recorded before it was dropped. (It's still given a credit in the opening titles)

OPEN TO ALL
Does anyone know what was the first film to be rated via the current MPAA rating system. At that time they were given the letters G, M, R, X
M for mature which was later change to GP which was then flipped to PG. X was changed to NC-17 as X became associated with pornography and was the only rating that could be self imposed.

Weather takes a turn back toward the "norm" for us today as the skies clear and things get a few days, at least, to dry. I hope the forecasts for weekend rain are true.

High school play canceled over possible objections to gay content
Drama teacher at a Newport Beach high school says the principal shut down his production of 'Rent' because of its gay characters. District officials say the principal only asked to read the script.
…
Now, amid growing backlash and consternation from some students and members of the gay community, the actors at Corona del Mar High are grudgingly preparing for a very different show: "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." The drama teacher said it's a safer choice and one sure to pass muster with his boss.
Now I guess PETA will complain that Charlie Brown stigmatizes dogs.

As for "AI" and Tatiana - No one I know likes her at all - especially after how she was "featured" during the prelims, so I'm hoping that the rest of the "American Public" doesn't like her either. However, there's always one of those Judge-chosen wildcard slots. -And since she's from Puerto Rico, she may have an edge due to the fact that Puerto Ricans do a lot of texting - a lot! Well, at least my sister-in-law does. ;)

And as far as Tatiana looking "sedated" - I think she was trying too hard to be adult and non-bubbly. -She probably watched her footage from the past few weeks. ;)

OK - Well, time for me to head into town for a bit. I'll be brunching/lunching with (FDR) Jason.

We'll see.. I may have a brief rehearsal session this afternoon, so, it's all sort of TBD. -As opposed to DR TD. In any case... Gotta run...

It's not the food (or food type) photo, DR DAW. Rather, after five more people post similar photos today (not including all the re-posts of the photos in replies to the original), three or four post more tomorrow (ditto on the reposts with replies), and then in three days, someone catching up will have been compelled to also post a similar photo, THEN it will be very OLD, indeed!

While it's true that I don't have a 9-5 job with a regular paycheck, I really do feel that the reviewing job I have IS work. True, I can do it in the comfort of my own home (just like many writers have the privilege of doing), and I do set for myself "office hours" which correspond to work hours for my many reviewing projects. I feel the responsibility and deadlines for my job just like I did when I was teaching, to be honest. So, while I have much more freedom than a button-down job where I have to leave home on a regular basis, I really don'y feel I'm on any kind of hiatus. (But I sure did before I took this reviewing post.)

Brunch/lunch with Jason was lots of fun. We haven't seen each other since Thanksgiving, so it was nice to catch up in person rather than via IM/chat. He's doing well, and still dealing with a crazy schedule work-wise and audition-wise.
After brunch, I walked by The Ziegfeld since I noticed that they were showing "Coraline". However, once I saw that the ticket price was $15.50(!?!?!), I just kept on walking along 54th to MoMA. *At least the sign at the box office says that they are charging for the 3-D glasses. -But since I can see "The Searchers" for free, well... -Should I see "The Searchers"?

I would think how one "tweets" is a personal and private matter.

What a sensible way to do it, DR JRand58!!!! Congratulations on your purchase.
I have my fingers crossed, learning APPLE at my own speed will be helpful....and I can just alternate my High Speed Internet between the two systems for awhile.
DR JRand - There a couple of PC->Apple tutorials available via/on www.apple.com. Very helpful especially in regards to keyboard and keystroke equivalents.

Hmmm.. Still a bit of time before "The Searchers" begins... Still not sure if I really want to see it. -Well, I do want to see it, but not sure I want to sit for two hours since I'll be sitting again tonight. Hmm... ???

NEWSWEEK (http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/undergod/2009/02/an_advocate_for_atheists_in_ar.html)
…the Arkansas House passed a bill Wednesday allowing people to bring their guns to church.
"Due to many shootings that have happened in our churches across our nation, it is time we changed our concealed handgun law to allow law-abiding citizens of the state of Arkansas the right to defend themselves and others should a situation happen in one of our churches," said state Rep. Beverly Pyle.
Gee - what are the odds that CA and the Bay Area will follow suit?

Hello all. Our computer crashed Friday night and it took Vixdad until late last night to get it up and running again. He says it's stillnot 100% and he may have to tear it down and do it over so if I disappear again that's probably why.
Good to know! You could call someone when it happens again, ya know! We worry!
Except I cannot talk, so I can't use the phone. I suppose I should have had the Vixter call someone - sorry!!

