Last night's performance of "Romeo & Juliet" went really well. We seem to be averaging a three hour and 10 minute show. We didn't have as big an audience as last night, but they loved it. A couple of friends of mine were in the audience, but they didn't stick around after the show.
:P to them, I say.

THE JUDY GARLAND SHOW has been out on DVD for quite some time in great condition though NOT BluRay....I have had it for years. It is not in chronological order, so you have to skip around a bit if you want to watch it that way.

Good morning, all! Another day with Jerome Moross, and pleasant company that is! My weekend is tied up with work: Liz Callaway, the PHI project, Moross, and Frank Loesser. When I get bored with them, I'll continue with my current reading. I'm on a ghost story binge, and I'm reading the collected stories of LeFanu, E F Benson, and MR James, as well as the Oxford Book of Victorian Ghost Stories and the Oxford Book of Gothic Tales.
I believe I will see DRs Jose, Ginny, and Richard for dinner at Arties, and I believe that may be my only round of socializing for the weekend.

The original issues of the DVDs looked superb in their day. I never, EVER thought I would own the complete run of THE JUDY GARLAND SHOW or have the outtakes that are also included on those releases. For fans of the legendary star, they are priceless.
I haven't watched any of them in quite some time; I practically wore them out when I first got them. And they were released in such a weird, haphazard way, but I finally got the entire set piecemeal.
For a fan and being able to get them in one set, it's a no-brainer.

Good morning!
Back to having a cool morning today, but it's going to warm up soon enough. The A/C stays on!

Sorry I didn't drop by last night, but around 9:30 I simply could not hold my head up, so I put myself to bed and slept almost 10 hours. I haven't slept like that in decades, but obviously my body was sorely in need of such a long sleep.

Last night DR Jose wrote:
I'm still watching "SYTYCD?"... And nothing is truly "random" about the dance selections - as tonight's featured dance guest proved - nor the couplings.
I"m not sure exactly what you mean. I know they chose the couples (I think they said that on the first show). And i know the choose the dances. ANd i get how the featured dance (ballet) could go with the night before's ballet dance.
What i was wondering was how melissa (the ballerina) got the only ballet dance they've ever done. They always showed the couples pulling the dance randomly from a hat.
I don't think it would be fair for them to give melissa the ballet. However it might have been unfair to expect someone like phillip to do ballet. So i don't know if they made an exception for this dance??
I mean even if there is a hat there must be some way they make sure that dancers don't get the same style they've already had.
-
I did watch some things last night. I started with FOG OVER FRISCO, a 75-minute programmer Bette Davis made in 1934. She's top billed but gets killed halfway through the movie. Margaret Lindsay is really the star. And it turned out to be a sort of murder mystery, too, but the killer was really pretty obvious.
-
Friday morning greetings! It's our last day here in NYC :'( . We're going on a 1:30 guided tour of St. Patrick's Cathedral, to dinner at Artie's with DRs Elmore and Jose (anyone else?), and to see MARY STUART tonight. Early flight tomorrow...
-
I watched next week's episode of NURSE JACKIE from Showtime on Demand. The show is so good that I can't wait around for the next episode, and On Demand graciously obliges with the following week's episode once the original airs on Monday.
-
After that, I decided I wanted to see another POIROT mystery since I enjoyed MRS. McGINTY'S DEAD so much the other night.
So, I went to the Poirot shelf and selected DUMB WITNESS which obviously I had watched when I first got it, but I didn't have much memories of it other than there was the title character, a dog named Bob.
So, I got to play along with the mystery and try to guess the culprit. Unfortunately, after about an hour, my eyes got so heavy, that I just had to go to bed.
After I ate my oatmeal and read the paper this morning, I finished it, and got the murderer correct on the second attempt. (My initial impression was a character who died before the end of the film, so I got to guess again, and I got it right this time.)
-
I've already selected another POIROT title from the shelf to watch after my work project today. It's going to be TAKEN AT THE FLOOD. Looking forward to seeing another one that I have no memory of whatsoever.
-
Today's work project will be another Criterion/Godard film: 2 or 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER. Again, I've never seen it before, so I'm looking forward to watching it for the first time. There were some mentions of it in the bonus features of MADE IN U.S.A., so I do have some idea of what it's about.
There's a commentary track and a bunch of other bonuses, so I may not be able to do the entire disc this afternoon.

