Post by: George on April 09, 2009, 01:07:11 AM: Topic of the Day: I don't drink (except on special occasions) and I've only been drunk once...and it wasn't at the kegger for my 21st birthday in college. A couple of years after the kegger, I was still in college and living in my own studio apartment. Friends of mine came over to get me drunk, just for the sake of getting me drunk, because I'd never been drunk. I made lasagna and my friends, Heather, Michelle and Michael brought some vodka and raspberry juice. Now, I don't care for raspberries to begin with, so that didn't help. But I choked down that vodka raspberry drink over the course of the evening. And boy, did I get drunk (they said that there wasn't much vodka in it, but I got very drunk). ;D If I just sat there and didn't move ANYTHING, I could actually pay attention to what was happening. But the moment I even turned my head just the tiniest bit, I got all woozy and dizzy. I totally giggled like a schoolgirl the whole evening. I tried to walk to the kitchen and couldn't. I practically had to roll on the floor to get anywhere. We all had a fun time, and they didn't make fun of me too much, either. ;) Anyway, I remember the entire evening (no blackout) and I didn't get a hangover. And I've never gotten drunk again.

I don't have anything against getting drunk or drinking, in general. But for some reason, I just don't like the feel of alcohol...for the most part. And I haven't tried to get used to it. Diet Pepsi is my drink of choice. :)

Post by: Druxy on April 09, 2009, 04:46:26 AM: I dpn't drink alcohol...no even wine at Passover...and haven't for 30 years. I never had a problem with it. One day, I just decided that I didn't enjoy what it did to me, and stopped drinking altogether.

However, before that fateful day, I did get "high" a few times. Probably most embarrassing was the time that I hadn't eaten all day, went over to visit my aunt and cousin who were in town, had a couple of drinks, then we went out to dinner at the Beverly Crest Hotel. I excused myself to go to to the restroom, and the next thing I remember is that my cousin's boy friend is standing over me while I'm sitting on the Men's Room floor.

Wasn't being in your 20s fun?

Now I don't drink alcohol at all because I don't drink and drive. (and never have)

The strongest drink I have is an "Arnold Palmer"

I Don't Have To Hide Anymore

Will I be boring?
Or will you be ignoring the face
A safe
Oh I wish there were some pat
That I can run up and say to you now
But I get stuck and I don’t know
How to say what I mean

You make me smile and laugh
That doesn’t sound like much
But it’s simple things
A look, a touch
And I feel so warm
And feel so right inside
You bring me out
So I don’t have to hide anymore
Anymore

Post by: Dan (the Man) on April 09, 2009, 06:17:32 AM: TOD:

The drunkest I've ever been was when I was 21. I was out with friends and already had a beer buzz when we decided to head for a wild party where I polished off a bottle of red wine and then grabbed a bottle of Dewer's. I have no idea how much of it I drank because I blacked out at some point. I was lucky that I didn't die from alcohol poisoning. I was later told just how lucky I was that other things didn't happen to me and how lucky I was that I had some good people watching out for me. I never again allowed myself to be that drunk and that stupid.

I rarely drink now, maybe I will have a scotch on the rocks or a martini about once a year.

Post by: elmore3003 on April 09, 2009, 06:45:29 AM: Good morning, all! The dog is still barking and I am both angry and a bit worried because I heard no signs of the neighbor above me coming home last night, such as his clomping about the ceiling after midnight or the sound of his bed unfolding. I have to see my super today because I've discovered a leak in my bathroom, so I'll bring up the problem - again - with him. I do not wish the dog ill, only silent alot more often or out of the building. It's not my responsibility to babysit another's animal and I like pets. There's a problem, though, when the dog continually for hours on end.

Ir's nice to see the two readers who mentioned my BABES post have an appreciation for whoredom in the theatre. The good thing for me in posting it was that it gave me a much clearer picture than I see on my TextEdit page of what I need to rewrite. I wish I still had Ruth Gordon's bio here, because she mentions several managers and casting people who expected sexual favors for their help, at this would have been around 1916.

So, today I have an electrician arriving between 1 and 4 pm to fix the short in the kitchen light fixture, and I have to finish up my libretto notes for tomorrow's meeting at Toyland.

Kiss and tell, BK!

Title: Re: ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS
Post by: Charles Pogue on April 09, 2009, 07:03:14 AM: BK, Susan Dey? Woo Hoo!

