Bea Lillie as Mame Dennis? Shoe-show, shoe-show. Or maybe I am thinking...."SOY SAUCE!!!!!!"

Jay · « **Reply #61 on:** January 02, 2004, 09:45:44 AM »

Regarding the topic of the day, there are two actors whose work from 2003 was nothing short of astounding. I believe these two stand far ahead of the crowd:

Tim Robbins in Mystic River and Patricia Clarkson in both The Station Agent and Pieces of April.

Other performances of merit:

The entire Mystic River ensemble
Scarlett Johansson--Lost in Translation and Girl With a Pearl Earring
Ben Kingsley--The House of Sand and Fog
Johnny Depp--Pirates of the Caribbean
The two little girls in In America
Bill Murray--Lost in Translation
Omar Sharif--Monsieur Ibrahim
Olympia Dukakis--The Event
William H. Macy--Seabiscuit
Ellen DeGeneres--Finding Nemo
Ken Watanabe--The Last Samurai

Welcome to PennyO! Soon we'll have a reunion of the entire student body of Hamilton High.

J-Rand---
"Pick Yourself Up" was sort of a dance lesson in the show. It was used to show 2 perspective pupils how Penny could pick anyone and teach them how to dance. This was pretty much the same situation in the film. They never attempted a Gershwin feel since it was Jerome Kern (and about a dozen lyricists). The closest they came to the Fred and Ginger numbers were in the couple of ballroom dances, but there were dances in more styles... tap, jazz, Latin, etc. I'm seeing it again in two weeks.

I was not there for the following story, but allegedly the other night at GYPSY after Bernadette entered from the back of the theatre shouting "Sing Out Louise" some woman sitting near her turned and said "Shut up. This is a Broadway show".

Yes, Bea Lillie (I liked her more before reading the autobiography) as Mame Dennis.

Good Rosalind Russell zingers, JRand53: Some more: "Nuts!" "Beau?

" And the jumbled names during her 5-minute stint as a switchboard operator.

Hello, Everybody, my name is Ron....what's YOURS?

Happy day after new year's day!

I've been out and about. I've shopped. And now I'm dropped.

DRCharlesPogue: I'm with BK on "A.I." It's quite the opposite, for me, of everything you've ascribed to it. And for me, "Schindler's List" is Spielberg's finest achievement, followed closely by "E.T."

The only thing wrong with CE3K, to my mind, is Richard Dreyfuss. Way too pushy and obnoxious for an Indiana utility company worker! (That's for you, JRand, as well as the E&VT Lulu!).

DR MattH has a new picture up! I think he's having too much fun in it! Way too much fun! Must have been a very cute photographer!

I have an announcement: I slept with Ralph Lauren last night! That's right! You read it here! Ralph Lauren sheets and a Ralph Lauren thermal blanket and a Ralph Lauren quilt. Quite an excellent night, too!

Here is an annoying thing: I have my AOL spam filter on, of course. Spam still manages to get through, though. All other spam via the filter gets put in a folder. For fun, I looked in the folder yesterday and found eight e-mails which were not spam, but were for me from various people. Heaven knows what I've missed because of this. I'll now have to check the spam folder weekly.

It occurs to me that if we were to have an extraordinary posting day we could just cross over 16,000 posts today, but if not today then definitely tomorrow.

What are your choices? We often get movies late here. Of course we haven't been to a movie in awhile with Keith sick-maybe this weekend.

DRJENNIFER we will try.

I'm sure you're nice.

Sorry if that came out wrong. I really meant that one particular guy should be nicer TO ME

Oh and could people not take karma away from people who are very sad. Life is hard enough

Jennifer · « **Reply #73 on:** January 02, 2004, 10:51:51 AM »

Oh drats, no more Christmas Emily pic!?

I am so out of it today that I actually didn't connect the fact that DR Emily's new picture meant the other one that I love is gone.

I'm waiting for the Gold Diggers hit NYC stories!!!

Jane · « **Reply #74 on:** January 02, 2004, 10:52:08 AM »

M Barnum small worlds can be fun. :)Now I wish we were expecting a delivery from FedEx, though Allen didn’t make our last delivery. Will you now have advance notice of my deliveries?

Jed I hope they find your classmate.

Jennifer that is the lovely picture I saw, for a brief moment, yesterday. Glad you finally succeeded. I’m lucky I just have Keith post pictures for me.
Knowing it will take awhile, I wish you less sadness each day. I do hope you will continue to let us know how things are going.

Jason I’m still enjoying the pictures. I have been to NY a couple of times but haven’t really “seen” the city, just bits here and there.

Count me in as one who didn’t like AI. Having been a big fan of the book, Catch 22, I was terribly disappointed in the movie and have not watched it since it first showed.

Penny, note your Karma went up. I applauded your appearance. Be careful when clicking on applaud if you accidentally click on boo, the person’s karma goes down.

Echo awaits her walk in the beautiful snow, so quickly-Bill Murray, “Lost in Translation”. More later.