Back from a wonderful walk around part of Lake Merritt. It was my first walk of the new year...and the first time I either wasn't too sick to walk, on jury duty or couldn't walk and not get soaked in the rain.
I plan on doing a lot more walking as long as the weather is good.

I understand that Paige O'Hara has turned out to be the McGlinn executrix and that everything has been left to the Library of Congress. That's what a trek to Toyland can do for you!

And, yes, DR elmore and I will be heading to the theatre tonight. To The Booth for The Story of My Life.
My favorite NYC story. I was walking back to the Milford Plaza down 45 Street. There was a man and a woman and their two kids ahead of me. The one kid, about eight years old, kept asking his mother what this was and what that was. When they walked past the Booth, he asked his usual questions. His mother said, "That's the Booth Theatre. That is where they shot Abraham Lincoln."

You must have gotten those $600 frames just like Sarah Palin! My optician told me they are very popular.

I concur with DR Jose in regards to THE SEARCHERS; it's such a great film and has a cast that can't be beat! Lana AND Natalie Wood, Vera Miles, Jeffrey Hunter and John Wayne. Great storytelling, too. Wayne's Ethan is probably my favorite of his film characterizations - and I think it's a very brave performance - that Wayne at the top of his game would play such a not-altogether sympathetic man still astounds me.

But my new progressive lenses cost $530 for just the lenses. I paid an extra $100 for a digital lens, and I must say that I can see more more clearly.

I had such a carefree leisurely afternoon watching wonderful things. I began by finishing up with last night's AMERICAN IDOL. I did indeed have three singers left. The black guy was forgettable and "pitchy" though had some pretty good tone. Tatiana was miserably mediocre; not my cup of tea at all, but apart from the first girl, probably the best of the ladies last night (which isn't saying much; they were all forgettable). The last fellow, who got big play during the Hollywood round, is a very good singer, and kudos to him for singing over a nasty frog in his throat. I still think Braddy sang better and was definitely my favorite of the evening. Both of them SHOULD go through if there's any justice, but, of course, we know that IDOL isn't always about the singing only.
-
LEVERAGE had a fabulous episode last night, filled with a great caper and some shocking twists which just MADE the episode one of the best in the entire first season. Can't wait to see the wrap-up next week.
-
I loved HEROES this week, too, more than DR Ron Pulliam, I think. Loved all of the storylines (even Hiro's for a change), and was especially thrilled to see Sylar do what he did.
-
I decided I'd make this afternoon about TV, so I watched another MOONLIGHT episode. This is the one that started the story arc with Coraline. Not my favorite story arc of the season, but certainly that first one was perplexing until the final reveal.
-
I pulled last season's NCIS off the shelf and watched the episode about the dog who was accused of killing a marine and Abby's attempts to save the dog from being put down.
-
I ended my afternoon by skimming through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing of interest though the boys are in the previews for tomorrow's show.
-
So far, I have not received any review copies today either, so tomorrow also looks like a holiday unless something comes in the late afternoon UPS delivery.

When I go back down, I'll be watching GHOST on Blu-ray disc.

Good Afternoon, once again!
Yes, I really liked "The Searchers" - even with the guy next to me texting every now and then throughout. However, at least he finally placed his Blackberry under his jacket... After I "whispered" to him that it was too bright. And there was also the woman who came in ten minutes late, then proceeded to eat some sort of curry-infused food item that was wrapped in a crinkly wrapper. :-\ In any case...
I'm not sure if MoMA showed a new print since the color was sort of faded and brown'd, and there specks and such, but all those "artifacts" in no way affected my overall impession of the movie. It has been years since I've seen a "Western", and I think because everything in and of the movie was so new to me, I truly felt like I had "escaped from the real world" for 119 minutes. Even the "technology" of the movie fascinated me - no CGI'd anything. I even accepted those moments where it went from a painted backdrop to the Great Outdoors. Stunning and beautiful. *And since I'm a member of MoMA, the ticket price was $0.00. :)

DR JMK - Yes, I did catch today's "Non Sequitor". ;)

Every time DR Elmoore mentions he if off to TOYLAND I now think about the TOYLAND that is nominated for and Academy Award for Live Action Short Film. His TOYLAND and the TOYLAND in the film have absolutely nothing in common. The film is in German and whos title is Spielzeugland
But if I was voting for the Academy Awards I would vote for these films over the other 4 nominees.
Excellent story telling in 13 minutes and it landed an emotional wallop. I was crying during the film and when I tried to tell a friend about the film two days later I cried again.

