We are experiencing a very nice rain here in Rehoboth.  Mikey made sure that I knew it was raining by waking me up while wet.  Not that I couldn't hear the rain.

Good morning to dear Esteemed, jogged, shipped, written, viewed, and non-waxed BK --

Continued vibes and congrats on the new book coming along so well!!  And I also wanted to make an offer of absolutely unselfish help ...........

If any of those "West-Hollywood, pumped, muscled, and chest-waxed" persons are cluttering up your yard, sidewalk, Living Room, or other areas -- why, you just call me and I'd be happy to just pile them up and get rid of them for you!!

The things I do out of admiration and good christian-jewish love and concern.  Oy !

Page Four Dance -

Your choice.  We can either dance to "Raining In My Heart," from Dames At Sea, or "It's Raining on Prom Nite," from Grease.

"Singing In the Rain" is a third possibility, but it doesn't have a charming soliloquy in the middle like the other two.

Well, let's just say it wasn't shot like anything from a Bond film.  It looked like something out of an episode of Alias.
Much of Casino Royale felt like a pumped-up episode of Alias, along with every other action movie of the last few years.


As in "...breathless action scenes for the sake of breathlessness and nothing more...?"

I found those scenes intense, overlong and way-too-incredible to believe fully.

BUT...I loved the new Bond...and think that Craig should remake all the originals.  "Casino Royale" was always problematic for the Bond producers...and look at what we got in the first filming!!!

And for the TOD :

DVD - "Infamous" which I think I enjoyed even a little more than "Capote."

CD -- I almost hate to admit this, but it is STILL the "Brain" CD in my car player.  

You know that you are sick, when you keep a little paper in the car to log how many times you actually do "Kimmel hands" and a look of terror on your face, at the end "stinger" of the "title song,"  "Now," and the reprises.  

My count?  32 so far.... and yes, some strange looks from fellow drivers if it happens at a red light!

Oh, OK...... "Kimmel hands" is what we dubbed the very wonderful pose that you can see a picture of on the booklet to the "Brain" CD.  The entire company, looking stage right and up, absolute terror on their faces, and the arms raised and the hands pulled backwards (as if to fend off unknown evil) .  

At a wonderful dinner at Genghis Cohen, we all figured that if Bob Fosse had his trademark "look" of hand movement in his shows, then our dear Esteemed Bruce deserved to have his own "signature look" and it became "Kimmel hands."

And i also loved last night's UGLY BETTY!

I also really dislike the story with betty's father's case worker.  It was slightly amusing when it began. But i really dislike it now.

But i loved her orthodentist, and i loved the storyline with betty and the accountant (henry) and his girlfriend.

And i also thought the stuff with the dress was hilarious.

Yes, as I said in the notes, when they're doing things that you can only do in a computer, then I'm done.  Jumping from metal platform to metal platform two hundred feet in the air - please.  I'm done.  Jumping from a very high roof to the ground below - ouch - broken legs or neck - but not a rollover and up and at 'em.  I'm done.  The fight between Robert Shaw and Connery in From Russia - I'm there.  I believe.  Even though it's fake, I believe because they believe and they're not doing a Hong Kong ballet.

I also remember the "strawberries" line coming from Tallulah, and I didn't watch the outtakes.  Maybe I'm mis-remembering, though.

Edi - Just wanted to make sure you saw that new discount code for Drowsy Chaperone, which is 5PLAY.  Alas and a lack, there's a lack of a truly substantial discount, it's $85 for a $110 seat, but it looks like you get the same seats for the discount as you would at regular prices.

Still, it's better than nothing! And way better than what I did before learning about this, which was buy at an inflated price from resellers!

I guess the discounts are getting chintzier now that schools are out for their various spring breaks and tourists are becoming more plentiful in NYC.

CD player - a trio of Van Dyke Parks discs and the Doctor Who soundtrack.

SWW, so glad you and Der B are enjoying the VDP. Relieved, in fact.

A composer who was trying to get the job scoring Ociee bought some VDP since I told him that's who I intended to use if the negotiations went well.
He wanted to hear VD's music. When he met with me again and I told him we had indeed secured the services of Mr. Parks, he almost threw the CD's in my face and said "Here, you can have these, I don't want them". He didn't like the music, and he didn't like, even more, that he didn't get the job.