I'm not much of a drinker. Rarely hard liquor and when I do, it's usually a gin and tonic, something with vodka, or a margarita. When I drink, I drink wine...and have lately been having a glass of red three or four times a week for a its purported medicinal efforts on the behalf of blood pressure and such. But I have no cravings for it...and can go weeks, sometimes months without a drink. Mostly I don't really prefer the taste of alcohol. I'd rather have a diet coke. I do like a glass of bubbly...probably my favourite alcoholic beverage.

I had my first drink on my twenty-first birthday. My father took me to the Playboy Club in Cincinnati (now long defunct) and I had a screwdriver. I had my picture taken with a Playboy Bunny to commemorate the occasion. What's amazing about the picture is the haze of cigarette smoke around it. I used to have the playboy candle holder off our table from that night.

I have been blissfully high, mellow, or tipsy on several festive occasions. Drunk only a few times in my life. The first time was when I was playing the part of McCann, the menacing Irish intruder in Pinter's the Birthday Party. The director had discovered the "Method" on a trip to England over the summer and it was a torturous rehearsal period where he made us play lots of theatre games and improvs and awareness exercises...and I hate all that shit! Just put the script in my hands, block me, and let me say the words. It was easy to tell the director didn't know what he was doing and how flatulent all this nonsense was, because everytime he felt I was "faking" it on stage, it felt "real" to me. And everytime he felt I was being really honest and true, I knew I was "faking" it.

Anyway, in the play, there was a scene where I was supposed to get drunk. When the director found out I didn't drink and had never been drunk, he said, "What? How can you play drunk if you don't know what it's like to be drunk (if one follows this logic down its ultimate path, you could ask how can you play MacBeth, if you've never committed regicide?). So it was decided we'd have a cast party that weekend and get me drunk...which we proceeded to do, on screwdrivers. Here was the problem...my character was a rather melancholy, wistful drunk. My first drunk was rather lively and happy, I was singing Fred Astaire songs, tap-dancing in the kitchen (and I don't tap dance), laughing a lot. So as a method object lesson...the whole thing was a abject failure. The next morning I was mightily hungover and did not move from my apartment...or the couch, where I had spent the night...until my director came over and said, "What? You haven't eaten anything yet. That will make you feel better." The idea sounded nauseating, but it turned out to be the one thing the director was right about it. After eggs and toast, I was feeling much better. Apart from the director and the rehearsal nonsense, I was very good in the play and got nice reviews.

The next momentual drunk I tied on was several years later, in Dallas, right after I had closed in some dinner theatre play with Rose Marie. The next week Elvis died. Another cast member and I were big Elvis fans. At first we thought of driving to Memphis, but instead we just decided to have our own wake for him. He had a membership to the Dallas Playboy Club (also now long defunct) and we went there. Unfortunately they had a coat and tie policy and I had worn a scarf (it was the seventies), so they reluctantly couldn't admit us. So instead, we bought some cheap wine and went to his house. About three o'clock in the morning, drunk as a skunk, I felt I had to go home to walk my dog, Hotspur...even though I was in absolutely no condition to drive home. I stupidly did so anyway. I remember driving down Lemmon Avenue at 3AM, no one else on the road, chastising myself. Even when one is blotto, there is that part of your brain that is crystal clear...sort of observing you. The crystal part of my brain was observing the drunk, sloppy me, saying, "If you're lucky enough to get home without incident, accident, or being pulled over by the cops, you must NEVER do this again!" Fortunately, I did get home safely, took the dog out, vomitted in the courtyard, and went to sleep it off, Hotspur showing great concern for me.

The next day my companion in drunkeness, called, we went out to breakfast to cure our hangovers and then sat through ANNIE HALL. So much for Elvis' wake.

Needless to say, I have never driven drunk again. One of the scariest, stupidiest things I have ever done!

Title: Re: ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS
Post by: Matt H. on April 09, 2009, 07:29:01 AM: I've only been drunk twice in my life, and I didn't intend for it to happen either time.

The first time was on New Year's Eve when my partner of the time and I were just celebrating our second anniversary. We went to a New Year's Eve party where each guest was supposed to bring a bottle of champagne. I spent the evening MIXING champagnes which made me the absolute sickest I have ever been apart from having food poisoning.

The other time I got drunk was the night I retired. I made myself a pitcher of margaritas and during the course of the evening drank the entire pitcher. I don't think it hit me how bad off I was until I got up to go to bed, and the room started spinning and wouldn't stop.

I can't imagine ever getting that way again. Now, I have one, maybe two glasses of wine or a mixed drink at a party/dinner and that's all. Like others, I can go weeks or months without any alcohol.