Well, this may turn out to be a very expensive year (on top of Gabe's Bar Mitzvah, which is not going to be cheap, people): ;)
1. We may opt to get a new roof after all, even though we probably have 3-4 years on this one. With most repair bids coming in close to 1,000, I just can't see plopping down that much and then spending another 5K in a few years. There's also dry rot repair to take care of which will be additional.
1(a). Our chimney needs tuck pointing at least, perhaps a partial/total rebuild.
2. I have a plumber coming on Monday to take care of a bunch of niggling little stuff that I just don't have time to get to. That's probably $200 easy.
3. A carpenter is coming to give us a quote on Wednesday for some repair work before the family masses descend on us in late summer for the Bar Mitzvah fest. I'm estimating $1500 minimum.
Did I mention we just bought a new car?
I do accept personal checks and money orders. Thanks for your consideration. ;)

DR Laura, I'm sure there was protocol. If someone escapes, you lock down the building, so even if he isn't in the building, they would have to follow protocol and lock everyone inside. Actually, that would prevent him from getting a weapon and coming back into the building or some such nonsense.

Zach has a Facebook page. He doesn't say anything, but his activities are creative begging and making snow angels.
-
It's not really his own page. It's an adjunct accessed from my page. He has been "friended" by a dog who lives in Seattle.
OK, I am nuts.
-
DR TCB - never say "never"!
-
Love THE SEARCHERS......
"Don't ask me. For the rest of your life - don't ever ask me!"
"You didn't see Lucy. What you saw was a buck wearing Lucy's dress."
And Natalie Wood's mad dash across the sand not knowing if she will be welcomed or killed.....
"Come on, Debbie - let's go home!"
-
I kept reading the Searchers and thinking the Seekers.

Feel-better vibes to TCB

And, yes, DR elmore and I will be heading to the theatre tonight. To The Booth for The Story of My Life.
My favorite NYC story. I was walking back to the Milford Plaza down 45 Street. There was a man and a woman and their two kids ahead of me. The one kid, about eight years old, kept asking his mother what this was and what that was. When they walked past the Booth, he asked his usual questions. His mother said, "That's the Booth Theatre. That is where they shot Abraham Lincoln."
How loud was your reaction? ;D

Wow DR FJL - thanks so much!
Love The Seekers and GEORGY GIRL.....had it on the orange/yellow Capital label 45 rpm record!!!

Has anybody heard from Tomovoz lately ? Is he still alright and safe from the fires?
Before responding to your post I checked the latest news on his local fires. So far they are holding though he is not out of danger yet. The smoke is very unpleasant. Between the fires and visiting his sister, who had been back in the hospital with complications from her new hip, he has been very busy. His sister is fine now.

I'm sure you are right, Cillaliz; it just sounds funny. I wonder what Sheriff Joe will have to say about this.
Yes, it does sound funny.

Just been relaxing - did all my LACCTAA newsletter stuff and got that out of the way. Then I highlighted one script - the stage direction person's script, since I don't want him to read ALL the stage direction. Since I think we're only having one extra guy and gal, they can read all the other parts.
I now have another hour's worth of material to listen to for the film soundtrack. I've already heard what was the proposed album master, and I've heard the reel's worth of material they didn't use - mostly short cues, but some key cues, too. This new stuff are the film's music stems, which I'm hoping puts everything in film order. Then there's a reel of songs (there are three songs in the film, used in the background). After that, we have the session tapes, which are in some sort of stereo, but which should replicate everything on these stems and the album master, at least I think that's what it should do. We shall see. The living room is all set up and now I'm just going to relax until people arrive.

I'm not sure that this week, with my conflicted feelings on the death of former friend John McGlinn, was the perfect timing to see a musical about conflicted feelings over the death of a best friend, but The story of My Life was glorious, beautfully staged, acted, and designed. It was heartbreaking, funny, and there are two songs, one about a butterfly and one about a schoolteacher, that moved me to tears. Thank you, DR Jose, for the ticket!

DR Jose, the album was Philip Langridge singing "Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo" and "The Holy sonnets of john Donne," which has a connection to tonight's show.
-
I'm so glad that I got to see The Story of My Life again tonight. I liked it the first time I saw it, and I liked it even more on second viewing. -Well, I at least cried more this time. I didn't notice any cuts since the first preview, but it did seem like a tighter show. It really worked.
After the show, I headed backstage stage to see my friend, Bess, who is the Production Stage Manager for the show. -And it turns out her assistant is/was her usual assistant, Ana. It was good seeing some good friends again. -Which is what the past couple of days have seemed to be about. :)

I bought a six pack of zip drives at a bargain price, only to find out, I don't have a zip drive slot on my computer. Oh well.
Ugh! Of all things computery I've ever come across, I hated Zip drives the most. I would store something important on one and then try to use it weeks later only to hear "click! wrrrrrrrrrr... click! wrrrrrrrrrr... click! wrrrrrrrrrr... click! wrrrrrrrrrr... click! wrrrrrrrrrr... "

DR Jose, the album was Philip Langridge singing "Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo" and "The Holy sonnets of john Donne," which has a connection to tonight's show.
Ohhh... That's actually sort of spooky.
And John Donne has figured into a couple of the musical highlights of the past couple of months: Doctor Atomic, Paul Groves' recital at Carnegie's Zankel Hall, and now The Story of My Life.

