Posts that cross Michael. I didn't think you had a need to modify your post at all. Your request was quite clear.I was just adding a subthread! One of the major benefits of being here is to gather information and indeed to share it. I now feel a touch guilty (but not much) that you have spent time researching misleading information. Sorry.

Well, it must be my week for celebrity sightings. Two in as many days. Yesterday, I encountered Harry Groener in Costco (related in the last night's post). Today I am in The Golden Apple comic book store on Melrose, vainly searching for a Christmas gift for a friend, and who should walk in but Tom Waits, poet/balladeer/songwriter/occasional actor, and his wife. I am a big fan of Mr. Waits, his early work in particular. However, unlike Mr. Groener, I did not speak to him.

Isn't Mr. Waits married to Kathleen Beller? Or is she married to a similar type singer?

Apparently it was John Williams (with the Bergmans). No wonder I liked it. Melissa Manchester sang a beautiful version on the Academy Awards that year. I'd give anything (even my precious virginity) ;>) for a recording of her doing that song.

Why would anyone want an antique like that?

Blah, I say, blah.
I did not get my contacts...the eye doctor informed me that I have the worst possible eyes for contacts...and that to get them would basically be a waste of money. So blah on that.
And I have this wretched archaeology final on Monday to study for, and every time I read the textbook I fall asleep
Blah on that too
Blah, I say, blah

I know it was yesterday's topic, but what the hay! Another of the Oscar songs I don't care for is one you've been talking about today - "Never on Sunday." Now it fits the movie just fine, but I MUCH preferred "The Green Leaves of Summer" that year.

"This Land Is Mine" was made from the main title music from EXODUS.

If Jed becomes TCB in the future, shouldn't he be playing Clarabell by now?

Cruel, Noel, very cruel.

I don't know a lot of Michel Legrand music, but I love "Yentl," "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" and, although I've never seen the movie, I like the score (what I've heard of it) to "Young Girls of Rochefort." I haven't been able to listen to the score to Amour very many times, but that's one of my favorite new musical scores.

Of individual songs, I love Liz and Ann Hampton Callaway's version of "You Must Believe in Spring" and Elaine Paige's "The Windmills of Your Mind."

I had mentioned earlier that the song The Summer Knows (The Love Theme From Summer of '42} was written after the theme became popular. I am looking for songs that used the original film composers music. Not looking for songs that were inspired by movies like " Heartlight (Inspired by ET) The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde (Inspired by Bonnie and Clyde and the poem by Bonnie Parker. Also songs that were released prior to the films' release, but not in them in order to help promote film like Sink the Bismark and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.

Does This Land is Mine (The Theme from Exodus, lyrics by Pat Boone) count?

DR TCB, great minds think alike!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #101 on:** December 13, 2003, 03:53:29 PM »

Were the lyrics for "A Summer Place" used in the film? Same question for "Zabriski point" (There is a Roy Orbison song).

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #102 on:** December 13, 2003, 03:57:11 PM »

I believe Miss Beller is married...or was...to Bruce Hornsby, I have no idea why that name sticks in my mind, as I have never knowingly heard any of his music...But I remember they used to come into my neighbourhood bistro a lot. Anyway, she is definitely not married to Tom Waits. I remember her being something of a dish, however, back in her Sword and Sorcerer days.

DRJENNIFER, I did go that early to beat the crowds....and it was easy because I didn't go to bed on Friday night. I always go to Kroger's at 5 a.m. on Saturday so it wasn't much a leap to get to WalMart a bit earlier. And no DRMBARNUM they weren't having any particular sales, just the usual ones.

Are 24 hr Walmarts the norm?

I guess I find it really odd. Cause here stores are open 9pm to 5pm on Saturday (even at Christmas). I think some stores, like Walmart open at 8am. But nobody here shops in the middle of the night.

I am curious, how many other people were at the store at this time?

I Wonder If I Should Feel Guilty?

Last night Ann comes to see me in Oliver, and today her doctor tells her that her eyes are unfit for contacts.

Is there a connection? Did the shock of seeing what Jed will look like, when he grows up, destroy her vision?

That is because Canadians are afraid of polar bears after dark.

For DR Tom from Oz: I dunno the way it is written now, I truly had no idea that Tomovoz was you. Maybe I am just really slow today

Anyone wanna make bets on who wins Survivor?
I know I won't be happy.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #108 on:** December 13, 2003, 04:10:13 PM »

Is theatre now classified as a "contact sport"?. Looking at today's weather here it is most suitable and seemly to sing "Who will Buy?". A glorious Oz sunshine day. Hope all you perfomers out there have a wonderful night.

Ha ha. Too funny. Actually I was thinking that maybe her great review of you shouldn't count, since she probably couldn't see you

Even though Tomovoz's birthday is tomorrow for us normal folk, it is indeed his brithday today for him. So:

Happy Birthday, DR Tomovoz!!!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #113 on:** December 13, 2003, 04:45:08 PM »

LOL DRJennifer.....usually there are only a half dozen or so shoppers at WalMart that early. This morning there were probably 2 dozen - and lots of employees - I mean associates - working to get ready for later in the day. Most of our WalMarts, a few grocery stores, and some Drugstores are open 24 hours.

It is a bit like shopping in a Fellini movie - and I enjoy being part of it.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #114 on:** December 13, 2003, 04:50:58 PM »

Thanks TCB. A very big HUG for that. Back later.

Definitely not Hornsby. Whoever it is, I supped with them a few times. He's like Waits - but I'm drawing a blank.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #116 on:** December 13, 2003, 05:30:14 PM »

How does Thomas Dolby sound? Movie composer; probably why you supped with them...So was Ms. Beller still a dish when you supped with them? Whatever happened to her anyway?

She disappeared after a dinner with Bruce Kimmel and her husband.

I had a celebrity sighting on Thursday evening myself. I was at the Walt Disney Concert Hall for Mahler's 6th Symphony, conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas. Leaving the hall after the concert, I saw Michael Eisner. He looked rather spry, given what's been going on at the Mouse House over the last two weeks. I did not speak with him.

Last night I was at the L.A. Opera for a wonderful production of Lucia di Lamermoor. Anna Netrebko was Lucia and she was quite excellent in the role.

Tonight I hear the Pasadena Jazz Orchestra play the Duke Ellington/Billie Strayhorn arrangement of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker.