Naturally I've never seen any of these science-oriented films, but they must be something special for Criterion to lavish a three-disc set on them (The third disc is a two-plus hour documentary on the filmmaker).

I doubt I'll be able to get the entire set done today as each film disc has three hours of material on it. So, this looks like a two day job. No sweat. It doesn't come out until April 21st.

What will be interesting is when i was little my grandmother used to do something to her gelfite fish. I don't even really know what she did. But somehow she fried it so it was dark brown. IT was my most favorite thing.

This year my aunt (her daughter) is going to make it for tonight. Hopefully it will be as good as i remember.

Another my grandmother used to make which i have not had in years (and which i loved so much). was grebinas (i really have no idea how to spell this). You somehow fry chicken fat and onions and
even though it sound weird it is the most delicious treat ever.
Title: Re: ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS
Post by: Jennifer on April 09, 2009, 07:58:37 AM: I just found this:

Gribenes (cracklings) are bits of chicken skin that are fried crisp during the rendering process. These small, crunchy treats add intense flavor to breads and also make a delicious garnish for chopped chicken liver. (To add them to yeast breads, knead some crisp gribenes into the dough after the first full rise.)

Post by: ArnoldMBrockman on April 09, 2009, 08:21:27 AM: The Summer Of 1952. I just graduated from High School and was on my way to Carnegie Tech(now Carnegie Mellon)to Major in Drama.That Summer I was accepted to Apprentice at The Cape Playhouse in Dennis Massachssetts.Cape Playhouse was owned by Richard Aldrich(Gertrude Lawrence's Husband)
The First Production that Summer was LADY IN THE DARK starring Kitty Carlisle.
After Opening Night,The Apprentice's had their own little Party. The weather was extemely hot. In the 90's. We served Sea Breeze which was(at that time) GIN and GRAPEFRUIT JUICE, I never had Gin before and was extremely thirsty. I downed three or four cups of that mixture and felt no pain. My whole body was Anesthetized-from my head to my feet. You could have Operated on me and I would't have felt a thing. I have never felt that way again mainly because I never drank Gin after that incident, My Drink of Choice now is Grey Goose Vodka.
By The way,Gertrude Lawrence was with us the entire Summer. She was Dying from Cancer and had just taken a leave of absence from appearing in THE KING AND I(I believe she died right after that summer). She spent a great deal of time with us youngsters.What a wonderful and gracious Lady. I will never forget that Wonderful Summer and the Wonderful Gertie.

I am not sure I transcribe all the lyrics correctly

I Don't Have To Hide Anymore

Will I be boring?
Or will you be ignoring the face
A safe
Oh I wish there were some pat
That I can run up and say to you now
But I get stuck and I don’t know
How to say what I mean

You make me smile and laugh
That doesn’t sound like much
But it’s simple things
A look, a touch
And I feel so warm
And feel so right inside
You bring me out
So I don’t have to hide anymore
Anymore

The face, a safe? No.

Will I be boring
Or will you be ignoring
The things I say
Oh, I wish there were something pat
That I could run up and say to you now
But I get stuck and I don't know how
To say what I mean

There's a second verse that was recorded but cut right out of the multitracks, so I've never been able to restore it, and then the repeated chorus.

I'd say things that I want to
Yes, I really should move on to
The point of this
Oh, I really am in a rut
But I'll try saying the things that I feel
It really isn't a great big deal
Believe me it's not
All right then...

You make me smile and laugh doesn't sound like much
But it's simple things - a look - a touch
And I feel so warm, I feel so right inside
You bring me out and I don't have to hide
Anymore... Anymore...

(repeat)

Imagine my surprise having written this song in late 1973 (around the time of Feast) to hear Barry Manilow's Can't Smile Without You - same exact vamp and and basically the same hook. Because my song had been sent around quite a lot by my then manager, we thought about doing something, but ultimately didn't. But I was first. And I know a good hook when I come up with one :)

Post by: Ginny on April 09, 2009, 08:58:37 AM: TOD - New Year's Eve, sometime in the late 1970's. I was at my parents' and we decided to stay in and have a quiet evening. Sat around watching TV and drinking scotch & soda, then at midnight my mom brought out snacks and a bottle of cold duck. That was when I learned never to mix liquor and wine :P

Now, I do like wine with meals and an occasional scotch, or Margarita, or Bloody Mary, but I really don't drink much at all - too many empty calories.

