Well, you've read the notes, the notes prayed for and praised Rosemary's Baby, novel and film, and now it is time for you to post until the devil cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: FORFICATE!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Love the word of the day.
-
good morning to all
-
continued vibes for all
-
I love Rosemary's Baby - the book was on the bestseller list for a LONG time.....
DR JMK - The Rifleman was on ABC not CBS as that press release states.........
-
We saw Rosemary's Baby on a double bill at the drive in with The Odd Couple......
It was quite the evening of entertainment.
-
GLEE was okay last night - even with the truncated versions of songs from WSS - which made me want to watch the movie, which I may do tonight.
DR JOSE obviously that nurse didn't know who are you.....you should have just told her you were a famous Broadway pianist - but be very careful how you pronounce that on the telephone.
-
Well, look who the cat dragged in...
Konnichiwa from Tokyo, y'all!! How's everyone doing??
-
Jason! I just saw you on Book Face!
-
:-)
-
My niece and her husband are in LA for the launch of the new video game that the company they work for makes.
They had a big party at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Olympic last night at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant and then a concert by Jane's Addiction.....fun! ;D
Bethesda Games is owned by Linda Carter (Wonder Woman) and her husband who are both very nice people, and nice people to work for. ;D
-
And now I am off to Zumba.
see - the title of the Notes!
-
I recall that they did a sequel to ROSEMARY'S BABY as a television movie.
Rosemary (played by Patty Duke?) disappears about 15 minutes into it, then the rest of the film centers on her grown son.
Frankly, I don't remember much about it...except that one scene takes place in a shul.
Question:
Was this film adapted from Levin's book...or was it another writer's concoction?
-
Morning greetings to all. If you're in need of vibes for any reason, consider them vibed.
-
Hi, DR Kerry. :-)
-
Wednesday morning greetings! It's a drizzly fall day here in SW Ohio.
-
Hi, DR Jason!
-
Ohayo gozaimasu, DR Ginny-san!!
-
Rosemary's Baby is certainly a brilliant film. I've seen a HD TV broadcast of it which looked vastly better than the DVD. It's high time a Blu-ray version came out.
I must read the book. I've never read any of Ira Levin's novels.
-
Pan Am starts on BBC television next week. As a keen flyer I will have to watch it. One thing which looks daft is having somebody play a pilot who looks about 20 years old! But then everything has to be slanted to appeal to the young nowadays.
-
And the word of the day is: FORFICATE!
And The Song Of The Day Is: FLAMINGO
-
DR Doug R - several of us here will be interested to hear your review of PAN AM.
-

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. There will be no sparkling prize.

True ROSEMARY'S BABY Story Department: My mother was aghast when she found me reading ROSEMARY'S BABY (which she of course had purchased to read). She tried to take it from me and I went ballistic, at which point she said, "All right, but if you have any questions, ask your father." My only question (as hilarious as it was) was the fact that I had never seen the word "buttocks" printed before and was confused by it momentarily. I was taught to read phonetically and had ass-umed (ahem) up until that point that that word was spelled "butex". :)

Levin wrote a sequel, Son of Rosemary, which many people found somewhat confusing.

I am so used to doing my own HTML coding for Blu-ray.com, I try to do it here, and it don't work. :)
-
I remember reading THIS PERFECT DAY in my Doubleday Book Club edition when I was quite a young child. I don't think that was ever made into a film.
-
I also remember how excited I was to see DR. COOK'S GARDEN show up on the ABC MOVIE OF THE WEEK, after having read about it in William Goldman's THE SEASON.
-
I am listening to 55 DAYS AT PEKING. I think I'm up to about day 36.
-
Do any of you who are more or less of the same vintage as I remember a LIFE Magazine that featured photos from all over the world taken on one day? Do you remember what that issue was called? I'm doing a review and I need to have that info. Thanks.
-
Found the LIFE. 1974 A Day in the Life of America.
-
So sad to be all alone in the world.
-
DR JMK - I'd been working on your question and gotten as far as DAY IN THE LIFE, but kept bumping into the Beatles song. Guess my reference librarian skills are getting a little rusty!
-
BK, I assume you know there are two great CDs available of Komeda's score. The newer one has a bunch of his demos playing the piano. I'm pretty sure I mentioned it here a long time ago.
-

I've already cited The Beatles, was moving onto other media LOL. Thanks, though.