Hmmmmm dancing. I will check on YOU TUBE for something. BRB.

I had a wonderfuly, teary time with GHOST. Always makes me cry, and this first time seeing it in HD was no exception. The sharper picture and Dolby TrueHD sound just enhanced the experience.

DR elmore - You're most welcome. I shall be sure to pass on your Thanks along with mine to the general manager of the show who graciously provided me with the tickets for tonight's show.
*OH! I did catch up briefly with Malcolm Gets after the show. He sends his best, wants to know how you're doing, and he knows that he owes you an email. ;)

DR td - Alas, Jim Stanek had already left by the time I got backstage. Next time...

DR JRand - I still have yet to watch tonight's episode of "Top Chef", but from the Twitter stream it looks like you could have kept on watching.
-
Next, I watched the AMERICAN IDOL results show (skimmed through it).
The guys weren't surprises though I was naturally disappointed Rickey didn't get voted through (the voters going for the more obviously showcased other guys). A small surprise with the girl getting through even though I much preferred her to Tatianna.
-
While I was waiting for more IDOL to happen (I caught up to the live show eventually), I flipped over and watched some of the "squeegee" LOST episode from last week. Nothing earthshaking revealed in the pop-ups I read, but they are entertaining.
-
Tonight's LOST was another involving episode.
I have a feeling Eloise Hawking is going to provide us with many more answers in the season and a half we have left.
-
I enjoyed LIFE ON MARS, too,
with its WIZARD OF OZ/"Over the Rainbow" scenario. Just loved Jason O'Mara's tear sliding down his face near the end.
-
During commercial breaks for LOST and LIFE ON MARS (I was watching both of them "live"), I flipped over to watch the Jerome Robbins special in HD. I'll look forward to seeing the whole thing at some point over the next few days.

I got home and read the program and my friend Lisa Shriver is the assistant director! I see that Mr Gets is doing an album with one of the wickedest queens in the business - pooey! So did you give him my email address again? He was really wonderful in the show. So was Will Chase.
-
Once again, I didn't get any review copies today (though I got the notice to start looking for the Blu-ray of BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA), so tomorrow looks to be another "free" day.

Thank you. I sent Lisa an email and I went to Facebook and sent Will a message. I couldn't find a Facebook page for Malcolm. The weird thing is, one of my best friends from college with whom I felt a lot of the friendship in the show reflected ours, sent me a friend request on Facebook today. Eerie!
-
LOL...DR JOSE.....if I change my mind....it will be on again....and again...and again....

Speaking of retirement, I am going this afternoon to be fitted for my new bifocals. It is only a short step further to social security and retirement! :)
I felt exactly the same way when I got bifocals for the first time. Never felt so old in my life.
I felt that way when I bought my present car, my first automatic transmission car. The 5 speed was over $1,000 more since no one wants to drive a 5 speed in Atlanta traffic and they would have had to import it.
-
My eyes are getting very heavy, so I'm going to head down to bed. Maybe an earlier bedtime will mean more sleep rather than simply waking up earlier tomorrow morning! Here's hoping.
Good night!

Speaking of Johnny Mandel, we're interviewing him, as well as Blake Edwards and Julie Andrews next week.

DR TCB: walking pneumonia sounds pretty serious to me. Or ANY kind of pneumonia.
I usually get it every December or January. I guess I am a late-bloomer this year. I suppose it comes from my 25 years of smoking.
It can also come from growing up in a smoking household. My sister and I don't just get colds, we get upper respiratory infections/bronchitis/pneumonia.
Anyway - feel better vibes to DR TCB!!!
Both of my parents were chain smokers and we always took long driving vacations every summer where my mother would have the AC blasting in the front seat conveniently inundating us kids with her cigarette smoke and my dad's cigar smoke. It's a wonder I'm not dead already.
Some comedian (Bill Hicks?) had a routine about this, and about how their parents would never take breaks except to gas up the car. He felt like his vacation was going to "Oxygenland", which is when he could get out of the car and breathe!
-
Wow there are some groovy clips on You Tube.
-
DR td - Alas, Jim Stanek had already left by the time I got backstage. Next time...
Well, you do manage to see quite a bit of him around town. . .maybe next time.

