These editorial guidelines are driving me up the wall. I began them in June, then we got caught up in an office move and all that madness, and now I'm back to them and I need to finish them. The textual issue is the problem: how does one intelligently and scholastically say "in most cases of beaming, contemporary musical practice is followed except in thoses cases in which the holograph beaming is indicative of a particular need?" Sometimes it's easy, and at other times it doesn't flow. Oy! Every paragraph is like this.

How about something like: "We did what we did because we like it and because it works. If you don't like it, go take a hike!"

Has any DR seen Hal Prince's production of Don Giovanni at NY City Opera?

TOD: I thought cable sounded like a swell idea when it first came out: movies with no commercials. Then I heard they started putting commercials in and rates kept going up.

We never had cable, until the roofers removed our antenna and we had no reception at all. Then we got cable internet and basic cable tv was included in the package. Basic means network plus Discovery and maybe a fuzzy shopping channel or two.

Belated happy anniversary wishes, singdaw. I thought I'd sent those wishes, but I see I forgot.

Thanks very much, DR FJL!

Oh, that's right, Amy was/is DR Dan (the Man)'s girlfriend, not his wife.

Pretend girlfriend, that is.

We still meet for drinks and dinner once in a while, but I think she's just trying to get her artificial leg collection back (like that's gonna happen!)

TOD - Living in the middle of nowhere, we had a form of cable when I was young. It just allowed us to get the big 3 and public tv. I don't remember when I first had the other cable channels. I didn't watch that much TV when I was in high school - other than shows on the networks. I remember The Satellite News Channel and MTV starting up when I was in college...boy, this is something I just don't remember

I guess I can't answer that. I do know my Grandmother and her friends gathered around and watched what they thought was going to be a terribly scandalous show...The First Nudie Musical.

Note for MattH:

Is this a good deal?

All we have is a one disk Philadelphia Story.

der Brucer

THE PHILADELPHIA STORY is a much better transfer than the one disc edition (which I also had). All of the films are classics, and they all look great except LIBELED LADY which looks very old and beat up, but the movie's so wonderful you just roll with the punches. If you're a fan of the films, I certainly would spring for it since buying these together is cheaper than buying separately (and even if you only want, say, three, of the films, it's still cheaper unless you can find some very cheap used copies.)

Good morning!

It was an adequately cool morning, and it looks like we'll have two or three more days of highs in the 90s before finally cooling off (I hope for good in preparation for fall's arrival).

Matt H. · « **Reply #78 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:52:34 AM »

Today I'll be finishing THE CANTERVILLE GHOST (which I recorded off TCM and only saw 15 minutes of last night). I may watch ROCKY BALBOA on Blu-ray tonight since I won't have time for THE DEPARTED before THE CLOSER comes on.

And I'll record SAVING GRACE so I can speed through the commercials (and the sex scenes if there are any; last week didn't really have anything of the softcore porn variety like the week before).

We had a rotor antenna at home, so I didn't get my first cable experience until I moved to my first apartment in 1979. The complex had its own cable system and the best selection it had was The Movie Channel which I thought was the best thing ever invented.

I lived in that complex for three years: two years in a one bedroom garden apartment and the last year in a two bedroom garden (the second bedroom was used for my office and it was SO nice to get my desk out of the living room), and the complex always had The Movie Channel which, along with TBS, were my two favorite cable channels.

I didn't get HBO until I moved to the house I'm now living in in 1982 and subscribed to (then) Cablevision (now Time-Warner).

I have ordered the second season of BONES from Amazon, but no shipping notice yet, so no chance of getting it any time soon.

Thanks, DR Miss Karen!

When do you arrive in NYC? [just so DR FJL can have the flowers and chocolates ready, you know!]

Miss Karen · « **Reply #83 on:** September 10, 2007, 08:00:28 AM »

Hey Skookie ~ I'm just now catching up on past postings -- I see where your folks were in town and you didn't invite Boo-Key over to the dinner so he could meet them. I'm sure you never told them that they're grandparents, huh? Tsk, tsk, tsk....

We have had Comcast Cable since 1983.

I first discovered a channel called Entertainment or something like that. Every Saturday it would show Rocky Jones and My Little Margie episodes. And then on Saturday afternoon there would be a Greek variety show called "Potpourri" which I always watched.

What part did you enjoy the most? The "pot" or the "pourri"?

Man! I take a couple of days off and when I come back, Der Brucer is channeling DearReaderLaura.

Gotta scram -- tons of things to do today (well, all week) -- Suburb got me so off track (funny how a play can be like a black hole - pulling all your time and energy in to it...)

DerBrucer, they say those abandoned mine shafts are common out here, although I've never seen one. I don't go out into the wilds, though.

MusicGuy · « **Reply #89 on:** September 10, 2007, 08:17:07 AM »

Good morning dear DR Laura...... I'm popping in for a minute before a fairly early appointment I have this morning.

Very safe flying vibes ~~~~~~ for dear Jo-jo on his return to the Big Apple.

And continued "everything theatrical" vibes ~~~~~ for dear Esteemed BK !!
