I was also going to mention that JOURNEY'S END would be closed by the time DR MBarnum arrived in NYC.

There's always RENT!

I spent a glorious afternoon with the wonderful 1935 version of LES MISERABLES. I hadn't seen this in at least 20 years and maybe 30, and I was entranced from beginning to end. Terrific performances, grand production values, and a good condensation of the story for the screen. Superb!

Well, I know that Karen Carpenter recorded it before the show opened in London, but I don't know if the recording was commercially "successful."

That's what I had in mind.

Ah, I memention that the transfer was OK. There were some scratches, and it wasn't razor sharp, of course, but imminently watchable. I couldn't place the actress playing Fantine though I knew that I knew her. Of course, it turned out to be March's wife Florence Eldridge. She looked really young, and I geuss that's why I just wasn't placing her.

Because I have a long list of Academy ratio pictures lined up to watch for the rest of the day, I took out a Brosnan/Bond picture to watch - TOMORROW NEVER DIES, filled with widescreen explosions and chases. So much fun.

When I saw this in the theater, the print was so washed out that it appeared to have almost no color at all. Seeing the DVD, it's still on the drab side, but at least there are flesh tones that look real.

I'm guessing THE BLACK ROSE will be my next film of the day which I'll start when I go back down.

Back from a walk-through at the Alex - what a gorgeous theater, and it's going to work really well for us. Then had a working lunch with Cason and we budgeted the entire show, which came in exactly where I'd predicted it would.

Julie Covington (UK singer) had a #1 hit in the UK and Australia with Don't Cry For Me Argentina.

Richard Carpenter's expensive production for Karen bombed totally!

The reason albums were called albums is they used to come in albums (hmmm....) with several 78s per "title."

Singer/Songwriters of the 1970s (Time Books)

Thanks for the reminder, Der B.

I add to my list:
Arlo Guthrie
Cat Stevens
Elton John
John Sebastian
Todd Rundgren

But where in the h377 is Randy Newman?

Don't fire until you see their albums.

That was an old saying in the recording business of the old west.

I meant to mention this morning that I got an Amazon ship noticed for THE CLOSER! Not supposed to come out until Tuesday, but it shipped this morning from Amazon.

I'd love to hope that it would get here by Saturday so I could enjoy the season 2 episodes over the weekend, but knowing how my mail carrier does not like to deliver packages on Saturday and the fact that Monday is a mail holiday, I'm not really expecting to see it until Tuesday.

I always liked Carter as a person and was very disappointed in him after his anti-Semitic comments.

I wasn't commenting on Carter---just agreeing with him about our "President."

Heading down now to do some more viewing.

I cleaned the bedroom areas this morning, so since that chore is done, I have the time to fit in maybe another movie or TV episode.

Amazon.com seems to be having a bad week.

Or, I seem to be having a bad week and it's all because of amazon.com.

First, there was the cancellation of my pre-order of "Pigskin Parade" with a link to reorder it. Then I find out that my reorder will take 6-11 days to process. Amazon's explanation is that some titles are difficult to get from the companies that manufacture them, and it takes time...never mind that Fox home video also issued "Can-Can" and "On the Riviera' simultaneously, and amazon shipped them Monday.

Yesterday, I had a sudden urge to watch "That Touch of Mink" again. I wanted it in my collection. I went to order it...and got a notice that if I ordered within the next 21 minutes, I could have it today if I used "next-day" delivery for $1.99 extra. Since I get all my shipments via 2-day delivery...and shipping is already pre-paid...and I've more than gotten my money back using pre-payment for 2nd-day delivery, I opted to buy it using next-day delivery.

Do you know....it still hasn't SHIPPED? I'm still being charged $1.99 for the next-day delivery....but it's well past "next day" since I ordered it.

I'm rather steamed, actually.

I've sent Amazon.com a polite little e-mail saying as much.

Simon is on the list - 120 songs from 1920's singer/songwriters (twice).