It was good, but I really do need to find another place for breakfast - or just eat here at the apartment like I normally do. Their pricing is really starting to bug me: one(!) egg on the side is $2.25, and a side order of bacon - which is just two pieces, and not a proper 3-piece "rasher" of bacon - is $3.50.

Post by: JoseSPiano on April 09, 2009, 09:42:18 AM: As for the Topic of the Day...

I "suffer" from some people call "The Asian Curse" when it comes to alcohol consumption. Usually, all it takes is one drink - or even half a drink - to make me look like I'm drunk: red-faced, a little "warm", sometimes even a little puffy-looking. However, after a little while, my body adjusts, and then I'm fine - or at least look fine. So, consequently, I don't really drink that much. There are times when I will have maybe three or four drinks over a two-month span, and then I won't drink anything for a couple of months. However...

The first time that I know I was drunk was after a long of day of playing for a music competition. Not only was I accompanying five instrumentalists, but I was also competing myself. In other words, I had basically prepared six recital programs to be played back to back. Well, I played OK, but didn't place. However, three of my instrumentalists won their categories, so we all headed out afterwards to celebrate. We ended up at Dalt's, where it turned out that a friend of mine was working. So... My friends were buying me drinks, and the waitstaff and the bartenders were also taking good care of us too: all of our drinks were served in large tumblers! Well... After driving home - which I know I should not have done - I went right to bed. The bed wasn't spinning too much when I first laid down, but then after an hour or so, I eventually had to run to the bathroom, and...

Strangely enough, when I woke up the next morning, I felt fine. -And I don't think I've ever suffered from a hangover of any sort.

Otherwise, I think I've only been drunk two or three more times since then - and that was almost 20 years ago. I remember being very full of food and wine after the Chef's Table Dinner at Victoria & Albert's down in Disneyworld, and I also remember imbibing quite a bit when I was in Australia - especially since I had celebrated my birthday while I was Down Under too.

Post by: JoseSPiano on April 09, 2009, 09:52:29 AM: As for the Topic of the Day (Part Deux)...

I have discovered over the years, that "cheap alcohol" really does affect me more than "the good stuff". -And dark beers sit better with me than light)-colored) ones.

I also know that I cannot drink on any empty stomach, so, if I'm at dinner and I feel like it, I will usually have a glass of wine with my entree only after I've had an appetizer and some bread. I just need that "cushion" there.

As for cocktails, I used to really like the sweet ones: Amaretto Sours, White Russians, Rum and Cokes, etc. Nowadays, if I do have something "stronger", it's usually a Tanqueray & Tonic or a margarita.

I just found this:

Gribenes (cracklings) are bits of chicken skin that are fried crisp during the rendering process. These small, crunchy treats add intense flavor to breads and also make a delicious garnish for chopped chicken liver. (To add them to yeast breads, knead some crisp gribenes into the dough after the first full rise.)

-Also known as "chicken chicaron" - the poultry equivalent of pork rinds. Filipinos make them too, and they're a common item on Latin American tables.

*And if you go to the 2nd Avenue Deli in NYC - which is now off of 3rd Avenue - gribenes are their "table bread". :)

I did my fair share of drinking while in my 20s, and there were certainly a few times that I was drunk, which might have caused me to do some things I might not necessarily have done if sober ::) (Circa 1986, I do have a memory of inviting home, after a party, the latest Mr. Oregon Leather and then making him watch a double feature of ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS and ATTACK OF THE 50 FT WOMAN) :D

I rarely drink now, maybe I will have a scotch on the rocks or a martini about once a year.

In university we did go to bars quite often. But i don't think I drank most of the time. I was eiher driving or organizing the event.

I'm not really too fond of beer or wine. I prefer fruity drinks like a pina colada or strawberry margarita.

But my rule is if i'm driving then i won't drink anything. The only time i broke that rule was at my sister's wedding. I had arranged to get a ride. But i only had 2 drinks (last one at 9:30pm and i didn't leave till 4am. So i felt fine. Although i would have loved a breathalizer to actually know for sure.