We had a very bad day at work. The producer friend who I started the Mercer project with was coming over to see us at the edit room because her husband was there working on the budget with my assistant.
She came in and couldn't talk and then just started crying. She had received a text message as she was pulling into the parking lost that a friend of hers had been murdered. This was a long-time friend of hers, they'd been in a book club together for over 10 years. The victim was a nationally known cancer specialist and lived in a very secure penthouse in the best part of town. My friend was reading over my shoulder after I pulled up the news story and almost collapsed when they went into the cause of death details.
No one can understand how this could happen in a place with such high security; it makes you realize that nowhere is safe. This lady was selling her penthouse to move in with her fianceé (her husband died of cancer a few years ago) so this might have been someone posing as a buyer.
Anyway, it's been a horrible day and I'm sharing this story so you can send vibes to our friend---she really needs them.
-
Vibes of health to TCB!

We did a shoot last week with Audra McDonald and John Williams playing piano while she sang "I Had Myself A True Love". Oh man, she was unbelievable! Jamie Cullum and Maude Maggart also performed. I've always liked Jamie and he was completely adorable. Wish I could have been there!
After working on the budget today I realized that I could have flown there and back first class and carried the tapes with me for cheaper than having them cloned and fed exed. Wish I would have known that earlier!

(Looking out the car window at the light rail)
Mae-Ling Goldstein: "Daddy said people were riding the light rail without any pants on. That's bad, because girls shouldn't show their vagina and boys shouldn't show their penis."

Hello all. Our computer crashed Friday night and it took Vixdad until late last night to get it up and running again. He says it's stillnot 100% and he may have to tear it down and do it over so if I disappear again that's probably why.
Good to know! You could call someone when it happens again, ya know! We worry!
Except I cannot talk, so I can't use the phone. I suppose I should have had the Vixter call someone - sorry!!
I told Keith when you don't post I normally figure you are busy or having computer problems. I said I would call if you could speak.
Are you sleeping better & gagging less?
I am actually. I think there may actually be a bit of recovery going on FINALLY! I find a can drink a bit easier these days. It hurt to swallow even water before now I can drink with very little discomfort.
Perhaps I shall be turing a corner soon I truly hope so

We lost our electricity for several hours this afternoon and I ended up dozing, since I also slept so much this morning . I had awoken after going to sleep at 9 .

I was so exhausted that I curled up and fell asleep after dinner. I was hoping to work, but there were too many thunderstorms to keep the computer plugged in. When I woke up, my DH was watching the Jerome Robbins doc. I hadn't even told him about it.
I missed the first hour. We were watching on HD, and I wanted to see how it looked on the SD channel. There, it was broadcast in a 4:3 ratio, and instead of shrinking and letterboxing it to fit into 4:3, they just cut off the sides. So, everyone's ID titles were cut off. The PBS logo covered a lot of the ID's on both. The American Masters bug just barely fit on the 4:3 version. I wish they'd get this stuff figured out. The PBS red book of standards is about as thick as a bible, so this surprised me. I am curious about the viewing experience of others....

Anybody recognize anybody in the video?
Thanks for posting that! I recognize quite a few people in that video. -And I know a bunch of people flying back to UM for that concert.

I have nothing to reveal.
Ahhh, don't sell yourself so short! ;)

The reading ended at about nine-forty and I had to go to Gelson's and get something to eat since everyone at the reading was a WUSSBURGER. I'll tell all about the reading in the notes - it went well is the bottom line.

Comfort vibes to Edi's friend

We had a very bad day at work. The producer friend who I started the Mercer project with was coming over to see us at the edit room because her husband was there working on the budget with my assistant.
She came in and couldn't talk and then just started crying. She had received a text message as she was pulling into the parking lost that a friend of hers had been murdered. This was a long-time friend of hers, they'd been in a book club together for over 10 years. The victim was a nationally known cancer specialist and lived in a very secure penthouse in the best part of town. My friend was reading over my shoulder after I pulled up the news story and almost collapsed when they went into the cause of death details.
No one can understand how this could happen in a place with such high security; it makes you realize that nowhere is safe. This lady was selling her penthouse to move in with her fianceé (her husband died of cancer a few years ago) so this might have been someone posing as a buyer.
Anyway, it's been a horrible day and I'm sharing this story so you can send vibes to our friend---she really needs them.
