You must get "An Apartment for Peggy", then.

DR CP - wasn't Anna Massey in the remarkable PEEPING TOM as well?

Yesterday, DR Matt mentioned:

However, and I hesitate to mention this as it's been a very sore point with me, but the actor playing my son has quit again (he was cast, quit, changed his mind, and quit again), and we open three weeks from tomorrow.

Maybe what he really wanted was to be a Cagelle! (Better costumes, y'know!

)

What Peggy is getting is locked in the basement every time we have to leave for an extended time. And she don't like it!

Has anyone seen the made for TV Harry Palmer movies? I didn't know they existed.

Nor did I. And why would we want to watch a Harry Palmer movie without Michael Cain!

Why would anyone want to watch a film WITH Michael Caine? Blame it on Rio - no! Blame it on Caine.

I used to have the LP of the soundtrack of BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN, but I have never seen the flick.

Was it DRMS who mentioned the strange way TCM seems to be broadcasting Robert Osborne lately? I noticed it as well. Since the bumpers are usually taped in Atlanta, maybe they are sending them via satellite from LA for some reason or another....who knows? But it is very strange, and yes it looks like the news.

Good Afternoon!

Greetings from Richmond!

I'm ba-ack... Well, not really, but you know what I mean.

I had a surprisingly traffic-free drive down I-95 considering I left at 2:30. Even the usual trouble spot at the Springfield "Mixing Bowl" was trouble-free - especially considering how bad it looked on the noon news. The traffic reporters on the radio also seemed surprised that the traffic was so light. -Well, at least in Virginia, Maryland was having it's share of traffic woes.

But I'm not complaining, just observing.

Once back in town, I stopped by CVS to pick up some pictures I had dropped off earlier in the week. I shall be posting some later. I believe I had an Elvis sighting or two while I was in Memphis.

Oh, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

First, it was "Steel Magnolias"

Now it's Michael Caine!!???

"Funeral in Berlin"!

"Hannah and Her Sisters"!

"Educating Rita"

Three examples of some of life's GREATEST pleasures!

Aughghghghghghghghghgh!

DR Iris - I'm not sure I'll be able to catch Pacific Overtures at Signature Theatre since it will be running at the same time as Mamma Mia!. However, since my Mamma Mia! schedule may turn out to be lighter than original thought... but that's another story.

Frankly, I just have no real desire to see the show at Signature. After that Japanese production a few years ago, I don't think I would be able to truly enjoy - and judge - the production fully and fairly.

*I also find it a little strange that there's been none of the usual pre-opening press and promotion for this show like there usually is for Signature's big musical. I have no idea who is in the cast - although I'm guessing a good chunk of them were probably imported from NYC since the DC area is not exactly known for their Asian and Asian-American acting and singing pool. -Now if Mr. Schaeffer went non-traditional, well... Let's just say I'm not expecting to see Signature stalwart (and co-founder), Donna Migliaccio on the stage for this production.

Jane · « **Reply #133 on:** May 12, 2005, 03:13:06 PM »

Iris how fun to discover the music was live and not from an annoying neighbor.

Vixmom do you have special blood or just donate regularly? Bryan often donates his universally accepted blood.
Congratulations to the Vixter.

CP I’m very sorry the cuts were so severe. I will wait to watch the entire series.

...Oh, and the 10-packs of the mini candy bars - Hershey products - were on sale at CVS... 1/2 price!

Yes, Anna Massey is in the brilliant Peeping Tom - I'm almost ready for one of my twice-a-year viewings.

Back from luncheon with Miss Tammy Minoff (and her bro). Tomorrow we are meeting up with her money person, who will be helping fund this new play, and perhaps even a bigger venture that I have in mind.

Beautiful day here in the City of Studio. I've heard the entire album of mixes and the fixes all sound great (except for one instance where I lowered a vocal, which needs to come back to where it was). I have little nitpicks on about four of the new mixes we did yesterday, but it's all stuff that's simple and will only take an hour or so. I'm very pleased. I even did a potential sequence at Vinnie's, and while I already realize that certain things are not in the right place, it was very close. I think I only have to switch around three songs for it to be right.

Our host said no probs on their end, so whatever was causing the sluggishness now seems to have disappeared.

Now I think I will watch PEEPING TOM....

I am watching GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER? right now on TCM. Saw it many times on its original run...seemed to be a ground-breaking movie at the time. But then as now.....Katharine Houghton seems to be impossibly VAPID.

Michael Caine playing Michael Caine.. Just not for me RLP.
Don't forget "Beaches".

Caine was oh so wrong for "The Quiet American" .

Rita - Excellent Julie Walters.

I didn't mind Caine in "Cider House Rules" - Underplayed for a change.

Horse racing!!!

Final examination question: How would you solve the staging problems for a production of PEER GYNT?

Answer: Do it on the radio.

Jennifer for multiple reasons I don’t believe in leaving dogs tethered. Safety for one, plus it can make a dog aggressive if left that way too long, which I’m sure you didn’t intend.

WOW!

Just read the news reports of the retaining wall collapse onto the Henry Hudson Parkway in NYC - right near DR Rodzinski's neck of the woods.

I truly hope the early reports of no one being hurt or buried remain true.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #145 on:** May 12, 2005, 03:47:24 PM »

I think Michael Caine MAKES the MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Gee, Jose. That's the first I've heard of it. Yipes!

Today I ordered the DVD sets of Dasterdly and Mutley and their Flying Machines and The Perils of Penelope Pitstop which were released this week. I know these cartoon were on the cheesy side, but I adored them as a youngen (and I had a lot of fun watching the Wacky Races set.)

Two other Hanna-Barbara shows from the 70s I hope eventually get released: Where's Huddles (about a professional football player's family and friends) and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home (a generation gap comedy.) It would be fun to see them again.

[Jacques:]
Cinderelly, Cinderelly
Night and day it's Cinderelly
Make the fire, fix the breakfast
Wash the dishes, do the mopping

[Girl mice:]
And the sweeping and the dusting
They always keep her hopping

[Jacques:]
She goes around in circles
Till she's very, very dizzy
Still they holler

[Girl mice:]
Keep a-busy Cinderelly!
We can do it, we can do it
We can help our Cinderelly
We can make her dress so pretty
There's nothing to it, really
We'll tie a sash around it
Put a ribbon through it
When dancing at the ball
She'll be more beautiful than all
In the lovely dress we'll make for Cinderelly

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Gonna help our Cinderelly
Got no time to dilly-dally
We gotta get a-goin'

[Gus-Gus:]
I'll cut with these scissors!

[Jacques:]
And I can do the sewing!

[Girl Mouse:]
Leave the sewing to the women
You go get some trimmin'
And we'll make a lovely dress for
Cinderelly!

[Girl mice and Gus-Gus:]
We'll make a lovely dress for
Cinderelly!