Maybe someone can figure out what review I'm working on from all of these clues. ;)
-
Just by chance I had just gotten the huge new 75 Years of Life coffee table book (50% off at B&N!), which has every Life cover as an appendix. Betsy was insisting the issue had come out in the last few years, LOL. As it turns out, she was actually recalling a book series her parents had had.
-
This new Elmer Bernstein LP I got has the oddest interpolation into his MOCKINGBIRD Theme, a choral section that I don't believe is in any part of the actual score (I'll have to get the album out again and listen to it to make sure).
-
It's a bizarre little Lydian riff that is oddly reminiscent of THE SWEETHEART TREE.
-

The original score album on the äva label had a choral track. It was done especially for that album.

It's probably the same track, then. Were Ava and Mainstream corporately linked?
-
I just looked and all I have is the rerecording on CD.
-
Roast mules.
Just because.
-
BK, did you go for somersault or soulmaster?
-
That can even be my Ask BK question.

I think it's a matter of Mainstream buying the äva catalog. IIRC, äva was a Frank Sinatra-owned label...named after Ava Gardner.
-
Is it the Main Theme with a choral "B" section? That's what this one is.
-

Don't recall. I believe the choral track was on the B side of the LP, however.

Well go home right now and check. I'll wait. ;D

I actually just bid on the LP on eBay.

Ummmm......I'm pretty sure that LP is in storage.
If what you have is on the Mainstream label, it's the same recording in the same sequencing.

No, I'm talking about the Bernstein "easy listening" album I mentioned several days ago that has him doing his own themes and cover versions of others (like MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY).
-
Ohhhhhhhh.....it's probably a variation of the same thing.
-
Anyhoo....
-
My followup visit to my dental surgeon took all of four minutes.
-
I think I am the only person in the world who has not seen the film ROSEMARY'S BABY.
-
DR JMK, as hard as I have tried, I never became a fan of THE RIFLEMAN tv series....even when Joan Taylor was in the cast (I like Joan Taylor).
-
I dropped PAN AM from my viewing...as well as 2 BROKE GIRLS, CASTLE, and RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. I also dropped Betty White's tv series. It isn't that I disliked any of these shows, it was just that with adding THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM and KRAFT SUSPENSE THEATRE to my recordings, I was simply watching TOO MUCH tv and thus getting nothing else done while I was at home.
I will stick with the remaining season of THE CLOSER, and I still watch MODERN FAMILY and THE OFFICE and this season's THE AMAZING RACE. Also holding onto this season's SURVIVOR, as it is a pretty entertaining one, for a change.
Will likely not watch this season of SOUTHLAND.
-
Just to be clear - the TV movie sequel to Rosemary's Baby had nothing to do with Ira Levin. His sequel was written back in 2000 or thereabouts. Most people really didn't like Son of Rosemary, but I enjoyed it just because I enjoy his writing so much. It wasn't confusing to me, because I "got" where it was going the minute he mentioned a certain film she was watching on TV.
JMK - somersault, because soul master is really two words, although so is roast mules, but I think he says it should anagram out to one word.
-
I got up at nine-fifteen, so I got eight hours.
-
Answering e-mails right now, and then I shall jog.
-
Follow-up vibes for DR Ron Pulliam!
-
There is the oddest rattling sound on the right channel of only the LOST HORIZON cuts from this new Bacharach CD I got, as if someone was violently shaking the studio door trying to escape. :)
-
I think I am the only person in the world who has not seen the film ROSEMARY'S BABY.
I believe it was remade as a Bollywood film, ROSEMARY'S BABU.
-
Today's menu: Baked beans and fried tomatoes on toast for breakfast; ham and cheese panini for lunch and spaghetti bolognaise for this evening. I hope that meets with approval.

This (http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Life-in-a-Day-Blu-ray/31126/#Review) was why I was Day in the Life obsessed this morning.

The extras on that site are kind of fun

I watched about 30 minutes of ESPN's coverage of the Penn State mess while I ate my lunch and found it sad and depressing. Then, when I returned to my computer I found this perfect antidote:
Operation: Hail (http://lsa.umich.edu/alumni/wire/ci.operationhailtue8nov2011_ci.detail?tr=y&auid=9806721)

Off to do some errands - bye for now!

Yep, Eddie Murphy's out as host of the Oscars.
-
The national test of the EBS was really exciting. Not.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And I've been spending some quality time with a photo-copier this morning.
-
And now that I'm starting NOT to see white flashes ;) I'm going to head out for a bit.
*Interesting storm warning for SoCal right now. Apparently some major system could be moving in over the area this weekend.

You are incorrect.

