Title: KILLER RABBITS
Post by: bk on October 05, 2005, 12:08:02 AM: Well, you've read the notes, you're on the lookout for giant mutant killer rabbits, and now it is time for you to post until the killer kows kome home.

Post by: Jrand73 on October 05, 2005, 12:12:34 AM: You can lead a Horticulture! But you can't make her think.

First post - huzzah!
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Jrand73 on October 05, 2005, 12:14:10 AM: Anyway.....I am sure the DRHISAKA appreciated your playing host to her visit to a FOREIGN country, and I can't imagine a nicer LA tour guide.

DR CP you are correct OUT OF THE PAST is a very good Mitchum movie, but Jane Greer is not a passion of mine the way Jane Russell or even Lizabeth Scott can be. Remember Liz and Mary Astor as mother and daughter in DESERT FURY?

Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: bk on October 05, 2005, 12:20:21 AM: Of course, I meant giant ANIMAL movie, not just giant BUG movie.

TOTD "The Andromeda Strain"

Oooo...I loved this movie. ;D Also, "Godzilla." I've only seen the version with Raymond Burr and I didn't care at all for the Matthew Broderick remake. The story was just dumb. :P

There are others, but I can't think of any at 1:07 a.m. PDT. Maybe later.

Post by: Ben on October 05, 2005, 04:02:35 AM: Oh, my this here site has been exceedingly difficult to access this morning. Just going from page to page to read the posts has taken many minutes and I got the "too many connections" error at one point (I'm the only person here right now!) and I also got "page cannot be displayed" a couple of times.

Oh, well. I'm here. Me thinks it will be a slow news day at HHW what with Mr. BK off on business and half of our posters wandering around Manhattan getting an education in food and New York history.

In spite of the fun planned for today, I still have to work. Bye for now.
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Ben on October 05, 2005, 04:37:07 AM: I see Danise. I wonder if she's able to post. Is the fish ready???
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Danise on October 05, 2005, 04:39:58 AM: I'm up! I'm up! In fact, I've BEEN up since 6:30 AM but I could NOT get on the board. I finely came down to the business center because I didn't know if it was the internet connection of the hotel or the board itself.

I haven't seen anyone else up and about as of yet.

I am SOOOO looking forward to today. I just wish there was a way that we could ALL be here.

Gotta scoot--

I'll be in the breakfast room if anyone is looking for me. At eight or so we are all (that is if DR Jane gets up) heading over to the meeting place.

I have my PDA and wi fi card. I shall attempt to post along the way, if the board will let me on.

This is Danise Hegerty, reporting LIVE and IN PERSON in NYC!!! ;D

Laters all!
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Ben on October 05, 2005, 04:52:28 AM: Roving correspondents and everything! It will be quite a day in lower Manhattan.

Things seem to be a little better getting on board.

Good Morning Jose.

No sign of our late night/early morning friends Larry and Tom. Perhaps they were here and gone already. Perhaps they had trouble getting on.
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: JoseSPiano on October 05, 2005, 04:53:36 AM: Good Morning!

No... You are not dreaming. This is DR JoseSPiano posting before 8:00AM EDT.

Hmmm....

Does "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" count?
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: JoseSPiano on October 05, 2005, 04:55:57 AM: ...And was there ever a live action version of "Clifford"?
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: JoseSPiano on October 05, 2005, 04:58:53 AM: Well, as DR Ben pointed out, I shall indeed be responsible for some of the errant and truantness today. So, yes, You can blame Jose.

;)

And on that note, I must ready myself to head down to Rockefeller Center.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Laters...

Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: FJL on October 05, 2005, 05:57:40 AM: Hi Jose and everybody -

Looking forward to having as many of the group as want to come over for happy hour (5-to 6-ish, right?) and a rest from your wanderings! There'll be really good food (mostly not kosher, despite the holiday) and drink - Skip makes a great host, I'm only OK, but Skip makes up for that. :)

Could you guys give me a half-hour (or 20-minute) warning before you guys get here? And please let me know at that point approx. how many people it will be so that we can let the "guard" downstairs know in advance.

It's Manhattan Plaza, home to many many stars of stage, stage and screen, but you WON'T be seeing any of them (unless they happen to be in the lobby), just little old us.

And anyone not doing the walking tour (Elmore? Ben? Anyone else?) you're of course welcome to stop by also. If you can come and need directions, my AOL address is dylan43rd.

