Pajama party can either be Saturday or Sunday night - whichever works best for the most amount of people.

I vote for Sunday.  I'm ushering on Saturday for Kate Clinton.  She's doing a one-night-only (a Dreamgirls reference) show here in Olympia and I get to see it for free!

And JRand...nothing personal, I swear! ::)

Evening all!

I'm sorry I didn't say goodnight last night--I had a phone call and just didn't make it back.  It seems I pass for what is considered a computer guru in these parts.  Ok.  You can stop laughing now.  

Bought the very last and I do mean last (or so the ticket lady told me) seat for Jesus Christ: Superstar at the Sunday matinee.  I really want to see if this turns out to be a quick draw Jesus like the first time I saw the show.

As for Disney films, I would very much like The Scarecrow of Romany (sp?) Marsh.  I LOVE that movie--I still remember part of the song:

On the Southern Coast of England,
There's a Legend people tell,
'bout the days of old when the Great Scarecrow
Would ride from the gates of Hell.
And laugh with a fiendish yell.

With his clothes all torn and tattered,
Through the black of night he's ride
from the marsh to coast like a demon ghost
(Ack Memory failure at this point)

And laugh till he split his side.

Scarecrow, scarecrow, the soldiers of the king feared his name
Scarecrow, scarecrow, the countryfolk all loved him just the same.

So the king told all his soldiers,
"Hang him hig or hang him low.  
But never return till the day I learn
He's trapped in flames below"
Oh they’ll hang, the Great Scarecrow.

That's about all I remember.  Not bad considering I think I was a teen the last time I saw it.

Karma.  Ahh well.  I never could keep straight who I had given it to but I never knowingly took it from anyone either.  

One last flight of the Karma fairy for old times sake?

Swishy and Danise:  There are "Left Behind" movies, too!  I have the first one on VHS.  It''s well done, but it presumes too much on the part of the viewer and it lacks an emotional punch it desperately needs.

Huummm.  Is this a read the movie, see the book kinda thing?  Sometimes I think they should leave a book alone.  I'll have to check the movie out.

Danise, don't you HAVE a book or two to read???

Yes, sir.  I do.

 However, I had to give up on the PDA.  They've been sending us sideways/couch buses (which make me ill--I need to face forward) but with the bus moving back and forth and the text moving back and forth and my eyes moving forth and back, my stomach wanted to join the party and go up and down if you know what I mean.  Somethings in that mix had to remain still.  I chose the book and my stomach.

I just printed both books out and read the first 60 pages on the ride home tonight.  

You have a very easy reading style but I have to tell you, I would know it was you even if you had used a pen name.

Well, that's my news.

I heard we have another female Goddess.  Yay!  But is it getting crowded at the top?

I started to watch Images with a selected scene commentary. However when you do this you only see the 25 minutes or so of the movie that Robert Altman commented on. I rather have no commentary that just selected scenes.

And did anyone ever read  'In Search of Unicorns' by Susannah York which plays a part in the film Images?

Now I would love to see 3 Women which he made a few years later.

Mr. Altman's charms have, unfortunately, always escaped me.

Is it true that Yma Sumac was really an ex-housewife named Amy Camus?
That's one story.  It was started by some musicians, and Walter Winchell wrote it up in one of his gossip columns.  But I seriously doubt it.  For one thing, her four and a half octave range would have made such a ruse unnecessary.  Why bother with a made-up history when the talent alone would have made her a big sell?  Second, I don't think she was known for singing anything other than Peruvian stuff.  Wouldn't an ex-housewife be singing other things?  Like "Old Man River" and "Glitter And Be Gay," in a medley?

By the way, she's apparently still around, living in Los Angeles somewhere.

I've either just got back from LOTR ROTK or just read yesterday's posts. They both took about the same time. Break time for me before I face today.

DR Jane & Ron: I was certainly not disappointed and I was certainly not aware that Sam and Froddo were crying too much! I was amazed at the inventiveness of the Battle scenes - they did not see like LOTR TT revisited.  I was also pleased to see the endings as I remember them. It would have been too easy for go for just one. The very first scene was a total surprise - a great way to start. (I thought I was about to see "A River Runs thought It").
Dan and Archie: Great news.

For what it's worth - I didn't even notice the Karma stuff was missing until I read in a post!

I somewhat remember the music, from their original pressings on vinyl.  My mother had a couple of them, but I don't remember her playing them very often.

The SONG OF THE SOUTH DVD I have was released by Disney in the Phillipines.  It is uncut, in English and plays on USA DVDs.  There are some text extras, but not all the extras that are on most other Disney DVDs.  I can't find the address, but look in the classified ads in publications like "Comic Buyers Guide" and other magazines devoted to comics and animation.

It's a shame that Eisner refuses to release it in the USA, but until he does this is a damn good substitute.