Alcohol really interacts with the drug, and it is very hard to regulate the proper dosage to achieve the correct blood viscosity. So the doctor told him: "I'm not telling you to drink more, but if you're going to drink, you need to be consistent in your drinking!" :)

Post by: td on April 09, 2009, 01:13:40 PM: I am in the food and beverage business, alcohol is a part of my living. As such, I do sample our new products, but never to the point of drunkenness.
I'm not a drinker ANYMORE, maybe a beer or an Absolut martini every now and then, but nothing compared to what I refer to as "The Disco Daze."
Once dad was in his last year, I had pretty much not having drunk anything alcoholic at all; and that final year was quite a roller-coaster ride, with dad's cancer & diabetes and mum's several knee surgeries. A running joke at work was that I was the one person people knew who they felt should drink. . .I maintained that I had to be on my guard and on my toes for the late night hospital runs, or the EMS visits or just to be there for both of my parents in a lucid state.
That said, my favorite drunken memory comes from my 23rd birthday . . .
There was a wonderful establishment on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, called The Tender Trap. It had been a jazz club in the 50s and 60s, but had by 1975 turned into an upstairs talk bar and downstairs disco bar. Finally it was one of the most comfortable gay bars to be in in Pittsburgh, thanks to its dual nature. It was never a meat rack, but a charming, dimly lit, almost night-club atmosphere on the top and a mirror-balled discoteque below. In short, if you were there to drink and chat, you were comfortable in the fact that no one was hitting on you - you could go downstairs, line up against the rail for that. . .and dance the night away.
I was a regular in the upstairs, and had dated (NOT a euphemism) the bartender David frequently. I rarely went into the place unless David was on duty.
For my 23rd birthday, David decided that, in addition to my usual black Russians, I would have 23 complimentary Blue Flames (Southern Comfort, Peppermint Schnapps served in a shot glass, lit, and consumed).
I remembered the countdown.
I remembered the beverages.
What I don't remember is how I came to be awake in my apartment in the nude.
There were no articles of clothing surrounding me, but, when I opened my apartment door I saw a trail of clothing leading half-way down the block from my front door! (the bar was indeed within walking distance from my apartment).
Hansel-like, I gathered up my~~breadcrumbs~~ clothing, shaking my head at the inconceivability of it all.
Going out with David the following night, I asked him about my departure. He said that I wasn't drunk - he would have shut me off I had been - and had gone downstairs for a dance, before coming up and bidding people goodbye.
I guess that the combination of the alcohol and the warm summer night did their thing while I was walking the few blocks home.

They were all enjoyable to varying degrees, but it was a bit unpleasant to watch a vampire bat drain the blood from a guinea pig while the poor animal was trying to figure out what was happening to it.

When I was in grade school, I sang in the Cathedral's Junior Choir. For the Holy Thursday Mass, we were seated downstairs with the congregation, off to one side of the altar. The Bishop was presiding over that Mass, and during the Recessional, I looked up in the middle of singing and noticed that he was waving at me. So, I waved back. Of course, he wasn't waving at me, I just happened to look up as he was in the midst of blessing the Congregation - making the sign of the Cross. Then the giggling started... ::)

Or is it the time you experienced all three? Fortunately, I've never experienced all three at once - just each individually. I guess "drunkest" is the time I had a lapse in my memory and I got drunk with friends on something they called "fruit bruit" which was Hawaiian Punch mixed with lord knows how many different types of liquor. But the funnier story is the time I passed out. I was sitting at a Mexican restaurant with a dear old friend who was just turning 21. (We had been friends since we were 5 years old and religiously watched the Partridge Family together every Friday night and then played Partridge Family records until bedtime while singing into our hairbrush microphones.) I had two margaritas at the restaurant. The next thing my friend new, I just simply fell over sideways, slumped over the booth seat. When I came to, I said, "Oh wow, I fell asleep!" My friend said, "You did??" She was busting up laughing that I really believed I fell asleep at the table. Later that evening I said, "You know, I don't think I fell asleep - I think I passed out."

T.O.D.

The drunkest I have ever been was 1977 till 1993.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways!

How do you define "drunkest"? Is it the time you passed out the most, the time you vomited the most, or the time you had the longest memory lapse? Or is it the time you experienced all three? Fortunately, I've never experienced all three at once - just each individually. I guess "drunkest" is the time I had a lapse in my memory and I got drunk with friends on something they called "fruit bruit" which was Hawaiian Punch mixed with lord knows how many different types of liquor. But the funnier story is the time I passed out. I was sitting at a Mexican restaurant with a dear old friend who was just turning 21. (We had been friends since we were 5 years old and religiously watched the Partridge Family together every Friday night and then played Partridge Family records until bedtime while singing into our hairbrush microphones.) I had two margaritas at the restaurant. The next thing my friend new, I just simply fell over sideways, slumped over the booth seat. When I came to, I said, "Oh wow, I fell asleep!" My friend said, "You did??" She was busting up laughing that I really believed I fell asleep at the table. Later that evening I said, "You know, I don't think I fell asleep - I think I passed out." My friend said, "Yes, I know you did."