Dear BK,
Today I was in the car listening to the news on the radio. They were blathering on about Dancing With the Stars and about Nancy and such as. Why in the world does reality television get top billing on the news?
-
From DR Laura:
Jane: Electric blanket.
Years ago I forced myself to stop using electric blankets, they aren't all that safe & I read they mess with ones system. I think it is true as once I stopped using the electric blanket I wasn't as cold as I had been, still cold but not as bad.
-
From DR cilla:
Do you have a down comforter? I have mine under a quilt and it's really warm and toasty
Yes and we put a second one on top of it last night. It was difficult to move though. This morning Keith figured out how to get the heat back on in our bedroom. He just returned home with a couple of portable heaters for our offices and with luck we shall have a new heating system installed on Friday.
-
DR cillaliz, what did you think of last night's elimination on DWTS?
(i was happy).
And who are you and your mom cheering for?
I am happy with the final 4. I really like JR/Karina. But i also really like Derek/Ricki.
-
DR Jose good news about your mother and I'm wishing her CONTINUED HEALING VIBES!!!

I admit CASTLE had a slow beginning this season but it has gotten good again.

:o
I know, I know...I need to rectify this...of course I haven't yet seen THE MALTESE FALCON or CASABLANCA, either.
But when you have a shelf load of films with titles like LURE OF THE SWAMP, INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN, and CONFESSIONS OF A SORORITY GIRL I am sure you can see why I have been remiss in catching up on all of the classics.

I was still enjoying CASTLE, and I will catch up with it either in reruns or when it is on dvd. It is a wonderful program, but I just don't have the time to watch it each week.

DR MBarnum: I love "The Rifleman"...grew up watching it and yet I still enjoy it in re-runs.
DR Jane: "Rosemary's Baby" is one of MY favorite films. I'm sorry it upset you.
Apropos of nothing else being talked about:
"Unforgettable" get better and better! And last night's "NCIS" was one of that show's finest offerings, IMO. And it was Part 1 of 2...something I usually dislike, but when it's done this well and the part 1 is so riveting I find myself anxiously awaiting next week's part 2.

It's more mind-boggling than that, Doug.
We once had a "what are your favorite Gregory Peck films?" TOD and MBarnum confided that he didn't believe he'd ever seen a Gregory Peck film. I think it was Peck. If it wasn't, it was someone equally notable.
Earlier this year, he posted:

Laura, because the news is no longer news - it's puffery and about ratings only. The intellect of this lovely country we live in has reached an all-time low and they just pander to it.
-
I had some lunch, did some errands and whatnot, picked up two packages (amazon package wasn't there - it will be at some point today), and now have to rush and get ready to go to rehearsal - we had to move Alet up an hour to four.

That was part of the problem. The DVR fills up so fast when you record these shows in HD, so no, I am not recording Castle. The DVD of this season will be out soon enough, and I can rent it then and catch up on the rest of the episodes.

As a matter of fact.....you know I have recorded it several times, but then never got around to watching it and deleted it from the DVR. I think there were too many episodes of Mr. Ed that I had to catch up on at the time.

Oh I have indeed seen and enjoyed Gregory Peck...it was probably George C. Scott you are thinking of.

I am working on a big project for this weekend, which seems to involve other people changing what I am supposed to be doing every few hours, which is communicated by email. So today, while coming home from our walk, I told my DH that I needed to check my email to see what fresh hell awaits me. I thought Elmore would be proud.

I keep forgetting to mention that Cynthia Myers, star of the cult classic BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, passed away a few days ago.
I met her about 3 years ago and she was absolutely wonderful and sweet!

Craig laughed at the little heater next to me & I admitted it isn't helping much. As soon as I stepped away from my computer I knew how much warmer I was with the little heater blowing on me. I should have continued doing laundry which also kept the room warmer, possibly better than the little heater.

LOL-would love to DR JMK. I'm going into the bedroom soon & read. I downloaded two books onto my Nook today. It seems to be feast or famine with the library.
-
DR JMK it was almost one year ago I did stay with you.

I just noticed I need to correct the time clock here.

Testing-it should be 6:09.

