And the word of the day is: ACEDIA!
While browsing the book store today two other books were suggested though they didn't interest me as much as Every Man. Has anyone read THE MAGICIANS or THE AMERICAN GIRL?
Has there ever been this much advance talk about replacements in a Broadway show, at leats in this century, as there has been about the NIGHT MUSIC replacement cast.
Bernadette peters just because she's apparently so great, and the Stritch thing has turned into a sporting event - if all turns out well, it'll be like the Matthew Broderick STARRY MESSENGER thing of course, all forgotten.
re: the MILLENIUM movies being remade in the US.
I know movies are rarely as good as the books. But I still have hope. I would like the movies to made in the US. I want to see what they will do.
I just think that the books are so popular. And I don't think the foreign films will be seen by that many people here.

NEVER TOO LATE is so funny....and I love the movie.....with Mr Paul Ford, although I am less in love with the performance of Miss Maureen O'Sullivan.....Connie Stevens and Jim Hutton.....
And though there is NO star power there - I think Jane Wyatt who plays Grace would have been a dynamite Edith!
Bunker?
I, too, wondered why the title Backfire. And how hard were they trying to make Viveca Lindfors look like Ingrid Bergman?
they found a loris in Sri Lanka.....scientists thought they were extinct, they haven't been seen since 1937

BTW, I don't think anyone else has posted this (and apologies if they have), but Barnes & Noble is having a 50% Criterion sale through 8/1 right now, including pre-releases. Great deal on all those new BD's they have recently released and others which are about to street.
DR DRUXY....maybe it was Penny Singleton.
Get me off this damn page.
Speaking of DVDs, I'm going to ask one more time before I buy: Does anyone have a copy of THE GROUP that they'd be willing to lend to me for my August 19 book group meeting? Can't find it on Netflix or at any libraries.
I think I will order me some RED SHOES and BLACK NARCISSUS.
I just read and the 3rd movie (the GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST) will be coming out here in french on dvd august 17th!
Interestingly the titles here have just been: MILLENIUM and MILLENIUM 2 (for the dvds).
The 3rd one is called on amazon.ca: MILLENIUM 3 Reine Dans Le Pal.

Or perhaps his white bag and blue dress for that patriotic look!
I read a book by J.B. Priestley called "The Magicians." Wasn't one of his better works. But I would imagine there are other novels of the same name out there.
OOF! What I almost posted there! I would have been in BIG trouble...
I know that this is a break in tradition, but I am doing laundry today. I was too sick over the weekend to attempt the stairs.

Richard and I both just received text messages from Rob that said, "Got baby!" As part of his paramedic training, he has to be present for 2 births. He's been scheduling hospital times and being sent home because there were no deliveries imminent during those shifts. He had an 8-hour shift today at a different hospital and that must have done the trick!

Speaking of books, I am reading THEATER GEEK, the most wonderful book about Stage Door Manor, the staff, and soem of the kids attending the camp.

Little known fact - Mickey Rapkin, the author of the book, is the son of Leonard Rapkin who is the son of my Aunt Minnie and Uncle Rube - for those who've read my new book, you know I lived in Aunt Minnie's building in Flatbush back in 1969. So, I suppose Mickey is my cousin.

I haven't read either or these. But usually when someone posts a book here i go to amazon.com to check on it. Some of the comments on THE AMERICAN GIRL are rather interesting.
I also like to see the ratings. If a book has mostly 5s it's usually a good one.

I'm not sure. I'm definitely not going to read it right now, since my library doesn't have it. And I have 3 books now and am on a list for about 6 others.
There was something one reviewer wrote which sort of turned me off (saying how it was confusing).
I was so excited when I saw my mail and there was a big box waiting. I was sure it was my hoopnotica, since it was mailed on saturday and I was not expecting any other boxes.
But it wasn't. :(
It is supposed to arrive tomorrow. So i guess I will have it tomorrow or wednesday. I am so excited to try this. I hope i'm able to do it. Luckily there is a 1 hour dvd to show me some movies.

Well, a gift for telling a story must gallop in your family! Your cousin's written a very fascinating companion to the film documentary on Stage Door Manor. I am really enjoying it.

Except for the very painful arthritis in my hands and feet, I feel almost normal. Well, as normal as I can feel.

I'll take photos. The bikers (as in bicyclists) are often in teams, dressed up like...oh bees, elvis, cows, you name it. I really should do it one of these years, at least for a day or two. It's 7 days of riding through the country, partying (or not) town after town having all sorts of events, tons of great food and for at least 99 % of the people, just a crazy, up-beat wonderful feeling (I'm sure the alcohol helps) No deadlines, the only rules are when services (emergency, vans to pick you up if you cant' ride any more etc) end for a stretch of the road. So, time doesn't really exist. Most people camp out in tent cities or in people's yards. There are supposed to be around 20,000 on the ride. I think about 10,000 are officially registered.