We staggered through Act II last night with scene changes, and I had my first night in "the pit." The good news is, despite the tiered levels I mentioned here a long time ago, sight lines were actually much better than anticipated. The bad news is, the director had decided to only pull up one stage panel, so my view of the stage was severely limited. The actors actually complained, as they could not see me either, so he relented and they will pull up the side panels for tonight. The other bad news is the sound designer is "too busy" right now (despite us opening next week--oy), and we had no monitors for either us or the playbacks. It was just insane. But we finished.

DR Jennifer - What I was saying was that is was rigged. There is no way that THE PRODUCERS of the show would ever include a style of dance that none of the dancers could ever pull off. Yes, some dancers may be out of their comfort zone with some of the dance styles, but no one has ever done anything that has been totally out of their realm, or that they could not reasonably pull off. Additionally, the competition round is taped on Tuesday so that it can be edited before Wednesday night's broadcast. How else could they do those playbacks during the judges' critiques. So, if something should happen to go wrong during the taping, they can always do a second tape if needed. -Or if they just need to reshoot a section of a dance from a different angle. That also gives them a chance to learn the opening number for the results show.
Just because it's "reality" TV that doesn't mean it's "true".

Are you saying that they decide who does which dance all the time or just in the case of the ballet number. And is this just your best guess or do you know this for a fact?
I love love loved that ballet number melissa and ade did. To me they are the couple that has worked out the best. And i did not even know her at all from vegas.
There are some people to me that lucked out (like randi). IF she wasn't with evan (who seems to be a fan fav) then she would have been in the B3 many times.

Not in the least! Hanging Macheath distorts his deliberate parody of the popular Italian opera seria and ther silly happy endings of the time. Also, reprieving Macheath gives the "playwright" a chance to comment on his forced happy ending; Macheath and Polly appear in his sequel POLLY, which was not staged in Gay's lifetime.

It was good wasn't it? I mean i saw the preview the day before of nina calling cane out. And i knew the person who showed up at the end was coming. But i just didn't expect it to unfold that quickly. What a great friday cliffhanger. The preview for the next show looks good too. I wonder if everyone will still be mad at cane knowing he had PIII's blessing. And I am so curious if it's Phillip3 or phillip4 who will be the gay character. i think knowing who is cast as P4 that i'd rather it be him. That would be hot (it's the guy who played Coop on GL).

Actually re: SYTYCD i would be fine with them having something to do with who does what dance each week. I don't think that the same couples should always have ballroom ...
I wouldn't even really care if they fixed that melissa/ade got ballet, since it was incredible. And they did have to prove themselves in other styles on past weeks. Plus it's not like he's ever done that before.

I've watched the first 4 episodes of THE FASHION SHOW online. Interesting. Similar to PROJECT RUNWAY yet different enough. No model selection and their own taglines. I did not think i would like the hosts, but so far i don't hate them. My gosh they have toned down Isaac Mizrahi a lot. Every time i've seen him on an entertainment show reviewing outfits he acts crazy This is MUCH better.

How did John pull that off? Does/Did he work for disney?
How much would something like that cost.
Or does that happen every night on Main Street USA
The video was definitely pro shot.