BK - I started checking my spam folder on a whim shortly after gettting AOL 9.0 set up. And I found some "This is not spam" e-mails. Thankfully, it's easy to click "This Is Not Spam" and then add the address to your Address Book. Of course, with some of the "corporate" stuff I get, they don't always send it from the same e-mail address, so... I check my Spam Folder every time I check my mail. However, I have noticed that it is "intuitive" after a while (like it says it is), and I'm glad they finally added a "word" filter... I do not need any e-mails with pnp, viagra, paris hilton (unless it's a hotel), etc... going into my e-mailbox...

Well, it's almost 2:00 and I still haven't left my computer... And I actually had some plans for today when I woke up -

?

Jennifer · « **Reply #76 on:** January 02, 2004, 10:53:25 AM »

Oh I have two dvds to watch today (actually one video and one dvd). They are silly, fun, movies, where I will not have to think. One is Daddy Day Care. And the other is Alex and Emma. I really hope the first one is very funny. I really could use the laughs.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #77 on:** January 02, 2004, 10:54:56 AM »

DR Diane - to hear the people here at my office two of the top suggestions would be either BIG MOUNTAIN or COLD FISH!

DR JAY is Patricia Clarkson the actress who played the neighbor/friend in FAR FROM HEAVEN? They had her so close in hair and costume to Agnes Moorehead in ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS/MAGNFICENT OBSESSION that I was distracted! And great movie performance choices.

I had forgotten to mention Johnny Depp's performance in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, and deGeneres' voice work in FINDING NEMO was such a great part of its charm.

D-I-T OMG- the telephone switchboard! "Widdicombe, Applewhite, Gutterman, Bibberman & Black!"

And of course...."What that man did to my bust!"

Here is an interesting treatis on AUNTIE MAME if you have the interest and the time.....

http://pcasacas.org/SPC/spcissues/23.1/wheat.htm

DR WEL - I am so embarrassed

- you can imagine! Thanks for responding to my inquiry. Jerome Kern! Well I am from Indiana and unless I post with a reference book at my side, I am liable to make those mistakes!

Jane · « **Reply #78 on:** January 02, 2004, 10:56:03 AM »

I had not read Jennifer lost karma before I posted the note to Penny. I’m sure Penny didn’t have a clue about applaud or boo.

Jennifer, your karma should have just gone up!

For you amusement here is a photo of me opening one of the gag gifts from my 40th birthday party.

My mom was in charge of taking photos, but alas she forgot to put film in her camera and didn't notice until the party was over! Fortunately my Aunt had taken a few shots and she sent them to me! LOL!

You think that was bad? A friend and I went to visit some other friends who were doing summer stock in Utah. We were there for five days and I was taking pictures the whole time. After we left Utah, we headed to Reno for the night. I wasn't until I was unpacking my suitcase and "taking the last pictures to finish off the role of film" in the hotel room that I realized that I had NEVER HAD PUT ANY FILM IN THE CAMERA AT ALL!

FIVE DAYS OF PICTURE TAKING and I never once even thought about changing the film. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Fortunately for me, I did have a disposable panoramic camera and had taken a few (very few) pictures with that. Small consolation.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #81 on:** January 02, 2004, 11:05:51 AM »

DRJANE - DRPennyO will not be able to add or subtract KARMA until she has reached 25 posts.

You're welcome DR JAY.

OMG DRGEORGE....I have an idiot camera that will not function unless it is loaded...or else....hiroshima, mon amour!

DR WEL - if only she would heed that advice! (This is my opinion only of course and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the management of this website or its other posters.)

Do they have souvenir books at SHALL WE DANCE? And could I send you some $$ to get me one if so?

Jane · « **Reply #82 on:** January 02, 2004, 11:18:29 AM »

I forgot to mention-all dog lovers should watch “Two for Breakfast”. The Great Dane in the movie even upstages Barbara Stanwyck.

Jrand53, thanks for the info.

Now I really have to get out of here.

MBarnum: I loved the 40th birthday gift. But those pictures dispel the myth that your previous flattering profile photo was merely the work of good lighting. Face it Michael, you are a damn good looking guy.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #85 on:** January 02, 2004, 11:24:42 AM »

"It was ghastly.....well it was JUST ghastly!"

That is terrible. But I can sort of relate.

My yahoo account has a spam filter too. And I sent myself something from my regular account (same name on both accounts) and they put it in the spam folder.

Hello, everybody...my name's Jason...what's YOURS!?!

I love everything about AUNTIE MAME. It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and I may just even watch it again later this afternoon. Now I'm viewing MARY POPPINS, which is another of my very favorites.

I'm a Choo-Choo girl from Choo-Choo Chow and how...
And how...
I'd love to Chin and Chew with you
And turn the skies to blue with you
(VERA: No...And turn the skies to blue with you...
MAME: That's it!)
And twenty-three skidoo with you...
Chi Chi Choo Chow Chow
And how!
And how!

And now I'm off to see THE GIRL WITH THE PEARL EARRING.

Goodbye! Goodbye! I shall always feel a strong attachment to you all...