Groan, don't remind me. You are two years younger than I am-lol.
re: the hoopnotica.
I have not tried it yet. But from what i've seen it is not really like a hula hoop. It is weighted inside the hoop. So you can swing it on your hips or move it in the air above your head. It looks exactly like a hula hoop. But it is very rhythmical.
I am gonna try it outside tomorrow (if I get it tomorrow). From what i saw you put your right foot out and you move your body forward and backward not round and round like you would with a regular hoop.
One reason i wanted it is because it is supposed to be very good for your waist. I think if my waist was an inch or two smaller i could fit into all my smaller clothes.
DR Jane have you read Stephanie Plum book 16 yet?
My mom just got it from the library.
I remember you saying you liked Janet Evanovich books. I saw on the VIEW today Sherri announced that she will be playing the part of Lulu in the movie (the one where Katherine Heigl will be playing stephanie plum). Apparently sherri (shepherd co-host of the VIEW) is a big fan of the books and wanted to play that part (of a hooker?) since she first read book 1.

Ginny I don't have The Group. Are you enjoying the book?
Oh it's called RAGBRAI Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. It started with some reporters from the Des Moines Register and has turned into a really cool thing. Cities compete to be the over night cities. Since there aren't very many cities on the Missouri, we get to host th beginning every few years. You dip your wheel in the Missouri to get started and then dip your wheel in the Mississippi at the end.
The store leaves index cards on books various people recommend. I asked myself the same question and I can't answer it. The guy that helped me in the store wrote the review for The Magicians and I have mixed opinions on his suggestions.
I recently read Fifteen. While I still enjoy them they are getting somewhat redundant so I'm not rushing to read sixteen.
I didn't know a movie was in production-funny since I was thinking about it yesterday and wondered what happened. Last I heard Reese Witherspoon was maybe doing it, and that was a few years back.
I think Jason O'Mara is a good choice for Morelli. What does your mother think of the cast?
Today I am going to have ice cream, because Cilla said I could.
Jennifer you might like the books. I suggest giving the first one a try. They are funny which is why they are so popular.

I might try the first book. But not for a while.
I am #1 or 2 for quite a few books. Plus I asked for an inter-library loan for a series from one of my favorite authors (Richelle Mead). But I'm not sure if they will find the books.
Tomovoz and I were discussing M. C Beaton's books. I said I loved the Hamish Macbeth series, but couldn't stand the Agatha Raisin books. At the exact same time he was writing me back and saying that he loved the Agatha Raisin series, but wouldn't touch Hamish Macbeth.
LOL!
DR elmore--I'm listening to Kim Criswell's CD ("Back to Before") and see that you did the orchestrations for several of the songs. I guess you've worked with just about every Broadway performer!
TCB if you don't like Stephanie I'll just have to leave ;)
In truth I'm going to go sit outside and finish reading another excellent suggestion from DR td, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. I don't care for the title and had td not insisted I may have skipped the book. Regardless of my opinion having read most the book I can't think of a more appropriate title.
On the whole I'm not a fan of vampire books or movies. I did go to Transylvania and have a t-shirt to prove it.
I've only read one of Patterson's books.
Just have to be able to ride 500 miles in 7 days. Some people prep for months, others don't prep at all.

Ginny I don't have The Group. Are you enjoying the book?
I read it in 1964, either before or right after I finished Katherine Anne Porter's SHIP OF FOOLS. Mary McCarty and Lillian Hellman hated each other and I'm siding with Lillian. Miss McCarty is a homophobic old coot, who in THE GROUP certainly dislikes gay men and lesbians, which I find surprising given her world of actors and private ladies colleges.

Is this the same Mary McCarty who was in Follies and Chicago? Not that it matters, but I'm just curious.

The Story of RAGBRAI
Here's one more on the history of the ride. It's a pretty cool thing. I've always wanted to do it, I even bought a couple wrist bands once, but I've never really trained and although many do it without much trainging, I don't think i could. I wouldn't mind driving a van some year and maybe riding one day

I would only ride on the last day. That way they would think I was slow because I had already been riding for six days.
I like THE CLOSER tonight.
Thanks to DRs Ron Pulliam, JRand, and Jane for comments about THE GROUP DVD. DR Elmore has come to the rescue!
Oh, and DR Jane, I just started the book, so haven't come to any conclusions yet.
I've only read one of Patterson's books.
The only book I've read of his is Sunday at Tiffanys.
But my mom has read the Alex Cross books and the Women's Murder Club. And she loves them.
Oh I just got the call.....I am playing Harry Lambert in NEVER TOO LATE!
I like THE CLOSER tonight.
DR Cillaliz - may I have ice cream, too?
I like THE CLOSER tonight.
We finally watched the previous episode last night. The station changed and I didn't check if the new season was set to record. Luckily it was on again.
DR Cillaliz - may I have ice cream, too?
But of course, ICE CREAM FOR ALL!!!
DR Cillaliz, last night I watched a motion picture on DVD which had been filmed on location in De Moines, Iowa.
The film was titled THE HOSTAGE (1967) and it starred Don Kelly (aka Don O'Kelly), Harry Dean Stanton, John Carradine, and Ron Hagerthy. It was a very interesting film, and for a budget dvd the picture quality was both fantastic and anamorphic.
The movie reminded me a lot of an early 1970s made for televison film. Has anyone else ever seen this film? I only picked it up because I had interviewed Ron Hagerthy a few years back.
Oh JRand so sorry I forgot to say this earlier....CONGRATS!!