I don't know how to correct the minutes so I'll accept 5 minutes off.
-
You'll be telling us you haven't seen CITIZEN KANE next ;D
I've not seen "Citizen Kane" or "Casablanca." I've made it a goal while I'm over here to see both, so they're in my iTunes library waiting to be watched.
-
I think I am the only person in the world who has not seen the film ROSEMARY'S BABY.
nope I have never seen it either
-
although I have seen (and in fact own VHS(!) copies of each Casablanca and Citizen Kane
-

Hi Jason! Welcome home!
-
Konnichiwa, DR Laura! Arigato gozaimasu!
-
Aw, thanks. Happy Birthday to you, too!
-
Aw, thanks. Happy Birthday to you, too!
Hahaha!!
-
Soooo, Jason -- what have you been up to?
-
Oh, you know...just flitting about Japan, singing a few tunes with a big ole' orchestra and sightseeing. The usual. ;-) I'm in Tokyo this week...we were in Hiroshima and Osaka last week. Tomorrow we start our performances at Tokyo International Forum - it's a 5,000-seat venue, and we have four sold-out shows there this weekend as well as a sold-out closing performance in December. So in the next three days, I'll get to perform for 20,000 people. Crazy, huh?!?!
-
DR Jason, it's been great to flit around Japan with you, via Facebook!
-
DR Ginny - thanks! Unfortunately, many of the photos I've posted on the Book of Face were deleted last night when I tried to clear out some space from my computer's hard drive. :-( I uploaded all those pictures from iPhoto to Facebook, and when I deleted the pics from iPhoto, it also removed them from the Facebook albums. So now I have to decide if I want to go back and repost all those photos or not... :-\ Thank God I backed up all those pictures, though!! I would be heartbroken if I'd lost the actual picture files.
How was Europe??
-
DR Jason, our Europe trip was fantastic. 5 days on our own in Paris, a week-long river cruise from Nuremburg, Germany to Remich, Luxembourg, and a couple of days in Reims, France, and it all seems like a dream. We've been home 2 weeks now and sometimes I can't believe we were really there.
-
Ginny-san, I feel that way about Japan! I still can't grasp the idea that I was in Hiroshima just a few days ago. And Sapporo may be the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life. That, and Kyoto. I still have to pinch myself sometimes to make sure I'm really here!
I'm so glad you had such a wonderful time. Germany is lovely, but I don't remember much of Paris, honestly. I was so young when we were there. :-\ Did your DH enjoy it, as well??
-
Yes, Richard was revisiting places he'd been to 40 years ago when he was stationed in Germany in the Army.
-
How excellent!! My grandfather was stationed somewhere here in Japan during the Korean conflict. I hope to find the town where he and my grandmother lived and visit it, but I'm not sure how easy that will be...depends on how far it is from Tokyo.
-
DR cillaliz, what did you think of last night's elimination on DWTS?
(i was happy).
And who are you and your mom cheering for?
I am happy with the final 4. I really like JR/Karina. But i also really like Derek/Ricki.
We are both glad that Nancy is gone. It was time.
I"m cheering for JR and Katrina and I think that she is too
-
DR Jason, good to see you here!
-
Thanks, Cilla-san!!
-
Did I mention we didn't get any rain or snow? The weather man said that we've had .90 inches since August 9th....we are way behind. The rest of Iowa got rain or snow...what's up with that?
-
Had fun at band tonight. I'm actually enjoying playing the 2nd flute music. I always played 1st flute music which is often melody. I'm really enjoying playing more harmony. I used to be so competitive that I would never be happy playing second. Now I'm loving it. Who would have thought at age 50 I'd get out my flute and join a concert band, lol. For awhile tonight, while counting rests I just sat and grinned. A couple people noticed and smiled back. It was a nice moment
-
I just heard on the local news that we may see our first snow flurries of the season early tomorrow morning :P
-
DR Cillaliz, I'm glad you're enjoying the band!
-
'night!
-
Thanks Ginny.
-
Trying hard not to get any work done.
-
"Chitty" arrived today!
-
Night, all.
-
Back from a long but really good and fun rehearsal. I can see that I'm going to have to ride herd on the student actors - it's not their fault, really, they've never done anything like this before - but they are not retaining what they learn so at every rehearsal (well, we've only had three), it's like starting from scratch. But today they finally all brought something to record with so hopefully that will help, although they each have a CD with all the songs on them. Jose will have to have a couple of sessions with just them, just to deal with note values, cut-offs, and that kind of thing, because that's not something that it easy to understand when you haven't been trained. But they're awfully cute and work hard, and that's all I care about. I must have staged nine numbers tonight, including some real staging, not just walking - really fun stuff, I think, and as folks get off book I'll be able to add and finesse each number. But I was very pleased this evening.
-
Welcome fifty-five GUESTS!
-
Good Evening!
Well... My "mountain" is getting smaller. Or at least easier to climb. ;)

Today, I ushered for two, count 'em TWO performances of the tour of Spamalot, here in Olympia. The matinee had about 400 people and the evening show was practically sold out...the house holds 988 and the final count was 910. Both shows were quite fun and all the performers were very good. A great time was had by all. :D
