For Tom:

What is the story behind Federicci (sp?) the Aussie opera ghost?

TOD: The James Bond movies and the way they'd always do something artistic and clever with the females at the opening as they played the new theme song -- just saw (finally) Casino Royale the other day and was disappointed that they only used graphics ...

Good morning!

Back to hot weather now, so the A/C flipped on and off all night. I don't see that changing now for at least three months.

Mornin' DR Jeanne ~ Where are all the HHWers? You'd think it was a Saturday morning or something. Looks like just you and me in the joint -- unless of course there are a bunch of lurkers not posting....

I amend that cause DR Jeanne disappeared and two men took her place -- mornin' DRs Matt and Michael

I spent part of the morning continuing to wade through the enormous number of special features on THE LAST MIMZY disc. For a single disc release, this thing is crammed to the top with bonuses, and it also offers DVD-ROM capabilities for more content on the web.

There is a reasonably lengthy featurette on almost every aspect of putting this sci-fi film for families together. (And that's not counting the Infinifilm features that you can turn on or off as you watch the movie.)

Good morning, DR Miss Karen. My, you're up early.

Matt H. · « **Reply #36 on:** June 23, 2007, 07:44:50 AM »

When I finished with THE LAST MIMZY. I put DAYLIGHT into the player, and was just about blown through the wall with the enormous sound FOR THE CREDITS! I didn't remember that at all, but I'm thinking when I restart the film later, I might have to lower the colume a bit for fear of blowing some speakers. Universal has this cranked WAY UP.

Also, I want to finsh BILLY WILDER SPEAKS which I'll probably watch as I eat lunch. I can't be cooking while it's on because he speaks much of it in German, and I have to be able to read the subtitles.

Exciting news about The Brain and NYC -- as I've been hoping The Brain would be invited, I forgot all about the fact that it takes money to do this theatrical stuff -- especially those musicals.... Here's hoping all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place for you and The Brain, bk.

Matt H. · « **Reply #39 on:** June 23, 2007, 07:48:24 AM »

I've had THE MAN WHO LOVED WOMEN (Blake Edwards remake) on my to-watch DVD shelf for a couple of years now (bought used for a couple of dollars), but I noticed last night that Universal's HD Channel is now showing it in high def, so I got the DVR to capture it, and I'll probably watch it tonight after I finish DAYLIGHT.

I loved Julie Andrews in it, of course, and I remember Kim Basinger making a big splash at the time in this film. Haven't seen it since I saw it in the theater all those years ago.

Glad bk enjoyed THE SOPRANOS. I found some of the meditative stuff this season more interesting that the killings and mayhem, though I admit the murder he alluded to yesterday was one of THE highlights of the season unquestionably.

I also got fed up with AJ for much of the season (he's always been my least favorite Soprano), but I have to admit he did make me laugh with the way he could be SO manipulated by current trends and by the women he'd fall for.

Memorable opening scene:

MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS as the family parades through the kitchen offering tips on improving the ketchup.

BK ~ AND congrats on having The Brain invited to the festival. I saw on the fest's website that they got hundreds of scripts submitted for the open category, and only invited 18, so no telling how many were in the nominated/recommended category, so to be among the 12 invited from that category is an honor.

So way to go no matter what happens!!

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up!

...And since everyone in the apartment is working this afternoon, I should jump in the shower sooner than later... So...

Laters...

Good morning, DR Miss Karen. My, you're up early.

Hi DR Matt ~ Yep, places to go, things to do -- so I'd better get to it! Have a good one.

I've got some things to tend to myself, so good bye for now.

Yes, in fact I own TWO kurtas.....and I wear them on special occasions.

I would like to see a Jrand in a Kurta -- you must post a photo ...

Hi DR Jane ~ Is everyone delivered safe and sound? And how is Sherlock of the Giant Paws? You must post a recent photo.

Miss Karen · « **Reply #49 on:** June 23, 2007, 08:18:40 AM »

I sure want a lot of photos these days, huh? -- it's just I need some visuals...

Miss Karen · « **Reply #50 on:** June 23, 2007, 08:20:33 AM »

Now, I really must scat, scram, scamper away...

Jane · « **Reply #51 on:** June 23, 2007, 08:24:47 AM »

DR François, thanks for the Betty Hutton clips.

DR elmore-Good news your office will stay put for awhile longer. More vibes a new office is found soon, and it is better than the ones you lost.

Jane · « **Reply #52 on:** June 23, 2007, 08:28:56 AM »

Hi Miss Karen. Everyone was delivered safe & sound, I think the cat is still sound. They arrived in Pittsburgh a just before 1:00 this morning. Yogi, the dog, was thrilled to see Ioana.

I do need new photos of Sherlock. We will have to take some of him this week. He is such an amazingly GOOD puppy.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #53 on:** June 23, 2007, 08:30:35 AM »

Good Morning! once again....

DR Jane - Good to know that Ioana and her cat made it safe and sound to Pittsburgh.

*I actually know an "Ioana" here in NYC, but she American-Indian not Eastern European.

JMK · « **Reply #54 on:** June 23, 2007, 08:30:37 AM »

Why do obviously extremely sick people come to public places department: I am so angry at a croup-ridden lady who came to Gabe's swimteam the other morning. She walked by me twice (even though I moved) and coughed all over me, and I am now sicker than a dog. Oy.

I finally got around to listening to the 110 revival cast yesterday. To say I was disappointed may be the understatement of this year. What a waste! Even Audra doesn't sound great, but the whole score is butchered IM(not so H)O. This is probably my favorite early 60s musical score (my sister got to see it right before it closed in 1964 and brought the OCR back home when I was quite young, and I just fell in love with it), but this new recording is a travesty. End of rant.

Watched some DVD extra that had BK's close personal friend Nick Redman on screen in an IV. May I just say that BK's close personal friend Nick Redman is also very reminiscent of BK, appearance, if not voice, wise. They could be brothers if you ask me. I was also interested to see that said extras were produced by Trailer Park, which just happens to be where DS Betsy's brother works.

Well, this was sort of a surprise...

Disney's Tarzan to Close July 8

*At least they got a full two weeks notice. -And I'm guessing Disney did not want to take away from Beauty & The Beast's upcoming closing.

HHW LA contingent alert: We will be in LA for a few days around August 10 or so for our nephew's Bar Mitzvah, which will be a cozy little affair attended by a few thousand of his parents' closest friends (no joke). Maybe we could do a quick breakfast or lunch or something.

Jane · « **Reply #57 on:** June 23, 2007, 08:33:31 AM »

JMK-Feel better soon.

Jose-How does the Ioana you know pronounce her name, with an I sound or an E?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #58 on:** June 23, 2007, 08:34:34 AM »

Hmm... Well, I have a bit of time before I head down to the theatre. The pit equipment is not turned on until 12:30 (that's another union), so if I got there earlier, well...

Now I can just take surf, read and post at my leisure for a bit.

She pronounces basically like her name is spelled, it's almost phonetic:

EE-OH-AH-NA