I did watch some things last night. I started with FOG OVER FRISCO, a 75-minute programmer Bette Davis made in 1934. She's top billed but gets killed halfway through the movie. Margaret Lindsay is really the star. And it turned out to be a sort of murder mystery, too, but the killer was really pretty obvious.
Having never seen this film, I can only say......shoot!
I guess it's a good thing that I didn't reveal the murderer's name then!
-
T.O.D.
CD - Nothing
DVD - Some home movies of a very young elmore!
Is that why you wouldn't stop bothering me at THE BEGGAR'S OPERA, you little stalker!
Well, after those stories Alex Pope told me!
LOL!
I just reviewed the Roger Daltrey BBC version of BEGGAR'S OPERA, which was really quite good IMHO.
Except they do hang him in the end, which is not the original play's intention.
Yes--I go into that in my review. Personally I think Gay simply caved to pressure for a "happily ever after." It doesn't really make much sense in the original version.
Not in the least! Hanging Macheath distorts his deliberate parody of the popular Italian opera seria and ther silly happy endings of the time. Also, reprieving Macheath gives the "playwright" a chance to comment on his forced happy ending; Macheath and Polly appear in his sequel POLLY, which was not staged in Gay's lifetime.
PLAYER. All this we must do, to comply with the Taste of the Town.
BEGGAR. Through the whole Piece you may observe such a Similitude of Manners in high and low Life, that it is difficult to determine whether (in the fashionable Vices) the fine Gentlemen imitate the Gentlemen of the Road, or the Gentlemen of the Road, the fine Gentlemen.----Had the Play remain'd, as I at first intended, it would have carried a most excellent Moral. 'Twould have shown that the lower sort of People have their Vices in a degree as well as the Rich: And that they are punish'd for them.
My point exactly--though from the opposite end (so to speak). ;)
Not if you believe Mr Gay was pressured into a happy ending.

I watched this week's episode of THE FASHION SHOW while I ate lunch. With only six designers left, everyone is pretty talented, and the fashion show itself was one of the most enjoyable because no one had a panfully bad design (to my eyes).
Once the bottom two were picked, I saw the points the judges were making about what was wrong with the designs, but to my eyes they were well constructed, interesting, and fun. I also agreed with who went home (even though this person was one of my favorites).
-
Then I watched my work DVD for the day: 2 or 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER. Like Godard's MADE IN U.S.A, he's not really interested in telling a narrative story, so the little bit of narrative that's there is very prosaic. It's more a malcontent's film: showing and talking about aspects of modern society (circa 1966) that he loathes.
Since it was my first time seeing it, it wasn't boring (since it's Godard, you can never be sure what he's going to do next), but I can't imagine ever wanting to watch it again.
-
I did have time to get through all of the bonus items in the supplementary section. This included a funny debate between Godard and a government official discussing how everyone was a prostitute in one way or another if he worked, not out of love of his work, but to earn money for living.
-
I skimmed through today's Y&R. Nope, nothing of interest until the end and previews, but it was certainly great to see what's coming and wonder how this is going to tie into the Adam/Rafe situation.
-
I scanned quickly through ONE LIFE TO LIVE, too. Nothing of interest there either.
-
And I ended my afternoon with this week's BETTER OFF TED. A pretty funny episode with the principals having the share offices. Some good, droll gags.
-
This should open up my options tonight to watch TAKEN AT THE FLOOD and something else. Haven't decided if it'll be something I haven't watched yet (a Blu-ray) or something like '1776' which I do want to watch at some point this weekend.
-
Sarah Palin has resigned from the office of governor! God knows what that news portends.
-
I'm up. Once again, I decided not to get out of bed when the loud noises began at seven (of course, seven is always the loudest - once an hour goes by, then the loudness dissipates a bit). So, I'm up, have read through various and sundried e-mails and shall maybe do the long and/or shorter jog.
This might be a dumb suggestion, but have you ever tried ear plugs? I used some at the concert i went to on Canada Day and they really help.
That's what I posted about the other day but there was NO reaction at all; I guess everyone was "listening" to me with their ear plugs on! I mean:

DR Jennifer - Don't believe everything you see on TV. *And if you read the fine print at the end of the show - which is similar to the fine print that appears at the end of "American Idol" - the producers can do anything they want when it comes to putting together the show for broadcast.
Do you know that 2 lawyers here in France have managed to prove that contestants in such "real" tv (dumb) shows are actually ACTORS and should be paid as such...
Some have taken the shows to court and have won BIG money!!

