I've only seen less than a handful of films

So
The Boyfriend
Tommy
Altered States

and I did see The Devils but I wouldn't call it a favorite. I was very young and somehow I passed for 18 years old. I wondeed how people could remain religious during the the time the movie was set. wow!

One day I would like to see Women In Love

Post by: elmore3003 on April 21, 2011, 05:24:40 AM: Good morning, all! I went to bed early and missed a telephone call from Mr Skip Kennon. I slept rsther well, with bizarre dreams featuring my mother and her demented, slovenly housekeeping and a production of Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well.

Today, I have several phone calls to return, possibly a trip to the NYPL at Lincoln Center, which I could put off till tomorrow,and work on an opening night gift for my friend Ron Raines.

There's been a rumor circulating for years that someone at Warner Brothers is boycotting a VHS/DVD release of Ken Russell's shocker THE DEVILS, which is one of my favorite films. I would like to see the film in a good print once again before I die, since it's based on a wonderful play by John Whiting and a fantastic history by Aldous Huxley, The Devils of Loudon. All three pose the question: which are the devils, the "possessed" nuns or the exorcists and their supporters?

Other Russell films I like: WOMEN IN LOVE, THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM, SALOME'S LAST DANCE, TOMMY, THE BOY FRIEND

Title: Re: BRASS TACKS
Post by: JoseSPiano on April 21, 2011, 06:12:46 AM: As for the Topic of the Day...

When I was in college, I remember renting the three composer bio-pics and watching them back-to-back over the course of a weekend:

"The Music Lovers"
"Lisztomania"
"Mahler"

-And I wish I had been able to catch them last year when they were presented at the Film Society of Lincoln Center.

Otherwise...

"The Boy Friend"

-Which I only ever seemed to catch in late-night TV showings.

Title: Re: BRASS TACKS
Post by: Druxy on April 21, 2011, 06:50:50 AM: My wife and I watched THE BOY FRIEND last night.

Overall, we enjoyed it very much...but, I think, the US theatrical release version (at 110 minutes) would probably play a lot better than this 135 minute version.

This version is way too long.

The repetitive backstage jokes become stale, and a couple of sequences (i.e. the "satyr" fantasy, the last section of the "Bloomsbury" number) should have been cut. They're boring...and stop the movie in its tracks.

But, I love the music, the Busby-like numbers and Twiggy is terrific.

I wish I knew Russell's work a little better. I was a kid when Tommy came out and I remember it giving me nightmares, so put that on the plus side.

I later caught and enjoyed "The Boyfriend," "Mahler" and "Women in Love."

"Lizstomania" is one I'd like to see. I remember Pauline Kael's review in which she imagined the life of the set builders who had to create the giant penis for Roger Daltry to dance on.

Nope it's Van de Kamp's restaurant. My father originally owned that property and had another location of his restaurant there - he made the bad mistake of making it a dinner place - and by dinner no one was left on the Miracle Mile so it was a disaster and he got rid of it. Van de Kamp's opened their place and it was hugely popular for a very long time - with the lunch crowd.

Queen For A Day was filmed at Frank Sennes' Moulin Rouge, on Sunset just east of Vine - later that became the Aquarius Theater and it's now home to Nickelodeon network.

I recall seeing AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' there with my client, Nell Carter.

I also recall, when i visited Los Angeles in 1959 (right after I graduated from high school), that Sophie Tucker and Ted Lewis were doing an act together there.

I've always regretted not taking that one in.

Of course, being a minor then, I might not have been admitted.

My friends Bonnie and David have this 22-year-old cat that they adopted when he was 17. Bob is a wonderful creature and he let's you know it. Yesterday, Bob got attacked by a pitbull that Bonnie found herself wrestling with in order to save Bob.

The good news is that the pitball has been carted away and Bob spent a good night at the vet's. He's got painkillers and antibiotics and seems to be doing well.

I'm glad Bob is ok & the Pitt Bull didn't attack Bonnie.

I am puzzled: what exactly is Bob? A 22 year-old man? animal? if so, what kind?
Thank you. I modified it. He's a cat.

LOL. I wondered why DR elmore asked. ;)

Finally back home with new back tires.

I'm home from having the tires rotated.

I discovered I do not like buttermilk ice cream. The caramel apple tort with the ice cream was yummy.

There are all sorts of shapes of bundt pans & two different styles, that I know of, with roses. I should have quoted John's question regarding dessert suggestions as posting was done in-between his question & my response.

A number of people responded. :)

We had a solemn Maundy Thursday service, in which Fr. Richard preached about foot-washing. We had some dinner at Bob Evans and are now settled in our hotel.

I'm just catching up on last night's posts.

DR TCB, how bizarre to have a dyslexic doctor who doesn't have someone check what he writes. That is the craziest thing. And scary!

I apologize that I referred to the doctor as dsylexic. That was my explanation for her mistake, not the reality.

The disciples were hardly strangers to Jesus. Jesus washed their feet to show that the master is equal to the servant.

It's also my favorite of the shows, which makes it harder to write about. But I'm tired now. So, I need to have a dream before I can get back to reality.
