It'll be right with us.

Okay, someone rigged this right? This is a joke, right?

At long last page five.

I will single-handedly take us to page six and I don't care WHO knows it!

I found my original first attempt at writing the opening of Benjamin Kritzer - most interesting. The Susan Pomeroy character was introduced in an early chapter before I knew that her story would be the entire last half of the book.

I have a question; kind of a Ask Free For All Day Question Day:

Are there currently three versions of CABARET's libretto and score available for production? I was only aware of the original 60's version and the 1998 revival. Last night, I saw a production that included "Maybe This Time" and "The Money Song" (actually both of "Money Songs"), but that also include "Why Should I Wake Up?" and "Meeskite," both of which I thought had been cut from the revival. I was confused which version I was seeing.

The last time I saw CABARET at a local community theater, it had the dark look and skanky atmosphere of the 1990s revisal, but it had most of the material from the original production except "The Money Song" ("Money, Money" was used instead and "I Don't Care Much" was also in the show), and I asked the director which script he used. He took me over into a corner of the theater lobby and whispered that they rented the rights for the original show but incorporated other things into the show that they wanted from the latest production. Totally against the rules, of course, but he begged me to say nothing.

Of course, I wouldn't tattle on them, but they sure were taking a big chance doing that, and he knew it, too.

Got most of my Sunday chores done except for cleaning the guest bath which I'll do when I go back downstairs.

I began my afternoon of viewing with STUDIO 60 from Thursday night. I had finally dsecided to record it and check it out with the thought if it was crummy, I'd just erase it without watching all of it.

It was pretty crummy. Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford didn't appear in the episode at all! What was up with that! Timothy Busfield and Allison Janney were basically the stars of the episode. Amanda Peet wasn't on at all either.

Steven Weber had a couple of scenes. There was a bomb threat at the studio (the real bomb was on the TV screen), and the episode was about everything going wrong that could go wrong on a single night.

Those of us who do theater have done shows like that where for one night, everything goes wrong. But having lived through some of those, I just couldn't laugh about it. I suffered for the poor people involved.

Next, I put in another episode of ANGEL. This one concerned a girl who had an electric current running through her body and who could electrify anyone who touched her. Interesting the effect it had on Angel.

Next came the MGM version of MADAME BOVARY. I've always enjoyed this movie, and I certainly did like this DVD incarnation. Apart from a few light scratches and a particle or two of dirt, it looks simply wonderful, very sharp and with excellent contrast.

And, of course, that Rozsa score has long been one of my favorites.

I finished up my afternoon of viewing with the first 25 minutes of SILK STOCKINGS. I got through the "Stereophonic Sound" number.

I hadn't watched this in quite a few years, and it's an excellent transfer. Very natural Metrocolor, and nice and sharp. Good 5.1 surround sound, too without it being overwhelming.

Matt H. · « **Reply #134 on:** May 27, 2007, 01:40:19 PM »

I'll finish SILK STOCKINGS when I go back down. I'll do another ANGEL episode tonight. Otherwise, I think I'll watch something on Blu-ray: I may rewatch ENEMY OF THE STATE or maybe FANTASTIC FOUR.

I've been maniacally organizing and boxing up crap that I'll take out to the garage so that in five years I can go unbox it and say, "Wow, I didn't know I had THIS!" But, I'm overrun with papers and junk and I can no longer stand it.

elmore left without so much as a how do you do.

I'm going to head down now and get that guest bath cleaned. May try to read another chapter in the Henry VIII book before getting back to watching DVDs.

elmore, you babe in toyland, post something before madness sets in.

Well, I was back and now I'm back again! I'm waiting to hear from DR Jose on where he and DRs FJL and singdaw are having dinner.

FJL · « **Reply #140 on:** May 27, 2007, 03:15:49 PM »

Xanadu was cancelled. News at 11.

FJL · « **Reply #141 on:** May 27, 2007, 03:18:17 PM »

So Jose and I did a little shopping, then sat at the Marquis Hotel lounge overlooking Broadway to kill time until we were supposed to meet singdaw (4:40), then had to wait for the waitress to bring us our check - an apparent trend for Jose this week - so we ended up late to see singdaw after killing time for an hour and a half. That's irony.

FJL · « **Reply #142 on:** May 27, 2007, 03:20:48 PM »

I joined Jose and singdaw for a train trip up to 72nd Street, we sat in the park where I had a fruit beverage and fruit-type snack from Levains, eating light because Skip and I are having a big dinner around 7. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

FJL · « **Reply #143 on:** May 27, 2007, 03:22:30 PM »

Then I went home to help get the place ready for our dinner guests (and of course catch up on HHW, very easy today

), while Jose and singdaw went uptown towards Larry's place, and that's the last I've seen of them.

I'm home. I have to say last night was totally insane. I think I left out when they started squealing their tires around 1:00 AM or so. After that my mom came downstairs where I was to see if I was asleep. She had been watching out her window to make sure they didn't damage anything, I was watching out the downstairs window and we found out later my nephew was watching out the guest house windows. Of course we were all in the dark peeking around the shades and didn't know the other two were peeking out and watching. I bet it would have been funny to see a video of each of us.

Must get to page 6 before the dinner party
