Then I put in THE AVIATOR. I didn't see anything wrong with the transfer. I wonder if critics of the DVD realized that Scorsese's color scheme for the first 1/3 of the movie was deliberately meant to resemble the old Kodachrome color of early color photo photography. After Hughes crashes in the beet field, the color transforms into the lush three-strip Technicolor look of the rest of the picture.

I was still terribly bothered by the horribly sloppy time continuity problems with Hughes' involvement with Hepburn and other Hollywood beauties, and I still insist Cate Blanchette just wasn't beautiful enough to be Katharine Hepburn despite her accurate vocal inflections and carriage.

A phone call interrupted my screening, so I still have about 40 minutes more of the movie to watch.

Hi Ginny, looking forward to meeting DH Richard

Shall we plan a Thursday trek to the Cloisters and the neighborhood of DRs TPunk and Rodzinski?

Here's another welcome for new DR jhvw!!

As a former Dear Reader used to say, Welcome to the Cookie Jar!  What flavor are you??

(I have no idea what that really means, but the "Cookie Jar" reference is from the musical Anyone Can Whistle ;))

I'll be finishing THE AVIATOR when I return to viewing. If there is time, I'll watch the next MR. MOTO in the box. If not, perhaps the Winter Olympics figure skating finals for the ladies.

I finished boxing up most of my musicals on CD (I say "most" because my niece has a couple).  I have eight boxes...of just musicals! ;D

I'll probably have just as many boxes of all my other CDs.  Then, it's on to my DVDs.  After that, I'll take them to the storage unit and that'll be it for today.  

My mom is making dinner tonight (I don't know what), and I have to drive my niece.  But that's not until 6:00 or so, so I've still got time.

No! You have gorgeous shoulders! And a dress that shows them off is perfect for your special day. The Wedding is all about the Bride - whatever makes you feel special and beautiful and worthy of all the attention is the order of the day!! Oh, BOY!!! Shopping for a wedding dress!!! (I wore so many beautiful gowns in various operas and operettas, and especially in Doll's Life - maybe that's why I never married???)


Probably, because there wasn't anyone worthy of you!

Sounds like a plan. I talked to DR jhvw about it and he's up for it. Then we see Drowsy Chaperone that night.   We'd like to spend some time hanging out in Chelsea and the Village at some point.

Thanks for the welcome! I guess I'll tell you a little about me. I'm about to turn 23, I'm still working my way through college. My aunt was VERY kind to invite me to New York with her so I'll actually get to meet some of you. I'm really looking forward to it. Where I live there is pratically no culture, music, or arts to speak of. Pretty boring. Humm..not exactly sure what to throw out there for you guys so I guess I'll come back later.

DR Cillaliz, did you take the trip you needed to take to do what you had to do at an airline ticket office?

Our nice neighbor across the street just brought us 3 lovely fresh, homegrown tomatoes.  DS Rob and I are going to have bacon & tomato sandwiches - we'd have BLT's but we don't have any L.

Yup!  Yesterday I drove to Sioux Falls, went to the ticket counter and within about 3 minutes had the ticket.  We're on different airlines but I think American and United are both at the same terminal at LaGuardia.  I've got it arranged so if everything is on time. I arrive 8 minutes before DR jhvw and on the return his plane leaves 20 minutes before mine. That way we can go to and from the airport together.

Happy Birthday Stuart

I miss the Brothers Soloway but appreciate their reasons. Some of us just choose to deal with situations in other ways.

Steal the costumes? well, I have to confess to having taken one pair of shoes I had worn for over a hundred performances. I still have them, all these years later. They are now the Ruby Slippers I have onstage, down left, in every performance of Jewish Thighs...

Plus, I took a petticoat. I wanted to buy my wigs and that red dress... never heard of again after that show closed. sigh...

Penny O - Did I tell you I ordered my very own copy of Jewish Thighs on Broadway?  I hadn't realized it was on Amazon until George mentioned having you sign his copy. So I'm anxiously awaiting it's arrival

"Sunday, sweet Sunday, with nothing to do......"   Well, not exactly nothing.  DP Kerry and I have both managed to sort through some stuff and put it out to our curb, for our quarterly "solid waste pickup."  That way, the city makes it magically disappear this coming week sometime.

A big welcome to new DR jhvw !!

I'm always fascinated by some of the acronyms (or anagrams, or whatever the hell they are) user-names that folks come up with.  And 2 of the most puzzling at the moment to me are,  Cillaliz , and jhvw .  I guess it is possible that the latter (nephew) maybe drives a small german car, but beyond that I'm stumped.

Oh dear, stuck again between a conundrum and a cul-de-sac !