See you laters,
Fred
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: elmore3003 on October 05, 2005, 05:58:53 AM: Good morning, all! With DRMBarnum out of my hair, I mean visiting the wonderful TPunk and Rodzniski, I slept a bit late this morning. I've got a day of personal business here in the apartment, so Chicago Humanities Festival, Ms Leslei Uggams, and Toyland are on hold today.

DRDanise, I think it's great we'll have a reporter on the case today.

DRCharlesPogue, I too prefer Mr Mitchum to Ms Garbo; my favorite film is NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, which seems apropos for a giant rabbit day.

TOD: TARANTULA
THEM!
THE DEADLY MANTIS
EARTH VS THE SPIDER
THE GIANT CLAW
MYSTERIOUS ISLAND
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: FJL on October 05, 2005, 06:01:34 AM: Topic of the day: Hands down, ALLIGATOR, about an alligator that mutated after being flushed down the toilet and entering the city's toxic sewer system. A really good movie, though, so maybe it doesn't qualify. I think someone had posted the art work from it a few weeks ago.
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Matt H. on October 05, 2005, 06:51:38 AM: I like some of Miss Garbo's films and I like some of Mr. Mitchum's films. There is no need to choose, at least not for me.

Favorite Garbo - ANNA KARENINA

Favorite Mitchum - NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Matt H. on October 05, 2005, 06:52:51 AM: Good morning!

It is a very overcast day here, but I can once again feel the humidity building as the temp rises toward 80. However, there is supposed to be a steady dropping of highs and lows by the weekend, so fall seems definitely to be here.
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Matt H. on October 05, 2005, 06:54:14 AM: I did take my walk this morning, and the breeze that is present offset some of the humidity in the air.

In a little while (a ONCE UPON A MATTRESS reference), I must get cleaned up for my DVD shopping excursion.
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Matt H. on October 05, 2005, 06:56:11 AM: On the topic of the day, I think I've mentioned many times that TARANTULA! is unquestionably my favorite giant bug movie. I think THEM! is probably a better film, and both of them scared the daylights out of me as a kid, but now, if I'm going to watch a giant bug movie, I pull out the videotape of TARANTULA!

Hey, Universal! how about putting this out on DVD!
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: elmore3003 on October 05, 2005, 06:57:12 AM: Okay, now that DRMBarnum is out of here, I have to begin fumigating - spoo, laundry!

BTW, DRMBarnum seems to have left a pair of underwear behind, so I'm happy to send the briefs to the highest bidder. If the bids are too low, I'll give them to DRJose for Christmas.
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Matt H. on October 05, 2005, 06:58:42 AM: Would THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN fit into this genre?

The spider and house cat DO become giant creatures once he starts to shrink!

That's another film that NEEDS to be on DVD!
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Matt H. on October 05, 2005, 07:01:28 AM: I read this morning that NBC has given MY NAME IS EARL a full season order. That makes the second show this season which has been picked up for the entire season (Fox's PRISON BREAK was the first).

Although I have been E & T to an extreme degree, I will be joining the New York contingent today, somewhat late, but definitely for dinner.

I am going in to the city to see a friend I haven't seen for over twenty years--whom I met, FJL will be interested to know, at the BMI Workshop. After that, I will give Jose a beep to find out where all of y'all are and try to intercept you.

Gotta catch a train.

Ciao for niao, as Jason is wont to say.

Happy New Year. We're off to second day services as I had to work yesterday. Blecch.

Haven't completely read the posts over the past few days, but does anyone else think that Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers and "Darren's mom" Mabel Albertson were separated at birth? Oy, the eye liner.

I remember seeing this in a drive-in, shortly after we moved here to Washington! We moved here in late 1976 and there used to be a drive-in in town...but no more. Now it's a Fred Meyer.

And someone mentioned RIVER OF NO RETURN. I rewatched it a few days ago on the HDTV. The color has faded a bit from it. I'd love to see a real restoration job done on it.

All four of Marilyn's songs in that movie are treasurable.

I'm congested. Have been for about a week. I'm hacking up some gross stuff every morning (sharing is a WONderful thing!).

I'm apparently not the only one, either, as some co-workers are hoarse and congested. We don't feel sick, necessarily. But we're producing more than usual amounts of phlegm.

Again, sharing.....

Just wanted to jump in and tell you that we are having a wonderful time and that cell phones are a great thing when people get lost from the rest of the group! Trust me on that one.

