Woohoo! page 15! Now back to watch the last of the Lakers game!

DR Michael S - Interesting list of songs.  For some reason, I think there's a common thread to them.  Or not.  

[Matt H.]

I have some writing to do, so I'll log off now and get started on that.

Good night!

I'm a big fan of HAIRSPRAY: THE MOVIE, mostly because of Adam Shankman's surprising direction and energetic choreography, which IMHO is NOT harmed by the editing.  There is a focus to what Shankman does with his actors - especially John Travolta's Edna.  Though cut from the same cloth as Divine's Edna and Harvey Fierstein's Edna's, this is a character that I actually care for, and the little tentative steps taken out of the apartment during "Welcome to the 60s" clinched Travolta's Edna for me.  I'm not a Travolta fan by any means, and my one great acting coach worked with Travolta on TWO OF A KIND and had horror stories to tell about THAT experience, and I went into HAIRSPRAY expecting to be majorly disappointed by his Edna.  I can also finally listen to Edna's singing, something I had to skip over every time I listened to the Broadway Cast recording since I cannot tolerate Harvey's singing voice.
That's horse-racing, folks. . .
I still cannot believe that the same director gave us THE PACIFIER (Vin Diesel + a duck + children)!
There are some very clever bits in HAIRSPRAY, many which bring sheer joy to my heart, but even with Travolta's Edna being a feminine  creature, I still feel the acting honors go to Nikki, Michelle (who is also  as much fun in STARDUST), Christopher Walken, James Marsden, Paul Dooley, Elijah Kelly and Queen Latifah.
Loved HAIRSPRAY on the big screen, and love it on dvd.

It was an interesting dinner. There were 9 of us. The guest of honor was Pete Corroon, the mayor of Salt Lake County, not Salt Lake City. http://www.mayor.slco.org/html/maBio.html  He was quite pleasant and surprised me when he said "This has been a long day, I could really use a beer".   Anyway, it was a very fun relaxed dinner, lots of humor.  He is Howard Dean's first cousin.

JMK, he had heard of the museum but hasn't been there yet.

Closing night vibes to DR George!

Thanks!  Today, we had a great show and a full house...on a Sunday matinee, even!  I feel a little better now than this morning when I felt like total crap but I'm very tired and will go to sleep soon.  I woke up this morning and my voice was an octave lower than normal!  I got through the show without much trouble, so that was good.  We struck the set (and ate some pizza during the striking of the set) and then I came home.

[George]

closing vibes to George

And thank you, too, Dakota!

[George]

I also loved the Brain clips on YouTube!  Thanks for posting them, BK!

[George]

Well, I can barely keep my eyes open and my throat still hurts a bit.  I'm off to bed.  Good night, all!

[td]

Must get up an hour earlier tomorrow, so, it's off to bed an hour earlier tonight.
G'night all!

HUGS!

[JoseSPiano]

Well, walking around New York City and taking pictures is tiring, so...

Goodnight.

[singingnymph]

Yay! Eddie Izzard was on BBC America tonight & my cousin got to watch him for the first time. We sat there laughing our arses off. I knew he'd love him.

[DERBRUCER]

BK sometimes i find you are very harsh on things that are not bad at all.  You said you wanted ST to be better and you dismissed HAIRSPRAY the movie like it was crap..

bk dismissed Travolta but said some kind things about the film overall:

I liked Nikki Blonsky as Tracy very much, and I liked Amanda Bynes as Penny, although she never quite erased the memory of Kerry Butler. I enjoyed James Marsden as Corny, Queen Latifah was fine, and so were most of the supporting cast (and I liked Mr. Waters’ cameo). Christopher Walken is just strange as Wilbur, and I’m afraid that from my point of view, Mr. Travolta is a complete disaster as Edna. I don’t know what the voice or accent is, but it’s dreadful, unfunny, and it kills any chance the film had. Equally bad are all the changes from the show version – all of them are for the worse, and none necessary. Tracy almost takes a back seat during the last ten minutes of the film, and it’s a mistake. I certainly thought there were a few entertaining moments, and perhaps with a better director and Mr. Mitchell’s original choreography, this could have been something more than the mildly entertaining thing it is. For me, a major disappointment.

In the bk lexicon, calling something "mildly entertaining" is hardly dimissing it as "crap" - bk does not damn with faint praise, if he thinks it's total crap there will be verbal feces from the rooftops!

RE: SWEENEY TODD. I am very much looking forward to it. But i loved HAIRSPRAY (as did a lot of people).  I know everybody has their own opinions. But BK sometimes i find you are very harsh on things that are not bad at all.  You said you wanted ST to be better and you dismissed HAIRSPRAY the movie like it was crap (when there are some really crappy movies out there).

Regardless i'm sure ST will be a totally different type of movie.

I just call it the way I see it, as everyone should, and I think those who read the notes expect it of me.  All I ever want is to enjoy and love what I see - and sometimes it happens, as with Enchanted, but Hairspray simply didn't do it for me.  As I said, I enjoyed a few of the performances and thought some of it was okay, but I thought Travolta basically killed the film, and there were changes from the show that weren't good.  That said, many people loved it - it's all just horse racing and none of it should be taken seriously.  Opinions are like tacos - everyone has one.  No, that isn't right.  Opinions are like gazelles - everyone has one.  No.  Opinions are like teeth - everyone has one.  Yes, that works - well opinions are like tooth, everyone has one.

Did I miss the post?  Who is this addressed to?  In any case - A Second Chance has several recordings, including the version on the soundtrack LP, which I have transferred to CD.  Is The Falcon and the Dove the lyric to El Cid's love theme?  If so, that's on a Cloud Nine CD called Great Epic Film Scores, which I have, and it should be on the soundtrack CD, too.  Marmalade, Molasses and Honey is on the soundtrack to Judge Roy Bean, available from Film Score Monthly, I have that, too.   Mad World is on the soundtrack - oop, but I have it.  So Little Time is on the 55 Days At Peking CD, which I have.  Ballad of Cat Ballou is on the Capitol soundtrack LP, which is not on CD - I have a sealed copy.  But that single track is on a CD called Nat King Cole At The Movies - have that.  If you can find out what the others are from, I can check various CDs.

My goodness, The Two Jakes was too long - 134 minutes.

[singingnymph]

Solstice shopping is done!

[singingnymph]

Tomorrow will be another day of boredom & waiting for Kaiser to call & tell me how much they want me to come work there.

[DERBRUCER]

My goodness, The Two Jakes was too long - 134 minutes.

C'mon - in the grand epic days of the 50/60's we felt cheated if a film came in at under 150 minutes!

Quo Vadis - 171
Ben Hur - 212
Exodus 208
Around the World in 80 Days - 167

And even plain old dramas:

Anatomy of a Murder - 160
Doctor Zhivago - 197
A Star Is Born - 154

Any film that ran under 90 minutes was relagated to double-bill status.

Didn't show too much forethought in leaving my keyboard at my mom's when I moved. Now I'm in choir with no way to rehearse at home! DUH.
And my friend/director lives in Long Beach...just a little too far to drive for extra rehearsal time.

[singingnymph]

And my copy of FNM is still at home somewhere. I double checked the dvd case before I packed it...empty! I'm a bad fan.
