Where else on the internet could you go to find yourself visualizing a different meaning for the phrase "I'm in a pickle"?

I prefer the Papermill FOLLIES to the FOLLIES IN CONCERT. I think Papermill was beautifully cast. Elaine Stritch is an icon, but I loathe her "Broadway Baby." Maybe because I saw Ethel Shutta do it in the original, but I really don't like Stritch's version at all though I'll admit I'm in the minority as it brings down the house.

I also don't care for Carol Burnett's verion of "I'm Still Here."

Got my friend Jeff out of the hospital and comfortably tucked in at home. Just a really bad stomach virus that seems to be making the rounds in this area.

I also had time to catch up on all the viewing from last night that was recorded. I began with VERONICA MARS, and I guessed the murderer's identity correctly! Hooray for me! It's the first one of the four big mysteries that the show has had since it began that I've ever gotten right.

When it returns, there won't be any long story mysteries but instead a single mystery per episode. I'll be interested to see if that changes the dynamic of the show at all.

The other night, I watched an episode of LAW & ORDER: CI from season 2 that starred Lee Tergesen, and last night's episode featured him again (aplaying a different character, of course) as the victim of radiation poisoning slowly dying as the police scurry to find the killer. An interesting episode and very different vibe for this show. It was patterned after the famous noir D.O.A.

You're running a year behind, DR JRand. Foxx won two years ago. Philip Seymour Hoffman won last year for CAPOTE and he presenbted Best Actress this year to Helen Mirren.

Ah, I had been thinking along the same lines too.

LAW & ORDER: SVU had a very unusual episode as well. The central mystery involved a string of abductions in which men were being raped. Usually, that alone would have been enough for an episode.

But this one also included a much more interesting story involving Olivia finally tracking down her half brother whom she only recently learned existed. He's been under surveillance as a rapist (not connected to the other rape case above), and she's torn between supporting her new sibling and believing what the evidence is suggesting to her that he's guilty.

Next, I put in THE GANG'S ALL HERE from the Alice Faye box. I didn't start with the feature. Instead, I watched an included bonus film, the last one ever made by Faye in which she looked back over her career and offered a few highlights, made for the drug company (I think it was a drug company; maybe it was an exercise regimen) she was representing at the time.

Matt H. · « **Reply #221 on:** February 28, 2007, 01:44:47 PM »

After I finished that, I did start the feature and watched about 15 minutes of it. Already I can see the problem: one scene with exquisite Technicolor followed by one that looks rather washed out.

I think I read somewhere that the separation masters were long gone for the film, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised it looks like this.

No. The lucky ones get to grow old. Growing old is my goal. I just didn't expect it quite so soon.

Yesterday Mr. Barnum said:

Nope, Mikey, this old man doesn't have one either. Nor does Anthony. Three of us anyway. Something tells me Tom in Australia doesn't have a myspace page either

I have caught up with all the posts from Oscar Day.

I'm listening to Donald's show right now. A compilation of Company recordings. I have the new cast recording (even though I loathe the production). It sounds better on CD than it plays on stage, but when you hear the original cast recording against the 3 other recordings (Roundabout 1995, London 1996 and the new one), there is no question which recording is superior - and it AIN'T the new one.

I don't have a myspace either

Question for Jose - When someone (hypothetically, Jose) offers to take someone (hypothetically, Cason) on a trip (hypothetically, to France), are they offering just to buy that person a plane ticket, or are they offering to finance that peron's entire trip, soup to nuts (so to speak)?

In Jose's case, I am quite certain that he meant from soup to nuts!

Perhaps when Cillaliz is in town, we can have a discussion about how she is able to separate herself from the stress of her cases. Some days I'm good at that, other days just so so. I woke up with a jolt of anxiety this morning thinking about a case.

I go to New York and say take care of yourself for a few days I need a break

Seriously it's the hardest thing about my job and yours. Lets discuss it over an adult beverage. I sent you my cell phone

Oh, an YES I AM HERE!!!!!

It was an uneventful flight. The Omaha area could have close to a foot of snow by tomorrow when my flight was supposed to go so, I'm so glad I came today.

I love the Edison already. I checked in and the clerk said - "They have you in a tiny room, I'll just upgrade you to a king room, would that be all right" It's a great sized room for one person with a desk, a chair with a foot stool and the whole tv entertainment thingy. My room is really close to Broadway and 47th, so it may be noisy, we'll see.

Welcome to NYC! Again!

As for the noise level at the Edison - I don't think I ever had a problem with the street noise there. However, if you happen to be staying on the same floor with a high school group, well... In any case...

You are CORRECT....I am missing a year!! And of course PSH was the presenter.

Whew the world can go on.

Mystery solved. Of course I was the only one confused. As usual.

I don't have a myspace.

And if I did, the dogs would insist on getting on it, as well.

And Fletcher is danged heavy! He'd collapse the myspace and probably do damage to the other spaces around it. My myspace would turn into, I dunno, something like a black hole, sucking everything nearby down into a spiraling nothingness.

I am so not getting a myspace.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #235 on:** February 28, 2007, 02:06:00 PM »

Well, I think I'm gonna head out for a bit and stretch my legs for a bit. *All the walking I've been doing lately has really helped ease my sciatica which had been acting up again lately. Whew!

And with a big night of TV viewing tonight... "American Idol", "Top Design" and...

"Top Model"