I know I've eaten more then my share of all kinds of goodies today and am still hungrey!

Don't know if you saw us on the Today show. I tried Bruce. I made a sign that said "What is it, Fish? HHW, Hi Bruce!" but I don't think it made it on air. Sorry.

Gotta continue with the tour!

Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Charles Pogue on October 05, 2005, 10:43:48 AM: Farewell, My Lovely is wonderful. Mitchum is the quintessential Phillip Marlowe for my money. I wish his Big Sleep had been better and not set in London. I blame Michael Winner for that.

Jose led us to a "toy store" in SoHo. Yep, a kitchen supply store, the Broadway Panhandler.

I'm in there, just looking.

Der Brucer comes in, and in just two minutes finds a toaster exactly like what he wants...and it's on sale!

OK, after a few minutes more I found myself a great kitchen scale with a tare function, but it figures der B would find a toy he wants quicker than I could.

Post by: Jed on October 05, 2005, 02:32:57 PM: October is shaping up to be a wonderfully theatre-filled month around here. After closing Charley's Aunt this past weekend, DG Ann and I will be seeing Suessical at Seattle Children's Theatre on Saturday afternoon, followed by seeing our very own TCB in My Fair Lady at Tacoma Musical Playhouse that same night. The following Saturday night we will see a good friend of mine in The Last 5 Years at Leavenworth Summer Theater (even though it's not quite summer...), and two weeks after that we see Sweeney Todd at the 5th Avenue in Seattle. I love it!

Post by: Ron Pulliam on October 05, 2005, 02:43:10 PM: I am very ANGRY!

Can you spell ANGRY?

M-o-o-n, that spells ANGRY!

I pre-ordered "Cinderella" MONTHS ago.

I've waited and waited and waited. Amazon promises it will ship within 24 hours if you just order it right now.

They've had it since yesterday.

My order for it, among others for later this month and next, clearly is designated "ship as item becomes availalble."

It HAS NOT shipped.

OH, NO!

It's linked -- SOMEhow -- with the release date for the 3-DVD "Wizard of Oz" set. It's being HELD to ship WITH "Oz".

I'm very ANGRY.

I'm also LIVID.

Can you spell LIVID?

M-o-o-n, that spells LIVID.

Nasty e-mail was sent to Amazon.com customer service...yeah, you betcha!

And usually when I order something as a pre-release it is shipped the Saturday before and I have it on Monday or Tuesday.

It's not the first time this happened with a pre-order.

Something is wrong within the online ordering system, apparently.

I joined their "prime account" club which, for a $75 fee, gives me 2-day delivery and free shipping for a year. It was paid for within a month.

I expected that DVD to arrive as early as today, but not later than tomorrow. As it stands, I have no idea when I'll get it.

I wants what I wants when I wants it! That's my trouble, that is.

Post by: Ann on October 05, 2005, 03:17:40 PM: This has been a crazy day at work!

Amazing what happens to a daycare facility when just three teachers call in sick. Suddenly the structure seems to be crashing down, as we desperately try to shuffle kids and teachers around to stay in the state-mandated ratios. God help us if we don't. I was supposed to leave early today for a doctors appointment...my boss practically got down on her knees to beg me to reschedule. Since the doctor didn't charge a fee, I obliged. I must say, I think I earned some major brownie points today :)

So now the early shift teachers are starting to leave, and we're running out of options. I have toddlers in with my infants, and when my co-teacher leaves in 10 minutes, I'm not entire sure WHAT I'm gonna do...it should be interesting!

P.S. Glad to see that DB Jed has hooked us up with MFL tickets. What a wonderful month of theater this is turning out to be :D

It was great to see Woody, Der Brucer, and Bill Orr again. I adore Cillaliz, with whom I did not get to spend nearly enough time, I've know Ginny for years, and I feel I've known Michael, Danise and Jane for that long as well. I dearly love them all. As for my usual New York cronies - Ben, Rodzinski, TPunk, Jason, FJL,and our newly-immigrated Jose - who could ask for more supportive friends and partners-in-crime? Such great folk, and now I want to meet more of you.

So enough mush already. I had nachos supreme, a lot of guacamole, a seafood burrito and the two drinks that knocked me on my ass.

Post by: Matt H. on October 05, 2005, 08:07:17 PM: I hate to mention CINDERELLA knowing that DR Ron is rightfully angry about Amazon's inept handling of his account.