Much to my surprise, Cops and Robbers showed up at nine-thirty this morning. So, what was going to be a very easy breezy day, turned into a shipping a lot of CDs day. I managed to singlehandedly (no helper today) get everything addressed (I wasn't expecting these until next Tuesday or Wednesday and hadn't even begun addressing), packaged, postaged, and off to the post office by one. I got all the big dealer orders out, save for five overseas dealers - those packages are all done, but have to be taken to the window at the post office, which I'll do on Tuesday morning.

"Sincere" ... with Disney performers singing, dancing and a soundtrack that fits the lyrics that the fiancé ... knows, while most of it is filmed from the rooftops?
It's all set up!
Tell me, do all "proposed" women look as stupid as that pretty girl who's so made up and looks quite phony to me!
They all are Disney performers and it's all staged and choreographed! It's obvious!
-
I still remember my sweet proposal & still smile at the thought of it. Only in So. California could a February proposal be at the beach. It was 2 days after we graduated high school, we were sitting on the sand when Keith looked up and asked me to marry him. I didn't even say yes, just "Of course". Back then there wasn't any question of what you do when you are in love, at least in my mind. :)
Later it was a shock when his parents weren't thrilled their 17 year old son was engaged. I think my parents just went into shock.

To me, Dolly is a woman with some past; she's a widow and "give" advice on life!
She can't be too young and that was the main complaint about Streisand being too young too for the part!

There should be a significant difference in age between this couple and the daffy younger one ...

Disneyland Musical Marriage Proposal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpojZ0COU3Y)
The word from Main Street USA is that both members of the couple are "Cast Members" Disney employees. Since John had to make all sorts of arrangements as well as clear some "clearances", the powers-that-be at Disneyworld were allowed and able to film the proposal - and a multi-camera shoot at that. I actually think I know some of the back-up singers too.

I had a delightful night with three items either completely viewed or in the process of being viewed.
I began with TAKEN AT THE FLOOD, the POIROT mystery from a few years ago. I didn't remember this one at all, but it is a fine mystery, and I quite enjoyed it. Surprising set of murderers, too.
-
I love this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMS4wuO6RLQ
That was most entertaining and enlightening DR FRANCOIS.
-
Next I watched STRANGE INTERLUDE, one of the Warner Archive discs that's been gathering dust in the last month or so since I've been so busy.
My goodness they had ridiculous notions about age back then. When Shearer and Gable's child is seven, they have them with more than half of their hair gray (though Shearer still looks very glamorous and chic). By the time he graduates from college, they're stooped with age, completely white-haired, and almost feeble, looking almost like his grandparents rather than his parents.
The picture started out filled with white speckles, but later on, it clears up and does look bad at all for a 1932 movie. The sound, of course, is horribly hissy.
-
And I concluded my evening with '1776.' I only got through the end of the debate and postponement of the vote right before "But, Mr. Adams." I'll continue with it tomorrow while I eat lunch.

That was most entertaining and enlightening DR FRANCOIS.
That Seth is so fascinating! I never tire of his deconstructing!

It's very cloudy and getting breezy. Severe weather reports east of Phoenix. We hopefully will get our first monsoon storm tonight!

There's some speculation that this new article in Vanity Fair may be a reason for the resignation. Some good dish here!

Lightening. :)

"and you'd be beautiful and Palin looks too much like her"
"His skin was Palin, his eye was odd"
"ah miss look at you look at you, Palin, ivory-skin"

Heading downstairs to bed now.
Good night!

DR François - A semi-random question for you:
What is the French word/term for "ice cream toppings" - things like chopped nuts, sprinkles, jimmies, hot fudge, etc.? Would "accoutrements" work?

Finished a very long motion picture and am now just sitting here like so much fish.

A semi-randon answer from me!
First, those toppings are typically American. We seldom add anything to an ice cream here!
But, when we do, we tend to call them "nappage", even if it is technically not, like chopped nuts. "Nappage" ou "ajout" but not "accoutrement", which is more for the way people dress!

Once again, DR François, merci beaucoup!

Now it is time to go to bed.

I see that the OBC of 9 to 5 is now available from Amazon.com for the much more reasonable price of $12.99. :)
