"Ooh" is going to be my new expression for 2008.  I've been using it so much lately.

Unless you have transferred it to CD, that "irreplacable treasure" tape will bleed through with time

Good point, and thank you, DR dB.  It's on my "to-do" list!

I hate to reference another chat board discussion, but I must ask - am I the only one who finds Topol in the FIDDLER ON THE ROOF film (when he was 35 years old) sexier than Johnny Depp in the SWEENEY film?

Are those more the butch-type of "oohs"?  Or are they more closely akin to nelly-moment "oohs"?

I don't have a tripod, so my night shots are terribly blurred.  This is among the "better" and is of a front yard display outside Johnston town limits on the Saluda Highway:

DR Ron Pulliam - I apparently don't have a very steady hand, or was using too much digital zoom.  Most of mine came out that way, or worse.  Of course, having Zach tugging at my arm with his lead didn't help!

Well, considering the crush on Topol, probably the later.

Der B is right, only it's more a My Fair Lady "Ooh, 'enry 'iggins" type of "ooh" than a Fiddler on the Roof type.

Also more Eliza Doolittle "ooh" than a Nellie Forbish "ooh" - but still more nelly than butch.

Or is that more bitchy than butchy?

That's funny, DR dB!  Actually, a surprising number of planned photos were aborted by owners coming out of houses, and/or driving up at the crucial moment.  I felt too self-conscious to go ahead, and they probably would have been a bit weirded out as well.

Merry Christmas, y'all!

It's been very slow in the parking garage lately, so I had a lot of time the other day to draw a picture of my lunch. Here it is.



Einsteins says that that's Cherry Coke, but it sure doesn't taste like it to me.

Cherry Coke taste is relative, though.

Some pundits attribute Sweeney's fifth place because of being in only 1200 theaters, and they point out to its second highest per-screen average for the weekend.  ...  All that said, there's nothing wrong with its opening week gross - however, it's clear it will not be a record-breaker, which is what everyone, all these teenage box-office-following-theater nerds were saying.

The LA TIMES noted:

Quote
Star power propelled two films to solid openings in the $9-million to $10-million range.

The political romp "Charlie Wilson's War," with Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman, ranked fourth. Fifth was the gory musical "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," with Johnny Depp. Both opened in the upper range of expectations.

In this busy field, ST may well be everybody's second/third choice - so the numbers for the next two week will tell us if it has legs. It's hard to gauge what "word of mouth" might do. The film is nothing like the TV promos (which in only the last few days hinted that this slasher flick might have some singing).

The great hope is that the film will do well enough, financially, that producers will not be turned off on doing more stage-film musicals. I was envouraged that our theatre full of RENT look-alikes seemed to like the film.

Woody is doing missionary work - he loaned out both the Broadway CD and the hard cover libretto to the new bag boy at the the market.

The LA Times person should be fired.  A nine to ten million dollar Christmas opening is anything but solid, Jackson.   He's just repeating what he's being told by the studio flacks.  Dreamworks was HOPING for a twelve million weekend and coming up three shy of that does not paint a rosy picture.  The coming weeks will tell the story, although box-office, in this current way of things, is not known for going UP.