But I must say that the movie does look simply spotless in the presentation. Other than its aspect ratio, there is nothing that would give it away as not having been made yesterday. The enhanced home theater mix is another sterling achievement.

As we were mentioning yesterday, CINDERELLA is a perfect pleasant entertainment, but it doesn't have the excitement or danger that SLEEPING BEAUTY has, and, of course, the richness of design and color aren't in the same category either.

But given what they had to work with, the movie could not look more glorious.
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Matt H. on October 05, 2005, 08:09:14 PM: I also finished MISSION IMPOSSIBLE tonight before watching CINDERELLA.

I guess Paramount isn't going to touch this again in standard DVD. I guess we won't get a real anamorphic version of the movie until Paramount releases a high definition version of the film. I guess I'll have to be content with what we have.

I can't even begin to tell you what a wonderful day/evening I had. Tales were told. The dish was dished. We laughed. Oh, yes, we laughed until we could thought we could no more then laughed again.

We ate. Oh yes, we ate until we thought we could eat no more and then we ate some more.

We walked. Oh YES, we walked until we thought we could walk no more (and I have the aches and pains to prove it) and then we walked some more.

We took pictures. Oh yes we took...well I think by now you are sensing a pattern.

Thank you to DR FJL for allowing all of us into your home. In case I didn't tell you, that was very nice of the both of you to set out such a nice spread of cheese and wine and grapes and everything else.

DR Elmore, I'm an even cheeper drunk then you. One sip of your drink and I'm out of it. Of course, I'm so tired right now I don't think I was ever with it to start with!

Have a GREAT evening all. I am going to bed.
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: Matt H. on October 05, 2005, 08:11:35 PM: After finishing CINDERELLA, I put on BYE BYE BIRDIE, the 1963 movie version of the show. Never one of my favorite movie musicals, I was also a bit disheartened when the credits came up after the title song because the color looked really weak, and I wasn't too sure about how sharp it was going to be.

Once the credits finished, though, the film looked just fine color-wise and in an enhanced transfer, it was plenty sharp.

I got right up to "Honestly Sincere," but then I had to stop it to watch LOST.

Post by: Matt H. on October 05, 2005, 08:14:47 PM: I won't put out any spoliers about LOST, but did want to mention there was one terrific surprise tonight.

Why thank you dear elmore, I adore you too, next time we'll have to make sure we have more time to spend together.

Today was wonderful. The Today Show, the tour, a brief break from the group to get together with Rupert, then back with the group in time for happy hour with Skip and FJL and off to dinner at La Cocina. This has been so much fun and I have to say I've had a wonderful time with each and every one of the DRs here in NYC. I feel relly lucky to know such a wonderful group of people.

The wireless internet doesn't work in my room and I'm too tired to sit and edit photos in the lobby/breakfast area, so I shall post photos another day.

A very very special thank you to DR Jose, you did a marvelous job of planning, tour guiding and being an all around really great guy. You're the best!

Thank you to all the DRs who joined me on my trek across Manhattan today. I hope all of you are taking some time to rest your feet right now - and don't forget to stretch a little bit before going to bed. And drink water.

I really had a wonderful time spending time with all of you, and getting to each of you a bit better.

The gals at the Inn left me to take an evening walk on my own. In all fairness Cillaliz walked much more than the rest of us.

I'm stuffed, ate way too much today and my jeans are too tight but I couldn't resist eating a little of a gingerbread man cookie I purchased earlier today. Gosh, it was a grad day and evening.

FJL you dissapeared before I could hug you goodbye. Once again, and please tell Skip, it was delightful to relax and visit at your place with the grand view and the darling sweet dogs.

I had such a good time with all of the visiting (and resident) HHW gang. DR Jose really outdid himself with the planning and scheduling of the tour today. Kudos to him. I hope you get yourself something real purdy at the Panhandle.

I also want to commend (and thank) DR FJL and his DP Skip for inviting us to invade their lovely home and disrupt their lives for a while. Your graciousness and generosity were much appreciated and your company was greatly enjoyed. And I absolutely LOVED Toby and Dillon.

So much food was consumed today by so many of us that I think that tomorrow there may be a mandatory ration throughout the City of York that is New. We had doughnuts, pudding, marzipan, halvah, gumbo, cupcakes, tofu, peanut butter tarts, cheeses of all sorts and God only knows what else. Some of the treats that I consumed were graciously purchased for me over the last couple of days. I won't name anyone by name so's to avoid embarassing anyone, but they know who they are and I am VERY grateful for your generosity.

