Tonight, I started the evening with STARGATE. Although this is my friend Hal's favorite sci-fi movie, I realized that I had never seen it all the way through. The newest release of the film on DVD is wonderful looking for the most part (an occasional speck of dirt mars the image once and a while but not often), and the new DTS 6.1-ES soundtrack is mind-blowing. I had to lower the volume of my system for fear of either blowing out some speakers or cracking some window glass. Like the remake of WAR OF THE WORLDS, the bass was so deep and heavy and constant that I actually felt air from the subwoofer whooshing at me at certain points during the film.

Kurt Russell looked marvelous, BTW. A very entertaining sci-fi movie.

BK, is it possible that for future end-of-term presentations, it might be useful to do a revue, so that you can just say the-heck-with-those-people about the people who can't be trusted?

Next came THE PRODUCERS. I didn't see the film at the theater, so this was my first experience with the musical as a movie.

I saw all of the original cast on Broadway in this and loved it. On film, it's too broad, way too much of everything and everyone. Still, had I not seen it before, I would be SO grateful to have this as a souvenir of the show. No, the direction is not innovative or anything other than rudimentary, but it gets the job done. I didn't miss the songs that were dropped, though it was nice to see "The King of Old Broadway" in the deleted scenes. With it missing from the film, there is a long gap between the opening number and the next song.

I enjoyed the movie overall (the transfer is gorgeous), but I can see why it didn't go over any bigger than it did.

I gues for me the deep bass would be normal.. I could hear it properly..

Am I reading the stats incorrectly, or has what started out as a slow day turned out to be the highest posting day since the 200,000 plateau?

Did anyone buy the FAME first season DVD?

I bought it. I remember that I LOVED it when it was originally on. I've only watched a few episodes, but sadly, it hasn't aged well.

WE have a LONG way of posting..... but it could be since we hit the plateau

Billy Hufsey has not worn well either.. .He was on days for a while... YIKES

Today, I went to work for a few hours then met my friend Margo and her youngest daughter at Applebee's. I had their new Southwest Cobb Salad (Grilled chipotle chicken, shredded cheese, broccoli, diced tomatoes, shredded carrots, corn and black beans served on a bed of mixed greens. Finished with a side of cilantro ranch dressing, except that the cilantro dressing was not on the side...and there was too much broccoli

) and their new (to me) crispy bread pudding (Golden fried cubes of cinnamon-sugar-coated bread pudding are crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. Served with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with a rich caramel sauce). It was quite good. I must never have this again, or I'll never lose weight!

After that I went to Target and bought some small garbage bags (exciting, isn't it??) and when I got home, my sister's boyfriend was mowing my lawn and I don't know why! He's retiring at the end of the month, so maybe he's thinking about picking up a little extra spening money.

I thanked him very much (I really don't like to do any kind of yard work...never have, never will

).

George · « **Reply #317 on:** May 20, 2006, 09:50:47 PM »

Anyway, I checked my mail and I got the new Sunday In the Park With George. I've listened to the first CD (act one) and I think it's wonderful...so far. They use British accents for the first half (when they're all French) and have passable American accents in the second act.

I have had that salad.. It is good

I just heard a lyric change: in "It's Hot Up Here" at the beginning of the second act, instead of "And the baby has no diapers," they sing, "And the baby has no nappies." Interesting.

I've had the Applebee crispy bread pudding. It made my list when we were doing favorite desserts day here a while back.

With the Sunday CD, I also got the new John Bucchino revue, "It's Only Life[/b]." I have his CD, "Grateful: The Songs of John Bucchino. I LOVE this CD.

I also got the songbook and have performed a couple of the songs.

The word "diapers" is not used here in Oz either DR George.

According to his listing on imdb.com, he's 47 years old now and doesn't have any movie credits after 2001. But doing a quick Google search, THIS site lists a few things he's done since then.

Neither here.... in case anyone wondered!!!

We call them "langes" which rhymes with "anges" a pretty name when it comes to babies, no?!

Oh I'm sure you all agree!

I'm signing off now and will be back in a few days which should all give you a break, right? Of course right!

TCB.... you'll be in my thoughts! Courage!
