Haines His Way

DR JoseSPiano, didn't mean to mislead, but when I typed New York, I meant the state, not the city!  I'm in Westchester, but only about a half hour out by train.

"Let's go UP to Westchester."

What's that from?

Congrats on 5000, Dan the Man!!!

AND...on a totally different subject...

WHY has not Rita Moreno's "Googie Gomez" of The Ritz been preserved forever on silver disc?

It has been in this house. Everything's coming up Googie.

...preceded and/or anteceded(?)...

No. dear heart, "ante" means "before" (ante-bellum, AM); what you have is a postprandial stroll.

Or you could have your nosh succeeded by a walk.

I guess all this walking is what keeps you fitting into that size 1 "little-black-dress"

Sorry to read about DR Ron Pulliam's stomach virus. I hope tending to my friend Jeff (who has a BAD case of it) didn't allow me to send germs over the internet for folks to catch!  

STarted out the afternoon watching POSEIDON on HBO-HD. Not nearly as effective as the 1972 version for my money though, of course, it cost hundreds of millions more to produce. To be honest, I don't think the actors were nearly as personable a bunch as in the 1972 version. I actually found several of them very irritating and wished them ill, not what the writers and director would have wanted the audience to feel, I don't think.

I'll stick to the original version as a guilty pleasure. I don't really understand why they felt the need to remake it anyway.

Next I watched a couple more episodes from the BONES DVD set including the one where Booth's FBI friend (played by the always hunky Adam Baldwin) has to take charge of brennan's protection when Booth is almost blown up by a bomb. Superb episode.

Finally, I put in LOUISIANA PURCHASE. Made by Paramount in Technicolor, it has that brownish Technicolor look that all of Paramount's Technicolor films tend to have on DVD. Of course, Universal hasn't done any noticeable clean-up of the print they used for the DVD. The reel change markers are still there in glorious purple, and there are colored specks sprinkled throughout the first 20 minutes that I've watched.

Gotcha.  Well, if you ever come into the city, I have some bakeries I'd like to show you.

Is this a new euphemism for etchings?

Will we never get to page seven?

I picked up a cheap copy of Infamous - was this made at the same time as Capote and then held for release?  I find it almost impossible to imagine that two Capote projects just happened to happen at exactly the same time, just as I find it almost impossible to imagine that The Prestige and The Illusionist could happen concurrently.

Just heard DR Ben's review of The Fantasticks, and, as usual, "They Were You" made me cry.

I like that song also. I rented the soundtrack from the library. I also got Damn Yankees sound track that has Gwen Verdon and Tab Hunter.

Will we never get to page seven?

I feel certain it will happen.

It's Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance

I would guess CATS is Feet of Clay

I acutally got to see Micheal Flatley perform in Lord of the Dance  a number of years ago when the show came to Fargo. I was very surprised. A good friend of mnie at the time treated me to it.
