Looking at the playlist for March 29th, I'm guessing Moon River?
(or as it's listed on the website: "Moon Rover"!)

Margaret Mitchell

Since the Margaret Mitchell museum is only a few blocks from my old house, I hang my head in shame.

I sent my best friend the link to The Ticket Place. She enjoyed their write ups of Wrigley Field:

"The bruisedly tough rash mutinously escapes a swiftly wasteful guy of conceit. Every podium I’ve been to at Wrigley Field has been a authoritative moment. The benign show at Wrigley Field is altruistic."

"The security staff at Wrigley Field is very convincing for all events. The loyal show at Wrigley Field is credible. When a spry cafeteria designs a laziness, a industrious elegant revolts out opportunistically. The defined show at Wrigley Field is passionate."

"The parking at the Wrigley Field is very gigantic. Wrigley Field is the fullest place to see an newsletter. The parking at the Wrigley Field is very spotty. The seats at Wrigley Field are very established."

"Wrigley Field is the filmiest place to see an pageant. Wrigley Field is a nimble place to enjoy an event. Wrigley Field can provide shows for all ages."

I think that DR EDISAURUS has added another new song title to my favorite list:

Moon Rover

I doubt anybody is going to remember her recurring role on L.A. Law if IMDB doesn't even remember it.

THE MIKADO was wonderful! I took Greg's sister and husband along. I thought they were G&S fans. It turns out they've seen The Mikado several times and my DB-I-L said it was his favorite theatre piece ever. We also had a wonderful dinner at JCT Kitchen.

The one thing that surprised me is the song "I've Got a Little List". I knew this was a historically accurate production, so when the list mentioned Simon Cowell, boy bands, blue tooth, ipods and blackberries ("most of these made in Japan"), governors cavorting with ladies of the night, I thought: "Whaaaaa?"

Then I assumed that when it was originally written, they would update the lyrics to reflect current news items.

Elmore, (or anyone else) do you know if that's the case?

DR edisaurus - "I've Got A Little List" is usually updated with contemporary references - even in otherwise "period" productions.

*On a related note, I like all the updates to "(I'll Take) Manhattan" according to what the currently long-running show of the day was.

If you rely on IMDb for complete, accurate information, let me introduce you to a little site I like to call Wikipedia.   ::)  ;D

I watched "The Mist" Saturday afternoon.  I have the 2-DVD version with the film in black-and-white on disc 2.

There are several fine performances in the film with Marcia Gay Harden chewing the scenery (in a good way) as a hellfire-and-brimstone *itch.

Thomas Jane is very good as the hero.  He is beautifully supported with a wild performance by William Sadler, a wonderful performance by Toby Jones, and extremely excellent supporting performances by Frances Sternhagen and Jeffrey DeMunn.  Andre Braugher is terrific, too.   The ending of this film is as tragic/heartbreaking as they come.  There is a lot of gore and grit and gruesomeness.  The creatures are fierce and fearsome.

But...and there is a "but" as I am sure you are aware...at 126 minutes, it's way too long for what it is.  There are scenes where I simply demanded that they "move along now"...exhorted loudly that "enough is enough"....and asked indignantly if the director was  "overindulgent ... much???"

I want to see it again.

And...with reservations (see above)...I recommend it if horror is your thing.

Marilyn McCoo of the Fifth Dimension!

I loved THE MIST! Everyone in the theatre was shocked by the ending, which is different from the novella, but much more effective and bleak.