I thonk it's the moment you discover your face is imprinted in the bar surface.

I finished my notes, I have a great new kitchen light fixture, i've ordered a tall stepladder, and i just received a warm and fuzzy email from a friend I have not seen since around 1977 after running off with the one I loved at the time. Hmmmmm . . .

I need to order vitamins and I've been meaning to do that all day.

Anthony's show is winding down. One more week (the last performance is next Sunday the 19th). He had hoped to go back in August for The Sound of Music (playing Max) but that won't happen. The director cast the show from other people that he knew before Anthony even got to Wisconsin in Februrary. Oh, well. Unemployment is nothing new to an actor.

I'm listening to Michael Feinstein Isn't It Romantic. One of my favorite MF CDs.

I listened to Illya, Darling when I came home. I ate my dinner and listened to Melina "sing". Bruce you did good work. Thanks for putting out this rarity!

Post by: Jane on April 09, 2009, 06:48:10 PM: With my family history & my fine palate for good aged liquor I had a fear of becoming an alcoholic when I was young. Keith was always very helpful when he felt I was drinking too much. He would casually move my glass out of my reach. I knew people who felt that was terribly “controlling” of him. I loved him for it. I think good wine & liquor taste so darn good & my resistance to it is so darn low that I can never really have as much as I would like, just a little at a time.

Tonight's run-thru went very well. -And I only had one conductor/operator error! WHEW!

Of course, since we move into the theatre tomorrow night for tech, it means that we'll be "losing" the show for the next few days. But I'm looking forward to having some time to take care of some final fine-tuning - figuratively and literally - in the space.

Title: Re: ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS
Post by: Matt H. on April 09, 2009, 08:19:20 PM: Well, I continued with the SCIENCE IS FICTION short films. I watched 8 more leaving four more for tomorrow plus other videos and documentaries with the set.
Title: Re: ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS
Post by: Matt H. on April 09, 2009, 08:21:04 PM: One of the bonus features on disc one was a 95-minute compilation of eight of the films I had watched already but this time rescored with music by Yo Le Tengo. The films already had their own scores so I felt this was unnecessary though the music was certainly different from what was originally used with the films.
Title: Re: ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS
Post by: Matt H. on April 09, 2009, 08:22:45 PM: After that I watched Monday night's HEROES. Overall I liked the show, but I am SO over Hiro and Ando as comedy relief, and HRG's wife just happening to be in Washington so Sylar could confuse the issue seemed very convenient.
Title: Re: ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS
Post by: Matt H. on April 09, 2009, 08:23:45 PM: Next I watched tonight's BONES episode. I didn't guess the killer's identity, but I did enjoy the show very much. Great chemistry with this cast.
Title: Re: ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS
Post by: Matt H. on April 09, 2009, 08:25:25 PM: And I concluded my evening with tonight's SOUTHLAND. Lots of characters, only about five of which we got to delve into in any meaningful way. I'm sure the others will be explored in more depth in upcoming weeks. I just hope they keep the cases close-ended. The LAST thing NBC needs right now is another serialized drama.

What a nice film.

They obviously couldn't come to dollar terms with Ms. Streisand for her voice and image in the Sunday Clothes number.

So there is Michael Crawford, Marianne McAndrew, Tommy Tune, Danny Lockin (his estate) the dancers and Marianne McAndrew's dubber (There were two. One for the solos and one for the group numbers.)

I wonder if the get any residuals?

Post by: Matt H. on April 09, 2009, 08:41:49 PM: I got the review copy of SIN CITY on Blu-ray late today. I won't have time to get to it tomorrow, but I guess that will be my weekend project. There are two different versions of the movie in the set (separate discs), so looks like I'll be watching it twice plus a bunch of bonus features. It comes out on the 21st, too, just like the Criterion disc I'm working on now.

*I also discovered Charleston's "Green Taxi". They use Prius Hybrids. Best of all, they charge a flat-rate of $7.00(!!!) for travel within downtown Charleston, and only up to $20 from downtown out to Mount Pleasant. Quite a good deal.

Tonight I received a txt from a good friend who is a horn player and who is playing in a community production of Crazy for You. Evidently, the bass player subbed out and the sub didn't show. Quite a kerfuffle for a show which one of the major numbers is "Slap That Bass". Well, they made it through with the keyboard player doing something with a bass patch. The sub showed up at intermission. I'll get the full scoop tomorrow.