And thanks to DR TPunk for being my walking mate for much of the day. It was really nice to get to know you better.

One of my roommates works at Origins, and today just happened to be the day where they get their "freebies" from the stock. One of the freebies was a tube of their "Leg Lifts" lotion. Oohh... Aaahh...

...Now I'm ready to walk another 5 miles!

Post by: FJL on October 05, 2005, 09:25:21 PM: As I mentioned to Jason, we had seriously considered having a plate of carrot sticks during the happy hour in his honor. But we weren't sure whether it was worth it just for a joke.

In retrospect, i wish we'd done it. :)

Post by: JoseSPiano on October 05, 2005, 09:25:46 PM: Before I forget - and since I suspect I may be in a little bit of a rush tomorrow morning before I head down to Ripley-Grier...

DR MBarnum - Have a wonderful time in Queens. Hope you find many more things to take back with you to Oregon. -And, while you're in that neighborhood, be sure to try some Indian food!

It was a pleasure getting to you know you over the past couple of days, and you were the perfect "follower" to this "leader". (No comments from the peanut gallery... a.k.a. DR elmore.) I was more than happy to be your guide to my new home city. During your next visit, we need to make to get you to see a Broadway show. And get you to Splash on a Friday night.

:)

Have a good and safe flight back home.

Ah, yes.. Amanda just sent me an e-mail regarding the early demise of her show. I think I will be going Friday or Saturday night. Wanna come?

...Oh, and I guess that means I won't be subbing in for it then...

If it's Friday night, sure! I have plans to see a production of HONK! in PA on Saturday.

Have a good and safe flight to Atlanta, a good conference, and a good and safe trip back home to Ohio.

Who's doing Honk!? Is this an MTI-sponsored trip?

-And I hope your "Cinderella"/Amazon.com woes are resolved soon too.

Yes! He made it! A very tired, slightly snookered DR Jose...

Well, I wasn't that tired... But I was slightly snookered, so ya' got that right.

Post by: JoseSPiano on October 05, 2005, 09:36:19 PM: And to those out-of-town DRs who will be in NYC for a few more days, feel free to call me if you need a restaurant suggestion. Or a cool walking tour up and down the East Side.

Once again, the people on this site continue to amaze me with their generosity of spirit and kindness - both on-line and in person. We truly are a couple of swells.

And on that note... An A - prime octave...

Goodnight.

Post by: Jason on October 05, 2005, 09:51:06 PM: Jose: Friday it is.

I'm not sure who is doing HONK! I just know I'm supposed to go with a friend from work.

I'm in the middle of emailing those two song files to most everyone per the instructions of DRs Elmore and MBarnum.

Post by: bk on October 05, 2005, 09:54:03 PM: Back from a VERRRRY long day. Need to sit on my couch like so much fish for a few minutes.

Just because there is a big gathering in NY, NY, does NOT mean we slack off on the postings.

Ron, I had the same problem with amazon - ordered on Monday, used Prime second day shipping - should have been here today. Yesterday, it hadn't shipped, so I wrote them and they sent me some BS e-mail how there was a prob and they're working on it. I called them this morning - calling is the ONLY way to get them to do anything. The gal cancelled Monday's order, placed a new order today, and gave me free one day shipping, so I'll have the stuff tomorrow, or so I've been told.

I see that Mr. Orr has arrived home safely. :)
Title: Re:KILLER RABBITS
Post by: William F. Orr on October 05, 2005, 10:19:04 PM: One o'clock in the a.m. here on the Island of Long, and I am back from a fabulous day in New York with all sorts of lovely Hainsey/Kimlets. A full report later from me and others.

I will, however, point out that DerBrucer and S. Woody White and I gamely walked from 43rd Street to 85th with Jose and others, whilst some of the youger wipper-snappers chose to ride the subway.

When I arrived home I found that my Joe had done all my usual evening tasks, set up the morning coffee, even laid out my clothes for work. He only forgot one thing. He forgot to eat. Fortunately I found some left-over tuna casserole in the frij at midnight for him.

He was touched by all the hugs that you and you and you and you sent him via me.

And now I will hit the pillow, as I must arise at 5:00 for work.

P.S. Larry, who was the high bidder on the underwear?

MY FEET HURT!!!!!

I shall work on some pictures and post them tomorrow (i.e in a few minutes)
